The comparisons betweenRavensword: Shadowlandsand theElder Scrollsseries are evident in the released launch trailer. The gameplay looks very similar, with players being able to switch between first and third-person perspectives while wielding various melee and ranged weapons and spells. The trailer also showcases how the game sends players traveling across vast distances of different settings and environments, similar to how players explore the vast worlds ofElder Scrollsgames.Ravensword: Shadowlands' trailer even shows the player using various mounts like horses and dragons in a way that lookssimilar to the options inSkyrim.
The trailer also shows off a variety of different enemies that players can expect to come across inRavensword: Shadowlands,from wolves and goblins to dragons and a sewer-inhabiting giant worm.Ravensword: Shadowlandsalso features the ability for players to level up different skills as they progress through the game to tailor their playstyle to their preferences. The HUD also looks inspired by the HUD present throughout recentElder Scrollsgames, which means the title could be a great option forElder Scrollsfans that are desperately waiting formore news onElder Scrolls 6.
ForRavensword: Shadowlands’s low price point of only $6.99, players shouldn’t expect a game that is on thescale of a traditionalElder Scrollstitle, but the trailer shows off plenty that makes it look worth it for that modest price point. The Nintendo Switch also seems like a great place forRavensword: Shadowlands, as the console has become a great platform for smaller indie titles and re-releases of older games from the previous console generation. For any players who are looking for an entirely new fantasy world to explore and become familiar with,Ravensword: Shadowlandsseems like a solid option with a more than reasonable price point.
Ravensword: Shadowlandsis available now for mobile and PC, with a planned release on April 9 for PlayStation 4, Switch, and Xbox One.
