Elden Ring Nightreign's notable issue may allegedly be rectified in an upcoming update within a week, yet concerns linger whether the modifications will be sufficient.
FromSoftware's cooperative roguelike spinoff, Elden Ring Nightreign, has been released, and early feedback suggests a rockier debut than usual for the esteemed developer. Although critic reviews were generally favorable, albeit less so than typical for FromSoftware, the initial response from players has been mixed.
Common criticisms include the lackluster map and enemy diversity, the absence of a two-player duos option, and the lack of crossplay. The game's solo play balancing is another significant issue, although FromSoftware has announced plans to improve the solo experience with a new update patch, Patch 1.02, slated for release next week.
In a studio post, FromSoftware expressed gratitude to Nightreign players, stating that Patch 1.02 would address several bugs and improve the solo expedition experience. Specifically, the developers plan to grant solo players an automatic revival during any Night boss battle, including those at the end of Day 1, Day 2, and the final Nightlord battle. Solo players will also receive more runes (experience) from slain enemies and bosses than those in a co-op team.
These changes, particularly the automatic revival feature, are expected to make the solo gameplay experience more enjoyable. However, some issues may still persist, such as the short time afforded for exploring the map before Night falls. Additionally, some players suggest that solo players should receive more healing flasks, given the mainline Elden Ring game's capacity for up to 14 flasks, whereas Nightreign currently caps solo players at 7 with church upgrades.
The community will need to test the updated solo experience once Patch 1.02 is released to gauge its effectiveness. While initial impressions suggest further challenges and difficulty, FromSoftware has historically been responsive to player feedback, as evidenced by the numerous changes made to Elden Ring post-launch. As such, players can anticipate future adjustments if necessary.
Elden Ring Nightreign reinvents the Soulsborne gameplay in a roguelike context with co-op elements. Despite its issues with map and enemy variety, the game is shaping up to be one of the year's best Xbox and PC games for Souls fans eager for action. It retails for $39.99 but can be purchased for $33.99 at Newegg with promo code XVSAVE (Xbox) or EPES3Z23 (PC).
