For many people, the Dark Souls and Elden Ring Series are synonyms for bulky gentlemen and methodological battles that include the investigation of the enemy's attack patterns and the search for openness to the counterattack. Bloodborne led the gameplay of a soul in a more aggressive direction by recovering a faster, which is faster and the possibility of recovering lost life through attacks, and Sekiro: Shadows die twice for a combat system that can only be dominated by counter -attack. In Elden Ring: Nighttreign, the multiplayer spin-off from Elden Ring from From software, returns aggressiveness, although from a completely different type …
The game, which was inspired by Nighttreign's Roguelike Reward's intelligent planning and establishment of priorities, and aggressive time management is an earlier prerequisite for overcoming an expedition of a piece. An expedition takes place over three days, of which the first two (approx. 15 to 20 minutes each) of exploration and cultivation up to a toxic rain in the purest Fortnite style research and cultivate, the card shrinks and a fight against a boss begins. The third and last day consists of a fear of one of the eight super tones called Lords of the Night. At the beginning of each expedition, you and two other players choose one of the eight predefined classes, the eyelashes of the night to play (we will talk about it later), and then they will drop in Lumilimbo, an alternative version of the main game necrolimbo, which was formed by a series of random places.

There will be small strengths, larger castles, churches, tunnels, camps, sand, mysterious meteorological phenomena and other reference points for which you can navigate. First it will be confused to find out where you are going (or rather sprint) and in what order, since the map is plagued by small symbols that are difficult to differ from each other. If you play with random players, your most important communication method is to place mistakes on the card. It is not a very elegant system, partly because the card is visually disorganized, but also because there will be several active mistakes at the same time, and it is difficult to agree on the order in which you have to look for you if you cannot speak among them.
It also takes some time to find out what the different places reward them, and here the knowledge of the world of Elden Ring and a wider design language will give players an immediate advantage. For example, veterans will quickly recognize that small churches with Márika statues reward them with an additional bottle load, lead the tunnels to forging stones to improve weapons, and the puzzles provide powerful equipment.
Most weapons and objects are taken directly from Elden Ring, but even as a veteran who spent more than 100 hours in the main game, I had to examine certain objects to determine, for example, that they provide the damage and larger recovery recovery of greater resistance. I was wondering whether Elden would be too illogical for newcomers and would not be suitable for this type of game in which the use of time is essential and there is no space for ambiguities. Perhaps a weapon should simply be called a weapon, no “weapons” or a word confiscated by the style.

Fortunately, some aspects of Elden Ring's gameplay have significantly simplified. For example, statistics are automatically assigned when the XP of the game, the runes, is redeemed in the well -known golden graces. And when you take a new weapon, guns – a simple green arrow or a red down, indicate whether it is an improvement or deterioration in the current times without having to deal with the underlying climbing system. And since we talk about weapons, a color shows how strong and rarely they are, as we know for MMO games as World of Warcraft. As an experienced player from Elden Ring, it is fun to see which weapons of it consider from software play as “epic” and “legendary”.
A story derived from Elden Ring also means that the vast majority of enemies and bosses they find are recycled, although many of them with updated and more aggressive movements. Fortunately, the eight lords of the night are original creations, and although Elden Ring has to inspire a huge (and large) catalog of enemies, I miss new additions that are not only called for the developers' previous games. It is undeniable that this gives the game the feeling of being a collection of “big hits from From software”, and this feeling is a double sword that on the one hand shows some great moments from Fan service (I'm glad to see you again, King without a name!), But also makes the world and the history of the game difficult to take. The story here is more of a late event than ever, and although it is a little fun to learn a little about the past of the different nights, reading weapon descriptions and other objects to rebuild a story was never so attractive.
Where Nighttreign differs in particular from Elden Ring, it is located in the play loop mentioned above and in the predefined classes. The eight eyelashes of the night all have an excellent visual design and an equally extraordinary combat mechanic. At first glance, the classes fulfill several traditional functions of the RPG and the MMO. For example, it seems obvious that the Guardian, a humanoid eagle with a huge sign in one and one spear in the other hand, has to act as a tank, while the fast, like the drawing beam with its two knives and the occupant of the magician or the archera Ironone, has to cause the same distance. And although I recommend a composition of various devices at the beginning, this is not a requirement. Nothing prevents her and her friends from playing the three with the same class.
I am a simple man. I see a character with the bulky arms and a large stick and quickly forget the magic, arches and arms that are based on skill. That is why Raider, a swollen pirate with a colossal ax with two hands, quickly became my favorite. His unique character, the ability “retaliation”, gives him less damage while he throws hands, causing the great attitude damage. And its final art “Estela Totem” lets a stone column shoot out of the ground and damage the surrounding enemies, while using it as cover or safe platform to shoot or throw in spell. Another melee -oriented is Nightfarer, Wylder, the protagonist of the game cover, can use his Garf to pull the enemies on him or against them, and the Guardian Eagle can be thrown from the sky to experience the fallen whips on a wide radio. All classes are immune to fall damageYou can sprint along the walls and jump, which makes it considerably easier to cross large distances and quickly moves from one reference to another.
The use of the passive and active skills of the different classes is crucial against the bosses, especially against the fearsome Lord of the night. Elden ring and in its shadow of the earth's trree, which expands some very challenging bosses with almost continuous attack patterns that required quick reflexes such as lightning, and these controversial design philosophy is brought to the extreme in Nighttreign. In this game, however, it is a necessity that bosses are extremely agile, have huge life bars and almost exclusively do attacks in the region, otherwise three players could easily overwhelm them. The demonic dog from three heads, Gladius, conjures up fire pits, softly a huge sword with a chain and is divided into three smaller dogs, while the huge ice dragon Caterigo rained to carambans in the sky and spits ice winds. Careful coordination and the use of definitive and consumable arts are required to end these beasts, but it is a great feeling when you get them.
At least for the first time. I don't dare predict whether there will continue to be motivation to end it again and again. I think that eight night lords and Nightpherers are a solid selection at the start, but I think it is crucial that software quickly adds new content to the game to ensure long -term survival. The most important thing is that new cards are added. I was already fed up with Elden Ring, so it was a bit difficult to see that Nighttreign develops almost completely in a random version of it. Other environments appear in the form of the so -called “Tierra Moveiza” events, in which a certain Limivd area is transformed into a Schneeberg or a lava harvest with different enemies and enemies, but they do not offer the variety that I expected when the main game has so many beautiful environments to take hand. In my opinion, adding new cards should be the top priority of developers after the start.
As someone who loves the big and extensive games for a player and who hurried to condemn the new multiplayer of From software, I am pleasantly surprised by Nighttreign. To be honest, I had a great time with the game and see myself again and again easily, provided that the developers manage to regularly add new content to the game. In my opinion, Nighttreign is an experiment with great success at a fair price, and although there are some obvious failures, the polishing, such as the lack of new enemies and cards except Limveld, is the most serious die basis of the game is solid like a stone, and that is what is most important. However, I was lucky enough to play with my brother and our partner Ketil Skotte from Sweden gameraktor, and to be honest, I don't know if I would recommend the game to those who have no friends or family with whom I can play. To be able to communicate properly is a requirement that is too important to have fun in Nighttreign. Therefore, it is a shame that the game does not allow a cross game. If the start is added as soon as possible, this should actually be the highest priority of the developer.
