Nightreign single playermode is unabalanced, not recommended for solo players

Let's get the most important caveat out of the way first: If you are hoping to tackle Nightreign entirely solo, and are anything less than a hardcore Elden Ring player that actively seeks out ways to make that already difficult game even more challenging, Nightreign isn't for you. Yes, there is technically a single-player option, but it is so poorly balanced that I would be shocked if it isn't patched and adjusted within the first month of release. And this is coming from someone who lives and breathes these types of games.

I really, really do not like this change of direction. It's frankly just baffling to see a single player-focused game get pivoted to multiplayer, and that'd be true even if I had any interest in MP games.
 
Considering this game was made with multiplayer/coop in mind, it really shouldn't be a surprise.

That being said, solo is still possible, and may even be more enjoyable for some.

 
Oh, a focused multiplayer game is unbalanced when playing solo ?

everyone sharing GIF
 
I wasn't sure why people are being so anal about playing it solo, but then I remembered everyone on this community is a deep-end misanthrope
 
Solo player meaning fighting only the cpu?

I thought this was a pvp only game............
You do know that co-op "only" game doesn't mean a pvp game, correct?

Seems to be balanced around 3 players but I'm sure really good players will be fine playing solo
 
Seems like something a patch can solve.
It will. There is already a rumor of a day one patch and this thread could potentially die very fast due to that or any upcoming future update.

I think OP just wanted some quick clicks, rage posts, and hot takes, before it happens.

I think they're confusing Nightreign with duskblood

Nah, i m not, this just feel like a copy/paste assets crash grab, i ll just wait their new sp focused game

You are a FROM player but not a HARDCORE FROM PLAYER.

That is the difference. This game is too hard for you. And you need an easier experience.

No shame in that, wait for an easier experience to suit you.

MH is made on solo experience balanced to MP not the other way around
And that's the case for Fromsoft games as well. Just need more balancing. It's not like they don't have experience at it.

I'm just surprised they didn't nail it at release. PvE wise they're pretty good at it. It's the PvP aspects of Souls game that are usually whack.
 
Even if solo more balanced I don't think I would enjoy core game.

The biggest reason like Elden Ring, even game like Dark Souls and Bloodborne is to take my time and explore.

Here is much about rush the level to find gear you need, that's not my idea of good time.


I LOVE FROM games but I'm definitely not the target audience for this game.

Not sure what the reason is not to balance a solo mode THEY provided beyond the usual "fuck you gitgud" crap that gets spewed out with every FS game.

This game is not balanced for SP, its balanced to MP PVE

I'll just do co op on launch then wait for a patch to reign in single player, or for all we know there's some meta shit people figure out to make solo a stomp.
 
I really hope single player runs will be extremely difficult and a true test of skill and not get nerfed.

So much fun to try and complete a full run if impossible for standard players like me.
 
Why would you ever buy this game to play it solo? That's like playing an extraction shooter solo without any teammates nor opponents, just the PVE element. There are better games for that.
