I played this game for hundreds of hours back in the Dire Wolf Digital days. It was the first card game I really got into, and was fantastic in every way. I'll always remember the sleepless nights playing my theme decks. This game definitely had a role in turning me into a bit of a card gamer, making me branch out into MTG, and now the FFTCG. So sad to know that its final day is tomorrow, just wish there could at least be an offline version for all the single-player stuff like the stories.

This is one of the greatest games ever made, and it has touched my life in innumerable ways. It revived my love of card games and further deepened my love of The Elder Scrolls universe. My boyfriend and I first got into this game a few years after launch, and now, after years of playing and thousands of hours sunk in, he's now my husband and our love for the game has not waned. The joy that playing this game daily has brought to our lives can not be overstated, and it is sad to see it go. A formidable display to all of you Legends, and may your road lead you to warm sands. ^^

I love The Elder Scrolls Legends so much that it's been my number one played game for years now. I'm a huge TES fan and this is one of very few card games I enjoy but I absolutely enjoy it. I've always loved playing this game with friends and I would tirelessly try and climb the ranks every month, landing the top Legend rank a handful of times. It breaks my heart to see this game discontinued and the years I've spent crafting decks, playing with friends, and all of the awesome lore that comes from this game. I really hope the game gets revived somehow and my heart is honestly so shattered knowing not even offline play will be preserved when the servers are gone. This game meant everything to me and I absolutely mean that. The fan base is small but so incredibly dedicated and I've had so many fun experiences in offical and fan-made tournaments.

my very first card game, and surely the best, this game instilled in me all my understanding of internet community and i grew with it. the universe i'ts based on is one of the most compelling and the atmosphere that provides no other game of the genre managed to recreate. in spite of its publisher, this game is amazing, with all its quirks and memes, an absolute blast to enjoy no matter the type of match you're in, and the solo story mode is also so unique and beautiful to partake, a truly masterpiece in worldbuilding, this game adds so much to the franchise, something i don't think any card game ever came close to do. i truly wish this piece of my life stays alive forever

This is the most brilliant CCG (and I dare say, card game overall) I've ever played, and it still is, even without having updates in years. It is really sad that it is shutting down, since the community is still active and passionate for it. It would really be a dream come true if it was saved and returned to us! Hope is the last weapon we all have!

As a card game fan (Yugioh player) and Elder Scrolls fan, this game was a dream come true when it was announced, and its full release coincided with a time in my life where I really needed it. Sure enough, it has been a staple pastime for me for the past 8 years. The game design is truly phenomenal. I've had so much fun building and perfecting a wide array of quirky decks, as well as grinding the ranked ladder and weekly events. The artwork is beautiful, the voice-overs and VFX are charming, and the soundtrack is incredible. The single-player campaigns are amazing games in their own right that add exciting new stories to the Elder Scrolls universe. The card pool even made me more curious about lore I was not previously aware of. It was just an experience that kept on giving. Despite being in maintenance mode for several years with no new updates, I would frequently come back to try out a new deck or perfect an old favourite, and never failed to find a match-up; a true testament to the game's superb design. It's a shame we'll never know what new cards and balance tweaks the developers had in store, but I'd be content with just being able to revisit the game as it was left for years to come.
Loved the game, but they shut it down. It really had a lot of potential and they threw it away. Would love to see this game preserved in some way. I already miss playing it.

C'est, e loin, le meilleur jeu de cartes en ligne auquel j'aie joué. Pourquoi les jeux bien faits et intelligents sont-ils retirés alors que d'autres, tout à fait médiocres, semblent perdurer ? Son originalité consistait pour moi dans la multitude des stratégies différentes pouvant être adoptées et dans la variété des confrontations possibles de decks très différents, ce qui créait souvent des situations inattendues et originales d'un point de vue tactique. J'aurais été prêt à payer pour ce jeu afin de continuer à y jouer, mais on ne nous laisse pas le choix... Le mode "puzzle" était, lui aussi, excellent. Je ne vois pas comment je vais pouvoir "remplacer" ce jeu par un autre similaire... car il n'y en a pas d'autres qui soient à sa hauteur !

This is the best card game I ever played. Whenever I would quit other games I would always come back to TESL to play. The gameplay is amazing and the kind of combo's you can pull off is so fun. I wish someone would revive this game soon!

Ascendancy
AscendancyAscendancy is similar to, but nevertheless very different from, Master of Orion. You play one of many races, each with a special ability and special character traits, who set off to explore space, erect colonies (which can each have individual purposes, depending on their raw materials) and engage in battles when you clash with others who have the same goals. Weapons on the ships use power, which has to be supplied somehow. This game introduces many original concepts, such as the Research Tree - a special scientific display in which discoveries are depicted as icons connected by lines to the "parent" technological breakthroughs and "child" ones, similar to the technology advances in Civilization, but presented in a much more visual way.

The Lost Vikings
The Lost VikingsThe Lost Vikings is a puzzle-platform video game developed by Silicon & Synapse (now Blizzard Entertainment) and published by Interplay. The game features infinite opportunities of retries in case the player loses one of the Vikings. In 2015, The Lost Vikings were added as a playable hero in Heroes of the Storm, allowing players to control the three Vikings as individual units, making a unique departure from the typical heroes available. Character abilities: All three Vikings (Erik, Baleog and Olaf) have three health points which they can lose by getting hurt by enemies or by falling from great heights, and the ability to carry and use items, mainly keys, bombs, and food (which restore health points). Each of the Vikings has a unique set of abilities: Erik can run faster than the other two, can jump, and can bash through some walls (and enemies) with his helmet. Baleog can kill enemies with his sword, or from a distance with his bow (and a "life-time supply of arrows"). The bow can also be used to hit switches from a distance. Olaf can block enemies and their projectiles with his shield, and use his shield as a hang glider. Olaf's shield can also be used as a stepping stone for Erik to enable him to reach higher ground, which would not be possible without the shield.

Lost Odyssey
Lost OdysseyLost Odyssey is set in a world in which a "Magic-Industrial Revolution" is taking place. While magic energy existed in all living creatures beforehand, it suddenly became far more powerful thirty years before the beginning of the game. Because of this, it has affected society greatly, with devices called "Magic Engines" harnessing this power for lighting, automobiles, communication, and robots, among other uses. While previously only a select few could wield magic, many magicians gained the ability. However, such progress has also caused two nations to develop new and more powerful weapons of mass destruction. The kingdom of Gohtza and the Republic of Uhra (which recently converted from a monarchy). Uhra is building Grand Staff, a gigantic magic engine, while the heavily industrialized Gohtza actively pursues magic research of their own. A third nation, the Free Ocean State of Numara, remains isolated and neutral, though it is falling into disarray due to a general attempting to stage a coup d'etat. Uhra, at war with Khent, a nation of beastmen, sends its forces to the Highlands of Wohl for a decisive battle at the start of the game.
