Thermonuclear

A fun little game. A bit clunky UI, so you need to spend some time to learn it. Sometimes game give you hard challenges and you will not be able to finish some missions from a first try.

6/10 RPG/TBS that mixes Into the Breach, XCom, and Darkest Dungeon. TLDR: An interesting TBS game which reminds Into the Breach with its battles, XCom with its world map and missions, and Darkest Dungeon with the level maps and base screen. Yet the UI and the controls are clunky, the first hour with the game is like stumbling in the darkness, and there are many bugs. The "permadeath/high difficulty" and "buggy/unclear" is a bad combo because you can't even re-load after you repeatedly make mistakes which aren't your fault or simply run into bugs which make you fail or waste resources. Check it out only if you're very patient. Good: - an interesting combat system. It has a geometry component to it. E.g. some enemies and some of your abilities attack only diagonally - there are multiple effects that inter-play with each other. E.g. your or enemy attacks can set stuff on fire. But if you are on an ice tile, the fire is put out. You can push enemies, and they can bump into rocks or each other and take additional damage. You can push enemies into water to make them drown. The "physics" system is quite complex and open-ended here (with the unfortunate flip side that there are subtle bu…

Clunky but good.

A (very) scaled down version of Darkest Dungeon with SRPG style turn-based combat. While the game does have some good points like a large amount of enemy and weapon variety, the fact that you play as a single immortal character that have no drawbacks from dying really takes away all the tension that Darkest Dungeon and some of the other games following it had.

Sorry but it's slow, restrictive, repetitive(especially maps) clunky and unfortunately too widespead while not adding anything important.

Thermonuclear is a turn-based sci-fi roguelite that combines tactical combat, procedural mission design, and cyberpunk-inspired worldbuilding into a tense and often unforgiving strategy experience. Developed by Apushev Vitaly and published by Meridian4, the game places players in control of a heavily armed combat cyborg navigating a devastated future ruled by war, rogue technology, and mutated enemies. Rather than focusing on cinematic storytelling or large-scale strategy mechanics, the game centers itself around survival, careful planning, and long-term progression through difficult missions. While it clearly shows signs of being a smaller indie production, Thermonuclear still delivers a surprisingly engaging tactical loop for players willing to embrace its rough edges. The game immediately establishes a grim atmosphere through its dystopian setting. The world feels completely destroyed by endless conflict, with ruined industrial facilities, frozen wastelands, abandoned cities, and dangerous laboratories serving as the primary battlegrounds. The pixel-art visuals may appear simple, but they effectively capture the feeling of a broken civilization dominated by machines and violenc…
