What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The characters speak their own official language as well which is hilarious.
as Nuclear Throne is older than Gungeon, but if you're wondering on my opinions, I prefer Nuclear Throne by a significant margin, specific gameplay differences are things like how taking damage is a lot more forgiving as you can get heals more frequently, but it's equally as punishing, such as many things in the game being able to deal half your HP worth of damage, or even outright one-shot you, it's just the kind of style I'd much prefer, because I don't have to stress over whether or not I should restart because I already took a hit early on.
Was a pleasant surprise to find out that the banger OST for this game was composed by THE Jukio Kallio (The guy responsible for the Fall Guys OST, and Evil Factory OST, if anyone even remembers that game).
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 5 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
