Nuclear Throne is a post-apocalyptic roguelike shooter which has been on Steam in Early Access for over a year at time of writing. Developers Vlambeer have been steadily updating the game since then, slipping out an update most weeks to improve the game. Now they have announced that people who have bought the game before the beginning of the new year will be given an extra copy of the game for free to gift to friends.

Vlambeer’s Rami Ismail praised the game’s community for how adept they had become at the game, and said that they hoped by giving out the second copies the community would spread the love of the game with others and bring in “fresh eyes” for the game’s further development.

The game was originally known as Wasteland Kings before the name was changed just over a year ago to Nuclear Throne. so far no release date for the full game has been set by the developers.
