I was skeptical about Elden Ring Nightreign when I found out about it. Elden Ring is a masterpiece and although I missed the next visit to the lands, doing it in the current Rogulite format with a circle in the style of the Battle of Royale, which closes at me, he was not my first choice. During the first dozen hours in Nightreign I remained skeptical. I wondered if this arcaded format economical everything that made Elden Ring so great – it certainly seemed to be happening. But at some unceremonial point during the first 12 hours, the knowledge I gained during my previous runs, fucked and clicked the elements.
Suddenly I was the master of these parallel lands between, calling for key locations that my trio had to hit before the end of the day, carving effective paths on the map to ensure success, and shouting movements and repealing times in real time to lend a hand my team. Nightreign condenses Elden Ring’s journey, his ups and downs, and acquiring knowledge in a 45-minute run many times, often for great success. Although this success has some significant reservations, he told me to say: “One more run”, over and over again, a marker of perfection in this genre.

Surprised in Limveld, the Elden Ring starting area, but on a different timeline players choose one of the eight night shade to the round table to take part in one of the eight games of the game. During them you have one goal: survive for three days, which requires the removal of many enemies to equalize, collect weapons and objects and defeat the main bosses who attack each day. A successful trip through Limveld leads you to fight the night land, and overcoming Five Nightlords leads to credits. The loosely structured narrative combines a prerequisite based on the game, but it is pigeon, ensuring sufficient justification for seekers.
Although learning fresh Nightfarers in flight may be harmful to others in your trio, all eight playable characters bring something valuable and special for a round table. I got stuck with the figure of Archer Ironeye, who is agile and perhaps the most essential of every run, but I also liked Tanky Guardian, with his highest ability to throw invincibility. I am looking forward to mastering the other six Nightfarers when I sit through this world fresh players. Special “memory” task lines for each form make sure that I go through various mileage to achieve specific goals, such as killing a boss to collect the object, as well as costumes to unlock and continuous prosecution of enduring equivalent relics that offer changing buffs and effects.
The difference between my runs during the opening hours and the runs I have now finished, 41 hours after covering each night list, cannot be overstated. I went through the free discovery of camps and locations, searching for loot and secrets, just like in Elden Ring, to realize that every second is wasted can be ruined. There is no time to discover, look for secrets or try fresh tactics, at least if you want to overcome the night line at the end of the third day (not to mention the main bosses at the end of the first and second day).
Nightreign can be the fastest Rogulite, a mini-maximal lesson that punishes idle behavior and indecision. In addition to the second press reviewing this game, connecting into Discord consisted of free greetings before the concise moment, because we all began to collect quietly, waiting for our night to fall into Limveld. Before we land, we are planning the first day on the expedition, ready to start thinking about our day two plans long before reaching the fourth level. It is brisk, demanding and all the more stressful because of it, but there is something special in getting everything you get from one player from the software game in a 45-minute run.
That is, when the reservations of the game do not break through your pleasure like a club that can wear Nightfarer. As you might expect, sailing this mess. This is annoying in one player from the software game, but unacceptable in Nightreign, which is clearly designed for the cooperative of three players. And although the software says that this game can be played solo, scaling seems to be a challenge only for the best players or in other words, real masochists. Even with two other teammates in voice chat, doing everything we should, be it using a password or we invite you to create, it was throwing a coin, whether it worked. When it didn’t work, it was never clear why. Although random matching is always complex with the compact pool of players, just as we had an undertaking, he is worried that none of the other systems worked particularly well. Despite this, playing with friends is as complex as always because of the archaic mode of multi -person software.
Defective matching becomes even more frustrating when you are vaccinated with a map that seems to be a failed escape from the jump. Although it happens that I won without what I thought I needed, it is clear what is necessary during each trip. The first night night is frail in the face of saints, and you will get a few holy camps on your map, marked with a symbol, to inform that this is a place that you should fall on the Holy Armament. But if you do not get these camps, there is a solid chance that you will not find a holy weapon elsewhere, which means that you cannot utilize the main weakness of the night list. Of course, there are other ways of overcoming, but Nightreign tells you what is effective against the night line from above. He calls you to utilize tactics and at first glance, at first glance, realizing a map that you probably won’t do. This frustration appears in various ways on the expedition, regardless of whether it is the lack of the camps you need, the world boss, who is significantly derived (looking at you, a hunter containing a bell), or a storm wheel, which leads you for most of the day, which means that you skip valuable points of interest and fight with the boss to survive.
Sometimes my teammates and I failed to go because of something that we did wrong, whether it was wrongly reading the boss, it takes too long to lure the area, or they do not lose their key location, such as the church for collecting. In each of these runs there were lessons that can be learned. They were annoying the number of times when my teammates and I failed because of the random elements of Nightreign, which as a result seemed outside our control and crazy. Yes, it is an equal course for Rogulite, but achieving success seems so stiff in Nightreign that there is no place to experiment with something else when something goes wrong. I desperately want a button that allows your trio to resume the trip, instead of waiting for death to return to the round table, and hopefully I will go back to the next race without a problem.
Despite this, regardless of whether I finished the race, he died of a mistake from which I could learn, or met an early end, because happiness was not on my side, I was always trying to start another trip. The adrenaline and dopamine of the great Elden session are present in all of Nightreign, and exhilarating is knowing that theoretically only 45 minutes of re -experience of these feelings.
Nightreign is best when I am the best, which means that Roguelite’s software must meet me halfway, leaving frustrating fears at a round table. When swimming works when the randomness of the map gives my trio a chance to fight, and when the storm does not punish the unjust key to the trip, I am glad that I can raise the challenge. The prize for my efforts is the championship, knowledge and adrenaline, which I spent dozens of hours at the construction site at Elden Ring, condensed in one race. And every success is just as vigorous and glorious as the last.
