"Undoubtedly, it has been a pleasant surprise to find Nuclear Blaze, a title that stands out for its technical section, playability and accessibility, even having a children&s;s mode for the little ones but which is too short."

"Nuclear Blaze is an enjoyable pixel platformer that gets all the basics right but lacks any meaningful depth to keep you engaged. Its vast array of difficulty options can be praised for making it accessible to all, however its incredibly …"
