NIMRODS - Demo
Wishlist NIMRODS on Steam!
In a vast, inhospitable alien world, you are the expendable. Cloned from DNA for a single purpose: to test the most devastating, over-the-top, and downright absurd weaponry known to the galaxy. Welcome to NIMRODS, the ultimate survival roguelite shooter where the guns you craft are the legacy you leave.
Beyond Survival
Experience the innovative roguelite where your previous gun builds aren't just memories—they're your backup! Deploy guns crafted from past runs in drones to assist the next grunt. Every run is a story, but each gun is a heroic saga.
Boundless Exploration
Embark on a journey through diverse alien biomes, each meticulously molded by a distinct set of enemies and bosses. Every corner is teeming with specialized encounters and valuable resources to discover.
Assemble the Unthinkable
Break the game with your creativity. Collect insane weapon parts from airdrops and craft combinations so powerful, so bizarre, they have to be seen to be believed. Create your dream weapon, or a nightmarish contraption that defies all laws of physics and common sense.
Bio-Engineer your Evolution
Delve into unique progression systems where DNA modifications can evolve your future clones. Tailor your abilities and your drone's AI to complement your playstyle, and optimize your upgrade drops for pivotal enhancements.
Guns Over Glory
As the corporate overlords watch from above, you're constantly faced with hordes of relentless aliens. Complete insane missions, stack bodies, and remember: you probably won’t make it, but your guns definitely will.

Great game, I finally beat it, sort of, and cant wait for the whole game to realese!
This has come such a long ways! I think I'm realizing I just really don't like the upgrade research system though. The presentation makes it very annoying to sort through to see if I have the required resources for something, let alone compare my choices. I guess just highlighting or sorting by what you can afford would solve most of the problem.
Purely needing to grind by searching for spawns is also pretty boring tbh, I think there could be something more interesting
How does one complete a run?
Survive for 30 minutes or kill the final boss that spawns around 25 minutes.
I might like this game if it had auto-targeting and autofire so I don't have to aim with one hand and move with the other. It's tedious for a game that's a simple, overhead shooter with so many simple enemies. This isn't a first-person shooter where I'm doing a lot of aiming.
Check the options menu, there is auto-aim & auto-fire!
It does have auto fire and auto aim you just have to go to settings
Thanks guys! I will check that out. It would make an enormous difference!
Found the settings! This should do nicely!
I have unlocked the homing thingy, but how do I actually get it onto my gun, like what upgrades do I need to use it??
Could so mighty a hunter be also so foolish?
Well. I can!
:) first run compleated
i gain one upgrade at level one and my ammo storage becomes 74
This isn't even my best run
died cause game lagged so hard with me shooting 41 bullets in a ring shape that exploded and left napalm
i had these splitting piercing homing missiles
ohh i see what you mean (my bullets didnt shoot napalm but the sub-bullets from splitting stock got spawnkilled and immediately exploded)
can you guys please make the apples and medkits heal more they barely do anything and make the jumping jelly enemies outrunable
I believe there are certain upgrades that raise the level of heals
I have once again lost ALL my progress and this time I didn't even clear my history which is how it happened last time. There needs to be something set up with servers where the progress goes cause no way in hell am I doing this shit all over again.
I'm just getting a white screen... reset my browser multiple times.
me too
Cant find the sniper rifle where is it
You have to beat the final boss without missing a bunch of shots. Just pick the hellfire barrel and light weight grip. 100% accuracy.
Or you could put on auto aim + auto fire and survive for 30 mins
That's what I do. I play with track pad.
funneh gun
I'm about an hour in and I already found an infinite money glitch
I have played this ever since I have played on ITCH.IO, and it is G.O.A.T! when is the next update?
made an account to share this, but if you are playing on a low spec device, (i only get like 2 fps MAX) you can kind of just phase through enemies. its less effective against groups, but still funny.
died right as i got an upgrade. This caused my character to freeze on return to ship and i couldnt put away the gun which was deleted when i had to reload
I played this game before the major update last year, and it's still just as fun. I've been playing it to get me through this school year, and it's served well. It has cured my boredom, 10/10 would recommend
I wh-
just-
what?
The bug is caused by using the Skullspike(?) grip's flee, which will enable the training dummies to fly out of existence. they seem to flee even further if they're slowed, for some reason. You can also use this to bully the Roomba even further.
Are you supposed to be able to get a mission complete without killing the boss, or is this a bug?
Happened to me as well I guess just run around for 30 minutes
There should be an export/import feature so saves can be loaded on different PCs.
What build can I use to absolutely push my school computer to the pure limit?
duplicated fast shooting rocket launcher.
This will do nicely. Hopefully it's enough to make the game unplayable on my end.
Rocket Launcher + Fragment + Helix + Napalm Jet is really rough on my system. Bonus points if you put that onto the drone and pile on...
Oh, if you pick Swarm missile instead of rocket launcher is just insane...
As I've seen. One of my builds absolutely lagged the hell out of this laptop which led me to giving up my best run, still hasn't crashed the game though.
Unplayable
It's so worth it though.
When is the content from the last 3 blogs released?
Is the stuff from the Steam Next Fest Trailer WIP or released?
8:05 1437 enemies killed
where are the new updates?
September 12, 2024.
the game doesnt save ): if i reload tab it resets me pls make it save or fix
How do I get back here???
I cannot seem to find it!
You go down and to the right, if you need to look at the map, press the ESC key
Down where?
Theres a way to get out if you go from the right of the door and down whilst also going right. Basically just keep going down and you'll get out of it.
Can you also make a video of you doing it?
I think the one in the photo is the one at the top, not the one in the middle if ur talking about the middle of the map door
why are the augments that i researched not showing up in game. is this hapening to any other people?
They are upgrades to existing augments, such as the Devastator Mag being an upgrade to the Exploding and Incendiary Mag.
... my guns got .... stuck... :(
they just... clipped out of bounds...
Does anyone know how to access the two secret areas? The one at the bottom of the map in Chaos Grove and the one in the small, mine filled area in Hive Barens.
I just got that tonight and I got sharpshooter in the same run!
How do you get a mission complete!?
survive 30 minutes or kill the final boss in hive barrens or chaos grove
Technically, I would say that would be a mission complete, but not mission accomplished.
used hydra mini rockets with lots of geomass and size enhancers, and used split mag plus damage and crashed. I literally couldn't see
What defines accuracy in this game? I cannot, for the life of me, get the sharpshooter mission completion.
Did you complete the mission? Once you kill the big boss the game will say Mission Complete. I chose a homing sight (I think) that redirected all my shots to a target. I just got sharpshooter mission tonight.
Bullet spread
Not sure why, but often times pressing l-shift doesn't show more info
it's because some enhancements don't have second levels
Oh, duh. That makes sense.
Thanks for clearing that up.
May I have your attention please.
I would like to present to you, my magnum opus:
The Destroyer of Gods
The Fallen Star
The Flame Of Lucifer
Cinis Inferni
Could you add a popup symbol or filter view on the different shop menu's so we can see when we can afford something?
Also the scroll sensitivity in those menu's is insane with trackpad, can that be lowered??
I would like to introduce you all to 'Collateral Damage'
As well as 'Crowd Control'
They are both very pleased to make your acquaintance.
Can we have the ability to name our weapons in the hub?
I have some *ahem* fun weapons I would like to name
Also it's strange not being able to see the cursor when you're not holding a weapon. Could you change that?
