First launched in 2021, indie shooter Nightmare Reaper lastly left Early Entry this yr, and that’s once I lastly performed it. And boy oh boy, am I blissful I stumbled upon this under-the-radar FPS! Nightmare Reaper would possibly look lots like different, comparable retro-inspired shooters—just like the beforehand talked about Cultic—which have turn into extra widespread in recent times, but it surely’s a lot greater than that. It’s a roguelike with good degree development, superior music, and a whole bunch of highly effective and zany weapons like whips and spell books. It’s a bizarre sport, too. However in a great way. For instance, to enhance your character’s stats you play by way of totally different, elaborate Recreation Boy-like mini-games. It’s bizarre, it’s typically creepy, and it’s solely $25 on Steam. Go play Nightmare Reaper! — Zack Zwiezen
