'Nightmare Reaper' To Get Free New Game + And Co-Op Multiplayer Update In March - Trailer

by Rainier on Feb. 25, 2026 @ 7:00 a.m. PST

Nightmare Reaper is a dark and violent meld of retro and modern action games, inspired by the classic 2.5D first person shooters of the 90s, with elements of modern looter shooters and rogue-lites.

Progress through the cursed depths of a nightmare while finding an arsenal of powerful weapons and improving your abilities along the way.

This retro-inspired FPS with looter shooter and rogue-lite elements breaches the wall between classic and modern gameplay.

You rise to prevent her doom
and duke it out with nightmares
to reap salvation in blood.
