Our take on Nux

The defining structure is its combination of three play contexts: blaster combat, spacecraft travel, and exploration on foot across a four-planet mission.

What is Nux?

Nux follows the last survivor of the Nexon warrior tribe on a mission across the galaxy.

The invader Silthax has destroyed the hero’s home, consumed the other Nexons, and taken the village’s sacred power crystals. Nux must pursue Silthax, recover the crystals, and confront the damage caused to the home world. Gameplay combines shooting, spacecraft flight, and exploration on foot. The campaign spans four planets and 13 levels, with three game modes. The presentation uses claymation-style graphics, while the blaster and ship serve as the main tools for the journey.

How Nux plays

01Three game modes: The game offers three distinct ways to play.
02Mixed movement gameplay: Progress includes combat with a blaster, piloting a ship, and traveling on foot.
03Four-planet campaign: The mission is spread across four planets and 13 levels.
04Claymation presentation: Visuals use a claymation-based style.
