Nuclear Blaze review!


Nuclear Blaze is a new platformer game with a fun mechanism about fire fighting in retro filters. Nuclear Blaze is developed by the same creators of the Dead Cells 'Deepnight Games'. The game has a lot of crazy stuff even with a CRT visual like filter. Today we will tackle Nuclear Blaze, because after 10 mins in, I was unable to stop playing the game. This is Joey and this is Nuclear Blaze on GamerFlux.

Nuclear Blaze is a 2D story about a group of fire fighters who got dispatched to a fire in a forest. While you, a fire fighter, trying to progress through the forest, you stumble upon a facility of some sort and it looks on fire. Following on your instinct, you go on and venture through the facility. You don't know anything about this facility as it looks to be hidden and unofficial to the government maps. That's all what I will say about the game story, want to know more? go play the game. The amount of intel placed in the game is good and informative, almost making you fully aware of what this facility is about and the target it was built for. This is going to keep you hooked for the game. Each intel gives you more information about the place that makes you want to venture further and further to know what happened there.

The gameplay mechanics of the game was good and fun, in a way that complimented the game story. You are a fire fighter always putting off fires, so you need water. You carry a tank of water that has a certain amount of water. When it gets finished, you will find water resources attached to walls of the facility, so you can refill the tank and get going to the next fire. This was fun and good. The tanks were actually well placed so it doesn't get so hard or so easy. The game actually had a great direction without anything apparent. You just follow the fire, wherever it goes and there you find the unexpected style of direction. It was fun and not so obvious direction. Physics were good, Once an explosion occurs on screen, the fire begins and then keeps spreading if you don't put it off. Eventually the fire may fill the entire level and you die. This actually was a lot of fun to watch, seeing fire act like fire on real world eating everything on its way.

Nuclear Blaze had a very distinctive gameplay artstyle. The game had the visuals of a retro CRT game, like Neo Geo games back in the day. This was great and customizable in the menu screen. I liked the style, and it complimented the game style and the direction. This made the game look like Dead Cells but in a more distinctive style. This is good for a small game like Nuclear Blaze. The game size was so small like around 80 mb, which is good for limited bandwidth people like me. The Retro style art also made the game more accessible on older devices as less compute work is required to run the game, so for me it is a huge plus.

The Verdict

Nuclear Blaze is a 2D platformer game about fire fighting and exploring a hidden facility inside a forest with nuclear engines and so much fire to put off. From the makers of Dead Cells, came Nuclear Blaze and so much more yet tp come. Great physics, good retro artstyle and fun puzzles to solve and questions to get answers to. You can get the game on steam.

There is no right or wrong, you choose to explore the upper part first or the lower part. with each having the difficulty of stunts, enemies, traps and s...
