Updates
Thu Aug 13 2020 AAron BoyleThere is a slim chance any developer will see this but listen.. I’ve played this game for almost 5 years now I’ve re downloaded it quite a few too and I just started it back up not long ago and noticed almost no changes it’s almost sad how many people have got this game and played it and you guys have abandoned it. I grew up to who I am now playing this with so many friends and we would all share crazy ideas of what they would add next and let me tell you they were creative this game just has a special place in my heart and nothing could change it I would kill to become a developer and make some changes that’s how desperate I am but I fully understand you guys have other projects but just to like see some new weapons or outfits and references to other games would be sick! Some things I would add are the exploring feature have more unique encounters or new loot when exploring new dialogue anything like that would be killer, also maybe some like new rooms or just new weapons if that’s too much and when crafting guns maybe have it be more hands on rather than just pressing build and waiting I have no complaints for this game hands down my favorite mobile game ever worthy of 5 stars and probably in my top 3 of the best games I’ve ever played one including Fallout 4, anyways this is me signing off if the developers don’t see this maybe someone else will and decide they will leave a review too about it anyways keep working hard Bethesda 👍🏼
Best game ever
Fri Nov 17 2023 Demon slayer 5000z weSo this game you should make another one of it but like a more upgraded version of it like more realistic and you should make him the main guy actually able to walk around to see what’s going on and you should put it in first person. Mode and let the vault guy go out and explore but then it’s real list of legends realistic so that he can find more dyes to help him make his vault bigger and you should also make sure when he comes back. He should have to be able to let the man say go in and then go say I’m gonna go back you keep this place running again or just let him have the option to come back in and check on it and then go back and find more people to get his ball bigger, so yeah that’s what I think. I think it should be called staying down here for 50 years or fall out shelter for or one or two but yes I do love this series. You should keep it going and I’m gonna give you a five star so keep it going, it’s the best game ever so that’s all I think what you should do but please send her my request as a as a notice like what you should do so yes that’s all I think in the Bible that the mother is it the next song no show you show me that add this little smiley face thing has to say you’re people are getting a Saadi satyr happy and you know oh so bye have a good day please consider doing this again. Please consider all my things what I’m saying.
Fun game, but…
Sun Oct 10 2021 MrOBrianI’ve been playing this game off an on for years, and really enjoy it. They’ve made some good updates to the game that make it even more enjoyable and give you more to do. However, there is one major issue that has existed for a very long time, and that is the incident rate when rushing a room. It will give you a percentage chance of an incident happening if you were to rush the room. If that percentage is 30% or higher, you are basically guaranteed to have an incident, every single time. It seems to be about 50/50 when the incident percentage is around 25%, and anything under 20% is usually pretty safe. The ONLY time I’ve had a rush succeed when the chance of incident was over 35% was during the tutorial when it makes you do a rush and it’s always successful. To make matters worse, failing a rush increases the chance of incident, which makes it to where I never want to even attempt to rush a room. I did an experiment once with a room that was at 27%. The rush failed, of course, so I tried again, and again, and again. Each one failed and I stopped when it approached 50%. I either have extremely bad luck in this game, or that incident calculation is incorrect. Now, the only time I rush a room is if the option to watch an ad to guarantee the rush is up, but often that will be disabled and counting down into negative seconds, so I mostly just ignore the rush feature unless I need to do it for an objective.
Great game, BUT...
Mon Oct 16 2017 KeptricWhy 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.
Needs alittle TLC
Sun Oct 04 2020 KialoEireDon’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
Halloween! And what I can look forward to
Fri Oct 12 2018 updates, please(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
Sun Jul 07 2019 RickyS.🇺🇸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
Sun Apr 26 2020 supersonic156This 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
Major Annoyance
Sat Jan 19 2019 PitiphulMeThe 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
Thu Feb 25 2021 bigzaddylongleg69I’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
