In Fallout: Shelter, you are a Vault Overseer. You must ensure that your dwellers are happy, you have to make sure everything is full - make sure you don't run out of power, food or water - and you must ensure that your shelter is safe for your dwellers to live in.
As a fan of the Fallout series on Xbox, I saw this on Steam and thought that I would grab it and see what it was like. I was expecting something a lot more like the original gaming series, maybe walking through the vault itself. It's not like that at all. It's very much a one dimensional game, with just the layout of your vault in front of you. However, there's a lot that can actually be done in this game and it exceeded the expectations when they dropped upon seeing it when I first opened the game.
This game isn't at all what I thought it would be like. It's a lot of strategy and being ahead of the curve, a lot of being mindful of resources and having to know when to send dwellers out, when to rush things, when to build things. There's a lot that needs to be considered at the same time. It's a little hard on this aspect, but it's actually really fun. I'm having a blast with it, and the achievements definitely make it worthwhile to play, if you're an achievement hunter. This isn't what I thought it would be, but it's a lot funner that I originally expected.
It's definitely a bit of fun and it's free to play on Steam, which is a total bonus! This is totally a play to pass time game, but it's fun for sure, in my opinion.
