I was expecting so much more from this game but it turned out to be a shallow game. The game could of been the next Clash of Clans, Age of War with some CCG aspects to it and it would of been huge. The game feels Raw and incomplete in it's current state

Some of my gripes are that the game has 0 social aspect, no base attacking, alliances and chat.

The PVE is terribly boring with exploration being just flavor text.

I imagined fallout shelter as being similar to Age of war or Vega conflict where you would have maps with 899 players (picture pip-boy maps with numbered bases). The raiders are other players that attack your vault instead of randomly scripted attacks.

The exploration should of been at least animation of your character traversing the wasteland and actually doing the things that are written and not just text.

All in All i expected a lot more from bethesda, a company that makes amazing games but honestly this time i felt they dropped the ball.

Meh. Never been big on PvP or the "social" aspects in a lot of mobile games. Especially not the RTS-esque games like Clash of Clans. Would rather be left to my own devices rather than having BooBreath123 come in and hamper my progress.

So you're satisfied with the game just being what it is, with no meta? whats the point of collecting all these cool characters and items with no place to use them. As of this moment its just a mindless repitious game. This game is only doing well right now because of the Fall out name, see if anyone is still buying lunch boxes in a month when people find out it has basically no content. The glamour and shine wear out quickly.

Could still be, updates anyone?

I highly doubt they'll implement a major patch to revamp the game. They would have a lot of stuff to do and it would take the months to implement those kind of changes. Honestly, right now i feel the whole Fallout shelter game is just a marketing ploy for hyping up Fallout 4.

You kids these days "needing" your meta...I don't want to worry about getting raided...I don't care either way if there's a social aspect or not.

Yes I agree but your comparing it to a game that is about 2 or 3 years old so there is plenty of money in mobile gaming, they will prob maintain and improve after the popular reaction. They would be foolish not to.


I agree with you that it could have been a lot more polished to begin with, it still crashes quite a bit for me. However the pvp thing might not be a great road to go down in terms of players halting other players progress.


A social aspect in other ways might be a good idea though.

Exactly.!!!

Okay gramps, i know the meta maybe too hardcoe for you geezers but relax its not scary, you won't break a hip. but seriously i just want the game to do well. It has a great concept behind it but when you play further down the line, you realize the game has almost no content whatsoever.

In regards to the halting other players progress, other games have implemented ways to prevent such things from happening such as player protection after being attacked.

No thanks that's a hassle this game doesn't need, it could be improved in other ways me thinks. Could just be a fallout 4 hyperbole like you mentioned earlier though.

I don't think it was meant to be something super serious. I actually find it to be a pretty fun game. I also don't think its some marketing ploy for Fallout 4. In fact, I don't even remember seeing the game mentioning Fallout 4 at all.

So how do you think this game can be better? enlighten me please. i see a lot of naysayers without suggestion. This game could have been all jpg images and just text and fan boys would still defend it.

Well said, enjoy it for what it is. I would like more rooms and more content and no crashes but do enjoy it as it is.

I just don't think pvp fits this game, it's more chilled out to me but that's just my opinion. I just mentioned more rooms, I like the animated exploring idea you mentioned as well.

more rooms is not more content, it's like people who think adding 10 more levels to an mmo is more content.

Edit: just wanted to add there is a reason why this game is rated with 3 and a half stars on the apple store.

That would be a mistake for Bethesda, this thing is making $$$$$ for their mobile side, they should try to maintain the quality of it

It's a cute game for mobile devices.

That's it.

For what it is, it's surprisingly good - think how awful some of these games are.

They slapped together an iphone game for people to play while waiting for Fallout4 in a few months. I appreciate the Fallout fix and hope this is the start of a trend. I cant wait for Fallout shelter 2 right before Fallout 5, hopefully they make some of the changes you want. I actually want them to make a 3/4 overhead RPG like the originals like this too.

I don't really care for PvP or the social aspects of Mobile games. I'd like for them to expand on PvE and add a little story maybe, that'd be nice.

Bethesda, please, don't listen to those Clash of Clans fools who want PvP - this game should never have it!!!

Although i agree with the lack social aspect, but i think that's what they have in mind - the game will be expanding and adding depth in time with more vault management stuff, achievements, a Wasteland map with places, goals and milestones, maybe vault decoration rooms (who wants an Overseer office at the top of the vault and your own avatar in game? I defenitely do). There is A LOT of room for further development - just stay tuned you guys!

So people are fools because they disagree with your point of view? There is nothing wrong with a imitating some of the aspects of a successful game, many of the highest grossing games have PVP.

I could have used so many words instead of fools which are more harsh, but I deliberately chose the softest one because, well, tastes differ. In my opinion there is too much PvP games on the market and all of them are a waste of time and money. No matter how much time and money you spend on that type of game, there always will be someone (often from China) who has more time and more money than you to waste on a game. In fact, i know several people who base their entire lifes (sleeping, eating, working etc...) according to battle schedules of those games... Whether it is a matter of competitiveness, a sense of accomplishment, a brand loyalty or just a pure addtiction - everyone has their own cryptonite, and that's why those kind of games are successfull. Modern mobile gaming is a disease created to svck money from people (which is becoming more and more of a problem), but Bethesda showed that they don't treat their fans like giant wallets - this game is balanced and does not encourage you to spend real money to get further. And that says a lot in my point of view. Look at what Gameloft has become. Just one example from many - the latest Dungeon Hunter is designed very smart - it becomes impossible to play without spending money after spending a descent amount of time playing what is a great concept of a game - Dungeon Hunter 1 and 2 are still my favourites in mobile gaming by the way. Also look at what Disney is doing to Star Wars - I understand that they are trying to bring back as much money as possible, but the way they do it - no respect for fans and it seems like they have no shame at all - Star Wars Force Collection is exactly the kind of game which gets you addicted, especially if you are Star Wars fan, but to get 5 star cards there you must spend real money, there is absolutely no other way. On top of that, you have to spend ridiculous amount of money, as card packs are really expensive plus the chances of getting 5 star cards from them are miserable. So you have to be extremely lucky to get one descent 5 star card, but there are something like 12 cards in a deck... It gets more and more complicated the longer you play it, untill you finally realise that you have already spent a small fortune on a game, but you need to spend a lot more on top of that to proceed any further... True story, I have spent around ?200 on that game, and i am a massive Star Wars fan. Disney is ruining the franchise for me with those games(along with many other moneygrabbing gestures) and I hate to admit that.

Sorry for the long reply, I'm just sick and tired of companies so shamelessly svcking money from their fans. I miss those times when gaming was "Pay once and Play". And thumbs up to Bethesda for making a mobile game which finds a balance between those two concepts.

I think you've misunderstood what i'm trying to say, no one is asking bethesda to copy the same business model as these companies (microtransaction). I'm asking for content that has already been deemed successful in other mobile games. I don't get the majority of your point, are you trying to say you want this game to have less content because games like COC or Starwars Force collection makes you spend too much and have an addiction. I think you need to re-evaluate your life if that's the case.

Oh no, what i'm trying to say is that they should expand the game, but in another direction, not PvP. What you are trying to suggest is for the game to be another Clash of Clans or whatever wannabe, which we have already too much. Microtransactions are a core part of those games, PvP comes with that business model. Mind me, the fact of those kind of companies spending more than $4 million on one actress just to promote their game shows how much people spend on this kind of gaming, which is basically wrong. I have re-evaluated my life long time ago, Star Wars was the only mistake i made because i simply got fooled into believing that it is worth to advance in that game. And i'm sure that millions of people currently wasting their money in games like Clash of Clans or Game of War will sooner or later realise that as well. Otherwise, we won't see an end to all that microtransactional nonsence we see all around us nowadays.
