Nuclear Throne’s Yung Venuz Joins Blood Dungeon

Messhof is at it again with another update for Blood Dungeon, which just so happens to be one of my favorite games of the year.

Patch v2026093002 dropped yesterday, and this one features Yung Venuz from Vlambeer’s Nuclear Throne. Another great title that’s still going strong all these years later. Checks notes. Yeah, it’s been almost 11 years since it was released.

I’ll keep this quick, as a new update means more reasons to jump back in. For those new to the world of Blood Dungeon, this 2D platforming autoshooter is on sale as part of the Steam Autumn Sale, and there’s a demo too!

What are you waiting for?
