Terrible

Left the game during a wasteland quest and that ended up corrupting my entire save, vault now completely ruined. No way to roll back saves either. Absolute pathetic waste of time

Generally good

Most of the time the game is awesome and addictive but with the events it never gives me the spin tokens like it’s supposed to when watching the ad. I know it’s an extra token but if I’m going to be forced to watch an ad and only can every couple hours you would expect it to work properly.

Rare tips

First off if u didn’t know if u put your vault code into 777 it will allow u to get u rare gifts or legendary better money and get good things in the game effortlessly

Fantastic game

Amazing game, the only reason I didn’t rate 5 stars is because when going on quests the fights are too slow, I think it could at least have an option to speed them up.

Terrible tutorial

The game gives you the most basic tutorial and then leaves you alone. The resource management early on is not explained clearly enough. It’s annoying to leave the game for a few minutes then come back and everything is in red constantly jumping back and forth from app to app is annoying and frustrating. Explain your game more better because I almost deleted it out of frustration. 2 stars for me. I’d recommend play actual fallout games not mobile
