About this game

From Bethesda Game Studios, the award-winning developer behind Skyrim and Fallout Shelter, comes The Elder Scrolls: Castles – a new mobile game that puts you in control of your very own castle and dynasty. Oversee your subjects as the years come and go, families grow, and new rulers take the throne.

BUILD YOUR DYNASTY

Tell your story for generations - each day in real life covers the span of an entire year in The Elder Scrolls: Castles. Train your subjects, name heirs, and maintain order to help your kingdom flourish. Will you keep your subjects happy and ensure a long life for their ruler? Or will they grow discontent and plot assassination?

MANAGE YOUR CASTLE

Customize your castle from the ground up, adding and expanding rooms, placing lavish decorations and inspirational monuments, and even assign subjects to workstations to ensure your castle has the resources to thrive for years to come!

RULE YOUR KINGDOM

Make key decisions that impact your legacy. Will you risk a limited supply of food to aid a neighboring kingdom? How should a heated spat between your subjects be settled? Your choices determine if your rule will inspire prosperity or lead your castle to peril.

COMPLETE EPIC QUESTS

Create heroes, equip them with epic gear, and send them to battle against classic Elder Scrolls foes to collect valuable items and keep your kingdom growing.

Great translation of the Fallout Shelter formula onto TES universe. But it is clunkier to the touch, slower, and freezes sometimes without explanation on level up menus. It can be difficult to pick up npcs & drag them onto another room, & with construction's blueprints, I always have to drag them at least twice. It also feels slow to the touch & very clunky, with lots of camera zoom in/out, lots of pop up screens & VERY annoying on the lootbox front, asking me to buy stuff all the time. Shame.

So they game is very fun and enjoyable imo. Not their beat work, nowhere near the level of fallout shelter. But it is good fun for an ES nerd like me. However, I must say the trend of improvement and upgrading completely plateus when you get to around quest 100. I haven't been able to progress the quests due to underpowered characters, yet I can't improve them because I need quest rewards to do so. Because of this, im finding it very hard to enjoy any form of gameplay loop. Please fix this.

To be honest, a little boring. I've been playing since launch. Now all I really do is collect resources and do a couple of quests (which are repetitive and dull) until my fighters have low health, then send them to the buffet room to replenish it. Many elements to the game just feel incomplete and hollow. Also, it's annoying when a ruler you like is murdered over some petty castle argument.
