FromSoftware created a cooperative spin-off called Elden Ring: Nightreign, which changes the series' formula completely. Players control eight different warriors called Nightfarers who fight against evil Nightlords. The game takes place on Limveld, which resembles the original Elden Ring world but operates in a distinctly different manner. Each adventure lasts three days with strict time limits that force players to move quickly. Teams of up to three people work together to survive and defeat powerful enemies.
The fast pace makes Nightreign feel nothing like traditional Souls games that encourage slow exploration. Characters level up automatically, and weapons come with special abilities that create many different fighting styles. Eight unique warriors offer different gameplay approaches from magic users to tank fighters. Cooperative play works much better than solo adventures because enemies have high health and appear everywhere. Voice chat helps teams plan strategies, but simple map markers are often sufficient for communication.
Nightreign runs well on computers and looks almost identical to the original Elden Ring game. The reviewer spent over thirty hours playing and scored the game nine out of ten points. Cross-platform play does not exist, which limits who can play together. Some players might find the Nightlord battles extremely challenging and frustrating. The experience grows more enjoyable after learning the complex mechanics and accepting the different gameplay style.
