reviews
Really nice independent management game in the series; and the Elder Scrolls universe is not forced in, it just exists. But it requires constant attention, plus daily login+microtransaction to get most out of, which is not for me. I'd give it 4 stars but I docked 1 star because game runs great on my ARM Chromebook (and phone) but a lot of people have had problems on Chromebook and now I cannot even modify my good "runs great on mine" 4 star review there to turn it into a proper review.

This game makes a fantastic job to hook you up into to the gameplay for the first 20th lvl. Then everything becomes incredibly slow... It is also extremely time consuming as you need to be in the app every 3 minutes to collect your resources. Also the "pass" is a 17 bucks montly subscription and you can only collect the 5 last premium rewards that you unlocked while leveling up thinking you ll make a bargain buying at a higher level.

Okay first of all, this is really fun. Everyone's gonna say it's a Elder Scrolls version of Fallout Shelter, which is partially true, and while that may be it is still a fun little experience at heart. Lots of leveling options, either for gear or room, could be more varieties of the different characters, and I really can only complain about the aging system. Characters live to about 80 years and then they die and you lose them forever. I would rather just have the option to keep all my subjects.

This game is amazing! I love it! It's literally fallout shelter but actually a bit better. With a new theme and game mechanics. Well worth the wait! However... Sigh... The year long wait until it was available to be played did nothing for how well the game runs. It is hamstringed by CONSTANT freezing. When I go to make a ruling. It seems the game just gives up. The animations go into a loop and I cannot do anything! I can hear the game working but the animations seem to have given up.

It's pretty much a Fallout Shelter copy u0026 paste. It's not groundbreaking or anything but it passes the time. Sometimes it can get boring and if you play for an hour or so you will definitely hit a pay wall. Not many options to watch ads for a few free items and perks. Also, it's annoying keeping up with the personal relations.. such as who is cheating on this person with so and so and all that other jargon. I don't know, maybe I just had higher expectations for an "Elder Scrolls" game.

Enjoy the game very much, but I would really like it if we could look at characters' stats when they come for a royal order, such as naming someone heir. I have to restart the app and check them out before I open the order again to see if I'd like to change the heir or not. Edit: since the Halloween update every time I try to zoom of move the camera around it lags and grabs a person and moves them out of their work station. Impossible to navigate without messing everything up.

I had to change my review from a 5 to 4. The game is honestly good, almost addictive to me personally. My only issue right now is that I can only play the game for 5ish minutes then my game starts to get all buggy and glitch. This is just a new problem too, when it first released it had never done this. I'm guessing the frames freezing and glitching has to do with the new update, but it's really making the game difficult to play and enjoy.

I like playing this game, it's fun. Similar vibes to fallout shelter (obviously) but the quests are more interactive. I wish you could have multiple different castles. Also, more people need to enter your castle from the outside world, very quickly run out of new people. There isn't as much variation in types of rooms you can build, I've got all of them quite quickly (not including the ones you can buy with premium currency). Overall I like it, would recommend.

I enjoy playing the game right now but I wish there were multiple save files like fallout shelter. I want to have a good save file making actual progress but I also want to make a world where the king is a tyrant. Edit: your ad bugs need to be fixed. I have to watch multiple ads just for it to recognize I've seen it. So one star bc it's ridiculous.

Crashes a lot, freezes a lot, jitters a lot, performance is terrible, burns up my phone so bad the OS disables charging to protect my overheated battery. I suggest you profile your app instead of telling users to troubleshoot it. That link doesn't even work! (I know perf is always backburnered because it's actually hard and doesn't make for fancy slidedecks. You're releasing new features instead and it shows.)

Not much to separate it from fallout shelter. It also has a lovely habit of freezing after 10-15 seconds. The first hour or so didn't have any issues. It's basically unplayable for me. I saw they included a link on someone else's review as to a means to maybe fix that... But as I cannot click or copy it, it's basically useless.

A great game that you can really waste hours playing. The only problem, and it's big, is that the game freezes way to much. I'm not sure why, but I have a suspicion that it's due to the online all the time requirement. So Bethesda, if you see this, maybe relax the check in time for the game or remove the always online requirements entirely. Will move it to five stars once the crashing issue is resolved.

I do like this game, the idea of what the game is supposed to be, but sadly I can not play it for more then three minutes without it freezing on me. Since I have to close out of the game and restart it I lose the ability to read whatever pros or cons for what I decide to choose. It can be very annoying and frustrating when you can only pay the game for 3 minutes at a time.

I play this game every day, and I like it a lot. I do, however, have big issues with how rare it is the get the corundum. I complete quests and all the stuff and I swear I hardly get any. So I can't upgrade my weapons or make the high up weapons I'm unlocking. I feel like I'm at a stand still barely making it thru the missions. I've even spent money on this app. It also sucks that you don't always get the best stuff with the emperors pass. Just sayinnn.

Fun game but combat is frustrating. Every quest battle has 3 optional objectives, and I'm at the point where often one of those objectives is to kill a specific unit either FIRST or LAST. This is very difficult to do with clunky targeting and enemies who bunch up. Either make it easier for players to target specific enemies, or get rid of that objective. Hoping QA or a developer sees this because it's a fun little time sink otherwise. If you liked Fallout Shelter, then you'll like this game too.

Been playing daily for maybe a month+, but now I've reached the "decoration limit" on the castle? Also, there is still more space for rooms, and MANY more levels at war table, let alone new decor to unlock yet. I'm confused by the limitation here... The Halloween update has made the sound output for the music very harsh. Still love the game and will continue playing.

Overall a really engaging game! There are just two things driving me crazy as someone who plays daily atm: #1, accidentally dragging people whenever I pan left or right or zoom the screen in or out. There needs to be a touch and hold system to grab subjects or something else that exludes normal screen touches needed to see around the castle better. Then #2, the rulings. They get extremely repetitive in a short amount of time, and Orsinium needs WAY too much help. Constantly. Please add more ????

I really really like the game but it hits a wall where it is nearly impossible to do anything useful since it's so difficult to acquire certain materials. Without the marble I can't upgrade any building to the point I'm able to produce dwarven or higher items it's super frustrating. Also orsinium needed for upgrades and orcish and above weapons/armor, and silk for anything above linen items. I've beaten all the quests with full stars and rebeaten them to the point I only am rewarded to with gold

There are many instances where the game glitched out and I have to restart. This occurs most often interfacing with the rulings action. Also: the stairs spiral the wrong way. Just as most characters in-game are right-handed, so too were IRL castle builders, who built spiral stairs favoring the defenders, which meant clockwise going up.

I really like this game so far. But I'm level 64 and I feel like after like level 30 there hasn't been anything new? It's just more of the same. Needs more new people showing up, at this point all my people have had kids with everyone they're not related to ???? pretty soon I'm not gonna be able to marry off anybody. Also a way to save multiple outfit/armor on them. Having to changing them from the work stuff to armor and back again every time is daunting. An option to choose an heir would be rad.
