First launched in 2021, indie shooter Nightmare Reaper lastly left Early Entry this 12 months, and that’s after I lastly performed it. And boy oh boy, am I comfortable I stumbled upon this under-the-radar FPS! Nightmare Reaper would possibly look so much like different, related retro-inspired shooters—just like the beforehand talked about Cultic—which have grow to be extra widespread lately, nevertheless 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 sport, too. However in a great way. For instance, to enhance your character’s stats you play via totally different, elaborate Sport Boy-like mini-games. It’s bizarre, it’s typically creepy, and it’s solely $25 on Steam. Go play Nightmare Reaper! — Zack Zwiezen
