A spin-off of the best-selling Elden Ring, offering action RPG and extraction game mechanics similar to Dark and Darker. Elden Ring: Nightreign allows for singleplayer, but was made primarily for online co-op for up to 3 people. The main goal of the game is to survive a 3-day cycle featuring boss fights.
Elden Ring: Nightreign is a spin-off of the best-selling Elden Ring souls game. The game was developed by FromSoftware studio, and its release was handled by Bandai Namco Entertainment. This time, the authors prepared an action RPG with gameplay ideas reminiscent of extraction games like Dark and Darker or Dungeonborne.
Story
The action of Elden Ring: Nightreign takes place in a universe parallel to the world of the main game. We take on the role of the so-called Nightfarers, who venture from Roundtable Hold to the land of Limveld. There, they must survive a three-day cycle and at the end of each night they have to face a powerful boss. Surviving the cycle is worth it, as subsequent victories bring not only glory, but also rewards that allow the heroes to face increasingly powerful Nightlords.
Gameplay
In Elden Ring: Nightreign we view the events from a third-person perspective (TPP). The game provides us with characters varied in terms of combat skills.
During the game, we traverse Limveld and fight against opponents, collecting better equipment along the way. As we progress, the map gradually becomes smaller, and as the night draws to a close, we come face to face with a powerful boss.
The victory allows us to continue the cycle until the culminating battle with the chosen Nightlord. However, if we fall on the battlefield, we lose the spoils we have gained. Both the appearance of the land and the enemies lurking for us, as well as the rewards prepared for our characters, are constantly changing. Death forces us to start gathering equipment from scratch, but there are also permanent upgrades in the form of relics.
Co-op
Elden Ring: Nightreign can be played solo. Nevertheless, the game was prepared primarily for multiplayer and online co-op with other players.
