Preamble -- Hey guys! Thanks for the recent subscribers, we really appreciate all the support! I would like to personally say it means a lot, and while I know the content is at it's most basic in it's current state, there will be lots of fun stuff in the future, and you'll get to meet the team behind Hands-Off when we make our podcasts, reviews and such. But for now, we're quietly creating a channel dedicated to covering indie titles to give them some shine while we spend more time creating a strategy to bring the best content to you.

Overview: Nightmare Reaper is a game I haven't actually been able to keep my Hands-Off of lately (haha pun), it's got a great gameplay flow mixed with cool aesthetics that keep me coming back. It's parts Doom, Quake, and Borderlands in it's most basic appeal, and that gameplay mixture really concocts into something special. In this video, we're knee deep into Disavowed Town, a stage that appears around 4 hours into the game in it's current build. I try to use a lot of weapons and show them off, as well as just generally play to the best of my ability.

Part of what makes Nightmare Reaper special is the fact that each level is randomly generated, making every play-through unique. The fact that levels that feel this good and this hand-crafted can be generated without human input is pretty astounding and a testament to the generation system created in the game. Levels feel tense with lots of rooms feeling like they are teeming with well thought out enemy placements and power-ups. It's a very stellar experience when you really understand the scope of the game and it being developed by a single person.

I actually didn't know what was going to happen in these levels, and I was pretty surprised by happy to see I captured a boss fight that went down to the wire. Only having 1 HP and beating that boss is the kind of emergent gameplay that makes having this channel feel worth it, the tenseness I felt just wanting to finish it for a good video haha. I've been having a lot of fun with the game though, I hope you'll check it out!
