Nodusfall isn't Elden Ring, Monster Hunter or a typical HoYoverse game—it's something very different
Hands-on with the free-to-play boss-killer.
Nodusfall, a new co-op action game from HoYoverse, the company behind gacha titles, is not Elden Ring, Monster Hunter, or a typical HoYoverse game. Instead, Nodusfall is a unique experience that eschews many common elements of HoYoverse games. Unlike the usual gacha mechanics, Nodusfall focuses on customisable characters with distinct combat styles and unique mechanics.
The game takes place in a world where divine authority has crumbled, and order has collapsed, creating a bleak yet beautiful atmosphere. While Nodusfall shares similarities with Monster Hunter in terms of solo and group gameplay, it is not a soulslike game like Elden Ring. Instead, Nodusfall features an RPG's role-based classes, allowing players to select and customise their characters with different combat styles and mechanics.
The game's action-packed combat and emphasis on speed and flashy combos make it a brisk and relentless experience, requiring precision but also offering a sense of empowerment. Nodusfall's unique blend of aesthetics, classes, and combat styles sets it apart from its inspirations, offering an engaging and straightforward core that is easy to pick up and play with friends.
