## What is Shelter Hero?

Run, shoot, survive. You're not just another wanderer - you're the last hope in a nuclear-blasted wasteland crawling with the dead, raiders, and worse. Every bullet counts. Every step could be your last. But you're not giving up. Not today.

Explore the ruins of a world torn apart by war and radiation. Search every bunker, vault, and dust-covered outpost. Uncover forgotten protocols, hidden tech, and twisted legends that shaped what’s left of humanity.

Build and upgrade your own shelter. In the heart of the apocalypse, your outpost is your only safe zone. Craft weapons, reinforce your defenses, and turn this broken land into a home worth fighting for.

Create your dream team of heroes. Unlock survivors from across the ruins - each one with a story, a skill, and a reason to fight. Train them. Equip them. Watch them become legends.

Defend your base from zombies, raiders, and the unknown. Your shelter won’t survive without you. Fortify it, strategize your defenses, and show them that the last outpost of humanity won’t go down easy.

Rescue the forgotten. Survivors still hide in crumbling bunkers and shadowed shelters. Save them before it’s too late - every life you bring back gives you strength, resources, and hope.

The apocalypse isn't the end - it's the beginning.

Download now and step into a radioactive world of survival, dust, and dead things that won’t stay down.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t load

*2026-06-24, version 0.6.0*

I started playing this game briefly sometime ago but got preoccupied. Just went to go back in and the game won’t load. Even tried deleting and re-downloading and it still won’t load. Clicked on app support and there was no support for this game. Only one called Radtown Survivor. Not sure why it’s being listed as an active app or if it’s only me having this issue but I’m not having this problem with any other games or apps on my phone.

### 1/5 — All auto

*2026-06-14, version 0.6.0*

This game is stupid it’s all auto. All you do is click the thing that needs to be done and it does it for you. There no fun is something that is all auto

### 3/5 — Pretty fun

*2026-03-18, version 0.6.0*

My only complaint is that I bought the no ads pack that came with the helper. It doesn’t seem to do anything. I did read other reviews where you guys replied saying one of the cards needs to be purchased.  I actually don’t see no ads listed on the cards themselves so it’s not very clear and it’s extremely misleading for the pack I bought to advertise no ads on it when in fact you still have to watch ads.

### 1/5 — Пропали самоцветы

*2026-02-20*

Собирал самоцветы, купил какие-то инструменты для сбора Самоцветов. А сейчас зашёл в игру все самоцветы пропали. Разработчики, объясните пожалуйста что произошло? Игра то вроде неплохая, я надеюсь вы исправите эту ошибку.

### 5/5 — Game

*2025-12-27, version 0.5.7*

Great game

### 3/5 — Fun Game - Ads everywhere though.

*2025-12-05, version 0.5.7*

Game is fun but no exaggeration there are ads almost every 30 seconds. Tone down the ads and it would be more enjoyable.

As it is, probably won’t play for much longer due to how many ads are necessary to watch to progress.

### 5/5 — Супер 🙌

*2025-11-29, version 0.5.7*

Супер сюжет , графика . Не напрягает

### 5/5 — Hapix Games Studio

*2025-11-25*

[RU] Игра отличная, сюжет с юмором, куча заданий и всяких прокачек, в игре действительно интересно находится. Но как было обидно, что не выпало достижение, которое всего то одно в этой игре, когда попадешь во вторую локацию должны были дать достижение "First Location Completed", это не в коем случае не портит общее впечатление игры, просто обидно когда ты провел в игре 15+ часов и вот такое происходит. Пожалуйста, разработчики, исправьте этот момент, я уже давно во второй локации. Установлена последняя версия игры. Также отправил вам письмо.

[ENG] The game is good, fun story, a lot of quests and upgrades, its interesting to play it at all. But, unfortunately the one and only achievement can’t unlocked for me, when you entered the second location there should pop "First Location Completed" achievement, no, the game if pretty good, its sad when you 15+ hours of playing a game and something like that happened. Dear devs, please, fix it, Im in the second location right now. The game updated to the latest version. I also sent you an mail.

### 1/5 — Такое себе

*2025-11-18*

Телефон кипит, даже во время просмотра рекламы. Оптимизации ноль. Таких игр миллион, клон на клоне.

**Developer response:** Добрый день!
Спасибо что играете в нашу игру!
Мы видим у вас старая версия игры.
Обновите пожалуйста игру в Appstore до новой версии, там улучшена производительность для слабых устройств.

### 1/5 — Ehh fun game

*2025-11-17, version 0.5.4*
