I just deleted this last night after giving it a solid 6+ hrs. I wanted to like it and was pretty excited for it. But like you mentioned fallout shelter was so much better. Very disappointed since I really was looking forward to it.
"Let's take Fallout Shelter, dumb it down 75% then make everything such a pain in the ass to do that people will want to give us money to skip everything!" Just deleted it myself. It's been 3 days and none of my kids are adults. Do we have to wait 18 real-life days (1 day is 1 year) to increase our workforce?
@orangetaho4u207 I got only one of them in 3 days. Still doesn't change the fact that we have to wait 2 real life weeks to make any progress on a mobile game.
@PaleGhost69 I'm level 99 with a population of 145. 🤷🏻 Marry your people, make them bang, send them on quests to earn the speed up thingies. There's 1 year and instant "baby to adult" potions as well. It was a little bit of a grind to get people in all slots on workstations, but now it's just about rotating out for better nobles and equipping better gears. I've pretty much got 1 of each material coming from my noble equipment now so even if every building production was 0 I'd still create materials.
@@MintCity let me guess you only played in less than a week, then decided it wasn't for you instead of improving you whine and cry like a spoilt brat, all becoz you expected it to be a Fallout Shelter clone isn't it? You should go back and stay playing Fallout Shelter don't hate on Castles, it doesn't deserve the unwarranted hate you brats made it out to be.
And this is the reason why products of entertainment should be made as fun first, money as a consequence instead of money first and fun as a (possible) consequence.
They removed a lot of cool Fallout Shelter features. Even children appear right away from the bedroom. The woman is not even pregnant. I put 2 men into the bedroom accidentally and got a child. HOW??????? FROM WHERE?????
I heard a theory that this game would have been released long ago but work on it just stopped. Would have made sense if this was released before shelter or at the same time when shelter was in its basic form. I still play castles kind of hoping they will listen to fans and update regularly.
At least Shelter can be played completely without internet connection. This piece of Todd´s dodo won´t even start without it. The game itself is not even mediocre! One of the prime example of corporate greed.
Uh, I love this game and I'm already almost level 90. It has depth such as sub stats, breeding, racials, gear abilities, combat is much more controlled and in your face than fallout.
I showed my first 5 minutes of gameplay so that viewers can see what it looks like when you start the game. Also, you are literally the only one out of almost 2000 viewers to say they enjoyed this game. You’re entitled to your opinion but you’re the only one defending this game. lol.
That’s what I hoped this game would be. However, your experience seems to be of the minority when the vast majority of comments on this video agree with me. I think you’re the second person of around 2000 that have said they enjoy the game. You’re entitled to your opinion though! Different games for different people! It’s not that this game is necessarily “grindy”… it’s that this game takes FOREVER to do anything due to timers and IAP’s are provided to quicken or get passed them. The game simply doesn’t want you to play it. I have a full-time job, attend a masters program, and have a family as well. Time is more precious than ever and I would much rather spend it playing a game that actually wants me to play it! Ha ha. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
What is it people are trying to do quicker? I've felt pretty entertained by the game for a week. I wanna breed my legendary nobles for more, I wanna grind the dungeon for magic gears, I've got my structures all full of workers with good gear so timers are lowered. 🤷🏻What fun is a game if you're just endgame day one?
I don't understand how people expect to play a game without the forced pay walls if they want to speed things up... it's a mobile game.. what do people expect?
I've been playing for about a week. by playing, i open it before bed, click around for five minutes than close it. One thing that bothers me with it is the mating system. With FO Shelter, i could mix different dwellers but it seems with Castles, i had my queen hook up for an heir. then i got a legendary, so had her hook up with him. The first mate got pissed. While comical, it could lead to my ruler dying. So i am refraining from it in the future. I do hope the art style gets better though.
I actaully like it much more than FS. The questing system is much more involved and character dynamics are fun to keep track of. I will say though after you've figured out how to get everyone happy and have enough gold there isn't really anything to do
Been giving it a fair shot. Year 6 lvl 32. Fallout Shelter is much more enjoyable and stylish to look at. Quests are boring as hell and i havent seen any shiny loot like in fallout shelter to interact with. I cant believe anyone would buy a legendary character that will eventually die, its worse than pulling characters in a gatcha game.
I really like the game. Idk why but probably because its fantasy settings and the ruling mechanic that got me hooked up. But that doesn't mean it has its flaws, i'll list the things. •Combat is lack luster. Would be better if they did 4-5 adventurers instead of typical 3 and add unique combats like the ones in darkest dungeons or other combat style scenarios then maybe it would be unique. •Reuse and lacking unique npcs and clothes. Half of the npc look the same, can't even have unique hairs or facial features(maybe next update if there will). Same with clothing(Not counting the skins since you need to buy those). its all just recolored, not to mention the "Legendaries" aren't even unique looking •Very buggy(typical Bethesda) •Its online even tho its not multiplayer(which ik why its online) •Lacks some content(well it is new) There's alot more ik but this are the ones ill be putting for now.
Gave it a week. Progression slowed down tremendously after day 2. Resource crafting is tedious and if you want to craft clothes and tools so your castle can be more efficient, you won't be making clothes and tools to complete your dailies. Meaning you're short on gold unless you're making the more selfish decisions as king/queen. You can craft limestone to upgrade your crafting tables, but now you aren't making wood to build more rooms. You can only craft 1 mill, Smith etc at the start so you can only make 1 type of material or craft 1 item at a time. And if you're crafting steel you aren't crafting iron. Which is also an ingredient for steel tools. Of course you can pay money for extra crafting benches (6 of them for 10$ each basically.) Adventuring is extremely basic and the "challenges" often conflict with each other so you have to complete the same mission multiple times, likely wasting potions, because your adventuring gear isn't leveled up because you're focusing on upgrading your tools or clothes, or crafting stuff for your dailies. It's just a series of inconvenient timers to sell you microtransactions so you can waste less time in a game made to waste your time. The castle building is a neat idea, but you don't need anymore than 4 or 5 rooms and you have housed everything. Your ruler doesn't seem to matter much and MANY repeat events will show up when you click on the throne. They also have a "commoner/noble" system that foesnt yield into the gsme except for their respective faction. Nobles are eligible for the crown if your ruler dies and commoners can become nobles if they marry a noble. The gsme just has a million things going on that it makes the progression slow and confused.
Thanks for sharing the details of how everything grinds to a halt. It just felt like I was playing a game that didn’t want me to actually play it! Ha ha.
I pre registered for it and was pretty excited to see how they'd adapt it. Turns out it's just kinda boring. Nothing I'd call inherently wrong, just that elder scrolls has proven again it''s not the franchise for short play no story gameplay.
I played for about 5 mins and then I uninstalled it. Didn't like the UI, the "gameplay" with the card moving, the art style is rough, seen better graphics on Snake.
This is kinda different from my usual content too so I hope you enjoy the plethora of other videos I have here on the channel! Thanks for watching and commenting! The game is most definitely ass. Ha ha.
I’m a huge fan of Fallout Shelter, and I couldn’t really put in words why Elder Scrolls Castles just feels bad in comparison.
@@paendamonium ya, it looks and acts the same but feels completely different. It’s the monetization and the generic castle-management aspect, I think

@@kakichan9732 I was similar to you, honestly! I think it had potential to be good, for sure! That’s why it hurts that much more! Ha ha.
It just recently released. Then again it's Bethesda. Game might not get an update until 3months or a year

Exactly how my time with the game went. Things took so long to do compared to Fallout Shelter
There is an item they give out like candy that forwards 1 year instantly.

Of course I was negative. The cons far outweigh the pros. I’m entitled to my opinion! Ha ha.
I loved it too. It’s a mobile game, not ES 6
All I can say, don't like it, don't play it.
I agree it looks like trash, probably plays like trash too.
@@Momoka7 Yep, that’s the whole reason why I made this video.
@@MintCity Yeah, and a nice video it was. I didn't mean that this video should not have been made, it is highly informative.
@@Momoka7 thank you 🤝
I've always wanted a TES version of Fallout Shelter because I've always liked TES a lil better.
Plus it's honestly not "grindy" at all lol, within the first 6 days I was already over lvl 60 and I work a full time job and have 2 kids...😂

Lv 67+ and defeated 3 dragons (even though they're easy)
The characters look like they were made in the Xbox 360 avatar creator 🤣 Truly another AAAA game is upon us!
I don’t mind if graphics look older but this art style kinda throws me off 😅
Looks more like Nintendo mii avatars.
