Fallout Shelter

(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.

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.

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.

I’ve been playing since January 2017, for a total of 63 hours of gameplay, and have a maxed vault. I enjoyed most of it. The road to success is the most fun, but once you upgrade and get settled, there are no challenges. The quests are ok, but when you have Several of the most powerful weapons and maxed out dwellers you are basically wasting your time. Bethesda, If you find the time or funds, and implement some seriously dangerous enemies or quests, It would make playing the game practical for higher up players. I think a mode where you can send a bunch of dwellers to like a mosh pit of full of enemies and be rewarded would be cool. I’d also think adding a perk system would be nice to, that would provide assistance or maybe increased probabilities at finding items. I’d appreciate easier access to ledgendary dwellers, I haven’t got any since the initial free one you get at the beginning, even after opening 56 lunchboxes. That would be a good way to make quests worthwhile, by giving the ledgendary dwellers that, as stated before, are impossible to acquire. I know you won’t read this because you have better things to do, but I enjoyed this game because of how genuinely free to play it is, unlike your other titles. I also wish you could make 76 single player, so I wouldn’t have to pay ps plus for it, which is the only reason I haven’t bought it. Thanks.

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.
