Despite Parry Nightmare’s short runtime, it makes the most of every action-packed second by flawlessly combining addictive, high-tempo, parry-based combat and attention-grabbing visual storytelling baked directly into the enemies’ sprite art and level design.
While the concept of Parry Nightmare is novel and fun when things are going well, it can also be very irritating. Combining the massive challenge with a UI that isn’t cleaner and more precise, it makes this game hard to recommend to everyone. But if you’re willing to take a shot on something unique, you really can’t go wrong, especially at the game’s incredibly low price point.
There’s certainly no shortage of Vampire Survivors clones on Steam. But Parry Nightmare provides distinction by not letting you fight enemies directly. Instead, a well-timed deflection stuns foes, allowing a secondary character to defeat them. Sure, it’s a marginal innovation. But given the game’s modest price and the wonderfully jazzy soundtrack, the concise campaign can offer enjoyment if you aren’t burnt out on the genre.
