Gameplay

The Elder Scrolls: Blades is an action role-playing game played from a first-person perspective.[3] The game was designed specifically for mobile devices and features touch-screen combat that involves tapping, swiping, or using virtual dual-stick controls.[3][4][5] Combat includes using melee weapons, magic spells, and ranged attacks.[3] The game features dungeons that are both hand-crafted by designers and procedurally generated.[3] Players can customize and level up their characters to enhance their abilities.[3][4]

Blades features three main game modes: Abyss, Arena, and Town. Abyss offers a roguelike experience in which the player must attempt to get as far as possible in an endless dungeon. Arena is a player versus player multiplayer mode in which two players battle against each other.[5] Town is the game's main mode, which is a hub area where the player can progress the story, receive quests and meet non-player characters (NPCs).[5][4] The player's hub town initially starts destroyed and they are tasked with rebuilding and upgrading it, which consequently unlocks more quests and NPCs.[5] Players can visit their friends' hub towns.[4]

On mobile devices, the game can be played in either landscape or portrait mode.[4]
