<\/div>\n

First there was Fallout Shelter, and now there\u2019s The Elder Scrolls: Castles. This latest mobile entry by Bethesda takes the formula laid down by Shelter and applies it to The Elder Scrolls universe.<\/p>\n

You play as a royal family who must rule their citizens for generations. Each real life day counts as a year in The Elder Scrolls: Castles, so you can quite quickly rack up a family tree.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s quite a deep experience. You train subjects to manage your castle, birth an heir that can rule your kingdom when you perish, and, most importantly, keep your subjects happy.<\/p>\n

So It\u2019s Like Fallout Shelter?<\/h2>\n

Much like Fallout Shelter, the gameplay involves building up your own building. This time it\u2019s a castle rather than a nuclear fallout shelter.<\/p>\n

In terms of gameplay, it\u2019s very similar though. You place rooms and assign your subjects to work in them, and they\u2019ll generate resources that you can use to expand your castle.<\/p>\n

These rooms include workstations, monuments, your throne room, and more. They\u2019re all lovingly-decorated so you can create a very pretty little castle.<\/p>\n

Is That a Hint of Yes, Your Majesty?<\/h2>\n

One of my favourite features of The Elder Scrolls: Castles is one that Bethesda has borrowed from Yes, Your Majesty: kingdom ruling.<\/p>\n

Your subjects will visit you in your throne room, requesting your support with various conundrums. You have to then make key decisions, which can determine your kingdom\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

Battling still plays a part in The Elder Scrolls: Castles, though not in the traditional first person Elder Scrolls fashion.<\/p>\n

You create your own heroes, equip them with gear, then send them out to battle recognisable foes from the series\u2019 history in a wide variety of quests.<\/p>\n

Where Can I Get The Elder Scrolls: Castles?<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s the sad news: The Elder Scrolls: Castles isn\u2019t fully out yet. It\u2019s available in beta, and only to a select few at the moment. You can try your hand at downloading it on Google Play<\/a> though.<\/p>\n
