Blazing Bit Games aren’t quite done with their 2022 retro-inspired FPS Nightmare Reaper, having announced the Open Beta for the game’s cooperative multiplayer mode. Currently on now until “an undisclosed period of time”, the Open Beta allows for players and their friends to dive into the game to rip, tear, and reap together.
During this time, players will be able to not only play through the entire Nightmare Reaper experience with up-to-4 of their friends, but will also take part in community events such as stress tests to push the co-op multiplayer to its limits. There’s also expected bug hunting aspect, where players are encouraged to report issues and send crash logs to help polish the build. While it isn’t enforced, every report helps to make the game stronger before the mode is ready for the public.
To get in on the Open Beta, all you’ll need is a copy of the game. From there, join the official Discord, then request Beta access directly in the Discord.
In case you need a refresher, Nightmare Reaper (check out our review of the Steam version) is a 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. The game puts you in the depths of a nightmare of your own making. In order to find your way out, you’ll have to use your arsenal to blow away demons.
Tons of enemies are crammed in open-ended levels full of random events and secrets, not to mention geysers of blood and treasure. You can use said treasure to purchase character upgrades and new abilities via minigames.
In addition to being available on Steam, Nightmare Reaper is also available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.
