About The Elder Scrolls Castles' gameplay

Castles is a spiritual successor to Bethesda’s well-received title, Fallout Shelter, where players serve as the Hand of the King. Their responsibility is to manage the castle by deciding the best course of action. For instance, an NPC might come to the players with concerns or problems. One must provide a better solution to handle the situation and make subjects happy.

Players can choose the rulers and customize their castles by building workstations, rooms, kitchens, and more. One can edit their castle’s layout anytime and add decorations to make their castle look appealing.

Besides building and managing castles, players can venture to the outside world and gather new resources, gears, and items. The outside world is rampant with classic Elder Scrolls creatures. One can send their subjects to slay them and earn various rewards. The title also features a roguelike mode, which pits players against waves of enemies with increasing difficulties and better rewards.
