Post-apocaltypic roguelike Nuclear Throne was a blast. Knife-edge dodge rolls, chunky shotguns, playable telekinetic eyeball monsters. It had all of it – besides clearly a workforce of modders disagreed. Their homebrewed “Territorial Expansion” got here out final week, with sufficient doo dahs and polish to move as an official replace. There are new areas, enemies, bosses, weapons and characters. Also, pet parrots. Nothing like a pet parrot to lure me again to armageddon.
It’s bought a snazzy trailer ‘n all.
Mostly on present there’s the seashore, a secret space you possibly can attain by “throwing bones at something specific”. I’ve solely performed for ten minutes to date, and have labored out this isn’t the exit portal. This is a disgrace, as I’m eager to satisfy the geese with hammers. Someone inform me the way to attain the geese with hammers.
The solely concretely new creature I’ve met, the truth is, has been a sewer rat sporting a gasoline masks who poisoned me to loss of life. That horrible early tunnels part has been made extra horrible. Grand.
I’m not complaining. Part of the explanation I haven’t seen a lot of the brand new stuff is as a result of I’m rustier than a post-apocalyptic screwdriver, and hold being eaten by horrible scorpions. I’d anticipate an enlargement like this to sprinkle in additions reasonably than completely change the stability of the opening degree. Difficulty is a fragile factor with a punishing roguelike like Nuclear Throne, and I’m intrigued to see how Team Te has dealt with it.
The mod’s web site mentions “merged weapons”, “chest shops” and “bonus pickups” as fully new options. I couldn’t discover extra data, however that’s as a result of discovering these items for your self is a part of the purpose.
To play, you’ll must first seize the Nuclear Throne Together mod, then observe the (easy) directions here, then seize the Territorial Expansion from here and pop it in your shiny new “mods” folder. You then want to start out a game, press T, and sort “/load NTTE”. Make certain it’s in the appropriate mods subfolder, and be sure to launch the NuclearThroneTogether.exe reasonably than the traditional game. I made each of those errors so that you don’t should.
