Battlespire is something of a far cry from other entries into the Elder Scrolls series. Unlike Arena or Daggerfall, or later games in the series, Battlespire is mainly a dungeon crawl with a healthy dose of RPG elements. Positives: Great dialogue Decent combat Strong character creator Decent variety of enemies and environments Sense of accomplishment and achievement Negatives: Plenty of bugs Horrendously difficult Useless stealth/magic (aside from healing) Items look almost identical (iron sword looks exactly like Daedric sword) Verdict: If you like older Elder Scrolls games, you may be surprised at how quirky and fun Battlespire can be, but bugs are common and difficulty higher than any other ES game. If you're not a hardcore fan or the series, or have much experience with older, more difficult games, then you may be better off giving this a miss.
