★★★★☆ luis lopez · Oct 19, 2026
I love the game I've been playing this for 10 years now. But I got one problem the rad scorpion needs to stop ive been constantly having rad scorpion everyday now and every time im doing something BOOM rad scorpion give me break please im tired of dealing with them, and I got 4 power fusion room and still not cutting it
★★★★☆ 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
★☆☆☆☆ Yuri Cardoso · Oct 6, 2026
Can we please for the love of God remove or either lower the chances by high on how death claw can spawn 3 spawn in 3 days day 1 of playing I got one day 2 got another one 3 day got another and lost 20-30 of my people I used to had 70 now I only got 50-60 thanks a lot of game
★☆☆☆☆ Becca S · Oct 4, 2026
Very poor experience, I watch an ad for an item, and it doesn't give items, Every time I installed this game a new issue or bug would happen. It's not even worth a report. It's not my job to make your game with reports as you take you jolly time fixing them. I really don't like Bethesda any more fallen they have
★☆☆☆☆ Doran Fast · Oct 19, 2026
What's the point of playing experimental vaults when you can't keep anything. That alone has made me lose complete interest in this game.
★☆☆☆☆ Trapper Wolfman · Oct 19, 2026
Horrible experimental sucks adds don't work can't get token like advertised im going to sue for false advertisement needs a list of people to comment sue to get a case going
