Our verdict
Battlespire is a curiosity for Elder Scrolls fans.
An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire is a 1997 action RPG from Bethesda Softworks and a spin-off from The Elder Scrolls. You’re an apprentice battlemage who arrives at the Battlespire training facility to find it invaded by Daedra.
Gameplay
The game is more focused than the main series:
- Character creation: Build a character with Elder Scrolls-style skills.
- Combat: Fight Daedra in the first person.
- Dialogue: Talk with, bribe or threaten Daedra.
- Multiplayer: Includes multiplayer modes.
It’s a dungeon-focused game rather than an open world.
Verdict
Battlespire is an interesting but flawed Elder Scrolls spin-off. It has a strong setting, but it’s buggy and confusing.
The Good
- Interesting Daedric setting
- Deep character creation
- Multiplayer
- Varied Daedra
The Bad
- Buggy
- Confusing level design
- Dated engine
