About
In a vast, inhospitable alien world, you are the expendable. Cloned from DNA for a single purpose: to test the most devastating, over-the-top, and downright absurd weaponry known to the galaxy. Welcome to NIMRODS, the ultimate survival roguelite shooter where the guns you craft are the legacy you leave.
Experience the innovative roguelite where your previous gun builds aren't just memories—they're your backup! Deploy guns crafted from past runs in drones to assist the next grunt. Every run is a story, but each gun is a heroic saga.
Embark on a journey through diverse alien biomes, each meticulously molded by a distinct set of enemies and bosses. Every corner is teeming with specialized encounters and valuable resources to discover.
Break the game with your creativity. Collect insane weapon parts from airdrops and craft combinations so powerful, so bizarre, they have to be seen to be believed. Create your dream weapon, or a nightmarish contraption that defies all laws of physics and common sense.
Delve into unique progression systems where DNA modifications can evolve your future clones. Tailor your abilities and your drone's AI to complement your playstyle, and optimize your upgrade drops for pivotal enhancements.
As the corporate overlords watch from above, you're constantly faced with hordes of relentless aliens. Complete insane missions, stack bodies, and remember: you probably won’t make it, but your guns definitely will.

Game sucks. Terribly balanced and no real way to gain health just a big slog. Seems like developer has given up on trying to make it a fun experience.
Its a fun game, though the mechanics are a bit constrained. Only getting a single reroll per run is limiting. You're forced into a 25 minute time limit. Once you defeat the final boss, you simply win. It would be nice to play very long runs to explore the map fully in a single go (with good RNG), but you can't. More importantly, while you feel a sense of progression in the game, by the time you've unlocked everything, you've already defeated all the bosses dozens of times. There's no end-game challenge, which defeats the purpose of unlocking/upgrading everything in the first place
Grindy af after the 10-15 hour mark. Honestly a bunch of rebalancing needed for mid-game. You end up just slamming your head against the wall for resources for a while. If they manage to properly rebalance in the latest update (it's in beta branch right now but you lose progress so I'm not bothering) then maybe I'll return to it, otherwise meh. Grind for grind's sake is not fun. Whole game needs a rebalancing pass before I'll pick it back up. ---- Cheat Engined my way past some of the resource grind and the game just opened right up. Seriously, it's just a balancing issue in the mid-game. Otherwise a fun game.
There are a lot of mixed comments from the community regarding the difficulty of the game, but I think that they may be misaligned. I actually found the game to be incredibly easy in regard to unlocking mechanics and beating each run-through, but at the same time this is only because the game is incredibly new, not flushed out all the way, and there are A LOT of balancing issues. For example, there are two types of builds that can be taken that will blow this game out of the park (will let you figure it out), while there are another 5-8 that simply don't have anywhere near the impact that one would hope. Even so, the pros are incredibly strong despite the number of cons and limitations. Pros: - The large map gives a fun explorative feel to a genre that is generally quite linear amongst games. - There progression system feels fluid and unique with a lot of pre-run tools to customize. - The ways in which you build for each run can be fun (though again it's imbalanced right now). - The mechanics for leveling is unique in regard to how levels are achieved. - There are hidden secrets in the game. Cons: - (Not really a fair con) The game is in early development so there is a lot of content that needs to be expanded on in order to make the game feel complete when it comes to builds. - Game is not balanced for what builds are available (elemental builds and ability builds need major improvement). - The single map is good, but more maps with more biomes would make the game more unique, challenging, and allow for better replayability. - Bosses are overly straightforward, easy to understand, and you can pretty much avoid all damage against them relatively easily. - The resource mechanic is a little stingy with progression requiring resources but resources being difficult to accumulate in comparison to how different mechanics are quickly unlocked. Overall Verdict: Get it if you are bored and wanting to kill some time. If not, give the game some times and purchase when it's more flushed out.
VERY sluggish progression. After 9 hours and reading everything I could find online I am just doing the same things over and over again and getting nowhere.
If you’re looking for a fast fun and addictive ,this game is absolutely worth trying. I enjoyed this game so much thanks to its simple mechanics, easy to learn gameplay, and the crazy amount of weapon combinations you can create. The mix of gun parts and upgrades keeps every run fresh and exciting, while the lightweight graphics make it run smoothly even on low-end hardware. It’s chaotic, satisfying, and surprisingly hard to put down once you start blasting through alien planets .
Really fun game honestly. I expected to play for 2 hours and ended up spending more than 5 just trying different weapons and builds. The progression and weapon variety kept me hooked the whole time.
Love exploring the map further with each run. Trying to build the most absurd weapon is a lot of fun.
I am very bad at this game. I still love it, but god does it hate me. 100% would recommend, just, get good.
yes.
