About Fallout Shelter

Fallout Shelter is a free-to-play simulation game based on Bethesda Game Studios’ popular Fallout franchise. Originally released as a mobile game, the game became popular enough that Bethesda decided to release a version for PC. As with most sim games, Fallout Shelter requires the player to take care and manage a small society of people known as “Dwellers.” This is done by meeting their needs, food, water, power, etc. Dwellers can be made useful to the vault society by managing their stats and training them for specific things. Characters with high stats in specific things will be able to generate higher amounts of resources for the community. In addition, the community is grown by either waiting for new people to arrive or by pairing a male and female dweller to create children. Players can build a wide variety of rooms for the vault dwellers to use; everything from rooms to generate resources, to training rooms, and recreational areas. Another feature of Fallout Shelter is exploration. Players can send dwellers into the wasteland on missions and to seek out new locations. Of course, these dwellers should be properly trained and geared, or they won’t last long.
