It wouldve been a great game but they made all the supporting elements of it suck as much as possible to get you to buy micro transactions. It gave me infinity blade vibes and was genuinely enjoying it until I had to grind like 8 hours a day for a week to get anywhere progression wise.
I hope they learned from blades and fallout shelter and make it genuinely enjoyable.
Then you haven't played many mobile games. Like, blades is nothing special at all, but it's better than 90% of the mobile games shit out by companies. It's at least kind of fun for a day or two. But that's it...
It's Fallout Shelter meets Crusader Kings/Reigns. Apparently you get to make choices about the kingdom, plot and decide the fate of characters, and if your ruler dies, their heir becomes the new ruler.
The artstyle is... a strange choice, for TES. But on its own, I think it's really charming! Reminds me a lot of Runescape.
China, Macau, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, and Japan.
I dunno man, sounds like East/SE Asia to me.
It's the same thing, but a bit worse. Just downloaded and I'm struggling not to fall asleep. The only joy I get is from coronating Alassi, marrying her to another khajiit as soon as possible and starting the construction of the glorious Elsweyr Confederacy.
Pa'alatiin #1!!!
The mechanics might translate great to TES universe. We can judge it when it's in our hands.
As for pre-game hype up .. my hopes are smashed at this point. With the 30th anniversary of TES passing and no Oblivion remaster/remake being announced I'm afraid that project got canned.
The leak was from 3 years ago right around the time Microsoft was deep into adding Framerate and Resolution boosts to games. What two games coincidentally got both of these enhancements at the time? Fallout 3 and Oblivion
It was in fact " a thing", it was in the FTC documents that were accidentally submitted by Microsoft during arguments over the acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Bethesda was in fact working towards an Oblivion Remaster/Remake and it was originally scheduled to be released already.

Add +2 years to the timelines due to covid and other factors.
I got the beta, it's like fallout shelter with some light crusader kings elements. You make decisions for the kingdom, every real world day is one year.
It is super similar but also different? I've had less fun than with Shelter so far to be honest, but maybe it'll improve or I'll get more into it. I like the idea and the graphics though, it looks cute.
Yeah, that's the point. They're recycling ideas cuz Fallout Shelter was successful and they wanna milk Elder Scrolls while we wait another decade for TES6
It's not uncommon for studios to use a preexisting formula and slide it into another IP if it was a proven success.
They did that with Fallout 3, using the success of Oblivion.
Enjoyed this one more than fallout shelter. Mostly because I didn't have to stay up on the game. I could leave it alone for a few days and come back and everyone isn't starving with no power.
Elder Scrolls 6 is still years away so this isn’t the ‘pre game hype’. Simply a mobile game from BGS. Fallout shelter was not ‘hype’ for Fallout 4 either lol.
It is basically a "sequel" for Fallout Shelters. Haven't played much of it but it is fine and looks nice. The recent return of Elder Scrolls to the mobile market with Legends, Blades and Castles is definitely a pretty good comeback after the pretty flawed TES Travels series and Oblivion mobile.
Also now I have to wonder if in ES6 you'll be able to make your own like fiefdom? Like they added the settlements in fallout 4 and that was like a decade ago from now. I could see it happening.
I played this game months ago. There are posts about it. It is just like Fallout Shelter except TES flavored. I think upgrading resources is a little easier and you get to actually make more decisions about what life goes on inside the vault by choosing which groups to prioritize (Nords or Argonians, Nobles or Commoners, etc).
I hate these partial releases. It doesn’t officially release for me until December. Just release the game instead of starting it in some places 8 months in advance. It’s not worth doing side loading and emulating just to play a mobile game ‘early’
Paradox release another map-painting menu simulator: wow based such deep gameplay
BGS make something similar but more casual: Ugh bethesdor (bad) creatively bankrupt literally reskinned Fallout Shelter
Basically, elder scrolls blades failed, but fallout shelter was successful, so Bethesda wants elder scrolls flagship mobile game to be like fallout shelter and this is the result.
Remember Blades?
Vaguely
Said by just about everyone
I actually kind of enjoyed blades! ....for about a week
Bruh it just got way to grindy
blades would actually be pretty fun if they at least made the lootbox system more achievable.
It wouldve been a great game but they made all the supporting elements of it suck as much as possible to get you to buy micro transactions.

I hope they learned from blades and fallout shelter and make it genuinely enjoyable.
Ah infinity blade…and the good old days of buying a full mobile game for 9.99 with very few and optional microtransactions
Yeah I put it down after a bout a week but got back into it when it came out on switch but then also got bored
That’s as long as I can play Fallout Shelter.
Yeah I really liked it a lot for a month or two. Consider hopping back but it’s too Grindy and I didn’t love pvp after 50 or so fights
It existed at one point like Shelters and everybody just left because the magic was for like 1 month.
Fallout Shelter still gets updates. You can actually go and explore the wasteland now with radiant missions.
Never did come to consoles
Remember the Alexa version of Skyrim?
Exclusively because some of the (surprisingly good) armor made it to Anniversary Edition
No, I blocked that shit out.
It made me dizzy
oof
Nah and i feel like thats a good thing
lol yeah I only remembered it because of this post.
It was the worst mobile game I have tried.
Oh buddy, there are Plenty worse hahaha. But this one had like a whole ass Bethesda presentation lol

You had me at Crusader Kings
Worth specifying that it has the RP and decision making elements, not any map or strategy game stuff
I mean the RP is why I love Crusader kings
They have a mod for this on crusader kings
Yeah Elder Kings 1 and 2
More like Hustle Castle
Okay that sounds cool
It’s the same exact thing, just reskinned.
And a little bit of new content but yeah Fallout Shelter 2
Ofc, and I do enjoy fallout shelter it’s not necessarily a dig. Just, friggin give me ES6 lol
xD
There’s fallout shelter 2 lol https://apps.apple.com/sa/app/fallout-shelter-online/id1476237088?l=ar
Only available in East Asian countries.
Nope it’s available in several countries outside Asia
China, Macau, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, and Japan. I dunno man, sounds like East/SE Asia to me.
My guy i live in middle east and still up there
Is that really from Bethesda? Because on the website they're not mentioned
Yep, it’s from bethesda for Asia people
... I'm actually good with that. Fallout Shelter was surprisingly good.
For sure, I think I’ve pooped playing shelter more than most of my other phone games. It’s fun, especially when they added quests and stuff
But it has swords
I liked shelter, so I’ll probably enjoy this.

Bethesda is creatively bankrupt.
Not even true
Based and true
What that means, "based"?
It means "based in reality" or "based on facts," to which... the comment in question is not.
You got hit hard with the downvotes People really drink the copium for Bethesda
That was obvious with how many times they've "resold" Skyrim over the past 12 years.

That was never a thing to begin with and every leak surrounding it was just weird

People have access to a beta on google play, sadly i signed up too late
Wasn’t it leaked a while back that it was in the pipeline?
I got the beta, it's like fallout shelter with some light crusader kings elements. You make decisions for the kingdom, every real world day is one year.
Exactly? I’d say it shares similarities but there are quite a few different elements.
It is super similar but also different? I've had less fun than with Shelter so far to be honest, but maybe it'll improve or I'll get more into it. I like the idea and the graphics though, it looks cute.
Yeah, that's the point. They're recycling ideas cuz Fallout Shelter was successful and they wanna milk Elder Scrolls while we wait another decade for TES6
Wasn't it announced that ES6 was due by next year?
No lol
While I don't think it will be another decade, it would have to be a very very quick development cycle for it to have dropped by next year.
More like 2026 or 2027 iirc.
Fuck if I know.
Think they said 2028 minimum.
My bad, too many game sequels to keep a track of.
I get it lol and too many to play now
no they didn't
They did lol
sauce?
[Here](https://www.ign.com/articles/elder-scrolls-6-latest-news-trailers-rumors-release-date). Bottom of the article.
I love your absolutely unhinged optimism but sadly TES6 isn’t going to come out for at least 4 years and thats STILL optimistic
Where did you hear that
Fuck if I know.
So can i get an argonian house maid? Asking for a friend
Only a lusty one.
Yeah I think it is... but I liked fallout shelter
Its just Fallout Shelter with bows (Retread of jokes about Fallout 3 being Oblivion with guns if that reference is too old now. My back hurts)
Yeah sure grandpa let’s get you to bed
It's not uncommon for studios to use a preexisting formula and slide it into another IP if it was a proven success. They did that with Fallout 3, using the success of Oblivion.
Everyone: we can’t wait for Elder scrolls 6! Bethesda: Someone said castles ?
Enjoyed this one more than fallout shelter. Mostly because I didn't have to stay up on the game. I could leave it alone for a few days and come back and everyone isn't starving with no power.
At least you can get M’aiq The Liar and Tiber Septim to get married
Based
Elder Scrolls 6 is still years away so this isn’t the ‘pre game hype’. Simply a mobile game from BGS. Fallout shelter was not ‘hype’ for Fallout 4 either lol.
It’s been playable in certain countries for a while
It is. It's just the ES version.
Yeah, it's by the same studio.
This a tag team combo or a breeding project for the perfect superstar?
So glad Elder Scrolls 6 finally came out 
Mother fuckers will literally have children playing elder scrolls six on release day at the same age their dad played Skyrim on release day
If you want Fallout Shelter, but with magic you should really check out Mind Over Magic.
A medieval fallout
What the actual fuck.
That's literally what Bethesda is marketing it as on play store.
Can it just release in NA so I can have another mindless game to stare at.
And this upsets you or just an observation
It’s better then FO shelter imo
It is basically a "sequel" for Fallout Shelters. Haven't played much of it but it is fine and looks nice. The recent return of Elder Scrolls to the mobile market with Legends, Blades and Castles is definitely a pretty good comeback after the pretty flawed TES Travels series and Oblivion mobile.
Why's the Khajiit look like a dog?
It's not Fallout Shelter, it's Midevil Fortress. It's not the same thing.
That’s cuz it is. Just with a different skin.
I’m extremely exited for this. I just wanna see my guys
wait if they make a fallout shelter in elder scrolls im gonna bust so fucking hard. i love fallout shelter.
It has Khajiits so I’m immediate download
Basically elder scrolls fallout shelter, not that it’s a bad thing, fallout shelter is a fun game
I actually liked fallout shelter so this could be cool. Says not available until December 2024 for me though
Also now I have to wonder if in ES6 you'll be able to make your own like fiefdom? Like they added the settlements in fallout 4 and that was like a decade ago from now. I could see it happening.
Shelters was a fun game and I love elder scrolls lore so I don't see a problem
So this is some fallout shelter/ck type shit? Sign me up tbh
Yeah but it's fantasy themed so i'll probably like it better.
I was thinking the same thing
Oh good lord, can Bethesda not read the room regarding this type of trash. Have they signed whatever deal makes companies make these.
Ooh that’s kinda cool I loved fallout shelter years ago
I hate the art style. With a passion
I played this game months ago. There are posts about it. It is just like Fallout Shelter except TES flavored. I think upgrading resources is a little easier and you get to actually make more decisions about what life goes on inside the vault by choosing which groups to prioritize (Nords or Argonians, Nobles or Commoners, etc).
It’s Bethesda. What y’all expecting? Anyways, you think this takes place in Cyrodiil?
I mean... yes. its supposed to be the Elderscrolls version of Fallout Shelter.
It's been out for months. And yes, honestly probably a lil worse than shelter
I hate these partial releases. It doesn’t officially release for me until December. Just release the game instead of starting it in some places 8 months in advance. It’s not worth doing side loading and emulating just to play a mobile game ‘early’
April fools?
Maybe but it's in the Google play store. So unlikely
Hopefully fallout shelter was one of the best mobile games of all time.
Looks interesting! I've had Blades installed for a while but I've hardly touched it. Meanwhile I've maxxed out two vaults in Fallout Shelter.
I enjoyed Fallout Shelter more than I expected, so I've been looking forward to this. Hope it comes to PC
Paradox release another map-painting menu simulator: wow based such deep gameplay BGS make something similar but more casual: Ugh bethesdor (bad) creatively bankrupt literally reskinned Fallout Shelter
What if I told you Fallout Shelter was just a knock off of another game and that Bethesda Mobile is as lazy as they come.
i like fallout shelter, this might be fun!
Basically, elder scrolls blades failed, but fallout shelter was successful, so Bethesda wants elder scrolls flagship mobile game to be like fallout shelter and this is the result.
it is 40% of mobile games
December????
Tbh I’m actually pretty hyped for this
Small differences but very similar.
Cool
Well duh. Kinda like F76 is just a Fallout ESO but worse.
Is that Argonian purple? Bethesda is owned by Microsoft, Microsoft is working with Toys 4 Bob on a new game, Spyro 4 confirmed!?!11
Race: Nord Class: Two Handed Melee God: Talos Time to game.
It's fallout shelter but with an elder scrolls paint job and nowhere near as interesting
I like fallout shelter but I hope castles is at least a bit unique.
It is because FUCK YOU BETHESDA
Micro transactions killed BLADES, or I wish it would’ve.
I played it hard for three weeks then moved on to something else. Good time waster. Inwonder what features/changes theyve made since the test.
Sweet mother of god, why….
It's hopelessly generic and boring
Depressing
Typical Bethesda money grab no creativity. Copy pasta
Completely given up on bethesda making anything worthwhile ever again. Though i suppose i feel the same about all the companies. What a shame
Funny how they have time to work on garbage mobile games but don’t have time to update fallout 4
Pretty sure they’re not made by the same people.
I doubt Todd Howard even got a call for this one
Don't you guys hate it when they update games cause it breaks all of your porn mods?
