Fallout Shelter is a decent free-to-play title, as it never begs for money and you can play it relatively easily without spending a dime. It's also a prime example of marketing. By releasing the game just after the announcement of Fallout 4, Bethesda made an excellent example of capitalizing the IP. [Aug 2015]

Fallout Shelter is an enjoyable but ultimately shallow experience. It’s set apart from others of its ilk by making its transactions truly and completely optional — though sorely tempting.

Thankfully, Fallout Shelter's nostalgic aesthetics (which imitate signs and other written materials seen in Fallout 3 and New Vegas) mostly outshine the issues of the game's shallow nature.

My first impression of Fallout Shelter was far from positive. The early gameplay didn’t hook me at all, and I couldn’t really find a reason to keep playing. Everything felt too simple and unengaging at the start.Eventually, I decided to change how I approached the game. Once you start giving your dwellers the names of real people, the experience suddenly becomes more interesting and personal. Even then, it remains a very specific kind of strategy game — one that feels closer to old-school farm games, where you check in every few hours to see progress and collect resources.Despite its basic mechanics, the game managed to find its audience. And who knows — if you give it a bit more time, you might end up enjoying it too.

Me like it, me lucky, it's a fun game to pop in from time to time, i usually play 1 or 2 hours a day.

The game idea overall is good, but its made unfair. You don't get enough water. I rushed the water room 3 times and didn't made enough to have enough to leave the game for a while.

Fallout Shelter is an endlessly engaging mobile title that gives you plenty to do without overwhelming you with menus and meters. It has both of those things aplenty, but you’re always in control. This game will charm you while challenging you.

Fallout Shelter is not a big, complex and ambitious game but it works great as a way to kill some time before Fallout 4. It's fun, atmospheric, offers lots of good gameplay and simply put - keeps you glued to your screen. You can't expect much more from a typical mobile game aimed at a mass audience.

Fallout Shelter is a addictive game that u will never missed each day when u start playing it, but the design are absolutely great and this isn't like u will spend everything and u gotta use some things wisely, the quests are great and I like the new enemies, also the pets are the best, so I give this a 9/10

This new iOS game is just like The Sims and other similar simulators, but it´s set in a post-apocalyptic world full of missions and duties to do.

Fallout Shelter is an interesting game until you reach the fifty dweller mark. After that, the game gets easy and monotonous.

While it could have exploited fans at every turn like EA tried to do with Dungeon Keeper, it's actually a nice little way to spend an afternoon while you wait for Fallout 4 to come out in November. Just don't expect anything particularly exciting, as it is slightly skewed towards enticing you to spend money on it -- lest you wait to enjoy it in short spurts.

Fallout Shelter is a fantastic and interactive diorama full of nods to the franchise that make any fan smile. At the same time, it provides a pleasant experience for anyone who has ever heard the name of the series.

واحدة من اجمل الالعاب المجانية اللي ممكن تكون في جهازك الذكي
ملمعة و رائعة رسومياً , الا ان ما يعيبها هو البطئ في التقدم بسبب عامل الوقت اللي يتحرك بنفس توقيتك الحقيقي واللي رح يخلي سرعة تطورك رح تاخذ وقت اطول من المعتاد

I gave this game a relatively low score because of one reason; **** MOLE RATS. THEY SPREAD TOO DAMN FAST! Within a matter of seconds they have spread from one room to three to four rooms. Where is the fairness in that??? Don't waste your time playing this game because **** mole rats will just overwhelm you and waste five days of effort.

I can't handle freemium anymore! After 4 hours your vault is destroyed and it is impossible to rebuild it without spending a lot of money. Charge me 15 bucks for a full game!!! Stop making money machines!!!
