First launched in 2021, indie shooter Nightmare Reaper lastly left Early Entry this 12 months, and that’s once I lastly performed it. And boy oh boy, am I completely happy I stumbled upon this under-the-radar FPS! Nightmare Reaper would possibly look lots like different, related retro-inspired shooters—just like the beforehand talked about Cultic—which have turn into extra widespread lately, however it’s a lot greater than that. It’s a roguelike with sensible degree development, superior music, and a whole lot of highly effective and zany weapons like whips and spell books. It’s a bizarre recreation, too. However in a great way. For instance, to enhance your character’s stats you play via completely different, elaborate Sport Boy-like mini-games. It’s bizarre, it’s generally creepy, and it’s solely $25 on Steam. Go play Nightmare Reaper! — Zack Zwiezen
