In essence, similar to many roguelike games, Elden Ring Nightreign primarily focuses on the player’s character’s unyielding quest for increased power. The gameplay structure follows a recurring and limited pattern, involving multiple attempts at the same series of obstacles, with minimal carry-over progression from one playthrough to another. This design, coupled with the limitations imposed by Nightreign’s roster of character templates, might have given the impression of mechanical confinement compared to its original counterpart. However, Elden Ring was renowned for its extensive and versatile build options, leading one to expect a more linear, less customizable combat experience in Nightreign. Fortunately, this is not the case.
