Love the Battle Royal/Roguelite

[Flushing]

But not having any PvP is a mistake, especially for a Battle Royal style of game.

For Elden Ring I could see an argument for Co-Op only gameplay but Nightreign is a Battle Royal.

I really hope they add meaningful PvP and don't Shoehorn it in later with something superficial.

i like the rouglike aspect too gives a bit more push to explore the world. But i dont like how we cant make custom builds tho.

It is not a Battle Royale, it just has a circle, none of the other core BR mechanics.

not meant to be a pvp game so i disagree

"Battle royale mechanics include dropping down to a location, scavenging gear, and surviving an enclosing zone." - google

"The gameplay typically combines the gunplay mechanics of first or third person shooters with the exploration and scavenging found in the best survival games. It is a genre with a few absolute rules but can be quite flexible in its application as games introduce additional mechanics such as weapon tiers, character abilities, upgrades, and more." - techopedia

ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN has all above but no PvP.

Why do you think quoting google or technopedia is some claim to authority. Everyone, yourself included, knows Battle Royale games are traditionally PvP focused.

Oh wait, I just used google too:

A battle royale game is a genre of online multiplayer video games that blends survival, exploration, and scavenging elements of a survival game with last-man-standing gameplay. Typically, players are dropped into a large open area where they must scavenge for weapons and equipment while fighting to be the last person or team standing, as the game’s safe area decreases in size over time.

Oh wait, also from technopedia:

What is a Battle Royale Game?
A battle royale game is an online multiplayer genre typically associated with shooters. In them, a large number of players compete against one another until only one player (or team) remains.

I never said that it is BR. It still has core BR mechanics. And why do you think people called it Fortnite meet Elden ring? Even big content creator said the same thing.

I quoted it because I think the same as you at first but after some reading and watching, it has a part.

I don't think I disagree with anything you just said.

PvP has never been the focus for souls games. As it is, they aren't great for PvP, they're simply good enough at it.

This is probably a placeholder game for the next big thing, I'm not too concerned with no pvp in this one. Sekiro was just fine without it

[Purromi]

it's not a mistake - it's all wanted from all RPG/fantasy dark and darker clones - and it hits little different target. It's awaited to not have PVP. COOP is better.

It is those mechanics in combination with the last man standing PVP element that makes it a game a Battle Royale. The very term comes from an old movie where it was a last man standing thing.

Mechanics like these in a PVE setting are synonymous with the rouge-like genre.
