Upgrade gear 3 times so I have to craft them 6 times at 5 min a piece while starving 10/10

Not into the combat

I know I’m in the minority but I think the combat just really breaks the flow for me. I don’t want to be forced to do some battles. I enjoy the casual play then suddenly I have to do some battle just to progress further. It’s be nice if it was optional or even totally able to just turn off completely. But optional of bypassing and just doing the main core loop would be nice. At the moment I want to play the game because I enjoy it but I dread having to do some battle I really couldn’t care less about. I know I’m in the minority but it’s just my preference

OMG BABIES

Please do something About child management

High in potential

This reminds me of fallout shelter a lot, with gorgeous artwork and settlement management mechanics. No forced ads so thats a huge plus. The only reason I give it 4 stars and not 5 is because i feel like it can do a little bit better on the complexity and story line. Around level 25, growth slows down a lot,and the game just becomes quite repetitive. I’d love to see more fantasy features with choices. Some more adventure and definitely more rooms! Give me a potions room, a library with lore, something to collect and hunt for. So much potential here!

Great game

Nice thing to do when idling about.

Ps. Wish there was a way to divorce npcs

Bethesda Hasn’t Disappointed Me

I’ve played Fallout Shelter since its release in 2015 and have loved every moment playing it. I won’t say it’s better than FS but this one is so much fun and much more detailed. No ads and I will always appreciate these developers that care about making their consumers happy. There’s many aspects to the game and I’m enjoying it throughly!

Meh, Low effort

As of right now the game crashes a lot
Even for others I know.

Game really pushes for you to buy stuff with the store that funny enough isn’t really any better or different than the normal stuff
Like just slightly retextured
Armors not even
There is no variety just color difference
People aren’t wearing even close to their lore Armor/outfits

I could go on
It’s just so low effort comparatively and this games been out on android for awhile

It just breathes crash grab off the elder scrolls name

That of which I have spent cash already /:
And Fallout Shelter had way more variety upon release and a longer end game
I’m level 45 already
But nothing is different
Like I said, All the same stuff
Just Oh it’s “Steel” “is basic iron sword”
Oh it’s dawnguard armor
“Level 1 toolmaker outfit”

2 years later
Game never really improved
Devs practically abandoned the game like I said clear cash grab off the elder scrolls name
Hasn’t been updated in almost a year now. Same treatment they gave Blades and well they shut down that game.

Castles Review

Great game if you’re an elder scrolls fan, not terribly deep but good for what it is

i love this game

very fun to play. this is more like what i wanted fallout shelter to be. wish there was a family tree where you can track who is related to who

UPDATE THE GAME

It’s good game just to the same thing yall did with he fallout shelter

Like Fallout Shelter but for TES

Its a cute little game, I can definitely see myself spending a lot of time on it as a major fan of The Elder Scrolls series.

Please make more cards

It’s a great game but now it’s so repetitive

Gay

I played for 5 minutes and saw a khajit sexually assault my elder, deleted the game immediately

Biggest waste of time ever!

Find something worth playing!

Please Add Chinese Localization to The Elder Scrolls: Castles

I really enjoy this game and would love to keep playing, but the lack of Chinese localization makes the ruling system very difficult to enjoy. Since rulings require understanding detailed dialogue and consequences, language support is especially important in this game. Please consider adding Simplified and Traditional Chinese. I would gladly continue playing if Chinese localization were added.

DEI slop and racist game

Right off the get go, we’re crammed down our throats with DEI gaming decisions for picking our castle ruler. You get 4 options, from best to worst. A redguard (black male) that’s highly spoken of, a strong willed female with head garb, an emotional female kajiit, and a “volatile” white ruthless nord. The subliminal messaging of these developers is disgusting to include this into the game so strongly, especially right out of the gate.

Take this garbage out already.

Cool concept, needs rebalancing

First off this is not a reskin of Fallout Shelters, which I think deserves tons of credit and props. That said, they should’ve copied Fallout Shelters a little bit more than they did.
Income desperately needs to be rebalanced. Most rulings either cause problems (upset a subject or start a longer bad arc) or they cost gold. Upgrading tools costs more copies of that tool plus gold. Upgrading rooms costs a mill resource plus gold. That all might be okay, but you only earn a significant amount of gold from orders, which still isn’t enough to keep up (not to mention that orders are often for resources you need for other things)
The personality trait feature is unique, but it makes things way more complicated to optimize. Leveled skills would be a much more straightforward mechanic.
I get the impression that this game was trying to be more story driven which I think is great, but the resource demands are so high that it pushes the player to treat the game like an optimization problem, which often feels like fighting against the game. Subjects unpredictably start interpersonal conflict or friendship, which would be fun if either (1) it didn’t have such a massive impact on resource production or (2) if resource production weren’t such an integral part of the game.
I do like the game and I think it has potential to be super fun, but I think it needs to be rebalanced to get there

Issues

There is no option to log into it with my other Account because it just got me a new game

This game is pretty boring

Someone probably enjoys tapping things in order, and waiting for things so they can build and upgrade stuff. It's boring and slow. Not for me. I'm sure fans of this sort of game will love, I only gave it a try because there hasn't been an Elder Scrolls game in a long time. Within 20 minutes I was over it.

Like the game but it has issues

only having second workstations be attainable through getting quartz is really frustrating when balancing between the slow aging process + making babies. I understand that they are trying to make this separate game from fallout but having the aspect of buying new machines at an increased price w new villagers stopping buy could easily fix the of accidentally making way to many kids.

That or kids should age into adults faster. The aging for children is way to slow and it’s super easy to over compensate for forgetting to make them.

I also wish I got more people fleeing from other villages into mine, it would make the world outside of my castle feel more alive and less staged. (Maybe give options &repercussions to reject curtain people?) and we absolutely need more then 1 file.

anyway, I like the game, hope it gets some updates that fixes these issues.
