Overview
Description

99 Levels to Hell is a fast‑paced platform shooter that blends classic side‑scroll action with roguelike randomness. Each run generates a new set of dungeons filled with traps, monsters, shops, and secret rooms, keeping the experience fresh and challenging. Survive waves of enemies, upgrade your arsenal with guns and magic, and defeat a boss every ten levels to unlock the next dungeon. The game offers single‑player depth for indie fans who love procedural challenges and loot‑driven progression.

Nuclear Throne is an action roguelike by Vlambeer that pits twelve mutant heroes against a hostile, post‑apocalyptic wasteland. Players mutate on the fly, collect powerful guns, and fight through procedurally generated levels to claim the mysterious super‑weapon. The game supports single‑player, multiplayer and co‑operative modes across PC, consoles and Switch, offering relentless twin‑stick combat, endless replayability and a gritty sci‑fi aesthetic.
