About the game

Nightmare Reaper is a dark and violent meld of retro and modern action games, inspired by the classic 2.5D first-person shooters of the 90s. Progress through the cursed depths of a nightmare while finding an arsenal of powerful weapons and improving your abilities along the way. This retro-inspired FPS with looter shooter and rogue-lite elements breaches the wall between classic and modern gameplay. Each of the three chapters is 7–10 hours long and is highly replayable.

Key features

  • Intense and addictive gameplay — Tons of enemies are crammed in open-ended levels full of surprises and geysers of blood and treasure.
  • Character progression — Use the gold you find to purchase tons of character upgrades and new abilities via nostalgic minigames.
  • Ludicrous weapon variety — 80 unique weapons (58 in EA) that can drop as loot and can contain a funky mix of over 30 enchantment types.
  • Music and audio by Andrew Hulshult (Doom Eternal) — The badass tunes in Nightmare Reaper add to the retro vibe and are DMCA-free.
  • Non-intrusive story — The mystery of the nightmare adds to the desire to keep playing.
  • Multiple game modes — Campaign, Endless, New Game+, and Challenge modes offer high replayability.
  • A mix of manual and random level generation — Tons of random events and secrets to discover.
