Necro Nancy - Nightmare Mode (NES)
About the Game
Necro Nancy – Nightmare Mode Demo is a fast-paced 8-bit vertical shooter for the NES. Play as Nancy, a witch who fights against waves of monsters from cursed portals. Blast through hordes of ghosts, skulls, pumpkins, and eyes as you fight to claim the highest score!
Built from the ground up for real NES hardware, Necro Nancy combines classic arcade challenge, tight controls, and retro horror atmosphere.
This special Nightmare Mode serves as a standalone demo for the full game currently live on Kickstarter. The full game features multiple themed stages, unique environments, deadlier weapon power-ups, boss battles, and expanded gameplay (such as portals which must be destroyed to progress). Nightmare Mode is simply an endless survival version, a never-ending demo of monsters and mayhem designed to test your reflexes and endurance.

Nice shooter that's somewhat reminiscent of the classic "Space Invaders". Best of luck with funding the game! Our German-language preview can be found at 08:20:57. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
Thank you so much for covering the game! I’ve got a few German backers who will really appreciate the preview, so I’ll be sure to share it with them. Thanks again for taking the time to do the video, really means a lot! Much more content and polish in the full game.
