Nightmare Reaper

It's not a bad game, really nice variety of weapons, some interesting mosters and movement that feels smooth. Music is wonderful. The problem for me is that the game suffers from the indie procedural bloat. It's the indie equivalent of what AAA games are doing with open world Ubisoft style games - needless padding. You go through progressively larger, more labyrinth-like levels just to lose all your guns except one, get some money and get some text, or a random door to open. Then you do it again. And again. And again. And then you have the mini-games. I get the idea is to break-up the monotony, but breaking up the monotony with very monotonous types of games of different genres is not good design. It's... you guest it - padding and filler. It results in a game that can be 50 hours of bloat when it could have been 18 hours of razor sharp fun. It's either to make the "I want 10 hours of gameplay per dollar spent" crowd happy or it's a developer that did not have someone to tell them to stop... You choose. In both cases the results is the same - not for me and not for people that actually want something to happen in their game. If you want a mindless experience to just keep you hands moving and worsen you carpel tunnel syndrome, while you listen to a podcast...then go for it. But it's a no for me.

What a sorry ass waste of $4. The most confusingly ugly game I've ever seen. Looks like pixelated vomit. Random levels that are as basic as humanly possible, and they are very tiny. No permanent weapons. You have to choose only one at the end of a "stage" then the rest are automatically sold. Why? There just isn't much going on, and it is a lesson for me to start being way more selective in the games I buy.

the "roguelike" features are just the fact that its randomized and you lose your guns after every level. so that its different. wow. i want to like this game, was really exited to play it but its basically just a doom mod. thats what it feels like at least.

[h3]★★★★-Frenético, brutal, con magnífico soundtrack, gran jugabilidad y alta rejugabilidad, es uno de mis boomer shooter favoritos, pero eso si, solo apto para los fanáticos de los juegos estilo vieja escuela.[/h3] Nightmare Reaper es un juego estilo DooM clásico mezclado con un looter shooter que tiene elementos roguelite sazonado con un ambiente tétrico. La jugabilidad es excelente porque es muy rápida y cuentas con varias habilidades desbloqueables. La campaña tiene buena duración e incentiva muchísimo a rejugarlo por la aletoriedad de las armas y niveles, además ofrece un buen reto y opciones para hacerlo aún más difícil. Tiene modos multijugador pero es totalmente disfrutable para 1 persona. El aspecto gráfico puede ser algo que odies o ames, por una parte adoro el diseño de los enemigos y escenarios, pero en momentos hay tanto caos en pantalla que incluso podrías terminar desorientado. Por otra parte el diseño de las interfaces en su mayoría es feo. Lo peor del juego son los mapas, simplemente son el ejemplo perfecto de cuando la generación al azar llega a ser contraproducente ya que será un hecho de qué muchas veces acabarás perdido. Otro aspecto negativo podrían ser los minijuegos, de inicio son bastante entretenidos pero a la larga unos se vuelven todo un fastidio aunque por fortuna son opcionales.

It's an okay game to grab, do some mindless shooting and then hop off but it takes too long to progress the story in any meaningful way and the formula and level design / gameplay loop barely deviates from what you experience the first 2-3 hours, it ends up feeling like a slog to go through the same looking levels with the same looking enemies using the same guns, the roster of weapons feels really small honestly At the time of this review I have completed 55 levels and the game still feels the same as the first few hours but the difference being that now I'm getting burnt out of doing the same stuff over and over, the minigames are somewhat fun at first but the novelty wears off quickly and becomes unbearable especially the pokemon style mini game made me disable them altogether. Having to choose only 1 weapon to keep at the end of the level feels pretty bad because for some reason even though I have a lot of upgrades to get better chances of higher quality weapons I mostly just get junk that doesn't do much on the later levels so I have to resort to going with the same okayish gun each time. The game simply overstays it's welcome far too long with how little variety there is in the gameplay as you play it but I'd still recommend it since at least it is entertaining to play for a bit

You reap what you sow and I saw what you reaped. This game follows the mental state of my mother before she gave birth to me. But seriously, this is a fantastic roguelite retro shooter with beautiful pixel-art, fun core gameplay loop, ridiculous weapons which are always a positive surprise and sometimes overpowered which is a welcome trait. The music slaps and my only complaint is that some of the later stages seem a little bit unfair and overwhelming. But what I need to mention is that the dev is constantly improving everything, adding new content. I finished the game before he added co-op, so if you have some friends you have to try it 'cause I can already tell it's going to be a bigger blast with a buddy shooting holy bullets from an Uzi while you throw fishsticks at demons and recite the lyrics to Linkin Park's Crawling while doing so. 10/10, would face my demons once again, but sadly I took care of all of them (but my ex-mother in law is out there somewhere... she's the only one still breathing. But it's hard to kill Satan).

Крутой лутер-шутер с ах**** саундреком. Мясо, кровь, кишки и ультранасилие, всё как мы любим. Рекомендую. 10 золотых девастаторов из 10.

Outstanding DOOM-like with tons of weapons and variety in its procedural generation. Great for short runs and long hauls alike. Lots of lore to dig into after every level, and enjoyable minigames to unlock upgrades. Fair difficulty that rewards patience and precision. Runs super well. Awesome time overall.
