#Elden Ring Nightreign’s solo mode is so tough it is already getting nerfed fairly arduous – Destructoid

The evening is darkish and stuffed with players. Elden Ring: Nightreign has already hit two million gross sales on its first day, however one side of the sport is so tough it already is getting nerfed.

Whereas From Software program’s newest Soulslike sport is constructed for co-op play with mates, Nightreign additionally has a solo mode that’s so punishing that the developer has already confirmed a number of adjustments to make it simpler in an replace subsequent week.

Because the sport is constructed round co-op play for 3 gamers, the scaling for solo play is unquestionably a bit harsh. And so FromSoftware introduced at this time that will probably be buffing the quantity of Runes gained in solo play to assist even the enjoying area, whereas additionally permitting for one computerized revival upon demise to maintain gamers within the battle.

That is undoubtedly a welcome change, contemplating that the sport lacks crossplay, help for duos, and has scarce communication mechanics in-game together with no voice chat help. This transformation to solo play ought to hopefully encourage extra gamers to attempt the sport out or a minimum of give those that have purchased it already some purpose to go it alone whereas ready for mates.

In my overview interval with the sport, I barely touched solo play as a result of it didn’t really feel particularly reasonable. The Evening Lord bosses, particularly, really feel like they’re constructed for a number of gamers versus only one the place it could really feel oppressive. Soulslike veterans might have a better time with it, however the lots most certainly want these nerfs.

In our overview of Elden Ring: Nightreign, I known as it a Soulslike with “seamless co-op, mixed with the roguelike components of video games like Hades, with a number of the urgency of battle royale video games sprinkled in,” making for a enjoyable but flawed expertise. It’s out now on PS5, PS4, Xbox Sequence X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
