  1. Ultimately Nightmare Reaper's a fun retro-styled FPS with a couple of rogue-lite elements to introduce some loot-fuelled pizazz to bloody proceedings. While it lack of full commitment to the rogue-lite reward loop knocks it a touch - you're still in for a treat. The game's sheer volume of randomised weaponry and twisty levels make it worth picking up for retro FPS veterans or newbies alike.

    Peak Singleplayer looter shooter. Excellent story and insane amount of content. One of the best indie games out there.

    Just awesome. One of my favorite shooters of the past decade. Very old school as for it's core shooter mechanics with of twist of RNGJust awesome. One of my favorite shooters of the past decade. Very old school as for it's core shooter mechanics with of twist of RNG diablo-esque looting. The leveling tree is also very unique, requiring various mini-game campaigns mirroring actual games. Such as Mario, Galaga, and even Pokemon! With as long as this game is, I cannot recommend it enough. If you are a fan of old school shooters with a twist, this is definitely for you. 10/10 would play over and over again. Full Review »
