John Bedford (Modojo): Ready for the apocalypse? Nuclear Outrun's out now on the App Store, and puts you in charge of a heavily armored vehicle, blasting through the undead and grabbing all the survivors left in the ravaged city. Struggling to get on top of the game? Check out our essential hints and tips for new players.
Nuclear Outrun is the mobile adaptation of the popular flash game from way back in 2012. In this game you play as one of many survivors, driving a truck through a horde of zombies and other villains who are trying to kill you. It’s an endless driver game, but unlike most endless drivers, you don’t control the truck – you only control the gunner.
The brain devouring undead have shambled their way onto the iOS platform in Gamenauts’ endless genre-based racer, Nuclear Outrun. A nuke is descending on the city to destroy the fleshing eating menace, and your only escape from the blast is a modified pickup truck.
David : I’ve always been a fan of anything related to zany apocalyptic scenarios, which is why I was excited about reviewing Nuclear Outrun. I got much more than what I expected from this particular title as it features a nuclear wasteland and zombies in addition to a flying T-Rex, bible based weaponry, sharks spewing out from the ground, and even teddy bears. While the amalgamation of all these elements may seem like a mash-up of every B movie imaginable, Nuclear Outrun actually works quite well with this premise, as realism is certainly not the point here. Simply put, Nuclear Outrun is silly, wacky, self-gratifying, and an absolute joy to play.
