Finish a quest? Here's 10 gold and a stack of wood and HEY did you know you could buy a shiny box of random loot? Hey, listen! Wait!īut hey, I'm not here to rag on mobile games (let alone the hostile money thieving mechanics of several year old mobile games), so let's move on to the technical side of things. Elder Scrolls Blades not only has a copious amount of confusingly tiered loot boxes that cost real money, but they are thrown in your face at every opportunity. Actions like building and crafting that take too long, alternative currencies that skip these timers and unlock parts of the game (and overpowered gear) early, and yes, lootboxes. To get this out of the way, this game contains every negative mechanic found in mobile games from 2 years ago. As a long time Elder Scrolls fan, I was excited to see how they were planning on switching (ha ha) up the formula. I've been looking forward to this port ever since Bethesda announced that an enhanced version, complete with motion controls, would be coming to the Switch. This is a quick writeup and is no way intended to replace or compete with a professional, full review. Hi everyone! I've just downloaded and played the opening bits from this game.
