Nuclear Throne

A fast top-down shooter roguelike set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where you play a mutant heading for the throne. Every run is new, with random weapons and mutations, and you die often and start over. Choose from several characters and play solo or in local co-op for two. Is it your kind of game?
