    The Elder Scrolls: Castles is a fantastical kingdom management sim in which you'll build your castle, send adventurers on quests, and make royal decisions that will affect your subject's loyalty and happiness.

    Bethesda hits the mark again with another mobile production after Fallout Shelter: The Elder Scrolls Castles is an excellent management game focused on the lore of the famous fantasy series, capable of keeping us busy for a long time.

    The Elder Scrolls: Castles provides an addictive gameplay experience once you give it some time. The game has great potential and needs to work on its downsides.

    The Elder Scrolls: Castles promises to put you in charge of your own castle and dynasty, and it certainly does, but managing your subjects, making rulings, crafting gear, and venturing outside to fight only to do all of the above again and again and again makes the new Elder Scrolls title lose its sheen sooner rather than later.

    Your castle itself may look unique, as you build eccentrically-shaped rooms and staircases, but your courtiers look like Wii-era Miis, and the fundamentally uncreative nature of its gameplay makes it a depressingly pedestrian experience.
