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.

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.

I absolutely love this game! I was having issues with the game glitching and crashing. I went to the help article and did all the steps. I ended up just restarting my castle and that seemed to fix the issue. This game is very thought out and the story is so interesting! I love that the people can get married and have families, but I was more impressed how they have their own relationships with each other. It feels so much more real than any other game like this I've played! Great work, devs!

More complex or at least with a different focus than Fallout Shelter, but where Shelter did have some microtransactions for "lunchboxes" (loot boxes), it didn't push them very aggressively. Castles on the other hand is full of in-game ads for lootboxes, premium NPCs (which will die of old age anyway!), season passes, and other stuff. It's very in-your-face and off-putting.
