the elder scrolls : castles

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.

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.

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 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.

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.)

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 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.

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.

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

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.

No intrusive ads and plays as I expected it would and expect it to. Similar to their Fallout Shelter game, also for mobile, it has enough differences to be its own thing and not just a clone. The progression system feels a little slow to me, but not so bad as to be a deal breaker.

The game was overall pretty enjoyable, but very repetitive. I played it for like two weeks straight and put some spare change into it, but it never really gave me a sense of fulfillment or accomplishment. The game would often crash for me whenever I made rulings even after following the forums recommendations, and there's no way to interact with other players really. Kind of a cash grab with all of the micro transactions but lack of the feeling of progression.

I built a mill that was upgraded quite a bit was trying to build stuff around it and accidentally deleted it. It's not in my owned area, so it's gone. I have to wait to get more resources to get back what I've already earned and upgraded. Bummer. I feel like it should've went in an inventory or something. You're allowed to remove things and if you already built and bought it, You should be able to keep it.l. Also, can't wait for more levels. Got the pass for a year and have reached the end...

A neat little game that resembles Fallout Shelter, but with a few key differences. It runs great and doesn't have many problems for a game that just released. Only things I dislike are half of the level up rewards being locked behind the subscription service, and that one poor decision can cause a subject to kill another permanently. Sometimes every option for these sorts of rulings is poor. Add the ability to resurrect them with scrolls or gems. I'd hate a legendary subject to just be deleted.

Fun. But, only for a short time. I enjoyed it for a few months. Once I got to the Silver/Linen level of production, I began to notice that additional resources acquired through only the War Table were becoming a common necessity for progress. Yet, they were scarce. It got to the point where gems were the only real way to level up anything. They give small amounts from ads. But, you'll languish forever before you can move forward. It's pretty obvious they want you to buy them. Pay-to-win.

I'm really loving this game! I'm a huge fan of Skyrim, so it's nice to see the familiar lore and characters from the game itself. It's got a lot of options to keep you occupied, and it's relatively easy to get "premium" items/objects. Also, ads are completely optional! The only thing I'd like to improve the game would be an easier mechanic for editing your castle, like in clash of clans. I like to switch things up a lot, and moving everything around piece by piece can be tedious.

Love this game, sort of! I've been a Bethesda fan since Oblivicrack was a thing. However, as with Starfield, the playability is a bit limited. I'm at level 203 with 170 subjects, and I have nothing to do. I've reached the end of the quest map, events only take me 15 minutes, I'm stuck as there's no more quests to get marble for upgrades. Sucks that I bought the year pass and now the game is pretty much done after 3ish months of play... I hope more content gets added soon!

Game is fun, very similar to Fallout Shelter with Elder Scrolls Themes, the events have been very short (1-3 days) and I usually log on every day just about to complete said tasks. I think the events should last a week before they get shelved, and the notifications aren't working either, I only get them when the game launches and once it's closed there's nothing until I open it again. Great game so far though, I got Ulfric and Ralof is my castle already.

All gimmick, no game. This title is designed to persistently drain your wallet. In game purchases die or are consumed, their annual "dragon pass" doesn't remove ads, there is no automatic resource gathering. It is a reskin of the fallout shelter game that will quickly become a full time job. Bethesda should be ashamed, but then again, they sold horse armor. This is worse, purposefully designed for monetization and time consumption to the point that the main game that does exist can't be enjoyed

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.
