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.

I like the mix of castle building, questing, and making rulings. There is a good amount of depth to the mechanics. The outside of the castle feels totally dead. It could use decorations like people moving around, swaying trees, lights on in windows at night, some from chimneys, etc. Not a fan of the pass model. Thankfully nothing from it is super necessary to play, but it's annoying that they shove it in your face in so many ways. Not everyone has $15 /mo to spend on mobile games.

So far it's decent, a fantasy version of Fallout Shelter, almost cut and paste. Family ties matter too. However, it takes inspiration from Skyrim in that it is a buggy mess. It will often freak out and flash a menu off and on, and if you leave the app and come back, it is a black screen. If 3 is passable, this should be avoided unless a big fan or until/if it is stabilized.

Game concept is lovely, but some user experience changes are definitely needed. Trying to pan/zoom the screen? You may end up dragging one of your subjects across the castle and assigning them to the wrong station. Trying to select a station? Again you often end up selecting a subject and having to try again. Plus a few freezes, especially after making a ruling. Looking forward to improvements, but Bethesda can afford to have a more polished game at launch and should be held to that.
