Fallout Shelter

A new Fallout spinoff and no one talks about it!?

Who has played this game? Its a free mobile game for IOS (and Android soon I think)

My ancient iphone 4s can barely play it, but what do you think of it?

So far, I'm not very fond of the game, because the point of it is to micromanage and increase the number of vault dwellers. Whereas the Fallout main series games seem to revolve around the decline of and death of vault dwellers.

I enjoyed it the brief few days I played it. I'm on an ipad2 most of the time and it kept crashing. I might try again now that I might be able to play on my phone, but it's designed as a time waster without a goal. Dont think I really need a time suck that much

Since I recently upgraded to an Iphone 6, I started to play it. I currently have one Vault, (Vault 1) and have ~30 people. I started a program in my vault to train a few Vault Dwellers to max SPECIAL stats.

I'm not sure how to explain this, but hey - it's Fallout :D

I don't think it was terribly good, as it gets bogged down with micro management as soon as the Vault grows to a certain size. I stopped playing once I reached the population cap at 200.

It does feel like some gameplay is there that could work longer term, but this game did not manage to capture it.
