For those unfamiliar, The Elder Scrolls: Legends is a game that has staked its reputation on being a hybrid of sorts - the same flash and nostalgia that fuels some of Hearthstone 's biggest moments with gameplay that is more closely aligned with Magic: the Gathering 's complicated, chess-like matches. That's been Legends ' selling point since day one, and it has definitely lived up to the billing, as its gameplay offers refreshing depth while still delivering an epic feel


Borderlands Legends brings back the cast of the original Borderlands - Mordecai, Lilith, Brick and Roland - in a wave-based shooter. Missions are randomized, characters can be leveled up, and players will be able to take advantage of a "strategic cover system."

The Brady Games Borderlands 2 Digital Strategy Guide is responsible for blowing the cover off Borderlands Legends . An advertisement for Legends appears in the guide, and a copy of the ad made its way to the Borderlands 2 forums, though the post has apparently been deleted. No matter - images of the add itself are currently all over the net. Check it out be

In addition to the narrative, the campaign mode also provides a cool level up mechanic.

For those unfamiliar with the project, Elder Scrolls: Legends is a digital collectible card game that takes place, you guessed it, in the Elder Scrolls universe.

It may be a mobile game, but this is still Borderlands , and that means one thing above all others: there will be lots and lots and lots of guns. The Legends ad promises "thousands of different weapons," which is well short of the "bazillions of guns" touted by the Borderlands 2 launch trailer , but should be more than sufficient to get the job done. How those weapons are acquired, though, appears to be somewhat different than in the console games. The ad notes that players can "collect in-game cash by destroying enemies and purchase new weapons." Does that mean that there won't be any random loot drops or chests to scour? It might. It might also be a clue that that players can get right to the good stuff via in-app purcha


The Elder Scrolls: Legends has been successful enough to warrant a major expansion, at least, and that's what gamers got when Heroes of Skyrim released late last month. The world of Skyrim was seen by fans as the most obvious inclusion for an expansion down the road, and Bethesda delivered early - but was it the right time, and has the game improved as a res
