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 like it so far but the performance is pretty bad, the prices for items are way too high, it's almost impossible to maintain a good ratio between commoners and nobles. I got killed 4 times already, really annoying. The amount of gold you get is also way too low. I can't build anything because i just don't have any gold most of the time. The game also runs really slow, the zooming is slow and unresponsive. And what bothers me the most is the constant begging for buying something feom the shop!!

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.

Good lord this needs A LOT of battery - drains faster than it charges on a fast charger. And it makes my device heat up like nothing else. Other than that, it's an okay game, I expected medieval Fallout Shelter and that's about what it is, with some innovations here and there. Selecting stations and subjects is tedious, as others have pointed out.
