![]() ![]() Once you've found your favourite character and you've got them on screen, weapon of choice in hand, you'll waft carefully through procedurally generated stages. Your choice of mutant will also affect your moment to moment decision making, and so unlocking them all will give you even more options to play around with (that said, we're still fans of sticking it on random and playing the hand that's dealt us). Some are more subtle than others, but each will inform your approach and push you towards playing in different ways and exploring new tactics. When you've got enough it's time to learn a new skill, and between stages you have the opportunity to choose a new ability. As you blast your way through the different stages your enemies will drop radioactive energy that you collect until you're ready to level up. ![]() The assembled cast are quirky band of little mutants, and there's fun to be had in discovering each of their strengths (don't worry, it won't take you long to find their respective weaknesses). Not only that, but you'll need to get familiar with the various systems that are working away in the background, and exploit them wherever possible. Some are better suited to particular play-styles than others, and getting to the titular throne at the end of the game will require a level of mastery over your chosen wastelander. Perhaps our favourite thing is the roster of characters, unlocked after reaching particular milestones, and each bringing to the table their own nuances and abilities. Since the game launched properly (not only on PC, it recently landed on PS4 and PS Vita too) we've notched up a few more hours with the title, and what we've experienced during that time is a challenging, colourful, addictive roguelike-like shooter. We've dipped in and out of Vlambeer's post-apocalyptic wasteland during the last few months, but as with all Early Access games, we prefer to wait until they're finished before we fully commit. ![]()
