Getting one of these. If I get Nightreign I'll be playing solo, but Khazan seems like a better game in regards to solo play.

why not both

Nightreign is a clusterfuck either with people or solo. It definitely takes some getting used to. I've been playing it for about 20 hours and still don't have the confidence to lead the other people I queue up with, so most of the time I just get dragged around the map. It stresses me out.

Haven't played Khazan so I couldn't tell you.

you gotta be a real big souls fan to enjoy nightreign
the 1 souls game i actually want to play is khazan, tried the demo and really liked it

>>712493854
I have too many games in my backlog, I wont stop buying, but I will reduce the amount of new games I purchase.

khazan is utter dog shit, if you have to play one go with nightreign because its at least cheaper

>>712493993
I dislike playing with others friends or randoms included, from what I've seen solo is doable it's just a souls like that resets when you lose, which isn't bad in my opinion since I'm not playing to just beat the bosses, I'>>712494331
>>712493993
m playing to have fun with the gameplay, since once you just start doing runs and winning every time it gets boring at that point.

>>712494331
How so? I played the demo and it felt and looked great imo.

>>712494469
Had a stroke, my bad.

>>712494549
you will get bored halfway through, its way too long with no enemy diversity

>>712493397 (OP)
Khazan if you want a structured combat-focused game
Nightreign if you like the idea of a timed elden ring roguelite boss rush with new player characters
I liked Khazan more overall, but it's apples to oranges. They're both good.

>>712494147
Same, from what I've seen it's KINO. I like Nightreign for the characters and the general gameplay improvements.
Nightreigns story will get old quick I bet since the gameplay is very repetitive due to it's roguelike nature, but Khazan seems more repayable since it's more varied and the combat is more stylish.

>>712494787
Reasonable, it might come down to if Khazan goes on sale at the end of the month due to steams summer sale.

>>712494716
Wait for a sale on Khazan then.

>>712494270
then wait till both are cheap and get them
thats why i never waste more than 10€ on something

>>712494469
The game is essentially a timed boss rush. You won't be taking your time with anything since there's a circle closing in on you at a very, very rapid pace. The basic gameplay loop is this:

1) Grab as much important shit as you can on the giant fucking map in 15 minutes
2) Head to the center and fight the boss
3) Repeat once more
4) Fight the final boss

I'm not sure if there's a middle-ground for both learning how to play it on your own and still succeeding, but my only success has been from following teammates who knew exactly what to do and where to go. I'd say it's worth checking out if you're a fan of the series, but don't expect to fall in love with it. It's more like an extra gameplay mode than a full-bodied Souls game.

True, well, guess that's the thread then. Thanks guys

>>712493397 (OP)
khazan is garbage. i haven't played nightreign

>>712495313
Noted, yeah I like it because I'm a souls fan and enjoy the new animations like Ironeye and Executor/Wylders gameplay. I guess Ill see if Khazan goes on sale if not then Ill pick up Nightreign since it's cheaper.

>>712495313
>here's a circle closing in on you
battle royale shit. the false urgency rush rush gameplay just forces people to ignore that its recycled class based team garbo. still tempted to try it though cuz i'm a fag for fomo.

>>712495936
If you play solo you can just play at your pace in the sense that you won't have others bringing you down.

>>712493397 (OP)
If you're playing solo, just pirate Nightreign and buy Khazan.

>>712493397 (OP)
AI limit is better than both of these while costing less

>>712493397 (OP)
Get Khazan, because Nightreign is probably not the kind of game you think it is.

I beat both. Khazan clears every day of the week, and it's not even close.

Nightreign needs a lot more changes before I consider it actually worth the price point, especially if you want to play it solo, and Khazan is infinitely more interesting when it comes to boss fights and combat.

>>712493397 (OP)
I would probably say Khazan. Someone else in the thread already pointed out that the main problem is probably not enough enemy variety (also side missions reuse enemies) but Nightreign just straight up reuses from Elden Ring for most of its stuff. It's also way more repetitive because of the shorter gameplay loop that you do over and over.
I'd say mechanically Khazan is better too, but I think that depends on whether you prefer faster combat or like the slower Souls stuff.

>>712493397 (OP)
Khazan is actually a good game. Get Khazan.

You can get Nightreign if you just want something casual to mess around with.
