Love the graphics and the similarities to Fallout, but only problem is that daily Hero's Genome biocatalyst is stopped if you buy one.. So don't buy it, because I was only 22 minutes away from what I thought was a daily thing, but once you use the 30 coins it automatically resets the Hero's Genome to another 24 hours.. So heads up if you are gonna buy one round of a Hero's Genome wait the aggrevating 24 freebee to pass first.. ### 4/5 — My first foray *2024-09-18, version 2.36* Day One: I like the mechanics of the game and find it one of the better of its sort… so far. BUT, the other reviews concern me particularly since I am strictly f2p. Imma keep my eye on that. ### 2/5 — Good Game but… *2024-03-26, version 2.36* Is actually quite a good little game to play, that I enjoy playing while doing tasks, however I’m having an issue with the cloning chamber not producing new residents and have reported this and not gotten a response or the issue resolved otherwise I would give 5 stars. ### 4/5 — No updates? *2023-09-24, version 2.36* Fun game, but no updates in 8 months? Don’t waste your money! ### 1/5 — Unbanned my account *2023-06-19, version 2.36* Unbanned my account I can’t even play at all because you guys ### 1/5 — Dead game *2023-02-14, version 2.36* This was my favorite game but the devs have abandoned it. No more updates, no more fixes. I was in the top 10 players and have played almost since game started. Save your money and save your time. Find something else to play. ### 1/5 — crashes *2023-02-13, version 2.36* Crash every 5 min. Fix it pls! ### 2/5 — Constantly crashes *2023-02-12, version 2.36* Can guarantee it will crash within 5 minutes. You’ll be in the middle of a battle and boom it’s crashed. Such a shame as the game has potential. ### 3/5 — Was good *2022-09-08, version 2.7* Don’t like it now since the new update it will take forever to upgrade any room seems they went a lot more p2w ### 1/5 — Crashes every time I try to watch a video *2022-09-08, version 2.7* Can’t open crates because the video crashes. Without crates it’s useless! ### 1/5 — Way to ruin the game *2022-09-04, version 2.7* Been playing for over two years and was one of the top 100 players you drop a dumb update and now I’m not in the top 10,000. Guess it’s becoming a pay if you want to be good game. Way to go, just watched my clan fall apart. Guess it’s a waist of two years but that’s on me ### 2/5 — My experience *2022-08-23, version 2.0* Had this game for over a year or close to 2 years at this point and it was Very interesting and relaxed shelter war game, it use to be a lot better then it is now with the overall “update” all old gear, chips, implants and a lot of other stuff has gone to just being scraped or just junked from this update and all dwellers and old hero’s have gotten weaker (to the point where things are impossible now) Not to mention all the new bugs and the increased daily purchase pop ups . . . I think I may quit the game from how bad it’s gotten to be now, it’s just worse now ### 1/5 — Game changer *2022-07-16, version 1.5.112* Developers lack of communication on changing game mechanics- lots of people spent money on the game just to have all their hard work exchanged for game currency. Lack of communication from developers on discord about it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No support *2025-10-29, version 2.36* Old game I used to love. But no support and major bug to print new dwellers. Seems like many are having same issue. Play but DONT SPEND YOUR MONEY. You’re eventually gonna be stuck bc this games been abandoned… ### 1/5 — Game is dead. No players. No support *2025-08-02, version 2.36* This game is no just a scam. They will take your money, but there is no one left , the Devs, customer service, even other players gone. The ones left are in their moms basement to afraid to stop playing lol. Do not waste your time with this game. ### 1/5 — Could have been good *2024-11-14, version 2.36* It’s a great idea which has unfortunately been all but abandoned by the developers. The mechanism to get new dwellers seems to be broken, and I couldn’t find any information anywhere about it. It is impossible to progress in the game without new dwellers. Tried to get help in game, but the community, what little there is of it, is toxic. ### 1/5 — I would you recommend to not try this game 24/7 *2024-08-03, version 2.36* I saw the good reviews on this game but when I try pressing the free skip for buildings it keeps kicking me off if you get kicked off from games a lot I would recommend not to play this game😡😡😠 ### 1/5 — Money grab *2024-07-12, version 2.36* Don’t play ### 1/5 — Annoying *2024-04-11, version 2.36* You get 1 star cuz you wouldn’t quit asking me to rate the game after EVERY BATTLE ### 1/5 — No updates since January 2023 - dead game *2023-11-20, version 2.36* I’ve played this game off and on for years. As of November of 2023, it is clear the developers have ceased working on the game (no updates since January of 2023). As a result, I urge people to not play the game. Kind of sad, because the game is/was pretty good. ### 1/5 — Lost all game access *2023-11-13, version 2.36* Payed for character packs and robot service and now my account froze and I can’t use it and the game made me start a new game losing all things I paid for I submitted for support and haven’t been reached back yet. ### 1/5 — The old version was better *2023-07-19, version 2.36* So when I started playing you could choose the gear to put on the dwellers but the hole class thing is in my opinion is not fun at all I liked it when you had variety and I think that is more fun but all I have to say to the developers is change it back NOW! ### 1/5 — Seems to be very unbalanced *2023-07-04, version 2.36* This is a fun game but I have fought some enemies and some of them which are bosses just have instakill moves that one shot any units like my melee units just get destroyed by the water lords final boss melee attack and then there are the exploding crabs which kills a melee hero and nearly kills my tank when it dies and some enemies just do to much damage and one shot a unit regardless of their armor or health this needs to be more balanced in my opinion it annoying how some enemies just can slaughter your fighters and Heroes with zero effort plus the place where you can get Fighter EXP is so little to the Worker’s EXP which you get like 1 million exp for workers but 71K for Fighters ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Devs *2024-10-22, version 2.36* I love the game very challenging but when will the devs put out a update it’s been 2 years can you guys update the game so we can unlock more stuff different characters and different levels ### 5/5 — The best game *2024-09-22, version 2.36* This is the best game ever created i would play this 24/7 ### 5/5 — Wow *2024-07-06, version 2.36* This is the best game in the world ### 5/5 — review *2022-12-30, version 2.36* i love this game but it keeps crashing:/ and i can’t do siege’s anymore cause it says something went wrong. ### 5/5 — Crashes every 5 minutes *2022-12-30, version 2.36* Good if it doesn’t crash every 5 minutes ### 5/5 — Pas mal pas pire pantoute *2022-09-12, version 2.7* Amusant pas mal ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2022-05-24, version 1.5.108* Fun to play for hours at a time ### 5/5 — More Appealing Shelter game *2022-04-16, version 1.5.102* Reminds me of Zombie Shelter with better design, waiting to see what the negative stuff was about but I’ll keep playing till something stops me or what. I don’t know, I need something to waste time with… 🫡 ### 5/5 — Good game. *2021-10-24, version 1.5.55* I like strategy game. This one fits like it’s borderlands ### 5/5 — Perfect game *2021-10-21, version 1.5.55* Been playing for the last two months and it has been good. Great concept. The daily rewards add incentive. Kinda like FS, but this one 3D. (Not actual 3D). Has some similarities. But I like this one better. Good character designs. Interior designs. Good enough story that keeps moving. It's a little reminiscent of Boarder Lands. Seems like there's more possibilities ahead. There's a little 'pay to play' option, but that's up to you if you want to take the short cut or the long way. Enjoyed it tremendously until something went wrong with my account and I lost my data. The development team responded and helped restore my account quite fast. When the developer responds to you, it shows that they are committed to the game. For me that's a big plus point. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
