In fact, I myself almost quit playing it because the first few hours will be spent redoing the first few floors over and over again with the same boring starter weapons (or one of a PLETHORA of useless guns you'll waste keys on) until you start unlocking more items through play (via shops at the Hub) - there simply isn't enough starting variety with items and the like to make it feel interesting for those initial hours. NT levels are basically one single map chock full of enemies and you have to kill them all to spawn the exit.ĮtG is much much grindier, especially at first. NT also has smaller levels in general, whereas EtG is similar to the Isaacs and such that have multiple connected rooms that you must clear before moving on. There's also actual melee in NT and it's pretty damn awesome, whereas EtG has like 2 weapons that do melee damage and a few other melee-esque weapons that mostly destroy bullets, rather than harm enemies (pushes them back). Mutations basically replace item powerups, and items are basically just resources like radiation (experience), ammo, and a lot of different gun types that you swap out while you play. Everyone else already covered the rest, from loop replayability to character traits being a bit beyond "start with this weapon and item", especially because you gain levels and can pick skills (mutations) at the end of each level/map (assuming you leveled up during said level/map) that synergize with your character specific traits - however it's not really a loot fest or item-driven game like Isaac and EtG. NT is way faster paced, especially at first. RoR 2 making it 3D was a stroke of genius, because kiting in a 3 dimensional environment is significantly more interesting for obvious reasons, and you can actually put effort into doing things like dodging attacks which was quite limited in the original game.Īnyway, to answer the OP's question it mostly depends on what you're looking for.īuy Nuclear Throne if you want an arcadey, fast-paced shooter where the screen is filled with hellish death and where moment-to-moment twitch shooting is key.īuy Gungeon if you want a slower-paced, more methodical shooter about learning enemy patterns.Īnother major difference between the games is that Nuclear Throne is way more character-driven (Your run is largely determined by the character you pick at the start and you generally go down a specific build route with them) while Gungeon is way more item-driven (the characters you pick at the start have upsides and downsides, but primarily your items are gonna determine how you play). It was essentially just a game about kiting and cooldown management, and you'd sometimes spend several minutes just kiting every enemy on the map into a big ball and slowly whittling down their health. Risk of Rain was fun, but its main issue was that the combat was pretty bad. Originally posted by Außenseiter:Maybe I will check it again when it's finished, but in my opinion it's the wrong direction for the sequel to take. Gungeon is a lot more bullet hell dodging skills focused, and NT is more strategic with bullet hell mixed in. Really, it just depends on what you're going for. Both games have co-op, but nuclear throne has a mod called Nuclear Throne Together where you can more easily play it online with friends and not just local. The 30 FPS in NT isn't a big deal in the slightest. There are barely ever any iframes in NT, and it is easy to die instantly, but 90% of these deaths are avoidable, and you learn to counter them more as you play. Where in NT, the game will always suprise you. In Gungeon however, when you get good at the game, 95% of your runs are won consistantly. Gungeon has a TON of unlocks and such, like items, new characters, stuff you get for killing pasts, etc. NT is a lot more fast paced and has a looping mechanic where after the "final" boss is defeated in a certain way, you start back at the first level with all your stuff with the world having become more chaotic, adding new bosses and more weapons. EtG has a lot more quantity, but NT has more endless replayability IMO, though it depends on what you're doing.
