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!

Valkyria Chronicles Remastered
Valkyria Chronicles RemasteredValkyria Chronicles is a tactical role-playing game developed and published by Sega for the PlayStation 3 in 2008. A Microsoft Windows version was released on November 11, 2014. A remastered version for PlayStation 4 was released in Japan on February 10, 2016 with a Western release planned for May 2016. Both PC and PS4 versions include previously released DLC. The game is set in fictional Europa, loosely based on Europe during the early years of World War II. Because of its abundance of Ragnite ore, which takes the place of petroleum in the game setting, the neutral nation of Gallia comes under attack from the East Europan Imperial Alliance, which is itself engaged in war with the Atlantic Federation. Players take control of a unit of the Gallian Militia, dedicated to repelling the invasion. The game's visuals, which use Sega's CANVAS graphics engine, resemble pencil drawn paintings in motion.

Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty
Dune II: The Building of a DynastyDune II is often considered the first mainstream modern real-time strategy game and established many conventions of the genre. Even though set in Frank Herbert's famous Dune universe, the game is only loosely connected to the plot of any of the books or the films based from them. Controlling either of the three Houses, the player must fight a number of battles against the other Houses. In the early levels, the goal is simply to earn a certain number of credits, while in the later missions, all enemies must be destroyed. The single resource in the game is the Spice, which must be collected by harvesters. The spice is converted to credits in a refinery, which are then spent to construct additional buildings and units. There are two terrain types: buildings can only be constructed on stone, while the Spice is only found on sand. However, units moving on sand attract the large sandworms of Dune, who are virtually indestructible and can swallow even large units whole. As levels progress, new and more advanced buildings and units are made available, including structures like a radar station, a repair facility or defense turrets and, for units, various ground troops, light vehicles and tanks. Each House can construct one unique special unit, and, after building a palace improvement, can unleash a unique palace effect.
