It thought the referring to it as Switch Blades was pretty clever

I was really hoping that this would be balanced for single player mode, microtransactions removed. I'd pay top dollar for something like that, but fuck you if you want me to buy your F2P bullshit.

You have to wait 24 hours for them to fuck you, but if you buy some gems, you can reduce the wait time...

Eh, might check it out, might as well since it's F2P.

I've playing it on and off for two months. Solid game. They just dropped a big update that adds more content and features. They do a pretty good job listening to the community.
It's a simple dungeon crawler with a town building mechanic on top and it looks and sounds like Elder Scrolls. Playing a couple of dungeons before sleep is what it's made for.

Does anyone play this game? It looks awful.

 

[JSoup]

Does anyone play this game?

No, because it doesn't work on most phones for dumb reasons and none of the promised console versions have ever been released.

 

[EverythingsOverrated]

The Elder Scrolls mobile game I want to see: basically a mix of final fantasy Crystal Chronicles my life as a king, and fallout shelter.

This, on the other hand, looks completely uninteresting to me

 

[Bigrx1]

Does anyone play this game? It looks awful.

Yes, it is indeed awful. It has that Clash Royale system where you get treasure boxes and have timers on all of them that have to countdown before you can open them and are limited to how many you can have counting down at once. But of course you can pay to have them opened sooner. And it’s pretty much terrible altogether.

I’ve played it - your hopes will be smashed
