reviews

There is not much you can do to level up fast when quests are usually a higher level then you and resources are not fruitfully given. Bethesda is really hitting the cash cow hard on this one because they push that aspect hard, with constant reminders that you can buy all kinds of goodie bags online. To the company person who might respond to this in a generic manner, just tell Todd Howard to finally release the new Elder Scrolls game before I grow old. Please.

________________________________________________

Once you get to a certain level around 15 or so they start making the quest way too hard to pass which will force you to use actual cash to buy chest to be able to progress. It's a cash grab basically and the fighting mechanics are so foreign it doesn't feel like an elder scroll game. I miss the option to store food to use at a later date and I miss using my bow and arrows

________________________________________________

Way to ruin the elder scrolls experience. In this game is difficulty for events easiest easy normal hard and hardest while sometimes this is true I have experienced enough events to say now that it changes on the fly and your easiest or easy can actually become the hardest right off the bat, even if you're using suggested equipment, you end up drinking your health potions like a fish and wasting them. This is not appreciated and I will not be spending any more money towards a design like this.

Wonderful! This Team of people really do care and try their best and have been amazing to follow up with my issues as well as a personal favor! This game is beautiful, fun and runs smooth. I love the fact I can play it mobile or console too! Simply amazing! I'd recommend this game for casual or an engaging builder style with adventure and story in the right amounts.
noname770783, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

You can play this without spending money, it's ba challenge. It also could be a boring game if you dont like farming. Gotta farm in any game. It gets more interesting the more you build. And the more you level up and figure things out.
noname621671, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

Game is beautiful, well designed visually. Mechanics are diffrent from your typical mobile game and the way you look around and the snap to battles takes a bit to get use too but overall it has some polish. Just wished it had more of a story and some videos to go along but I get that's costly to produce and games free for the most part. For the reviews of it being bad and claiming it's soft locked, the games not soft locking you, you are just bad at gaming and need to learn how to adapt.
noname287654, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

Absolutely mediocre, the PVP aspect is okay, I like it a bit. Game needs a TON more love from the Dev team! If you found a great liking to the PVP aspect of this game, get ready for huge disappointments as countless bugs including Shields not blocking attacks anymore, spells not working/able to be used, two-handed weapons unable to do critical hit damage even though you clearly hit a crit, etc. Etc. Etc. I've come to say that dear Bethesda, we don't want stupid ogres, we want bugs fixed.
noname989362, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

At some point u will be stuck and nothing will make u get out got game for few days but too much hanging and worst settings... U have no acsess to lower or up ur graphic setting n control. What said in YouTube is right contols n game play is worst after few level s.. And no will respond. So don't spend money for few days coz u ll be disappointed... Don't spend at all...
noname323014, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

As mobile rpg games go, this one isn't bad once you get used to the controller. The side accomplishment of rebuilding your town isn't too distracting. As a fan of the Elder Scrolls in general, this is good for a quick experience
noname901902, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

I love the graphics and the premise behind the game. I've made it to level 10 and I have done every quest that I possibly can and now I am not a strong enough character to continue any of the main quests or even do any of the side quests. I'm very disappointed.
noname860040, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

I love The Elder Scrolls games, u0026 enjoy playing Blades a lot. But it can be frustratingly glitchy - like earlier today when my gameplay was interrupted with an immediate update demand - for an update that wasn't even available yet in Google Play Store. Plus, it STILL usually takes 2 tries to get the game to actually load anytime I play.
noname143895, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

For a top class company,I feel this was a swing and a miss. Too much of a pay to play feel,and the game itself seems confused and too heavily built around a single mechanic.
noname715922, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

If you take the time to understand the concept and how to win you'll have a good time also if your just trying this out know that to win you need to counter your enemy's elemtal type I recommend upgrading your bag too 100 inventory first so you can hold multiple sets of armor and weapons
noname338471, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

Great game ! Challenging and fun. Just one issue. The holliday themes you put on our towns should have an on/off switch so people who have issues with certain hollidays can turn them off. Thank you Bethesda ! You guys ROCK !
noname68776, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

Not for me, but it's not a bad game. 3 stars as 1 it's not for me and 2 the teleport I didn't like. But this was a way long time ago so it could be alot better now.
noname806949, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

For a mobile Elderscrolls game, this isn't bad. I haven't spent a dime and at around 8-10 hours of gameplay I was at lvl15. I pay attention to Armour bonuses towards skills, and weapon enchantments and do a lot of Jobs early on. Save your garlic and your gems.
noname605575, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

The game itself is good, but the arena is horrible. I'm level 18 and I either get matched against players below level 10 or above level 40. Right now I don't even bother with it.
noname986906, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

Good for what it is. Combat is interactive, there are quests and missions, storyline is ok and there are goals to complete and more than yourself to level up
noname313480, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

Combat isn't bad, I'll give it that. My issue(playing as a Breton) there is no Conjuration skills and the Magicka-based Restoration spells are so underwhelming they border on ineffective.
noname663965, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

The arena is really bad. 1 person you can beat and than 15 or more in a row of players 20 or more levels above you.
noname359971, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

fun if your a casual player, gets kind of boring if you play more than 20 minutes a day after level 10
noname341514, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

Good game... Time consuming and addictive.. I'm not sure why so many people think it's a money grab. I'm in level 37 without any money spent. You do have to put the game down and wait a day to get more health potions sometimes. When the game gets tough,I find it's because it wants you to do a certain thing like go to the abyss and build experience points... Combat mode is just ok, after a while it's basically just the same thing recycled over. Old school dungeons and dragons. It's good..
noname222472, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

Would love to love this game more but the difficulty curve in many places seems like to relies on cheap tricks to seem difficult
noname491490, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

Kinda sucks. With regards to gameplay; the controls are cumbersome and the combat isn't engaging. As for the rest of the experience; this was clearly created with an agenda. To my knowledge, some of the most offensive pay to win elements have been phased out, but this simply leaves behind a piece of software that was a cash grab first and a game second. This could have been a mini elder scrolls, but instead it's just boring and unrewarding.
noname699943, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

I play this on my Samsung Galaxy tablet, after a small learning curve to understand the controls it's overall a solid game! It's well balanced enough that you don't have to make any in-game purchases in order for it to be enjoyable. The maps are constantly updated and they introduce new things often enough to keep it interesting.
noname592144, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

Unlike other users I have no issues with stacking resources. If you can't pass a 1 skull job at level 15 then hang it up bud, you're no gamer. Jobs and quests are easy to do once you comprehend the combat system, remember you're not on console and its not just a "tap" game. One of my only complaints is navigating the town. There should be a town map for easier access and building tracking, possibly with the ability to complete your upgrades once done from that map.
noname478266, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

My favorite mobile game, love the graphics and the gameplay is easy to follow.
noname248866, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

I decided to give the game a try in spite of some of the negative reviews, only to find they are completely right. At level 15 I'm essentially soft-locked out of the game. Even one star jobs are too difficult to get past the first few enemies, I've drained my resources for crafting better armor and potions, and the arena isn't even an option as it has zero level balancing. The game is balanced in a manner that would require a purchase of gems to continue, while lacking any real fun value.
noname469318, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

Good game concept, except for the pay-to-win model that they used for the game. if Bethesda had just charged $10-20 for the game I would have been happy to pay for that, but constantly tempting people to keep spending money on the game to get the crazy amount of resources needed to expand your town and to cut cool-down times down is why it gets 3 Stars. - Update: The response took over 2 years. When I posted this, there was no Jobs board. I hold by my review from June 2019: Pay to win.
noname262081, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

Graphics are great, atmosphere is good, controls take a second to adjust to but are ultimately good and it plays well, clean HUD is efficient, it is on rails...but it is well implemented, you reach a paywall, you can probably grind you way around...but then it won't be fun, only the fact that I need a connection is a real downer...as good as I was expecting from this name...certainly worth a try!
noname165569, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

Great game! Really impressed on the graphics and story of the game. I do wish though that you can use the S pen for more movement and looking around with the character though. You can use the pen for the character equipment screen and navigate your towns shops menu which is nice but not for the main screen.
noname306463, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

This game is so great ,other than basically pay to win ,I enjoy it.Theres so many weapons, armor,able to upgrade your city,enchanting,selling, many missions,but my one main problem is that there is no ranked matches in Arena mode ,right now I'm level 20 and I spawn in matches up to enemies at the level 50!. All I want is the blades gear,I'm not mad I'm only disappointed.
noname207401, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

Great game! But could benefit from some minor improvements. Game play is really good, graphics are great! The ability to play with your screen turned vertical or horizontal is a massive win. The the dungeon crawling is well setup if a bit redundant, as all are. The town re-build is well done, but limited, u0026 could use some expansion to the building library. The ability to build the general shops and buildings in the full original game would add a lot of interest, especially to appease females.
noname711963, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

Having difficulty with controls for combat. I can block but then you have to wait for the optimum circle to illuminate. Should just be block and slash. Use the kiss principal, keep it simple stupid. Where is the update? Just the play button which takes you back to update page!!!!
noname588689, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

Bethesda. Don't respond to this. This game has serious flaws that are blatantly there so people have to spend money. And it deserves every negative review it gets. Regardless of "we feel blades offers a great experience" No healing spells, character progression is slower than AI difficulty. Resources are hard to come by. Vendors have next to no money or items for you to buy or sell. Health potions needed constantly but are near impossible to obtain. Not enough space for all the complaints.
noname989357, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

Overall a good distillation of what we have come to expect from Elder Scroll. However, there are a number of needling issues, map recycling is extreme, most non essential dialog feels flip and not thought out. The most egregious complaint is that the simplified armor and skills make characters feel less customizable and for skills more like a game of rock, paper, scissors. Also, there seems to me a skill tree that players cannot take.
noname84563, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

Tons of agreements and links on agreements. Only what is missing is - Sign it with own blood :D Fůůůj. I try play few weeks. Even invest money. No mather what, nonstop forsing me spend. Geting unplayable sometimes on lovest dificulty jobs and quest. Drop lovest lev posible, but monsters geting stronger with my lev. Higher lever tasks - no chance. Simply no drop - pay !!
noname742003, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

I Like it, shame about loosing so much freedom the pc versions had, but all the sacrifices make sense. Thanks. I would like to see some keyboard and better mouse support, might start a trend or merchandising opportunity and remove many of the touch screen limitations.
noname51792, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

This game is stupid. Everything gets in your way, no clear direction. What people who create games forget we didn't create the game...we don't know how to use anything or where anything is...how are we suppose to interact with a game that gives the same responses to anything. Nothing is really helpful. Also, tried to bind acct n by the nines there's is no help there either because it doesn't tell how to do what is suggested. I spent an hour getting nowhere. I am done...I am not gonna waste my $$
noname466686, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

For some reason, ever since i downloaded there's been very prominent audio glitches, it never stops skipping every 2 seconds like an old blu-ray CD with a scratch. Tried moving around settings, low and high power mode and no fix. Hopefully this isn't planned obsolescence?
noname854422, the 17/11/2021

________________________________________________

Everything was okay until I reached the wizard tower the second time. The game crashes whenever I loot something besides the key. I need some help pls. Edit: I restarted the game and finally everything works fine! The only downside in my opinion is that the fight mechanics are so much melee oriented and, personally, I always go for mage classes and I think the current gameplay isn't really suited for that. I wish the gameplay offered more tactical ways for mage/ranged players.
noname311558, the 12/09/2025

________________________________________________

They should have named it Chest And Gems. I know it's a free to play but so many mechanics are only designed to make you pay. You only can craft and loot with chests. You can open the chests but only if you wait. A LOT OF TIME. But you can speed this up... With gens of course. It's just one example in a myriad of needs of gems. I don't know how they would push such a predatorial and greedy game design with a game still in pre release.
noname834985, the 12/09/2025

________________________________________________

Wow! I am impressed. This game is amazing for a mobile game. The graphics, the story, the character customization, the weapons and loot. This is probably the most impressive looking game on mobile and I really like that you can change to vertical or landscape mode while playing. This deserves 5 stars. Anyone that ranks it lower is crazy? Thanks Bethesda!
noname716362, the 12/09/2025

________________________________________________

Great game so far. The major disappointments Drops and chests are horrid, the arena matchmaking doesnt try to do anything to find someone similar to your skill level. Opponents could be 3 or 5x your power and def. And the drop rates for anything good are next to 0. Your forged gear is always better than anything you find in the world. Constant low tier drops from mobs and chests, and if anything rare does drop its still made from the usual low tier materials so its useless.
noname110722, the 12/09/2025

________________________________________________

I am a long term Skyrim u0026 Oblivion player and all I can say is that they failed this time when they left out the restoration spells equipped on all species on advent of the game. The quests get very difficult very fast and potions for healing are not frequent in the dungeons. The apothecary only carries one potion every 24 hours. So you sit around waiting several days for potions just to do one quest. But I do like that there's no ads. Building up is VERY slow.
noname923063, the 12/09/2025

________________________________________________

I really wanted to love this game. It's beautiful. Unfortunately I really really don't. I don't have an event, quest, or task that is at my level which I don't understand because at the same time you can't get strong enough or enough resources or even buy enough to be for the game to be competitive (or fun). The way this game limits you means that even if you spend money it would still be incredibly frustrating playing it. So what's the point?
noname596374, the 12/09/2025

________________________________________________

Love everything elder scrolls, and like the other available games, this does not disappoint. Runs perfectly on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Not keen on yet again having in app purchases, but that's on me and my limited ability to be able to resist from buying anything. If you are a fan of Elder Scrolls titles, I'd suggest trying it, it's free to play, after all. It is also the only Bethesda game I've not actually been able to cause system meltdown in.. yet.. I miss that, "computer says no."
noname804646, the 12/09/2025

________________________________________________

A perfect mobile blend of Oblivion and Skyrim. It's got monsters from both games, familiar voice actors, PvP arena fights, and settlement building. (My main problem is that it crashes a LOT in cave dungeons featuring a ton of crystals. I think the crystals, pretty as they may be for background decoration, are overloading it and causing the game to close out. Same deal in Ayleid ruins, only slightly less often.)
noname57247, the 12/09/2025

________________________________________________

When people said they want mobile games, they meant video games to play on phone, not some silly trope. i play in landscape mode with visible joysticks: the right stick should not move unless i move my finger on the screen. Even if my finger is idly on the screen there should be no movement whatsoever. Why would you implement digital stick drift on a joystick? Do you not make video games? And i dont want "swipe to attack". No, lemme have a button to attack, no auto attack either. seriously ?
noname782171, the 12/09/2025

________________________________________________

One of few games that can give me that classic and authentic feeling. Has everything a fantasy work needs to have. Spells, potions, storyline, crafting and economy etc. I have to highlight the unique combat system and especially the music. Also the locations which does not seem repetetive at all and bring wonder. there are few details that could be done, like restarting progress, changing avatar etc.
noname651375, the 12/09/2025

________________________________________________

Graphically it was pretty good for a mobile game. The combat and controls are clunky and annoying, and ruined the experience for me. I understand controls are hard to make, especially on mobile, but they just made it hard to play. The loading times are pretty bad, and by the time the game let me in, I didn't wanna play anymore. It's also just kinda boring. I had my hopes up for like a small pocket skyrim or oblivion, and I guess that's a bit too optimistic, but I was disappointed by this game.
noname40911, the 12/09/2025

________________________________________________

One of the better mobile games I have played. It is heavily inspired by The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. It has a heavy focus on exploring delves, and has some more modern features like settlement development a la Fallout 4. The combat is simplified a bit to be more touch friendly, but is still very active. It has extensive control options, able to be played in a click to move or traditional joystick mode, or combinations of the two. The business model seems fair and unintrusive.
noname743604, the 12/09/2025

________________________________________________

So I've been playing this game for a couple days and I think it's a pretty amazing game for mobile. Quests are fun, has good progression and everything. The only problem is now when I'm in my town, nothing is showing up. I can still talk to people and craft and whatnot, but I can't access my character inventory, can't finish buildings or anything. All the buttons just disappeared. It would be great if you guys could fix this bug so I can continue playing.
noname430541, the 12/09/2025

________________________________________________

I think overall it can become a good game. I do have a problem with how long it takes to block an attack right after I attack alot of times it leads to me taking damage that I could've blocked. At least once a day when I open the game it starts me at the very beginning and I have to completely close the app and reopen. After that I have to wait even longer to get it load so that I can play.
noname845436, the 12/09/2025

________________________________________________

I enjoy the gameplay in this game. I also enjoy building up the town. I do not enjoy how every chest you open, gear you craft or town building you make has a long window you have to wait for to use the item. realistically speaking, it's very disruptive of game play when you have to go "oh I guess I'll set my phone down now while I wait for the town smithy to finish or my armor to craft." Of course for some real world currency you can speed up those times.
noname871308, the 12/09/2025

________________________________________________

I love this game, and its still in beta as well! I just have a couple complaints... Why can't we open multiple chests (like 3 at least) at the same time? Also why cant we do the same with the smithy (but not at the same time, rather have it in queue). Other than that, I havent been forced to make any purchases to further advance the game yet, just optional purchaces to speed some things up.
noname279165, the 12/09/2025

________________________________________________

Gameplay is fun and game runs well. Nice graphics. I like the premise and would love to play a version of this on Switch without all the cash shop and timer garbage. I get that this is the model for ftp games, but it's a real shame it has to be this way. Lots of timers, grind and an intrusive cash shop ruin the experience. Game difficulty does not scale well and becomes an absurd grind as you progress. Fun for the first 20 levels.
noname562980, the 12/09/2025

________________________________________________

What's with the vendors only having so much cash? I need to sell items but can't, I need gold and can't get enough, my inventory is maxed out, so I'm just waiting. At a certain point, you end up with more than enough building materials and not enough money. So you have to scrounge along, waiting, or salvaging an item at a time, it's really slow. I can put maybe 20 min at a time into it and then wait a whole day.
noname473050, the 12/09/2025

________________________________________________

Revision I like the game but I spend most days unable to play, I can't get past the loading screen . With Glitchy gameplay time to time and inability to load the other half makes keeping this game on my phone a hard sale. I really enjoy playing it when things are running smoothly. I don't expect it to be just like the console and pc games because lets face it phones and tablets have many limitations. Please work on the issues this game has, from the reviews many feel the same.
noname543194, the 12/09/2025

________________________________________________

Garbage. If you expected an Elder Scrolls like game, you will be dissapointed. This game shouldn't even be called "Elder Scrolls...." . 0 interesting mechanics, 0 exploring, depth of the game is as deep as a puddle, 0 variety, 0 outside of combat interaction skills and the list goes on. Linear, repetitive, completely random difficulty system - sometimes 2 star dungeons can be harder than 3 or 4 star dungeons. Graphics are good, but the performance is at times, not stable. It can stutter and lag
