— “Elden Ring Nightreign is a must-play for any Souls combat fan, and an excellent experience to tackle with your friends. The smartest asset reuse in the industry masterfully delivers addictive gameplay with some innovative ideas that only slightly miss the mark on execution.”

— Fextralife (8.7/10)

— “Despite impressive combat, flexible character customization, and expansive content, Nightreign is hindered by outdated matchmaking systems, lack of crossplay, and limited accessibility options. It demands prior experience with Elden Ring and is best enjoyed in coordinated groups.”

— TechRadar

— “The very core idea behind the conception of Nightreign is flawed; loop-based roguelike mechanics break the magic of FromSoftware’s formula. It feels like a bundle of mods that quickly loses its charm due to repetitiveness—especially if you lack a skilled co-op partner.”
