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?

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sorcerer #1 at none against The Elder Scrolls's 39. Sorcerer #1 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (75% vs 49%). The Elder Scrolls's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 8). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Elder Scrolls sells 39 one-off in-app purchases. Sorcerer #1 asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Sorcerer #1 against 4.6 for The Elder Scrolls. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Elder Scrolls has 13K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Sorcerer #1's written reviews are positive against 49% of The Elder Scrolls's.
Sorcerer #1 ships an update every 3 weeks, The Elder Scrolls every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
