I’m having an absolute blast with this game and I’ve only played with randoms so far. I don’t get why people are so upset about the reused assets from Elden Ring. It’s clearly a spinoff, not a full-blown new FromSoftware title, and it’s not pretending to be one either. It seems like people calling it a scam were expecting Elden Ring 2 or something?
For me, this game is a dream come true. I love roguelikes, co-op multiplayer, and the Elden Ring universe. Nightreign brings all of that together. The bosses are awesome and super fun to fight, but I’d rarely go back and replay them in the original game. Having this kind of arcade-style experience set in that world, where I can just jump in for a run, is perfect. In Elden Ring, I’d max out a build and use it forever. Here, every run feels fresh, I’m always trying out new gear, new classes, new strategies. The variety keeps it exciting, and the classes feel distinct and fun to learn. I think what they’ve done here is genuinely brilliant. The wall climbing feels great, and the gameplay is smooth and satisfying.
Sure, the game has its flaws, but nothing that keeps me from wanting to come back and play one more run. Crossplay and a duo mode would definitely be great additions. Voice chat can be useful at times, though I actually like the quiet form of communication when playing with randoms. When I want to play with voice chat, I just head to the official Discord server to find a group. There, you’ll meet real team players who enjoy the game without rage quitting or yelling. I do think the emotes could be better implemented. After about 20 runs, I’ve never seen anyone using them.
Anyway, just my opinion. This is my favorite co-op online multiplayer experience since Helldivers II.
