Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It took me a little over 13 hours to complete, so there's a plethora of content already for you to get your hands on, not to mention the replayability.
90 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The story is still surprisingly interesting, if incredibly vague, and the gameplay is fun as ever.

Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
Nightmare Reaper is the second roguelite FPS I have played this year, the first being the much earlier, simpler, but more polished Immortal Redneck.

The sound design, Metal soundtrack and the minigames chiptunes deserve an award.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
+You can turn off basically EVERY UPGRADE in the game menu, and while I think the game is just base too bright, there's options for THAT too!
