No ad rewards

The first few times I click on the optional ad to receive a reward. It did work, but now it’s glitching to the point where it will make me watch the ad multiple times with no reward and then the countdown until I can watch another ad for reward starts over.

Fun Until Paywalls

This game is built around an interesting concept of being a vault manager and managing resources to keep your vault alive, and hopefully to thrive. Solid idea.

Then wait mechanics set in. And you can speed them up by, you guessed it, micro-transactions. But wait, there’s more! If your vault falls or ends up in a bit of trouble, which WILL happen since the vault is online even when you’re idle! Don’t worry though—you can spend NUKA COLA BOTTLES (which you buy through more microtransactions) to “save” your settlement!

You can integrate micro-transactions ethically, by making them entirely optional, cosmetic only, with more than enough content for free players so if you just want a bonus, you can just pay a bit to add some stuff.

This game is solidly in the toxic model of F2P games. This game is pay-to-win.

In other words… Bethesda pulled another Bethesda.

da fallout shelter

dis jawn pretty tuff

Excellent

Really great concept and just the right amount of challenging. It is a little too addictive though.

The game crashes all the time

The game was working fine on my ipad , but after the recent updates it crashes after a few minutes all the time! I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it but it keeps crashing!

Always dropping

I’ve played this game in the past, and loved it, but it would just close out of nowhere. So, thought it might be my old tablet, but it’s doing it again with this one. I’ve reported the bug over and over, but still not fixed.

Great but Eh at the same time.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the game, I always have and I’ve played it for years but the one thing that makes me hate it at the same time and makes me delete it is : every single time I login to play, my bunker gets attacked by deathclaws, every single time first thing before I can even do anything. It wouldn’t be bad if it was just occasional, but every single time I launch it?? Seriously?? It’s stupid asf. I don’t mind the raiders or ghouls or the others that attack your bunker, because they’re easy and they don’t almost kill all of your dwellers before you finally get rid of them. I always take care of the death claws before I close the game but that doesn’t matter, it happens EVERY SINGLE TIME when I first open the game. It’s annoying and just ridiculous. This really needs to fixed. Death claws shouldn’t attack my bunker every single time first thing when I launch the game. It’s the most annoying bs and aggravating thing I have ever dealt with or even seen in a game. I love the game, I truly do, but this is just getting downright old and stupid. It just makes me want to stop delete it and just stop playing it overall. That’s the reason I keep deleting it and do stop playing for weeks, if not longer, at a time.

Game is great

The game is really awesome and fun and I love that it’s a mobile fallout game but I think it could be better if there was a higher dweller capacity and more space downwards for your vault. I also think it kind of needs more quests

Is good

It’s all right decent game a little addicting

Not much to it.

There really isn’t much to do in the game to keep interest. Missions that take hours just to reach the destination, then dine in 5 minutes. Only for it to take hours to get back to the vault. After some time playing boredom enters the game as there is nothing to do but gather resources to keep the vault running. Not much to it. You will become bored sooner than later.

Game

It’s ok once u get started

Tutorial Skip

Let there be a tutorial skip already. Or let us choose where the first room should be. Jamming a living quarter right onto the first floor and ruin the structure is just lazy designing.

Gets old fast and ran by lazy developers

Played for a while. It’ll be fun for a few days or an event or two but everything gets stale fast. Combat scaling makes no sense and takes ages especially when a dungeon has a fight in every single room. Attack speed is way too slow even for max agility dwellers. Sometimes a room will take seconds and other times it’ll take several minutes with the same enemy types.

The game has gotten so stale to even the devs that they’re recycling monthly events with no change to the event context or story. There is so much Fallout content to center events around but refuse to use anything other than fo4, 76 or TV show. Devs also can’t bother to make anything look distinctive for all the different variants of weapons or clothing

Doesn’t save your vault

I had a lot of hours into it connected to this account and there’s nothing there now

Dead game

Dead game. No support new attempt full of bugs

Not a bad game

Like the title says, it’s not bad, the only thing that I dislike is how you can’t destroy the Mr handy inside the vault.

My game crashes every time I tried to load my vault

My game crashes every time I tried to load my vault, this is a known issue that I’ve seen many other people complain about and the game developer is doing nothing about it. It’s been like this for over a month do NOT waste your time with this game

10/10 I HIGHLY recommend!

The game is good! I just advise to only have a minimum of rooms or else it gets a little tougher. It’s very challenging and fun! Love it, love it, hope you guys can make more fallout games for thee AppStore!👀

Don’t listen to any reviews under 5 stars

This game is very fun and challenging in some places but not the kind of hard where you want to stop playing or ragequit. Kept me hooked and has a very good progression system. This is definitely pinky toe approved. Well done Bethesda. 👍

I love this game when I can’t play my Xbox one S

This game is such a lucrative time killer it’s ridiculous, but I love it because it makes you think outside the box and use common sense which most people in this world don’t have a that no more
