Неплохой рогалик, здесь есть все классические вещи для жанра, финальный босс, финальный босс№2 и еще пару приколов в конце. Кучу шмоток, которые дают много всяких приколюх и стакаются еще вместе, чтобы давать еще больше приколюх, оружие разнообразное. Из особенностей - оч приятная и не кривая система парирования, прям кайф и 3 оружие в каждом забеге, усиление которых можно стакать и в этом что-то есть. Лучший ли это рогалик ? Нет! Привносит ли он какие-то небывалые фичи в жанр? Нет! Но стоит ли поиграть в него и сформировать свое мнение ? Точно да Я вот поиграл и кайфанул, попробуйте!
Edit: still gonna leave TU, but I gotta say after getting to Nightmare 1 difficulty - things start turning sour. Without spoiling much, the number of enemies and stuff happening on screen increases so much that even in the second level you start getting hit and it just doesn't feel like its your fault - which is incredibly frustrating. Game compensates with generous healing totems and other stuff (enemies deal about 2x damage too), but it becomes nearly impossible to parry everything, since at almost any point in time you'll have 4-5 attacks coming at you all at once. I don't mind difficulty - but I mind being so overwhelmed that it feels like I can't avoid getting hit, and this is Nightmare 1 - the last one is Nightmare 11, so go figure what you're in for. I've managed to get to the 4th level's boss in this difficulty, but the way I had to adjust my playstyle, it just isn't fun anymore. Original: Pretty great roguelike, for some reason it reminds me a lot on Skull: the graphics, the difficulty curve and just the meta-progression are very reminiscing, so if you liked Skull - you'll love Nightmare too. If you haven't played Skull, well - its a typical 2D room-clearing roguelike, albeit with a lot of different mechanics to it and even more buttons. My advice - even if you never use mouse aiming in the game, switch the input scheme to enable the mouse as its far more intuitive and muscle-memory friendly, which will in turn lead to far less frustration in the beginning while you struggle to just memorize which key does what. Big thumbs up, looking forward to more titles like this one!
정말 로그라이크 류, 그 중에서도 핵 앤 슬래시? 2D 횡스크롤 게임은 안 해본 게 없다고 해도 과언이 아닐 정도로 많이 해본 사람입니다. 그 중에서도 '나이트메어 더 루나틱'은 생각보다 재밌게 했다고 봅니다. 약 14시간 정도 플레이 했구. 거의 모든 무기로 다 보통 난이도 클리어했습니다. (예전에는 약간 도전 욕구를 자극한다고, 일부러 난이도 계속 올려가면서 했지만. 이제는 그렇게까지 하고 싶지는 않더라고요.) 처음에는 '무기 스위칭' 시스템에 조금 귀찮음? 같은 게 느껴지기는 했으나. 뭐든 계속하면 익숙해지기 마련이기에. 금방 익숙해지긴 했습니다. 난이도 자체는 사실 모든 방을 다 돌면서 아이템만 잘 맞추면 그리 어려운 편은 아니라고 봅니다. 나름 로그라이크 특유의, 아이템 잘 모았을 때의 뽕맛도 확실히 있고. 정말 재밌었습니다. 리뷰가 허접한 이유는, 제가 평소 이런 리뷰 같은 걸 잘 남기지 않기에 양해부탁드리겠습니다. 그럼에도 리뷰를 남겼던 건, 재밌기도 했고. 아쉬움이 남아서가 아닐까 싶네요. 다음에도 재미난 게임으로 뵐 수 있으면 좋겠습니다. 감사합니다.

absolutely amazing game!
This game should have more of a following it's a really solid game, it's more it's own thing with inspirations from other games in the genre, completed the hardest difficulty IX, anyone who gave this game a negative review did not give this game some time or just hasn't played other games like this or at all. The only thing I feel like that could be better is switching weapons sometimes feels like I can't do it fast enough or parrying especially playing harder difficulty's where the bosses are more "spam-my" but for the most part this is a very very solid game and more people need to know about it, worth every cent, would play again.
Non si capisce nulla, ci sono troppi effetti sullo schermo, e si parte troppo lenti per poi non trovare la arma che ti piace e quindi non potenziarti a sufficienza per i nemici più tosti.
5/10 (6/10 if you're into Skul: The Hero Slayer) Look, I can't review this game on its own merits when there are others out there that are just better in comparison. The gameplay is decent, the story is forgettable the moment it happens, and the item variety is just okay. The set bonuses aren’t game-changing, and the backgrounds and levels aren’t particularly impressive. Everything about this game is average. Unfortunately, a game that’s mediocre at best isn’t going to be life-changing or memorable. If you've played Skul: The Hero Slayer, Astral Ascent, Dead Cells, or Have a Nice Death, those are simply a better bang for your buck. That said, if you’ve already "finished" those games, Nightmare: The Lunatic works as a solid in-between game. It scratches the same itch. It’s familiar, but not groundbreaking. Maybe it’ll click more with you, and you’ll sink in more hours, but for me, it’s just fine.
