Critical Chair
A downloadable mod for Windows
Alpha 1.19
This is a Nuclear Throne Mod, so you'll have to own Nuclear Throne to play.
The Eternal Equinox has fallen upon us! Who shall usher us in through these dark times?
None other than the Specter of Torment himself! Specter Knight blasts into Critical Chair, ready to usher all sorts of baddies in towards everlasting darkness.
Specter Knight, as a character, is a culmination of a lot of things we've been striving towards on Critical Chair, and he is easily the most ambitious character so far.
Such is his cursed existence, Specter Knight starts with his Cursed Scythe. It's so massive that it takes up two weapons slots! With it, he can slash, throw it like a boomerang, summon the dead, and teleport to its location wherever it lands…that's a lot of uses for one weapon!!!
He's as big as Big Bandit, faster than the average character, and due to his cursed state, only has 4HP total. One wrong move and that cloak will be sent to tatters in no time flat. On top of that, his Summoning skill sacrifices one HP, so he won't have much to go around!
That isn't to say he's alone of course, Specter Knight's summon skill isn't for nothing! The corpses of his enemies rise to serve him in combat, and when enough of them fill the screen, they more than make up for their cost. The strengths of enemies become his as tides turn in an instant.
But let your guard down for a second and this guy is toast.
Other general bugfixes are applied to this update as well, and we'll hopefully have another coming soon for April first! (fingers crossed!). We're all very happy to bring Specter Knight to life in this game, as he exemplifies the most of what we hope to continue to achieve with this mod. He's still got some kinks to work out, but we welcome you to give him a try!
Happy gaming!
Hotfix build 1.19.1 now available!

unfortunately this mod is unplayable. It messes up my screen resolution in full screen and in windowed mode it is too small to see and I can't change the window size. Also it's kind of slow compared to regular NT and Ultra Mod. I could get used to it if not for the other issues :/
Edit: messes up my screen resolution both in and out of windowed mode.
You can try something like "Borderless Gaming" that is a program that forces borderless fullscreen on other aplications if that helps you.
Is there a chance of porting specter knight to together?
Hmm, perhaps. If there's interest, I'll find some time to make it.
did the entire dev team die
is the thing in the thumbnail from OFF by mortis ghost?
are you still working on this?
No, we are working on other projects at the moment, but we may return to this mod in the future if there is still interest.
ah ok, what other projects are you working on?
I tried to play with gamepad and now I can't play... What should I do? Help ;-; (sorry for my english)
Gamepad support is currently broken. If attempting to connect a gamepad has resulted in the game becoming unresponsive or crashing, deleting your Critical Chair save file should fix the problem. You can access the file in the same location as your vanilla Nuclear Throne save: /AppData/Local/nuclearthrone
Add The Judge?
does it work with ntt?
No, it is a U19 mod; but if there's interest, some parts like weapons and/or characters might be ported to NTT.
i can guarantee there's interest !
can THE BATTER sprites from this be used in some games with OFF characters?(off mods, and random games)
When starting (Critical Chair)...the startup sounds work and I clearly hear the game, but the screen is always black.
There is no firewall intrusion, or windows security intrusion. I own nuclear throne and I even placed Critical Chair inside the local files for nuclear throne. Am I missing something?
Edit: I even attempted compatibility trouble shooting with the DPI scaling through application and through system and still doesnt seem to work properly.
Hey! I downloaded that mod and everything was fine! But now, when i tried to switch controls type to gamepad and... Game restarted and now i cant play it! i pressed every goddamn button and nothing happens! (I'm using XBOX360 gamepad)
Gamepad support is not finished and is not expected to work at this time. If attempting to connect a gamepad has resulted in the game becoming unresponsive or crashing, deleting your Critical Chair save file should fix the problem. You can access the file in the same location as your vanilla Nuclear Throne save: /AppData/Local/nuclearthrone

What I need to do?
It looks like there was unexpected data read in from your save file. Deleting the bad save file should fix the issue. It should be located in the same place as your vanilla Nuclear Throne save file; delete the file called "criticalchair[1.18].sav". Let us know if you continue having any issues.

Annoying bug https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYn0NOPuJw8&feature=youtu.be
I cant open the mod for some reason, my windows blocks it and I can't open it after that. Help would be nice, thanks!
I also tried to download it on the itch.io program thingy, but it won't even download on there.
Is it being blocked from downloading or blocked from running? If it's the former, try one of our mirror links:
mediafire: https://www.mediafire.com/?m1v5w9sdny6tr6h
mega: https://mega.nz/#!pcIR2BxB!HxRtTKS17ETct7G80tgtvTFTre0_63EyqLLnEpVGuOA
Otherwise, it sounds like you may need to turn your firewall off temporarily while downloading.
If you have successfully downloaded the mod and your computer is blocking it from running, you'll probably need to make an exception in your firewall or turn it off while playing.
