So, Bethesda software has been getting a lot of crap lately for the disaster that is Fallout 76. So I thought I could toss them a bone and highlight a great game they released a few years back that hasn't gotten the attention I think it deserves. That game is Fallout Shelter.
Fallout Shelter is a free-to-play, resource gathering sim with some exploration and story elements thrown in for flavor. Simple, silly, and all around easy to get into, this game probably isn't for diehard fanatics of the fancier console fare, but if you like Fallout and need something to play on your mobile device, this game is actually quite good.
And despite there being micro-transactions in it, you never really feel like it's a forced element of the game. You can happily chug along, growing the residency of your vault without ever feeling like you need to buy something just to progress. Which is nice.
Seeing as how it's a free mobile game, it's nice that Bethesda gives you three different save files, one of which can be cloud saved. Other technical features I've appreciated; easy to use menu structure, and good tutorial. To many mobile games just toss you in and let you flounder. It's frustrating. This title doesn't do that. Shelter makes sure you're on a decent footing before letting you loose in the world.
Other than that, I can't say anything really negative about Fallout: Shelter. It's a solid free-to-play title with lots of character, and easy to comprehend gameplay. It's nice and refreshing to play a Bethesda title that just works.
