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

I like lunch boxes

I got a legendary dweller

Best mobile game ever

Been playing this game since 2016 and have about 10,000 hours and in all that time it still hasn’t gotten old I’ve had to take breaks but it is the best game that I have ever played on my phone 10/10

Buggy game

So annoyed with this game, I was enjoying it for so long but then bugs started to happen and never received any legendary items I collected in quests and storage going missing.

Where are my season rewards???

I grinded the entire season pass to accumulate over 40 lunchboxes, pet crates, and Mr. Handy boxes yet when the season ended I only get three lunchboxes???? Absolute scam and waste of my time.

Ads

Please let me pay to remove ads. They’re so intolerable.

Tuff

Tuff game

Deleted my entire vault

I spent several hours crafting my vault. When I finally crafted a new theme the game made me restart my application. When I attempted to log back in, my entire vault progress when deleted??? Cloud save was enabled so how does this even happen. Huge waste of effort and time. Do not play unless you want your vault to be randomly wiped at any point.

Deleted my save file

I went to log into and it’s completely removed my save file and I can’t get into touch with Bethesda

Super cool game

This game is really really cool. Also, it was kinda hard but I still like it anyways I also like how the creators thought that it was a good idea to make Raiders drop gear last time. I played it and never really worked that way.

Awesome

This game is really fun especially building your own vault. The retro-futuristic art design

RIP Vault 118

I made a vault when “experimental vaults” were a thing so when experimental vaults weren’t a thing anymore my vault got deleted. So all 65 of my dwellers Died, all 20,000 caps, Gone.

negative reinforcement

Fallout Shelter starts fun then turns into a stress test. "Random events" fire constantly — fires, roach infestations, raider attacks — often two at once, and half the time they wreck a room before you can even tap it. It stops feeling random and starts feeling like the game just wants you to fail so you'll spend caps or real money to fix it.

Then there's the overpowered "special" dwellers you get from lunchboxes — insane SPECIAL stats that make regular dwellers you've leveled for hours completely pointless. Why bother training anyone when a $5 pack hands you a dweller better than anything you can grow?

And the monetization is everywhere: Mr. Handy for resource collection, lunchboxes for good gear/dwellers, Nuka-Cola Quantum to speed up objectives — none of it's required exactly, but the game is tuned just annoying enough (slow builds, constant disasters, weapon RNG) that you feel pushed toward the shop constantly.

Underneath it there's a decent vault-builder, but it's buried under manufactured frustration designed to sell you the fix. Skip it or go in expecting a mobile cash-grab, not a game.
