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.

It's a fun game with a great concept. However the game is constantly freezing/ bugging out. I know it brand new, but it usually happens when I press on the rulers cards it glitches like it's frozen. It has also happened when adventuring on the map and on the opening loading screen. These are the 3 most common glitch areas but it also comes along randomly. Besides that, the game is fun to play. Too bad you can't play it for too long until the game freezes and you need to restart it.

Positives: It's easy to dip in and out of. No need to pay for extras. Events and rewards from watching ads are worth it. Negatives: Huge battery drain, causes my phone to heat up. The aging system means you can have children but also that your characters die off after a couple of months. A potion of youth would easily fix this. It's too easy to select and move characters when panning around the castle. Having to double click to select characters would easily fix this.

Really enjoying playing this, it is like an improved Fallout Shelters game. Keeping your subjects, and each race happy can be challenging and they even have some events that can impact materials you need, and moods. You can assign everyone a job, their attributes are best suited to different ones, like in Fallout Shelter. And you can go on adventures too. The only thing I dislike is that the pass is £4.99 for 7 days, or £14.99 for 30 days which I feel is way overpriced for this type of game.
