Elden Ring Nightreign is a standalone co-op spin-off that takes the cautious dungeon crawls of Elden Ring and turbocharges them into propulsive, slash ‘n’ dash speedruns. And we played it!

TL;DR: It’s a co-op roguelike. Drop in, explore the map, survive 3 days and beat a unique boss.

Once you buy it you get access to the complete package, and there are no battle passes or microtransactions to contend with. It can also be played in singleplayer should you wish to stay offline, with enemy health pools that scale down so that it’s not too overwhelming for solo players (although curiously, there are currently no plans to allow players to play in pairs).

    I’m surprisingly indifferent about this, despite playing ER multiple times and loving the DLC. Maybe I’ll get it at a discount in the future.

    yawn

    Souls games are just yearly FIFA slop for nerds and rougelikes/metroidvanias are a cancer to the action genre that needs to die off.

      Souls games are nowhere near “yearly”, and there’s been massive changes throughout the games. How do you get anything close to “yearly FIFA slop” from that?!

      I’m sorry but literally no. There are exactly 3 Dark Souls games, the first came out 14 years ago. Demon’s Souls, Bloodborne, Elden Ring, and maybe Sekiro can be considered Soulslike, but your comment reeks of naivety.

      They’re all individually some of the most mechanically unique games, with a ton of variety between each other. It’s not even remotely the same as a FIFA, Madden, or Call or Duty level of cut / paste.
