  • aggressive microtransactions

    Way worse than Fallout Shelter when it comes to monetisation. After first few levels, every other level-up reward is behind a subscription paywall.
    Store has a constant notification that I can't get to go away.
    I like to toss a few bucks at an enjoyable game, but not when there's this much pressure to do so.
    The gameplay is moderately fun, but doesn't compete with normal paid games.
  • Micro-transactions

    I have played the game for a grand total of 20 minutes and have been asked to make a purchase to progress the game further every minute that I’ve played. I would be more lenient about it if it was more like fallout shelter and only made you spend money if you wanted to drastically speed things up, but there is a level tree that requires you to pay in order to unlock certain rewards.

    I was hoping for a light and entertaining idle game, but it’s turning out to be be another shameless Bethesda cash grab.
  • Fun, but the micro transactions are too in your face

    The game has a fun core gameplay loop, but it’s ruined by most of your level up rewards being locked behind not only a paywall, but a subscription paywall. On top of that, every now and then, when you advance in some way, you’re given a pop-up ad to buy some $5 pack in shop. Probably won’t play it if it’s not toned down.
  • Wonderful Job!

    I love this game so far and was overjoyed when I saw it downloaded onto my phone. Upon playing it, it is exactly what I expected and honestly really wanted it to be! I still don’t know how to use gems yet but I’ll figure that out at some point I’m sure! Good work you guys, keep it up and don’t turn this into a cash grab!
  • Just a reskin of fallout shelter

    There is very limited elder scrolls lore in this game. Apart from the races and them mentioning the gods’ names there is nothing that makes this game elder scrolls.

    The other subjects creating a threat to the throne is a really nice concept. And the main new feature it adds is decision making which is also cool and really fun. However I think it could benefit from not telling you what the results of each decision are and letting you explore the consequences for yourself, the same way Skyrim does.

    I just feel it needs more actual lore from the elder scrolls if that’s the skin it is sold under. Ie. we don’t even know the location of this castle.
  • Addicting ⁉️⁉️

    I have never really made one of these before but I just spent the last like three hours playing this game. No bugs, no glitches, nothing!! Super fun to play imo, and I accidentally killed my king at the beginning…but it worked out in the end!! Love the game!!
  • Pre-saved and not disappointed

    Had it auto downloaded as soon as it released and I can say it’s one of the first games that is super enjoyable and bug-less in its early stages!

    Looking forward to the future of this game!
  • In love already

    Such a cute game! I love Bethesda, so I'm bias, and I had high hopes. You are building up your castle as the ruler and the people will come up to you and you get to pick from three choices and really rule how you want and some choices even affect your villagers moods. You can also marry villagers at the temple of Mara which is so freakin cute! You can also make them have children, which helps you get more workers when they grow up. Under each character is basically a social/ family tree. The character bios even have their closest friend highlighted. First night playing but overall, really enjoying my time. I look forward to growing my castle further. ^-^
  • <3

    So far the game is great! I’ve been waiting for it to come out for so long. I liked fallout shelter but not a huge fan of the fallout games themselves so I’ve been excited for this since I love the elder scrolls games! Not a whole lot of depth to it but making rulings is a fun mechanic! The prices for the store are a bit steep and after awhile you have to pay to get your level up rewards which is a bit dumb, but not egregious enough for me to stop playing. Hope more updates come!
  • Chefs Uniform

    Hi! Since this game JUST came out, there isn’t a lot of place i can ask this, but is it possible to get an item again if you accidentally sell it? I was trying to figure out how to equip an outfit for my quest and i accidentally sold my chefs uniform which i need to level up. I really hope someone can answer my question, really liking the game so far but im just not sure how id get that item again.
