I am very nearly convinced this game mathematically picks the worst mutations to give you at any given time.

I only played one rogue-like in my life and this was "faster than light". Explain to me what rogue-like is and why i should play them, i thought about to start with "nuclear throne" because it looks bizarre and i mostly play twisted games. Also rogue-like thread.

Well, I finally did it! No mess ups. Good enough gear. Good skill rolls. Good map patterns for a few difficult areas.

Crystal. Was blessed with a Lightning hammer, a flak cannon in some areas, and a hyper rifle when fighting throne

Took me about 40+ hours (if we count the beta of wasteland kings, and earlier versions of NT). …

Digging Nuclear Throne. Light and simple. As always with Rogue-likes I wish there was a way to jump ahead. I feel I will never be good enough to see much of the content later in the game.

I'm apparently not very good at this game. I seem to get to the same damn spot just about every run. I try and change up my strategy and characters, but I just hit the same damn wall every time. I feel like this game is all about the luck of your drops, and it is starting to get frustrating. …

I feel like this game is all about the luck of your drops, and it is starting to get frustrating. Maybe I won't be getting to the Nuclear Throne before I move on...

I started playing Nuclear Throne this weekend, and I guess I won't be playing any other video games ever again because I'm not playing anything else until I get to that damn throne!
