Nova Nukers!

Nova Nukers! is a compact but energetic multiplayer-focused action game that embraces chaos, speed, and accessibility above all else. Developed by Alchemist Interactive and published by Assemble Entertainment, it positions itself firmly in the party-game space, where the primary goal is to create loud, unpredictable moments that are best shared with friends. Rather than offering a sprawling feature set or narrative framework, the game focuses on delivering short, explosive matches that thrive on momentum, improvisation, and constant player interaction. From the first match, it’s clear that Nova Nukers! is designed to be immediately engaging, prioritizing fun and readability over depth or long-term progression. At its core, the game is built around arena-based combat on small, stylized planets that act as self-contained battlegrounds. Up to four players face off using an assortment of bombs, gadgets, and physics-driven mechanics that turn every encounter into a scramble for survival. Movement is quick and responsive, and the arenas are filled with hazards and terrain features that force players to stay alert at all times. Falling off a planet, misjudging a jump, or getting caught i…

tbh, I had hopes for the game, by all the ideas, they sounded good and all, until I later noticed that nobody plays the game anymore, there are no ways to play with bots, its just lost its shine, there goes a waste of money :(

Want some local multiplayer mayhem where you bomb friends? Then check out this Cheapness affordable gaming review of BOMBFEST and Nova Nukers [Episode 83] https://youtu.be/xhHvv38ZzV0 Quick text review of Nova Nukers only: -No story or campaign (Splitscreen multiplayer with an online capability) ... just play until everything is unlocked (Only took 2 hours) -Planets (The playing arenas) are the best unlock but are a slog to get (Play the previous planet 6 times to unlock the next) -I would guess the online is barren as the amount of Steam reviews are low (Quite an unknown game) -Simple, fun, mobile, essentially 3rd person shooter, bomb gameplay (It is chaotic though and the mode where you bomb and then capture someone is a bit of a grind as capturing takes a while, but you can decrease capture time in the options or can consider this vulnerability part of the game) Has a nice orbital bombardment revenge mechanic too... -It carves away nicely at the small, spherical, wrapping planet just as the other weapons do in a pleasant wormsian fashion (The planets are a big draw) plus the graphics in general are nice and cartoony -Has pleasant, playful, space gladiator music (Remi…

A party game based around stunning and catching each other on destructible miniature planets. [hr][/hr] Up to 4 players, any number of whom can be bots, are dropped onto a tiny planet, on which they can freely move around. You can also dash around, stunning any players you pass through. Stunned players can than be caught, by being close to them for a set amount of time without being interrupted. Each player caught grants you a point and a round ends once only one player is left on the planet. You play any number of rounds, until one of you reaches a set number of points. The planet you’re on is fully destructible, over time revealing its core, which you’ll bounce off of once, with the second bounce killing you and subtracting one of your points. Nova Nukers! features a lot of items, awarded at random when collecting item boxes. These can be used to set traps, destroy the planet or stun other players in different ways. Additionally, dead players get to control a laser beam, positioning it and firing it every couple of seconds to further destroy the planet. There are different planets, often featuring some unique mechanics along with a unique theme. The game also features a few di…

Fun game needs a bigger map current one is small

I almost never review anything. I wanted to show this game some love. I HAD A BLAST with 4-player local multi (split-screen). This is an AWESOME party game. The mystery cube pickups / items are very reminiscent of Mario Kart, but it isn't a racing game. There are 3 game modes to keep it interesting. I wish there were more, BUT for what it is... plenty interesting and great fun. I wasn't really expecting much from this. Far better than I expected! We will definitely be coming back to Nova Nukers. Frantic action-packed fun! Lot's of screaming! It needs to be on local multiplayer game curation lists. So sad to see as of the time of this writing the game only has 12 reviews. This is worthy!!
