Nightmare: The Lunatic is another solid entry in the roguelite space. Energetic, replayable, and consistently fun. Yes, the genre is packed. Yes, you’ve probably seen elements of this before. But the three-weapon system, the snappy combat, and the surprisingly friendly parry mechanic give it its own identity. If you’re already tired of roguelites, this won’t convert you. But if you still enjoy the adventure-style structure and want something punchy and satisfying to close out the year, Nightmare: The Lunatic absolutely earns a thumbs-up from me

Experimenting with Nightmare: The Lunatic's weapons, builds, and options make it one supremely enjoyable and customisable action game. 🗡️
