honestly a pretty good game. However, I do have trouble with my dwellers happiness. Once you have low resource on any of food, water, or power, it can be incredibly difficult to get back up in that stuff. Also, regarding the events and experimental vaults, I wouldn't bother with them. Anyway, pretty good game, definitely deemed worthy of 4 stars.

enjoying the game. always loved fallout. like the concept of survival games and management. game is like any typical mobile game. there are some nuances that aren't clear, like the fact that one you upgrade a room it doesn't appear as though you can merge it which is a shame therefore becomes a money trap via demolishing. movement of characters is a bit lame sometimes you can't tell what they are doing especially during fighting. other than that its an okay game as far as mobile games go

Great game, but it's got issues. so many instances of the game not loading up, or adverts not giving the rewards it's supposed to (and killing the sound in the process), it seems 50/50 if cloud saves are available. I haven't been able to load up the game from the main menu all morning. Edit: Developer's cookie cutter reply doesn't meet the context of my review in the slightest.
