Feardemic has teamed with Super Rare Games to bring a physical version of Blazing Bit Games’ Nightmare Reaper to the Nintendo Switch. Already available digitally, the physical version of Nightmare Reaper will be available for ordering on April 11 at 6pm GMT (10am PST/1pm EST) via the Super Rare Games webstore.

As you might expect, this limited physical release is indeed rare. Only 3000 copies will be made, so you’ll have to act fast next Thursday.

What do you get for your $45 USD? Along with having the throwback FPS on a physical cartridge, you also get reversible cover art for the case, interior artwork, a full-colour manual, an exclusive sticker, and a set of three trading cards. If you’re a sucker for cards, you can also get a booster pack (which itself is limited to 800).

Sporting an impressive array of 80 unique weapons and a crunching soundtrack by Andrew Hulshult, Nightmare Reaper is 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. Use said treasure to purchase tons of character upgrades and new abilities via minigames.

In addition to the Switch, Nightmare Reaper is also available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series. Check out our review for a refresher.

Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.

With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.

The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.

In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.

More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
