Nightmare Reaper? Or Doom?

Feardemic has returned with yet another horror title – the clue is in the name, people! – yet this time it’s less creeping around stealthily, and more blasting the living daylights out of every monster in sight! Are you ready for Nightmare Reaper?

Releasing today on Xbox, PlayStation and Switch, following a 2022 PC launch, Nightmare Reaper is a fast-paced blend of 90s 2.5D shooters such as DOOM and Quake, combined with the pure addiction that comes from modern roguelites such as Hades and Enter the Gungeon. The outcome? Blood, guts, and a whole lot of explosions! 

You are thrown into the first-person perspective of our hero, who is plunged deep into a nightmare full of creepy monsters, geysers of blood, and the other hallmarks of the scariest night terror you’ve ever had. As you progress through multiple open-ended levels, you’ll slowly gain access to the 80 weapons within the game’s arsenal, each with random enchantments that make each playthrough of Nightmare Reaper feel unique.

Furthermore, your character will be constantly evolving with new abilities and upgrades, unlocked through spending gold collected on runs, and through fun minigames that serve as a distraction from all the mayhem you are causing.

A full list of features Nightmare Reaper has at its disposal includes:

  • That’s progress! – Use the gold you find to purchase tons of character upgrades and new abilities via minigames.
  • Choice Paralysis – Gather 80 unique weapons containing a funky mix of attributes randomized from over 30 enchantment types.
  • Memory Hole – Uncover a non-intrusive but mysterious story.
  • More Than a Nightmare – Explore many game modes, and pick the one you like.
  • Dream Logic – Progress through the nightmarescapes that mix manual and random level generation.
  • Digging Up Memories – Enjoy tons of random events and find all the secrets.

Nightmare Reaper is fast, frantic, and in your face – pick it up now on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Switch and PC. For Xbox players, you can check it out on the Xbox Store for £24.99.

Game Description:

A dark and violent meld of retro and modern action games, inspired by the classic 2.5D first-person shooters of the 90s, with elements of modern looter shooters and roguelites. Intense and addictive gameplay Tons of enemies are crammed in open-ended levels full of surprises, geysers of blood, and treasure. You rise to prevent her doom and duke it out with nightmares to reap salvation in blood.

I'm an avid gamer who will play pretty much anything... but stick an open world or adventure game in front of me and I'm more than happy.
