Doug's Nightmare Is Absolute Bananas

Bananas are supposed to be a sleep-friendly snack, yet if Doug’s Nightmare is anything to go by, you’d be safe necking a wedge of cheese. From swarms of bugs to floating brains, you’re gonna need to be the top banana in this bullet hell.

Other than being a banana, one of the standouts of this cartoon twin-stick shooter from Eastasiasoft is the hand-drawn art style. Not fussed about the looks? There’s plenty of weaponry on offer, such as slimy squirt guns to spiky clubs. Not comfortable in your banana skin? Change it for one of the very many customisations!

Here are some of the key features included:

• Pummel your way through whimsical nightmare scenarios as an anthropomorphic banana!
• Enjoy comic book style cutscenes and immerse yourself in Doug’s identifiable plight.
• Use twin-stick controls to dish out damage in beat ’em up style!
• Fend off swarms of bugs and other weirdly unsettling enemy types.
• Choose between multiple difficulties to customize the experience.
• Equip a huge variety of skins and weapons, from bats to squirt guns and more!

…and the Doug’s Nightmare video:

Doug’s Nightmare will be released on PlayStation, Xbox, and the Nintendo Switch on May 22, 2024, and is priced at US $5.99/€ 5.99/€5.99.

While we’re on bananas, don’t always trust everything they say; it could get you in trouble. Take My Friend Pedro, for example.
