Reviews
The developers threw away a promising game that could have become a classic for relaxing gaming sessions. The game's progression feels good during the first few hours, but it quickly becomes obvious that buying a pass gives you around 20× more rewards, making progression much faster and far more enjoyable. It would have been much better to make the game paid at a low price to reach more players and remove the pass system entirely. Right now, it feels like the monetization is hurting the game's integrity.
I still remember downloading Fallout Shelter on my phone back in 2016... Fast forward nearly a decade, and this little vault manager still makes me play it from time to time. It’s rare for an initially mobile game to have that kind of staying power, but it has truly become a comforting part of my gaming routine. Ten years is a long time to stick with one game, but Fallout Shelter has been a cozy, nostalgic constant through so many changes in my own life. If you want a fun, charming, and genuinely relaxing management game with a lot of soul, this is it.

This is a very fun game, but I do recommend playing on phone so you can get rewards by watching ads to progress.

good game
I like how you get to build your own little bunker and explore the wasteland and try to get as much dwellers as possible.
Great game for when you need to kill a few minutes
Sympa, dans le même style que clash of clans, mais en mode survivaliste. Malgré que le jeu soit cool, le jeu te pousse à dépenser pas mal d'argent pour que ça aille plus vite, c'est son seul point négatif.
I know it looks like I've "played" this game for a lot of hours, but it was actually just open on an inactive laptop for a long time. It's actually pretty boring, but I was intrigued by the "experimental vaults" so I left it installed and used it on the new laptop. The "experimental vaults" don't even work right. 2 fully upgraded water and diners and a "Nuka Cola" with 100 peeps and the needles don't move on food or water. Just hard pass this one. I'm uninstalling. It's not even fun at all in any way.
