NIMRODS · public · first seen
Hey NIMRODS! Endless Bloom is out and it's the biggest update to NIMRODS yet. TL;DR: Endless Mode, a new biome (Violet Forest), a new playable NIMROD (Bubba), two new guns, every Augment reworked, rebuilt Genes, new Field Perks, Missions reworked, Steam leaderboards, save slots and rebindable keys (yes, finally). NIMRODS is also 35% off until November 4, the last sale before the base price goes up. Check out the full patch notes here: fiveamp.com/nimrods/endlessbloom
Endless Mode - Defeat the final boss, then end your run or keep fighting with the same build. Enemy waves keep scaling. New enemies: Bonewalkers, Cinderskulls and Duskwraiths, plus Ossuary encounters. Tell us how long you last.
Violet Forest - A fungal biome with new bosses (Puff Puff, Big Sal, Sporocling and King Gloopar III) and a new final boss, Mush. Puffballs heal, Bouncy Shrooms deflect projectiles, and some mushrooms explode.
Bubba - New playable NIMROD. Health pickups at full Health raise his Max Health. Corn Fed grants bonus Health and size until the bonus Health runs out.
Banana Gun and Ricochet Gun - Bananas that pause at max range, then return and can hit enemies again. A sawblade that bounces to new targets.
Every Augment, reworked - Every Augment has been reworked, tweaked or polished. The full list would take a page of its own, so we'll leave the discoveries to you.
Field Perks - Spend Coins on permanent Rerolls, Banish, XP Gain and Remove Level Cap.
Genes, rebuilt - Focused Gene slots per character and 21 Genes to unlock and upgrade. The Gene shop and Recombinator are gone.
Gundex and Medals - The Gunporium is now the Gundex, with five-tier Medals for Characters, Guns, Augments, Tunings, Trophies and Pods.
Steam Leaderboards - Weekly Global and all-time Friends kill leaderboards. A new weekly board starts every Monday (UTC).
Steam Achievements - Brand-new Steam achievements are added with more to come in future updates!
Quality of life - Four save slots, keyboard, mouse and gamepad rebinding, Mouse Only Mode, a controller cursor, an expanded minimap, a kill counter and gun renaming.
Performance - Major performance improvements across the game.
If you picked up NIMRODS during Early Access, you got the best deal there is: the Early Access price, plus every update since, including this one, for free. You also helped shape almost everything in it. Endless Mode, save slots, rebindable keys and the Gundex all exist because you asked for them.
To celebrate Endless Bloom, NIMRODS is 35% off until Wednesday, November 4 at 10 AM PT. It won't be this low again during Early Access. When the sale ends, the base price goes up to $12.99 USD to reflect how much the game has grown. Prices in other regions are based on Steam's recommended regional pricing. We said we'd give you plenty of notice, so here it is. If you already own NIMRODS, nothing changes for you. Endless Bloom adds a Friends leaderboard, and it needs rivals. If you know someone who'd like NIMRODS, gift it to them on Steam before November 4, then beat their kill count.
1.0 arrives in early 2027, free for everyone who owns NIMRODS. We've planned out the remaining content leading up to 1.0, and with the rework we've been making to the game, we've really hit our stride. We're in a much better position to build, iterate and get updates out faster as we work toward release. There's still plenty more to come, and we'll share more details about what's next soon.
Thanks to everyone who played the open beta, filed bug reports, broke builds and argued balance with us on Discord. A lot of this update was shaped by you, and many of your names are in the updated credits. If you're enjoying Endless Bloom, a Steam review goes a long way in helping new players find NIMRODS. ❤️ Thank you all so much for the overwhelming support.
