## About NIMRODS

NIMRODS is a 2024 action roguelite from Fiveamp where players act as a test subject for a gun manufacturer, scavenging alien planets for weapon components. The core loop centers on procedural dungeon-crawling combined with bullet-hell combat, requiring players to weave through dense projectile patterns while experimenting with weapon synergy to build increasingly elaborate firearms. Meta-progression systems persist between runs, allowing accumulated knowledge and upgrades to carry forward. The game emphasizes tactical positioning, and players describe the experience as challenging and stressful. It is verified on Steam Deck and currently holds an 87% positive rating from 1,241 Steam reviews, priced at $9.99 USD.
