What is NIMRODS?

This single-player survival roguelite shooter casts you as an expendable clone testing weapons on an alien world. Each run, you fight alien hordes, collect parts from airdrops to build guns, and explore biomes. Guns from past runs can arm a supporting drone, while DNA modifications affect future clones.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy experimenting with weapon parts during survival runs
  • +you like discovering new enemies and bosses across biomes
  • +you want earlier runs to help you survive later ones

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer a campaign to repeated survival runs
  • −you want steady progress without farming resources
  • −you expect every weapon choice to work equally well
