The Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey is a role-playing game developed by Vir2L Studios exclusively for N-Gage.

The Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey received generally mixed reviews from critics, and holds a score of 59 on Metacritic.[5]

Avery Score of GameSpot criticized the game's controls, combat system, and short draw distance, feeling the gameplay to be "crippled" by N-Gage's technological limitations. He also dismissed the storyline as "unremarkable", but praised the game's co-op multiplayer mode and the use of the soundtrack from Morrowind.[6]
