The gameplay of Nuclear Gladiators is characterized by its engaging presentation and polished mechanics, reminiscent of classic titles like Smash TV and The Running Man. While it offers solid survivors-like gameplay with unique elements such as a shopping phase and a spin-to-win mechanic, it lacks variety in enemy types and stage dynamics. Overall, it provides a satisfying experience for fans of the bullet-heaven genre, though it could benefit from further refinement and innovation.
- “It had me at the Smash TV, running man, Troma nuclear-soaked presentation; it kept me with the solid Survivors-like gameplay, which I love.”
- “I enjoy playing this game; it adds a couple of different gameplay elements to the genre, like the wheel spinning for buffs between rounds and unlocking sponsors.”
- “Amazing graphics, smooth gameplay, and has a running man feel.”
- “After 3 minutes, you have a 'commercial break' where you can buy upgrades for your current run, heal, or optionally waste tickets on something of a lackluster 'spin and win' bonus mechanic.”
- “It could do with more varied enemy and stage mechanics, and probably the option to have projectiles become transparent once they reach a certain size/intensity, but otherwise it is a very solid add to your bullet-heaven collection for the price.”
- “This is too bad as the game has some neat mechanics and could be a lot better if it just worked correctly.”

The game's humor is characterized by a tongue-in-cheek techno-dystopian vibe reminiscent of classic titles like Smash TV, providing a mix of delight and chaos. However, the overwhelming screen-wide devastation can detract from the comedic experience, making it difficult for players to focus on anything else.
- “This gives me all of the Smash TV vibes I could ever want, and goes beyond with its delightfully tongue-in-cheek techno-dystopic humor.”
- “Although it is pretty funny to see the screen-wide devastation, it also becomes a problem because you literally can't see anything else on the screen.”
replayability

- “However, it's still an entertaining game with good presentation; just don't expect it to have the replayability of popular games in this genre.”
