Ah, Nightmare Reaper, a game I can finally put to rest. Love this one. I've booted it up countless time between getting it years ago and now. Steam says I have about 100 hours in it after doing this playthrough. It doesn't sound like a lot, but for me 100 hours is a lot for me. I've had relationships that lasted less time. 

Been a long time coming and this was one of those videos I was super excited to make while I was playing the game because it provided so much to talk about for a video. The whole thing worked out and gave me setups, payoffs, drama, thrills, an opportunity to get Gianni AGAIN, sewer counts, nuke counts, clips of me eating shit against ridiculous odds, triumphing, cheesing, all practically gift wrapped for me. Just an absolute delight to make this one. I hope you all enjoy it. I don't know what's next exactly, but I was thinking of doing a bit of Doom. No Rest For The Living. Not TNT, never TNT, I will die before I try to wring entertainment out of that damp sponge of a WAD again.

Always wanted to play this, but the optimization is... Pretty bad. Especially for a game with pixel graphics.

I love this game so much, got it thanks to you Civvie! Looking forward to the full launch on Monday for sure. I was a bit skeptical at first since one thing I love about the classics is how the best levels have attention to detail and puzzles that procedural generation just can't match, but Nightmare Reaper pulls it off and has solid shooting to boot.

How about covering Ashes? (The GZDoom project) I'd have thought that series would be right up your street. :)

Zambri

This came out within 5 minutes of a Well There's Your Problem bonus episode. Good day tbh

I actually just picked this up last night and accidentally ended up awake until 2am lmao. Fantastic game, almost seems like there's no end to the fun. Thanks again, Civvie! Also that "Wring entertainment from that damp sponge of a WAD" got me.

2026-09-12 04:00 I want to like this game based on the premise and visuals, but I DESPISE RNG stuff in games and I do not think I'll enjoy it at all. Its nice to see it showcased by you though, and I hope he devs do well with it.

"how does one burst fire a fucking nuke?" see: fo3's Experimental MIRV

oh my god, blake stone reference 😂

Looking forward to this one! As to what's next, I'd love to see you do Cybermage, the Origin FPS that everyone just kind of shrugged their shoulders at and said, "eh, that's fine, I guess." I did QA on it and it was... an interesting development process on that one, if you ever do decide to do it and want some background info.

One of the rare games I disagree on Civvie about, the bad "boss" battles, the level gen and too many levels that made Doom 3 look well-lit just killed it for me. Which made me sad, because when the level gen got off its ass, spawned good guns and you were in one of the biomes that didn't look like you were exploring the inside of something's rectum, it was a solid play.

It blows my mind that this is running inside UE4. Games nowadays lack so much creativity, this one fills up on it. I'd rather have more BS technics and better design and imagination than omg UE5 graphics and boxed in gameplay. That proves it, I'm a John Romero loving boomer.

Continuity error? At 11:27 it shows Sewer Count 199, and then at 11:57 Sewer Count is still at 199.

Thanks for the review Civvie, Nightmare Reaper was fun to work on and Itburn's a pretty cool dude.

November Delta

Go figure a Civvie video is where I find out John William Galt has passed. That's such a shame. Still a fantastic video. You really know how to put together an entertaining time.

Silentphil9

I can't play this. There's just too much, everything flying around on screen. It's hurting my eyes. The Fortress of Dr. Radiaki has a similar effect on me, but for a different reason. Does anyone else know I mean?

MangleMan25

My guess about the "Blake Rock" weapon is that it's a reference to Blake Stone? The weapon itself looks like the laser pistol in that game.

Medium Black Duke

This might actually make me play a rouge like/lite game. Oh and Civvie please do a video on Beyond Sunset. It looks so damn good and the demo is nice and meaty.

Denny Giesbrecht

Great video Civvie! Not sure if you've answered this somewhere - but are you interested in ever making a Commander Keen video? Just curious...

civvie11

I’ve thought about it. I’m more familiar with the second trilogy than the first because that’s the one I grew up playing.

Ilia Loukine

Finally joined Patreon just for you Civvie. Wish I could could have done it earlier, but money has been tight. But at least now I can say, Doom explosions are square you fucking hack. Also love your videos. Still waiting on that onlyFans. Or is that a different timeline?

NerdyOgre254

Joined the patreon after the poking about the Sewer Count - figured it was well past due since Civvie is on 99.99% of the time in the background outside of work. Did anyone else notice the riff from Them Bones by Alice in Chains at about 10:45?

June Hardwick

You got me. Your little bit about the extra video worked, and made me feel shitty about having not supported your patreon yet. That said, take my money, thanks for renewing my love for the art of FPS and the great content. Now get back to work ❤️

NerdyOgre254

I picked this up and I ended up getting and absolutely bonkers gun - the Machine Gun, modelled after the M60, I think? But with Random Projectile, and it took the ammunition from the Post Driver, so it's a machine gun shooting metal bollards. Fuck I love this game.

This game is frigging awesome! Ive put in around 350 hours in the past few weeks. Ive had some really crazy broken weapons, but my current smartgun is nuts! 6 X damage,+2 attacks, 40 %leech, %40 percent faster fire rate. It just obliterates everything!
