I got very addicted. Every level goes by quick so there's a 'just one more' mentality, and I'd often crave it when I wasn't playing. I don't like 'roguelites' or 'looter shooters' but this isn't one, really. Dying doesn't matter and you don't keep most of your loot. Just a ton of randomization and impermanence to keep things interesting. It is very ugly, though.

Is "Nightmare Reaper" a good shooter? Yes. Is it a good rougelike? Not really. The best and worst parts about this game are in fact its main selling point: that levels and loot are random for better or worse in ways that equally rule and suck. The problem is for every awesome moment of kismet, there's 2 or 3 other insane design choices I truly don't understand. I would like to see a more linear version of this, maybe as a DLC, or perhaps some curated seeded runs. Pros: - Weapons feel awesome to shoot, enemies are varied and fun to annihilate, the game moves so fast, it's like it fell out of 1996. - An absurd, bonkers arsenal that kicks so much ass. There's some truly hall of famers in here. Looking at you Post Driver and Scrap Launcher. Weapon balance is truly messed up, though. I would like the ability to improve a weapon with more deterministic choices, rather than just a random slot machine. - Lots of level variety, from spooky dungeons to outer space to under da seaaaaaaa. (Not any real cohesion and city levels are bland.) - Tons of upgrades and minigames to play Cons: - Game is extremely punishing and you can die before you even know why. Feels not good sometimes. - Maps needs improvement. Keys, locks, batteries, teleporters, and special mechanics objects need to be highlighted. - This game is long as hell. It's 3 times as long as it needs to be. Only needs 1 level per world, not 3. - Bosses can be some real bullshit. - Levels can be either a cakewalk or a maze. Later levels suffer from sometimes needing special keys to progress or just unlock a secret. This needs to be way more clear. - Random enemy placements, especially in big open arenas, can be a slog.

8/10 Great game, I had a lot of fun with it. The mix of Doom with Mario, Pokemon and what I'm assuming is Asteroids or a different retro space game is awesome! The music is fun, plenty of levels to be played and up until the end I was discovering new weapons and enemies. The game has quite a bit of replayability as I focused solely on the Mario upgrade cartridge over the other 2 that I found. It seems to have different endings and of course running through the game using different weapons. Each level has 3 parts to it and if you die it will change the level. I'm unsure if the changing of the level is randomized or if it rotates through the 3 levels for each part. This game is worth trying out!
