I quickly expanded my vault size with the addition of rooms that generated these resources and with a little more education, I was on my way. With them safely inside I was then taught about the three core resources that promote everyday vault life: power, food, and water. On startup, I was introduced to a barren vault which a few wasteland wanderers wished to call home. I did play a smidgen of Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel – arguably the worst title to play in the series – but that doesn’t color the otherwise rosy impression I’ve developed of the series from word-of-mouth.įallout Shelter is a resource management game portrayed like an ant farm. I’ll preface any further exposition with the acknowledgment that I’ve not played a Fallout game in any material way.
Room production could be rushed, at a risk. Ultimately, this is a marketing vehicle disguised as a free-to-play game one that provides ample enjoyment upfront but has little incentive for long-term attachment. With others playing concurrently though, the experience promotes healthy “watercooler conversations” about each individual’s vault. Early on it served as the highlight of my work break and bedtime gaming session whereas nowadays it triggers the forgetful “oh yeah, that game!” response. In the weeks since its Android debut, I’ve played it a few times a day. In a vacuum, Fallout Shelter can become tedious and boring.
