Description

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.

Disappointing

Could be a fun game but it’s plagued by connectivity issues. They happen between 1-10 minutes of playing and are very consistent at that, making you reload the game every time. On top op that, you have to sign up to their website to contact support, therefore I can’t recommend this game to anyone.

Extremely hostile privacy practices

Does not allow easy opt-out of targeted advertising but instead requires an email to be sent to some random address? Yeah sorry but I think that might even be legally very questionable in the EU, but even so it tells me all I need to know about this game so it’s a hard pass. Probably the hardest pass I’ve ever had.

Besides having a step-by-step forced tutorial sequence killed all interest I might have had left towards the game.

Stop making dumb design choices. And fix your damn privacy practices. Respect your damn audience more and do the whole scummy corporation routine less.
