Time glitch

Please fix this glitch, maybe make it run online or something but I feel as if there no reason to play normally when I can just change time zones and easily do everything

This game is fire 🔥

Even though I'm a kid, I still play this game as a 11 year old

10/10

Been playing for years and this is genuinely the greatest mobile game I’ve played. It helps to have played some of the fallout games but it’s not necessary. Would absolutely recommend!

DO NOT SPEND MONEY

Started playing a couple days back . Bought the battlepass (which is garbage cause you still end up paying for bottles to rush the pass because the achievements don’t give a lot of medals per challenge + you have to do it in a separate vault ???? WHY)

Played the game legit and found after being level 140, the game slows down with productivity and the caps don’t even give you enough from the jobs to build more.

They make more stuff expense to prolong your time on spending on the vault screen .

Even after doing the quests , you have to wait 2-5hours before even getting 150 caps from the mission …

It’s an alright game , don’t spend money on it though.

Bethesda, you've done it again!

This game is amazing.
Although progress is slow,
And you've gotta grind for a BUNCH of stuff, it's nice to see your vault loaded with resources and armed to the teeth. A few tips i've got for the game, if you wanna get good at it. #1 always guard your vault door, and give the dwellers guarding it the best armor and weapons you've got. #2 once you have a medbay, and a science lab, prioritize Stimpak and Radaway production for a little while. #3 build the overseer's office as soon as you can, going on quests can really help your vault. #4 if you're tired of waiting for Vault-tec videos to load, then just force quit, and reload the game. It's kind of an infinite money glitch, and it's really helpful if you're in a tight spot. #5 don't build small rooms, excepting it to help your vault a lot, only to find out that those rooms are using more resources than they produce. #6 build dweller training rooms as soon as you can, then build more work rooms after they're trained, or assign them to an already existing room. #7 When you can, start replacing some of your basic power stations with nuclear power plants. #8 keep lots of junk handy, as it's used for crafting. #9 if you get a mister handy, assign it to the floor that you think produces the most resources.

Okayish game

I’ve been playing for about a week. And just today it stopped letting me watch ads for pretty much everything. At first I had to close the game and load it back up to get a prize. Or guarantee a rush or even advance 30 minutes. Now it’s just not letting me use it at all. Until this bug is fixed I won’t be playing it anymore. There’s no help option in the game. And it’s starting to get boring especially with this app problem too

Good game

The gam is really good I love it!

Fun

Fun it doesn’t cost money and I love slash hate how missions take so long

Good

Its fun.that’s all … why are you still here? Go away.

Great game. But it’s Bethesda…

Please please Bethesda I have been a fan of your work for nearly 2 decades now and it saddens me to rate you so lowly but how unstable and periodically un-runnable this game and nearly every game this lot have put together. If I get a whole hour of uninterrupted gameplay and no crashes or softlocks I will fix the rating but good god please take some time to work out bugs.

I love the game, I always come back

The addition of seasons/season pass works well for this game, giving you more free stuff (yes the free pass is actually helpful) and the gameplay is always just enjoyable, the waiting isn’t bad and for the longer sides of waiting, the nuke quantum payoff for time is very reasonable unlike some other cash grabs

One thing I’d love to see come to the game (or make another game) is a fallout walker. Like how your vault people travel to the wasteland, why not make a mechanic (or whole game) about a wasteland dweller or vault dweller who goes further you walk personally. The further you go, the better outposts and areas you find (and maybe harder)

Making a good walker is hard but fallout has a great concept for its payoff

Game got bricked

Genuinely don’t download the game till the update it again, you will loose your entire vault. Doesn’t matter how many new vaults you make you’ll get stuck on the load screen and it’ll overheat your phone

Soooo fun 🤩

It’s literally sooooo fun I mean I add more and more rooms and others thank you 😊

Fun but has new issues

Ever since the New Vegas update the ad to earn nuka quantum, lunchboxes and caps sometimes glitches out. The selection will come up to watch but then it doesn’t open the ad when you click it. Sometimes the ad plays out and then the menu is still there and no reward is given. Also I don’t think I’ve ever been rewarded pets or lunchboxes that way. Happens in experimental vaults too. Otherwise, been spending a lot of time playing. Thanks!

More caps

Very chill

It lost my save

The new season kept crashing my game and when I deleted it and reinstalled it my two cloud saved vaults are gone and they won’t let my load them back

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’s natural habitat.

A fun game

It’s a rally fun game if you have a good save

Nice

It sucks

Was a Joke and now I can’t go back

I spent 150 dollars on this game and is on my way to maxing this out. I’m in to deep
