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.

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

Too bad the name Castle Crashers is taken already cause the game crashes every 10 minutes or so, hahaha. Aside from that it's pretty enjoyable especially if you're a fan of the elder scrolls series. I was a bit disappointed that you don't have to defend your castle from attacks like the way you have to defend your vault from attacks in Fallout Shelter though.

This is a cute little game, I have liked it, however, This game feels like it's practically been on life support for years now, they haven't added any new content or elder scrolls stuff for a very long time, not even for microtransactions, and just keep rerunning the same few events, as compared to Fallout Shelter which got bits and pieces added and added from all over its games and universe. I fear that with requiring a server connection, it is soon to join Elder Scrolls Legends as lost media.
