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.
Rule over your subjects and grow your dynasty in Castles.

I played fallout shelter for a couple of years on a daily basis (on&off), probably THE best mobile game ever created. I was so hyped and preregistered, but Castles lacks everything - the only positive are the fun character traits and the ok graphics. Otherwise, it's boring and repetitive. Most of the time you're waiting for stuff to finish. Running short on ressources or failing at something because paywall. I'm ok with supporting devs and studios but castles' monetizing strategy is disgusting.

So it is now after the BETA and I have a few good things and bad things about the game. Good: -the game is quick to pickup snd enjoy! it's very user friendly and doesn't have many crashes. -progression is quick once you put a few days in. Bad: -time is ALWAYS passing. this is actually a bad thing in my opinion. it causes all of your good characters to die if you put the game down for a few months or weeks. -building is kinda bad because you can't build the same room without RMTs.

All gimmick, no game. This title is designed to persistently drain your wallet. In game purchases die or are consumed, their annual "dragon pass" doesn't remove ads, there is no automatic resource gathering. It is a reskin of the fallout shelter game that will quickly become a full time job. Bethesda should be ashamed, but then again, they sold horse armor. This is worse, purposefully designed for monetization and time consumption to the point that the main game that does exist can't be enjoyed
