We will all agree that Dead Cells has been one of the games that have caused the most impact within the indie scene and that it has served to put the genre that many call metroidvania at the top (it won’t be necessary to say why). That happened in 2017 and four years later came the next work by Sebastien Bénard, which has gone somewhat more unnoticed. Do you know what Nuclear Blaze is and how much you are missing?
Goodbye Dead Cells , hello Nuclear Blaze
Many studios are born with the idea of trying to get their head in the industry at whatever price but, above all, with a success that provides them with economic stability to face the next one. Although if you succeed too much, then a bigger problem is generated: what can I do to improve what is already extraordinary without disappointing the followers I have earned? That’s what good old Sebastien must have thought when he got down to business with his next game after the Dead Cells phenomenon.
The product of that effort was Nuclear Blaze , a title that seems somewhat minor but that came to computers in October of last year, when its great springboard for fame was still collecting congratulations and, also, extra content through DLC that have been completing the original experience. Dead Cells was still very much alive among gamers on virtually all platforms, be it consoles, computers, or mobiles and tablets.
Nuclear Blaze was, as we say, in the background. Without occupying the stage or the spotlight, but once again seducing the (so far few) players who ended up with it in stores like Steam. Whether accidentally or consciously, there are few users who have been able to resist this magical task of fighting fire, and worse, within a tremendous nuclear catastrophe.
Great present and better future
Our role in Nuclear Blaze is that of a kind of firefighter armed with a fireproof suit and a hose with a small water tank who must eliminate the fire from each scenario, obviously taking into account things like the fact that a quantity of fire accumulates behind the doors. enormous energy that can explode in our faces, or that we must always have a tank of H2O on hand to refill our only weapon.
A priori it seems simple but we already told you that it has its crumb to achieve the objectives of each phase and, above all, always keep us safe. Graphically, as you can see, it inherits a certain air from the great Dead Cells with that pixel art look that suits a video game so well, and it’s clear that its radius of influence is somewhat smaller, but no less fun for that. And if we look at its price, barely new euros, it already says it all.
On consoles? Well, as you have seen in the video that you have above, its rhythmic success on PC has allowed its creators to bring it to PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch for next year, specifically for April 28, 2023. Are you going to try it?
