As a whole, the soundtrack is full of the right nostalgic nods and brash, no nonsense scene setting. This is especially true for those of Nuclear Throne’s ilk and such a finely tuned game requires a soundtrack full of character and longevity. SummaryĪ ‘Rogue Lite’ style game lives and dies on its ability to bring the player back time and time again into its warm fuzzy loops of action. An easy trap to fall into when celebrating such retro gameplay. The boss transition and themes are cliché and oddly bland. This is not to say the soundtrack is perfect though. Another excellent diversion from the main route of the album. I prefer to think “So Green” is a bonus track, rather than a level I haven’t reached. Another bonus track, “Where the Guns At” (featuring Joonas Turner), recalls another Vlambeer creation Gun Godz and its titular character Yung Venuz.ĭespite me being able to cruise into the top 50 on a Daily Challenge and have looped twice with every character, I still did not recognise the rumbling percussive drone rock jam on the Bandcamp release. It’s given away by the four turtles and a rat present in the level, but the perky chiptune melody calls you straight back to the classic NES release of TNMT. Other tracks, like “What’s That Smell” (featuring Eirik Suhrke) for the secret Pizza Sewers level, bow down to chiptune royalty. Nuclear Throne OST by Jukio “Kuabee” Kallio Campfire melodies echoing through the high plains, calling on that melancholy self destructive warmth of classic railroad Blues, straight from Heartworn Highways. The pace change is decisively slower, sparser and welcome, ushering in serene zen level focus. A couple of levels have alternative music playing once in a while to break the loops. Through the score, Kozilek taps into veins of Blues, Country, Breaks, and Hiphop, mined expertly to accompany trashing the wastelands. The tumbling percussion and rolling bass kicks drive forward through the rousing introduction. “Legend of the Throne” is instantly memorable, with its haunting harmonica calling on those classic Ennio Morricone ‘Once Upon A Time in America’ lines. Straight from the splashscreen, a Country and Blues inflected guitar riff calls to gunslingers of the old west, the motif of the game, crashing to crescendo for the character select. And the soundtrack is well worth revisiting too… Body Explosions and recoil rock the screen, weapons are thunderous, pacing is slick and addictive, and death is frequent and deserved. So many similar games have come and gone since 2014, but Nuclear Throne stands a firm fan favourite in large part due to its feel. Wasteland Kings, Luftrausers and, boasting the rowdiest time in the wastelands, Nuclear Throne. Jukio Kallio (formerly Kozilek), a Finnish Tech House producer, has worked together with indie developer Vlambeer on a few of their relentlessly mad games now.
