TES: Legends
Release Date: March 9, 2017
A strategy card game set in the universe of a well-known RPG series that has been developed since 1994 by Bethesda Softworks. In of game mechanics, The Elder Scrolls: Legends takes after the competing Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, and the gameplay comes down to dueling with a self-built deck of cards representing heroes, equipment, spells, skills etc.
The Elder Scrolls: Legends is strategy card game, set in the universe of the iconic RPG series, launched in 1994 on PC. The title is available in a free-to-play model, and it was developed by Bethesda's in-house dev team, i.e. the developers of all previous installments of the series, including The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited, MMORPG released in 2014.
The mechanics of The Elder Scrolls: Legends are fundamentally similar to other popular card games like Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft from Blizzard, who was supposed to be the direct competitor of Bethesda's game. The main difference is that the title combines elements of narrative and characters, known from the subsequent installments of The Elder Scrolls series, such as Morrowind, Oblivion or Skyrim, as well as The Elder Scrolls Online, which gives the game a unique character.
While playing, the players build their decks of cards from heroes of various races, such as the Nords, Orcs, Khajiit, Dark Elves or Argonians, and take part in subsequent battles with artificial intelligence or other players. The main goal of the game is to eliminate the opponent by taking away all their life points. This can be achieved directly by attacking the player with the available cards, or indirectly by killing their units set up in two lines on the table. As the game progresses, we expand our deck, adjusting it to our individual style of play.
The Elder Scrolls: Legends is distinguished by several elements from the competition. First of all, we have more cards in the deck (from 50 to 70). Secondly, the games are a little longer than in Hearthstone, and the mechanic of acquiring extra cards during the loss of life points effectively blocks fast decks, aimed at winning in the first few turns. The most striking difference, however, is the division of the board into two independent rows; in addition, the cards on the right-hand row are temporarily shielded from attacks, which changes the approach to deploying creatures and forces a more tactical approach to gameplay.
Like most collectible card games, The Elder Scrolls: Legends focuses on multiplayer battles that can take place in battle mode or arena. However, for those who prefer solo gameplay, there is also an extensive story campaign, in which we are fighting with opponents controlled by AI.
The Elder Scrolls: Legends features refined, fully three-dimensional visuals, maintained in a fantasy atmosphere, well known to all fans of Bethesda's series. The control model used in the game has been developed in such a way as to work equally well on traditional mice and touch screens of mobile devices.

Game Ratings for The Elder Scrolls: Legends Video Game.
GameSpace: 9 / 10
The story is the selling point of the Brotherhood expansion. It’s on you the player to help decide the Brotherhood’s fate. Save them or help destroy them. The new cards introduced liven up the game and add more choices to it.
Quillstreak: 81 / 100 by Jordan Oloman
The Elder Scrolls Legends stands on its own two feet in the trendy genre of computer card games with its unique mechanics and consistent, surprising gameplay. If you're looking for a CCG with lore at its core and deck-building at its heart, give this free to play title a whirl.
GameCrate: 8.3 / 10 by Nate Hohl
I understand that, as a CCG fan who prefers PvE play, I am in the minority, but The Elder Scrolls: Legends has honestly been the first digital CCG that felt like it was welcoming me in with open arms instead of forcing me to either play PvP or make do with subpar alternatives. Bethesda certainly has some stiff competition going up against games like Hearthstone and CD Projekt Red's standalone Gwent game, but as far as first impressions go, I have never been more pleasantly surprised by a CCG than I was by The Elder Scrolls: Legends.
