Nightmare Reaper out on Switch this week, new trailer

Feardemic and Blazing Bit Games have shared a release date for the Switch version of Nightmare Reaper. The title’s launch is planned for May 18, 2023.

Nightmare Reaper, a retro-inspired first-person shooter, was previously announced last year. It was last on track for an early 2023 debut.

Here’s an overview of the game:

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 roguelites. Tons of enemies are crammed in open-ended levels full of surprises, geysers of blood, and treasure.

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