About The Elder Scrolls: Arena

The Elder Scrolls: Arena plays instantly in the browser, which makes it an easy game to try and (fair warning) an easy one to lose an hour to. It keeps its rules small and its challenge honest, which is a rarer combination than it should be.

Everything runs on keyboard and mouse; give it one round and the controls disappear into muscle memory. Worst case, you lose five minutes finding out it's not for you. Best case is considerably longer.

How to Play The Elder Scrolls: Arena

Click the play button; the game loads right in the page.
Use your keyboard and mouse to control the game; the opening moments introduce the basics.
Improve run by run; the first tries are for learning the rules.

Controls: Keyboard / Mouse

Tips for The Elder Scrolls: Arena

Check the in-game options — small settings changes often make a big difference.
Fullscreen mode helps more than you'd expect; fewer distractions, better reactions.
Play your first run as a scout: learn what kills you before trying to win.
