In no moment did I feel forced to spend a few extra bucks in order to further develop my vault.

You can also buy loot boxes that come filled with money and extra items, but once again, you can easily earn them in-game as well. You can actually earn bottles of Nuka Cola by completing some very easy challenges the game will randomly provide you on a daily basis, such as producing 100 units food or killing a couple of raiders. Those moments aren’t exactly essential in order to make you progress through the game however.

Granted, Fallout Shelter does feature the typical waiting times you can find in any other F2P title out there and as always, you can buy special items (bottles of Nuka Cola, how appropriate) that can speed up these processes, such as instantly finishing a wasteland scavenging or training a dweller in one of the many types of training rooms you can build. You may be wondering: what’s the catch, though? This is a F2P title so it must have a catch, a way to make you want to spend money in it. The gameplay loop isn’t exactly complex, nor it needs to be: it’s simple and a little bit rewarding. As you increase the size and population of your vault, you can start sending some dwellers out on missions across the wasteland, as well as equip them with newly-researched weaponry in order to defend the vault against mutated beasts and human raiders. It’s up to you to build rooms, assign dwellers to specific rooms according to their skills, produce enough resources in order to keep your population fed and healthy, earn money in order to build new rooms, rinse and repeat.

That guy from Super Seducer should learn from the master.įallout Shelter‘s gameplay is simple: you’re in charging of building and managing your own vault.
