Nuclear Outrun – Action Game Review
Nuclear Outrun is a Action/Racing game from Gamenauts, first launched in 18th July 2013.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 527+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Nuclear Outrun Stand Out
Truck vs Nuclear Missile – who will SURVIVE?!
"Loud, violent, and packed with nonstop action" – Gamezebo
"There’s a lot to like about Nuclear Outrun"- Modojo
Through some unforeseen (yet totally avoidable) world crisis, a nuclear missile is crashing down to ruin everyone's party. Drive & shoot your way out of a zombie-infested city as far as you can, before everything goes kaboom!
Collect survivors such as Pirates, Mimes, and Hipsters, each with their own special abilities. Mow down zombies with wacky weapons such as the Shark Gun, Fart Bazooka, and the Twitgun that shoots out #hashtag spewing birds.
When all else fails, launch Weapons of Mass Destruction like George the cyborg T-Rex!
Gamenauts proudly presents the enhanced remake of Nerdook's 2012 Flash hit NUCLEAR OUTRUN – certifiably the most insane apocalyptic shooting game ever made.
LOL-worthy Weapons!
Shark Gun – shoots out bloody sharks as missiles.
Teddy Bearzooka – launches cuddly toys of terror.
Book of Rapture – summons an angelic avenger.
Squid Launcher – launches squids, nuff said.

Survivor Reviews
Eugene the Lawyer:
"The sight of George the T-Rex chomping down on zombie gibblets brought a smile to my radiation-laced face."
Jo-Anne the Cheerleader:
"This end of the world stuff is totally better than cupcakes – I get to shoot squids out of a gun!"
Francois the Mime:
"……..!" (Somebody get this zombie off my beret!)

Community Insight:
This game needs an update asap for the new iOS.
Update game please. It is a very fun game and it wont let us play it if it doesnt update.
This is great, funny cartoonish landscape and characters, we don't understand how to play yet, but we hope we learn. Spectacular graphics, funny noises, easy to control but what to shoot? Recommended.
We love your game thanks for making this game :) your game rules man download another cooooooooool game$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ you are lackey.
The app needs an update to even run anymore. Please and thanks. This game rules.
Please Update Agian we want to go to more locations and get new vehicles and more.
This is the funeral for our beloved nuclear outrun a few words u were beautiful and had so much potential but due to laziness u are gone we shall never forget u may u rest in peace amen.
The game is good but needs an UPDATE.
Awesome skins and guns and cars.
We love this game it's so fun but the vehicles cost too much.
We love it it is fun to play when you have some spare time.
We were told we would get free things for tapping a star. Simple enough.
Great game but when will an update come out.
By one of the best we've ever played.
This is an awesome game but they should really add the new map features.
Such a great game but needs more content. Not very satisfying doing the same thing over and over again. Read previous player's comments.
Very addicting and constantly wanting to get further and further in the game.
This game is fun but we think the teddy bear of doom thing should cost less but this game is AWESOME.
It is really fun and we wish there was a second one.
This game is beast mode and if u don't think so then yr crazy.
Awesome Game ! But just make it easier to get the characters. And maybe lower the price on a few things like the ambulance because it's a lot of coins. This deserves a clear thumb.
This game is awesome we play it all the time. We love playing nerdooks games even on the game websites. We've been waiting for an update on this game to add more maps and more characters and maybe a fix on the prices or gold acquisition. Either way this game is great. It takes all the boredom out of our bus rides.
Could use a a few update maybe like ramps or stunts unlock a zombie character if there isn't one new weapons or you can run.
This game is cool with a good squid gun but need a big uptade.
The 30 second time limit is so OP us 30 second time limit.
Very addicting and the coins are worth the money.
Good game hope it gets a big update.
This game is so fun you never get tired of killing zombies do you? If you so playing this game you won't get tired of killing zombies.
Hurry up and update It you butt Afros.
It was a fun game but it got boring for two reasons 1.in the game it was hard to get money and everything was expensive .2.it said it will update for more cool guns and stuff but it never did. And that's why it got boring we mean we still play it its a fun game but it needs a update.
This game is the best zombie killing game.
Fun… Mindless… (Ba-da-chhhh!).
OMG SO ADDICTING we WANNA GET THE FRICTION HAND OF MIDAS IM NOT GONNA FIX THE FRICTION IT WAS FREAKIN AUTOCORREST.
We love the game but for some of us that have played for a long time have everything so it be great if we got some new guns, people, places, cars, some upgrades on the cars, and more ammo for the guns then it be killer.
Good game to pass time and stuff but no otter worlds.
U souls get it. U will be impress how good the game is. Try it out and u will see for yourself!:).
This game is really cool and awsome.NUCLEAR OUTRUN.
Could make more stuff but still awesome.
