Stories from my time playing Nuclear Nightmare: > Spawn in with four other players. > See helicopter and get onboard. > One of us claims to be an amazing pilot. > All five of us fly halfway across the map and actually land without blowing up. \(0-0)/ > Two seconds after landing, a giant worm comes from underneath and eats all of us. > Game Over. ___________ > Meet six randoms in a public lobby who only speak medieval Old English like Warhammer characters. > Run around the map killing monsters and doing objectives while calling each other "Brother" and preaching the ways of the lord. > Last objective is research. We have to get someone infected and then test them. Evacuation is near. It's been a perfect game. > The Brothers call a meeting. Six of us sit in a room planning. There is tension in the group between those who wish to extract early and those who wish to complete research. One Brother is missing. > The generator goes off, most likely due to a Thing monster. > The missing Brother turns on the generator. > A disarmed explosive tripwire in our meeting room turns back on and obliterates all of us. > The last Brother goes to extract without a clue of what he's done, put off by our "mysterious disappearances" on the status report. > Gets killed by a mushroom head monster. > Learns of his sins at the pearly gates with us. > Game Over. _______ > Join a random lobby with a guy REALLY good at impressions. > Sit there giggling like a girl the whole game listening to him do objectives and run away from monsters as Muscle Man from Regular Show. > We stop to refill the snow mobile at a gas station between base camps. > Muscle Man goes quiet. > I ask him, "You okay, man?" > "Oh no, bro. I think I'm infected, bro. REEWAREERARAAA!" He transforms and starts running at me. > I fat finger my hotkeys to get my shotgun set to 5 and instead press 6. > Start break dancing. > Narrowly escape death and put Muscle Man in the dirt.

Nuclear Nightmare This is a cooperative horror game inspired by The Thing and styled similarly to Lethal Company, which instantly makes it appealing for fans of co-op chaos. It’s worth mentioning that the game is currently in beta, and replay value is clearly its weak point since there’s only one map available, and it doesn’t change (except for the spawn locations of items, of course). The game supports 1 to 8 players, and your goal is to complete tasks on each pseudo-open-world location. These tasks often involve uploading critical data from a computer to a server (for which you’ll need to ensure satellite communication is enabled beforehand), taking photos of key objects, or getting infected and undergoing an MRI scan as an infected player. There are 10 such tasks in total, and depending on the difficulty level you choose, you’ll need to complete 4, 6, or 8 tasks to finish the game. The game features several types of weapons and vehicles (snowmobiles and helicopters). Personally, I consider the helicopter a bit of a joke. While it’s the fastest and most convenient way to travel, it’s also the riskiest—zero visibility makes it easy to crash, and unexpected events can occur along the way (like being attacked by a UFO). Overall, I enjoyed the concept and execution. It’s a good choice for 1–2 evenings with friends. Moreover, the game’s price is very low, making it highly accessible. The only major concern is replay value, but since this is just the beta version, I hope they’ll add more maps and content soon. This game has the potential to become something really exciting.

Hello! I like this game very much! Some days ago I played with 2 friends this game and randomly an albanian named "alb" joined us, he was very cool but because this game doesn't have steam overlay support I couldn't add him. After the game ended we left, we tried to search him up on steam but without succes, you can't get after 10000 results on steam; so Alb if you see this pls add me.

If you like The Thing, this game is great for you. Just from the title card alone you can see how inspired this is from the film, but it kinda lives up to it. Gameplay is more going from spot to spot doing challenges, and of course avoiding monsters. But is pretty solid regardless. Great game to play with friends especially with the 7 buck pricetag.
