Description

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.

Good, but only 1 file?

Similar to Fallout Shelter but with enough differences to make it stand out. If you like Fallout Shelter, you’ll probably enjoy this. That being said, I do have one requests for them to add in the future:

The ability to have 3 save files just like in Fallout Shelter. I want to challenge myself by making a city with just Bretons or just Elves or example. Also a way to delete your save file on iPad (the device I’m playing on), though I imagine that’ll be part of the former request.

Addicted but add more stuff to do!

I love this game, but would love to see more stuff to do. I’ve been playing for months now but feel like I’ve barely gotten to expand my castle because there’s not enough different types of rooms or crafting stations. Needs some more stuff! But otherwise a very fun and addicting game, with no ads unless you choose to watch them which is rare to see in mobile games nowadays.

Disappointed

I’m a big fan of Fallout shelter, but I’m extremely disappointed that you need to be online in order to play this game. Why ? I love to play FS when I’m in a plane and I was hoping to do the same with this one. The micro transaction presentation is also way too agressive compared to FS, it’s a very unpleasant experience . And I’m not against that, I’ve bought quite a few item for FS but there is no way that I would do the same for this game, it’s feels too forced. It’s also making my iPhone 13 super hot, I wish we could have a no HD dezoom like for FS. Uninstalled.
