Such a great game, only thing I wish is that there were different locations to explore outside your shelter, like when you send some of your dwellers to explore you don't actually get to see them. But nothing worth complaining about really. Still the game is fun
★★★★★lady peace· Oct 6, 2026
This is a really good version of the game same with the original, but fallout threes, the best version in vegas peak fallout games seem to follow rooms peak
★★★★☆FIL N· Sep 24, 2026
Excellent game. Only reason for 4 stars is Google Play Services and large vaults. If you tick the box to save the vault in the cloud everything is fine when you start but thw moment you are at 200 dwellers and everything built and a few teams out on quests the play services works overtime and overheats any phone I tried and drains a full battery in 30 minutes
★☆☆☆☆Samanthia Priest (Sam)· Sep 24, 2026
The game was causing Google Play Services to continuous run in background, so I reinstalled the game and lost my vault. Im very sad about it.
★★☆☆☆Robert Damron· Sep 18, 2026
Dam thing doesn't work most of the time watch ad Rewards to 30 minutes on the wasteland also doesn't stay connected to the internet with Wi-Fi or without I know it's not my phone because it's only happening with this game I like Fallout I play Fallout 76 a lot have fun with the shelter because it was a really fun game when it first came out so if you can Bethesda please fix it or tell me another platform it works better on
★☆☆☆☆Wanbli Hamilton· Oct 13, 2026
Fallout Shelter has become just another Ad packed money suck.
★★☆☆☆Mina Loves Cats· Oct 14, 2026
Am I the only one whose battery life is destroyed whenever I have this game installed? Without the game installed, my phone battery lasts 10+ hours of use. With the game installed, it is lasting 3–4 hours.
