Fight your way through a mysterious facility and try to keep the blaze under control.\n\nAs a trained firefighter, you're being air-dropped right in the middle of this hell blaze to investigate and look for survivors. But the unexpected presence of an unknown military facility might somewhat affect your plans.\n\nUsing only your fire hose and your skills, you try to clear all fires in each area. But that won't be an easy task: wildfire will spread around you, and even just opening a door might become a serious threat if not planned carefully.\n\nBut Nuclear Blaze isn't only about firefighting: the world is packed with secrets, story bits and... cats to save!","83674\u002Fnuclear-blaze-cover.jpg","83674\u002Fnuclear-blaze-header.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fyoutu.be\u002FzERLzDkyoDs","2021-10-18",80.86,153876,"nuclear-blaze",1662480,[19],{"company":20,"developed":22,"published":22},{"name":21},"Deepnight Games",true,[24,25,26],"Platform","Adventure","Indie",[28,29,30,31,32],"PC (Microsoft Windows)","PlayStation 4","Xbox One","Nintendo Switch","PlayStation 5",[34,50,65,79,93,105,119],{"id":35,"author":36,"outlet":39,"summary":45,"review_url":46,"review_date":47,"original_score":48,"normalized_score":49},62028,{"id":37,"name":38},3920,"Richard Seagrave",{"id":40,"logo":41,"name":42,"website_url":43,"score_format":44},27,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameSpew-Logo.jpg","GameSpew","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespew.com","10","A 2D firefighting game, Nuclear Blaze will draw you in with its mysterious premise and then keep you hooked with its engaging puzzle-platforming gameplay.

Not at all. The biggest frustration came from the gamepad controls. I started playing with my preferred d-pad input but found that aiming the water hose was nearly impossible until I swapped to the control stick. The adventure also ends just as things were really getting heated up. Nuclear Blaze understands the value of not wearing out a welcome. Just when I had decided that I was smitten with the game, I reached its narrative conclusion. If the idea was to leave me wanting more, then the mission was successful. Because this is still a small indie project based on a game jam submission, potential buyers should understand that Nuclear Blaze does not burn for long, but it does, in fact, burn twice as bright.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.shacknews.com\u002Farticle\u002F127190\u002Fnuclear-blaze-review-extinguish-your-boredom",{"id":106,"author":107,"outlet":110,"summary":115,"review_url":116,"review_date":117,"original_score":118,"normalized_score":64},76840,{"id":108,"name":109},5577,"Adrian Burrows",{"id":111,"logo":112,"name":113,"website_url":114,"score_format":44},56,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FTheSixthAxis-Logo.jpg","TheSixthAxis","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.thesixthaxis.com\u002F","If you are looking for another Dead Cells, another indie souls-lite-vania, then you might be disappointed by Nuclear Blaze.
