Nuclear Golf goes well Nuclear

Touchfight Games will launch Nuclear Golf, a 2D arcade-style golf game on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita later this summer, according to a PlayStation blog.

"Creating Nuclear Golf has been an exercise in layering increasingly thick coats of ridiculousness onto a fun, trajectory-based arcade golfing experience," the developer wrote. "If you chip away the weirdness and get to its core, this game is all about skill, crazy trick shots, and trying not to melt into a pool of gory, irradiated goo before you beat the boss at the end of each course. Okay, yeah, so that’s still pretty weird. Sorry."

Nuclear Golf introduces other twists on the game's classic formula. In addition to boss fights, players are in a race against their radiation gauge, which gradually fills as they work to complete holes. That makes courses as much a matter of haste and speed as it does accuracy and planning.

Nuclear Golf's developers also advise you to prepare to die. "Death is inevitable on your first few attempts, but one of the things we love about watching people play is seeing their skills improve with each run. Landing insane trick shots using the arsenal of crazy balls we’ve concocted is super satisfying, too. Just watch out for the buzz saws, crushers, and spikes."

You can also upgrade your golf balls with new abilities. Balls gain experience as you use them, gaining abilities such as boost for a blast of momentum mid-flight, backspin to manipulate gravity, and more.

Nuclear Golf will launch on PS4 and Vita in the next few months.
