Elden Ring Nightreign brings significant changes to the original game's formula while maintaining its core essence. Here are the key differences between both games:

Enhanced Movement Mechanics:

• Ability to climb walls regardless of armor
• Universal dodge mechanics across all character types
• No fall damage from any height
• Increased mobility and traversal options

Streamlined Combat and Resources:

• FP Flasks removed
• Healing Flasks only obtainable at Churches
• No weapon weight restrictions
• Carry unlimited weapons
• Random weapon effects and bonuses available

Progression Changes:

• Automated stat distribution when leveling up
• No manual stat allocation
• Random HP, Stamina, and FP increases per level

New Dynamic Elements:

• Random events and encounters throughout gameplay
• Surprise boss encounters that pursue players
• Special events offering rare weapons and Runes
• Three-day survival structure against Forces of Night

Core Gameplay Loop:

• Session-based roguelike experience
• Multiple boss battles leading to Night Lords
• Resource collection for character progression
• Focus on fast-paced combat encounters

Important Notes:

• Standalone game (doesn't require original Elden Ring)
• More battle-focused than the original
• Emphasizes roguelike elements over traditional RPG mechanics
• Culminates in final Night Lord battles after three in-game days

These changes create a faster, more accessible experience while maintaining the challenging combat Souls games are known for.
