Easy to pick up, and hard to put down! Parry Nightmare is a one-of-a-kind "parry heaven" action game where the best offense is a good defense!
Use your nightmare's strength against it with your trusty parry move! Stun foes, send away projectiles, and stop threats right in their tracks by chaining parries!
Honno-chan will defeat any foes you stun automatically. Leave them to her and focus on the defense!
Parrying grants your soul more and more courage to face the night! Heal up by continuing to parry! Spend excess soul to unleash a powerful Burst move to wipe out hordes of enemies at once!
Collect powerups from rare foes to supercharge Honno-chan! Breathe fire, deploy orbital pain, wreak havoc, and more!
Defeated enemies drop light. Collect light and the darkness of the nightmare abates, giving you a clearer view of the chaos. Max out your light meter to beat the nightmare!
Will you be able to escape the nightmare and greet a new day...?
