    Needs alittle TLC

    Don’t get me wrong, this is a great game but it’s pretty easy most of the time. As soon as you’ve unlocked all the rooms there’s not much else to do apart from finishing quests and getting recipes. I know the devs are busy on other projects but there’s so much potential for this game to be bigger. Such as adding in new rooms like a pet daycare to train pets and raise their stats, different types of production rooms that utilize some stats like Endurance and Charisma for producing crafting materials, maybe even a monitoring room where you can designate and create specific teams of dwellers. Adding new dialogue or even giving the overseer the ability to interact personally with dwellers to raise happiness. Adding more variety to incidents and attacks like radiation leaks or bloatfly infestations. Even giving fun seasonal events and limited time weapons/outfits. It’s a great game to begin with but not a whole lot of work has been keeping it up to date. Even if it means whole new sequel like Fallout settlement where you can build different houses and buildings would be amazing, y’all have a great thing going here. Don’t let time and lack of care reduce this game to just another app taking up space. I have had a few problems with trying to move dwellers and the camera/movement wigs out making it difficult to swap them around, heck even adding to where we can search items and dwellers by name would be fantastic



  • By updates, please

    Halloween! And what I can look forward to

    (First of all I love this game and appreciate all the challenges it poses- it truly requires vault management and strategy to strive in this game, and just annoys me when people bash the game for over building and overpopulating only to complain about the over-inflated difficulty they themselves caused) HALLOWEEN, hopefully new things come from this, I’ve had this game for a while but I haven’t really picked it up since this month. I am heading for end game and I’m already feeling the end of things to do, my mission lists are becoming increasingly smaller and I hope this update comes with new missions like the previous years brought, but hopefully there are future updates to retain some freshness to the game. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll continue playing no matter what, but maybe new “off-holiday” missions, new wasteland events, and if we are lucky new weapons enemies or dwellers.. (but I most care about the first 2 things I mentioned) Hopefully bathesda can try to revive this game, but with the coming of 76 I can imagine this game only becoming more dead, or even possibly being bombarded with 76 weapons characters, enemies, events, clothes, missions... something I can look forward to if it ever happens. (Most likely after 76 has been out for a couple years) but non the less this game is great and anything that ever is pushed out into fallout shelter is a win in my book.

    Fun, but there are things I would love to see in game

    I love this game, I love the fact you can spy on your vault dwellers and see what they’re saying. And how now you can find places in the wasteland and explore them. And how there’s quests. But there are things that I would love to see in game, and if by any chance the developers see this review would take into consideration. The setting for one has been the same since day one, well, not exactly the same, but still same. I would love to be a different place the vault is located, like in fallout 4 how vault 111 goes straight down instead inside a mountain, and the outside be in the woods, or near water. And I would love it if u could make your choices in the wasteland, for instance. If your exploring dweller says there are raiders near but they go away, I would like the choice to attack, or if there was an abandoned building you can explore like a quest, or if you find a friendly ghoul you can bring the along with you and receive a quest, and maybe bring them to the vault. But with consequences. Maybe they’re a traitor and have constant attacks, or they’re friends but bring radiation, but can fix that. Finally, armor. With the armored vault suit I think it would be cool to have different levels of it, like level one is leather, level two is raider armor, level 3 meter, level four is synth armor. Again if you see this please take into consideration.

    Mostly Amazing..some suggestions

    This game is great. I love the fallout series and I feel they have done it great justice. I have Dogmeat in my vault and that makes me smile. Micromanaging you’re vault is pretty satisfying generally with some issues maybe if you try to expand too quickly. But a great game overall. I wish there were more/new cosmetic options added for the barbershop and armor/clothing options occasionally or acquired via quest or something, since at a certain point making your dwellers look interesting and acquiring new named characters from the game are mostly what there is left to do once you hit the vault cap. Above all I wish the population cap was higher in general. I’ve run into problems when the line outside the vault gets too long where I must evict dwellers to let my dwellers return to the vault. If you are at max capacity and lose one of your dwellers to a pregnancy she is stuck that way indefinitely until space is made for the child. These conflicts are my biggest complaints at the moment. Some birth control options would be good to deal with the population cap issue. Being able to send dwellers between vaults to trade with other players or something would be a cool addition also I have several vaults for different family members it would be cool to be able to send dwellers to other vaults. Definitely worth playing



  • By Hegsgdhudbehsiabscgs

    Pretty good but...(additions)

    I just want to start off by stating that I love this game and I hope that I can continue playing it for much longer but I do have one issue. When rushing rooms even with the incident probability at 27% and all 6 dwellers in the room having formal clothing on an incident will be caused on my game. The reason I bring that up is because when I'm low on resources due to a deathclaw attack or ghoul attack it's hard to recover over time so when I rush a room and a single radscorpion comes out but goes through my whole vault with every dweller armed with weapons that do between 8 and 17 damage and with almost every room other than my hospitals and science centers having 6 dwellers it is a bit annoying due to how much power the scorpion saps from the vault. It's especially annoying when in a mission it takes three dwellers only about three shots(attacks) each to bring one down doing between 12 and 17 damage it doesn't make sense how a room of six armed dwellers with a high level and high health to not only not be able to beat a single radscorpion but also almost everyone in that room nearly dying I think that's a bit overpowered. Highest level dweller is lvl. 33. (Additions) Future updates should allow for more than one vault/settlement per game so that the maximum for dwellers can grow.

    Outstanding game but there isn’t enough variety outside the vault

    Needs some new areas to explore I loved the scenery in the fallout games and on fallout shelter. However every quest is either (1) Building or (2) Cave. Now those are fine but more variety would be good I’ve played it until I got bored a year ago and I’m playing it again because it’s such a good game. I just feel like it loses something after a while, new scenery and fight mechanics maybe would help save the game. Have some open areas, explore towns, meet more characters. And Definately new villains, mutants, bloatflys and ants, perhaps brotherhood outcasts. And I know this is a lot but what I enjoyed most about the fallout games was finding different areas most of which were open. This game the only thing that really changes is the rewards on missions and with the exception of the horsemen quest which was well done by the way are basically the same. All in all it’s an outstanding game but it needs more to keep me playing. Also a story missions, they leave much to be desired I like the goofy take on fallout it is different from the main games but please Bethesda has made my favorite games and this one could use more updates and new content. Also change up the dwellers grind, more conversations and maybe different movements and interactions.

    New Ideas?

    I’ve played this game since it came out and it’s come a long way since it’s beginning. I have loved a lot of the updates that they have come out with. The crafting update allowed for a lot of fun moments. The quest update allowed for a lot of story driven moments that I am still working on because I want to use certain people for that. The only issue that I have with it is that I hit 200 vault dwellers with almost no issue and I’m still stacking on that amount. I don’t know if this would ever be considered to be an idea but several quests made me question the ideas of settlements. I’m not saying you can add a large amount of people to them but just have a place you can store the extra people. Instead of being able to just mass build like you can in the vault you are only able to build within the limit of the settlement with restrictions on what rooms you can place in buildings. This would also open the possibility to have settlements being able to trade with each other. That of course would bring an interesting system of buying and selling. I really love this app and I’ve put a lot of time and effort into it like a lot of other people. I don’t want to see this app die out. I hope the developers see this and at least consider it as an idea.

    I Love This Game, But..

    I’ve been playing this game for about half a year, and I adore it. It’s something that I keep coming back to when I have nothing better to do, and the Quests are great. I have a few suggestions for it: First, could we get some kind of Online mode? A few of my friends play this game, and it’d be great to be able to send food and water when they’re running low, as well as weapons or armor, or maybe even caps. Plus, you could add Quests where several Vaults send dwellers to get a lot of loot. It’d be a great addition to the game. Another thing I’d love, and I mean LOVE, would be some New Vegas items added to the game. Most of my favorite characters and items come from it, and it would add a ton of new content. You could have Quests going to Vault 22, add some of my favorites like Arcade Gannon and Ulysses as Legendary Dwellers, and even bring in some new Room Themes. Finally, and this is the one I want most, PLEASE add a layout editor. I’ve got a bit over a hundred Dwellers, and I want to move a few rooms around, but it costs THOUSANDS of caps to move the elevators and rooms, and it takes forever to move all the Dwellers around to get to the new place. We need a layout mode to fix these little issues that turn into massive problems. Anyway, thanks for listening to my thoughts, bye

    Best Mobile Game 10/10

    I have played MANY MANY mobile games, I’ve been a whale in most of them spending thousands and thousands of dollars. The most I spent on a game was $14,000+ and I quit every single one of those games. However, the one game I keep coming back to is this game. This is NOT a money grabbing game. The thing I love the most about this game is that you can have fun all you want and play with ALL the contents in this game without spending a single dime and it won’t take you years or months to get to it. I have not found another mobile game like Fallout Shelter... I did spend around $100 on this game because I love spending money on mobile games.. but that’s the thing. I only spent $100 and got SO MUCH for it. This game is so generous and the sales are amazing. 40 boxes for only $10 when it’s on sale!!!! That’s amazing!!! In every mobile game I’ve played other than this one, it’s $10 for 10 rolls and most of the time you don’t even get the best rarity in all ten rolls. But in this game, it’s a 50/50 chance or better! I absolutely love this game and the devs. Thank you so much for making such a wonderful game and please please please keep updating it. You guys are doing amazing and I really hope you are getting the support you deserve and even more.

    Really enjoyable game

    Perfect game to play whenever whether it be just to check up on your vault, or send your dwellers on some quest. Very enjoyable! But, I would like to offer a suggestion to improve the game if Bethesda would like to take this into consideration. What if you were to have a variety of different conflicts or disputes within the vault that could be solved and each one could pop up when you reach a certain amount of dwellers (for example every ten or so) and will say something like, “Jimmy wanted a comic that Brian had, Grognak Issue 14, but didn’t want to trade anything and instead stole it from Brian. What should you do to reprimand Jimmy?” And will have options like “Blame Brian for not giving it to him, Do nothing, limit his rations, or Exile him from the vault”. And certain actions will have consequences like for example if you exile him a diner might refuse to work in protest of his unfair treatment and you would need to pass a speech check which would be kind of like rushing a room or, wait 24 hours for them to start working again. I know this is a lot and would be a lot of work, I just thought it might add another dimension to the game and make it even more enjoyable than the already enjoyable game it is. Thank you!!

    Great edition to the Fallout series

    This game is awesome. In my opinion, getting five stars is great, and it means that more could be added to something to make it better, and there are few changes that need being made. That is the case with this game especially. Fallout shelter was a great idea but has a couple of problems. At least with my iPhone, when I am looking around in my vault I accidentally pick dwellers up. I have IPhone X and everything seems to work well, and the enemies need no changing at all. Although I would like a mode where you can rearrange your vault, it is not needed. I think all around a genius idea, and I do not feel like I need to purchase anything at all, (although I have,) definitely a fantastic game. Truly the Culver’s of the IPhone edition games. Disclaimer: this game is more enjoyable when you buy in app purchases!Anyone who says that you do need to pay to get far on this game, I will say, instead of just complaining, be a little more specific and helpful. If you really thought that, you could say, this game should be pay to get but you start off with more stuff. That is what I think of Fallout shelter, I hope anyone planning on getting should definitely get it.



  • By Keptric

    Great game, BUT...

    Why the 4/5 stars? The game is great, but, it doesn’t hit the key points it should’ve. I see many people complaining about the 200 cap and how it crashes because of so much going on. Although annoying, it was expected. It’s a mobile game, it’s not going to be perfect. Something they can add that will be PERFECT, is a rebuild mode where you can rearrange everything that you already have built, like in Clash of Clans, where you can rearrange your base all over again like it’s nothing. This problem is becoming bigger because we might not like how our layout is because of some stupid placement we did when we first started. For the love of god I don’t know if anyone else has this problem or if there is a fix but I don’t know it, but dragging dwellers from outside to the bottom is extremely annoying because it glitches so hard, if I can have the option to just click them from room to room instead of dragging that’d be great. Quests, the only part that keeps me going, add more, that’s it, just add more. Other than that we’ll see where it goes. And hopefully, if ever, some type of multiplayer, maybe to quest, maybe to trade, give limited amounts of supplies or whatever. Multiplayer isn’t fallout it but he got mobile why not or at least be able to do that between your own vaults would be nice too, just like settlements in Fallout. Great game overall, just keep adding things for us to come back too. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

    Major Annoyance

    The game is a good time crunch; not incredibly involved, not incredibly deep, but a good place to tinker around trying to make every detail perfect. I only have one major annoyance that leads me to turn off the game immediately... I hate bottle and happy. I need a way to throttle them off; they come at the worst times. You just successfully rushed a group to bring up their happiness? Oh wait, whats this?! Nope, no you didn’t... Bottle and Cappy have come to ruin your work, guess you will have to wait three annoying minutes for them to go away. Make them turn off-able PLEASE, we are being punished for playing your game and saving your mascot dudes. Also; the chances are never correct. You have like a 14% chance to have an incident, but you still have an incident. So you wait till next log in, back to 14%, guess what, another incident. I could understand failing 1/3 - 1/2 of the time if I was rushing with a 30-50% incident rate, but I only rush with like a 10-14% incident rate and they fail all the dang time, often several times in a row for one room, making me bring the whole room down to 75% happiness when I wS just trying to top of one of the dwellers by 5%. I don’t think they are correct at all on failure rates, or there is another factor that I have not considered. I have tried making sure they only have a short time left, that each dweller has 7+ on all stats, etc... but none of it works, fail very consistently when rushing.

    I saw what someone else wrote

    I’ve been playing this game for about 3 1/2 to 4 years now on and off because I’ll get to a point where there’s nothing to do and it’s just the same repetitive game over and over NOTHING has changed I understand you guys have these big games your working on but those games are for people who have money and can buy a good PC,Xbox one or whatever the new one is, or PS4/5 then you guys got this game it’s an awesome little ideas you guys came up with but it feels like it was just a trophy u guys wanted for 2015 I think it was and then put it in the old used toy box we the gamers like it still if only there was just some new weapons,suits,dwellers,rooms, even if you don’t want that just add more upgrades for the ones already in place. Irk I’m not a programmer or anything but I haven’t spent a decent ammount of money on it and every time it’s a waste cause I end up just forgetting about it. Also if there is a way you can let’s us connect a profile to Facebook or to an email or just to the play store or AppStore so if we do end up uninstalling it later on if someone wants to recover their progress and money from that original vault they could cause right now it doesn’t have one or at least I haven’t found it. Thank you for your time if you did end up ready this 4 stars from me but it’s def top 3 games. P.s number one is clash of clans lol
