Good, but its such a RAM hog, I boosted my phone and saw that it eats about 720mb of ram while its running... if your phone isnt a high end spec type of phone it will probably be a bad gaming experience, crashing/freezing. Its a slow and steady game, not for impatient folks. I like it though. The accidental dragging of dwellers is high key annoying fyi. Would I recommend? Not sure to be honest.

U70%
by U####:

Dont even think about playing this game. It will make you go insane. Here's why: 1. Wasted too much time waiting for the game to load (either when loading a vault or entering a quest) 2. Frequently it just froze and crashed (only few times it didnt crash) 3. Constant lag when you have >100 dwellers (ram not even fully utilised) 4. Easily get bored cause less thing to do Not worth the time spent!!!

Like the game but it's crashing quite often on phone or tablet while switching between vaults or encounters or missions. Also sometimes really hard to choose dweller especially when they are one after another and even worse when vault under attack and you have to heal and use radaway as they all stand in crowd. It would be good to heal them while looking on a dweller list. Also sometimes to tap on caps and bottle is really hard. It works from 4-5 times even magnified. The same thing with stranger encounter.

A great little game. Resources are a bit scarce at times, but who doesn't love a good challenge. Keep up the good work. UPDATE: I recently installed the newest update, everything was going great, up until the second day! My game is now refusing to load and I lost everything. I had an Experimental M.I.R.V that i spent 3 hours trying to get and now it's gone! Please fix this.

O70%

I've been playing this game for a few days now. It is quite addictive, but I wished the game was a bit more challenging. Since the second day it has been pretty easy to keep the dwellers satisfied and produce enough resources. I do see some monsters and stuff in the screenshots that I haven't come across yet. I hope they are more of a challenge than those wimpy raiders. I'm still motivated to unlock all the rooms though.

I love this game, though I do have some ideas for improvements. 1) A family tree of your dwellers, because once you start reproduction, it gets difficult to remember who's related to who. 2) Additional security features for the entrance. 3) You could make a trade caravan come around every so often, that'd be neat. All in all, it's great... But you've got to keep improving, keep adding more rooms and stuff (Maybe a Children of the Atom church room? Some Ghoul citizens? A bobblehead collection?)

Crashes constantly!!!! Sometimes when I try to play it will let me for a minute or two, but more and more often it's crashing after 10 seconds or less or not even loading completely before crashing. Other weird issues too... I started a second vault when crashing first started, thinking it might be related to how I was playing the game but then I had deathclaws attack when I had 11 dwellers, zero guns, zero stimpaks and very limited coins.. I guess I was lucky it crashed mid-attack or else all of my dwellers would have been dead without the coins to revive them. Currently the app is just a giant waste of space... It seemed like it might be fun, so I might try again if they can update/fix the constant crashing, but currently I see zero point in playing a game that actively decreases my fun if I even attempt to play it

Good settlement builder. Enjoy the idle chat the dwellers have amongs themselves. Missions are good,always liked exploring dungeons Bethesda creates. Wish there were more random encounters happening inside the vault and while your dweller is exploring the waste. Needs more ways to earn nuka cola quantum. Could lessen the amount of time reaching missions or have instant start missions from time to time in the overseers room.

Great game, though it gets hard later as resources deplete, you get attacked by raiders and loads of bugs and stuff. Here's what I think should be added: Defenses to protect your Base from raiders etc. You should be able to build things over ground. Windmills and solar panels would be cool. There should be a family tree or something like that you lose track of who's related. Also adding drama would make the game more interesting and have dwellers make friends/enemies etc. Children should at least be able to study in classroom or something instead of doing nothing. Instead of just clicking Explore and looking at their log you should be able to see and interact with locations around you instead of being stuck in your Base except for quests. Apart from this though the game is great, possibly the best free game out there.

FANTASTIC. Been waiting for a mobile game that I really enjoy; don't know why I took so long to try it out! Two small things: 1, game sometimes crashes while returning from a quest. 2, sometimes I have to try 5 or 6 times to select the correct dweller, but I think that's mobile just being mobile. All in all though, two thumbs way up!!!

Great game! You don't need to buy anything to play. Only problem it crashes loading from time to time. 2GB of memory not enough. Got into a crash loop on an wasteland location. I'm reinstalling right now-- did not know it would delete all my vaults!?

The game keeps getting better. Enable the Vault people to rise to the surface by starting to live and rebuild the cities (water stations, power stations, food centers, military construction centers, etc.). Re-populate the cities followed by military buildup. Conversely, emerging equivalent military groups with infantry, tanks, aircrafts and nuclear weapons may or may not (depending on skill and experience) cause the destruction and scatter of the people living in the surface thus forcing a return to the Vault. The events next time may be different than previous cycle(s) if Vault survival is necessary. The view of the screen could be enlarge by zoom out/in. Great work! The game is fabulous! I'll give you 5 stars if some approach to this review is made.

I enjoy this style of game. It seems that all of it's bugs are worked out, I have had no technical issues with it on any level. Thank you for the great game Bethesda! Oh, and for all your other great games! (All of them! Don't think you guys could make a bad game even if you tried!)

I love it! Any real can of Fallout must try it! There is a learning curve at the beginning though. I had to start three different vaults before I had a successful one going. It's deep, challenging, and you can do things your own way. Great game!

I loved the game. I used money. I thought the lag was bad but if you have around 100 dwellers its fine. I hate the fact that I just lost about £40 because it AUTOMATICALLY DELETED my save after their damn birthday sale. FURIOUS and hope to either get the lunchboxes back or a refund. I lost a months gameplay and 3 lunchbox packs as well as one pets pack that I bought during the sale. NOT HAPPY BETHESDA, not happy at all.

Better now that you fixed some bugs. The game still crashes once in a while though. I have some suggestions to make the game better. Add behemoths as mega boss fights and make the behemoths drop legendary gear. Add raider power armour. Add the vault boy hair cut. Make it so pets have the ability to do damage. Add bloat flies. Add all the creatures and robots from fallout 4. Add weapon modifications. Add friendly npc camps that you can trade in. If you're reading this Bethesda, pls add at least 3 of these.

Was a 5 star game all the way through... Until I saw for myself the Cloud function is utterly useless... What is the point of having it when your vault gets lost anyways? Regardless of what happens to people's phones and data, the Cloud is *supposed* to retrieve saves in those instances. Lost 2 years worth of time, work, and dwellers... I can rate 5 if this gets fixed

Amazing game with loads new in depth detail. Strong graphics and customisation of dwellers, almost makes you connect to them, (combined with their comical remarks). Quests are enjoyable and a good way to move forward in the game, which is a good touch because before, after a limited time of constant playing, you would find yourself bored. Very skill based and the option of having 3 different vaults encourages you too try many different styles of play. Overall a great game and would recommend to all who want a game which has depth and some time can be put in to. Not pay to win until you reach a very high level then it becomes increasingly difficult to unlock more weapons, outfits and dwellers...

G70%
by G####:

Crashes too often, loading can be long before it crashes when going from vault to quests. Can't seem to get cloud storage on my vault to work. Picking up loot on quests can be hard because dwellers​ stand in front of objectives. Other than these few things that I have been able to look past, the app is great fun! The crafting times are a bit long too actually! A week with 3 crafting time decrease pets? Ouch. I have 200 dwellers you know. Can't spend a week per dweller, that's rediculous.

Its a good game. I mean it really is. Somethings need to get better. The loading time is ridiculous. When you first start, it takes about 2 min just to load up. Secondly, i hate how your game doesnt pause when you exit out of it. Seriously, that's stupid. I can have perfect food, water, and power, and then when i come back from work or out on a smoke break, all my stuff is low. Other than that, I really do enjoy it.

Th game is what it is, amazing. It runs well, and is always a blast to play, truly the best micro managing game ive come across, however, the load time needs to be improved a bit. It sucks having to wait to play this awesome game. Also, there have been crashes when loading in quests, though upon reloading the game, it starts at the quest, so its not terrible. Very very good game, just needs a bit of cleaning.

I have been playing this game a very long time and absolutely love it. Although if you were to implement a small change to the game I think it would make it alot easier to use when you're playing the game later on. If you could please update so that players can move rooms rather than empty them and demolish just to get a better layout so it's easier on the eye.

Excellent mini game with a mix of strategy,action and humour. Fits well with the other fallout games even if not exactly the same vein. Best of all you can play the game fully without having to use in-app purchases

Love this gem of a game. I'm having problems when loading other apps, but am sure it is only my phone. Love that you can have three vaults going at a time. Be sure to load to the cloud via the main menu. Enjoy...I know I am :)

Always crashes and is very annoying... Cant even play it anymore it crashes while its trying to load...wont let me play still if i cant play why do i even have this game seriously please fix this... Still does nothing but crash on me and it's very annoying specially whenever I get a lunchbox and it crashes while opening it and then I have no idea what I even got...

by G####:

It's a ton of fun, a great time sink, and is well designed for a Free to Play game. The biggest problem is that it has some serious memory management issues. As a result it crashes on loading a lot. Once you reopen it, it's fine but it's a sign of poor garbage collection.

Damn fun game! DId one restart, and late game involves a lot of looking for sought after items and maximizing your vault. Can play slow to medium paced, relaxing game. Also play on my desktop pc by transferring saves. Addictive and with longevity.

It's cool. If only the time it takes to do the quests weren't so ridiculously long, I would play it more often. Edit 05/06/17: I bought a pack of nuka cola of $4,99 and the game crashed. When I logged in again, the 32 nuke colas weren't in my vault. Once that's solved, I'll rate the game 5* again. Sidenote: you should add a "complete purchase" button in the game menu for this type of situation.

It's a great game in have 70 people now and it does take a while to load sometimes. People who complain about deathclaws killing everyone must not have gotten the memo, you can merge rooms. 2 people vs 3 deathclaws of course they're going to kill off the vault. Deathclaws usually only make it through 2 rooms in my vault. Haven't lost a dweller yet from an attack of any kind. If the game is the only thing open it helps with the long loading periods. 10/10 in my eyes

D70%
by D####:

Game is really good but after like a 1 year of playing, it becomes a bit less engaging, if they added some more random and unique encounters to make it more interesting in the latter game. Or maybe someone could come to your vault and ask door help or if your residents are unhappy, they might protest. But overall the game is awesome and deserves a try.

E70%
by E####:

This game is charming and addictive! Highly worth a play. Does lack a bit of depth in the sense that at 100 dwellers, there's little else to do. I imagine incoming updates will add a bit of extra content. Maybe some more trinkets/rooms to collect would increase longitivity?

I go back in to play my game after a while, my game is completely gone, I'm not able to recover it, after spending alot of money in the game and all the work I put into it, it's just gone. I emailed in to technical support and they said there was nothing they could do. 1 star isn't even good enough for this as how am I supposed to put all this time in a game only to loose all progress and them saying nothing can be done. Disappointed.

K70%
by K####:

Great game overall but a recent update (probably within the last 2 months) it has been burning through my data very quickly. 4gb in the last month. Considering the game works fine while I'm underground, data should be only occasionally used. Prior to two months ago data use was much more reasonable. Hence there must have been a glitch introduced.

Love the game. Everything works good. The only complaint I have is I wish there was a family tree in the status portion of your vault dwellers menu to tell who is whos kid/parents etc. Also like to add that a settlement version of this game should be made. Be cool to build settlements on my phone.

Crashes on most loading screens!! Havinf to reload 4x just to play, I've paid you a fair bit of money playing this game at least you could have the common decency to do something????.....Has been doing so for ages..... gameplay awful, constant fires and infestation after spending hours on a new vault (I play survival btw (not gay))..ffs

This game can go to hell. Had a 52 vault well armed vault dwellers with a good weapons. A mole rat attack, radroach attack, and raider attack happened at the same time. Killed everybody in my vault. Except for 3 dwellers that are coming back from a quest with only 6,000 on them. Now imma have to try and use as much money as i can to revive as much as i can. Uninstalling.

Loved the game, got up to 70 dwellers before my entire vault was killed. Every single person was armed. The vault attacks get way too ridiculously hard and honestly ruined the entire game. Oh well lots of time spent wasted never playing again.

Save your time and play any other game. I love fallout, survival mode the whole deal. This version is so danm infuriating I'm pissed I purchased ingame items hoping they would help. Never ending crisis, no way to get a head till you have 0 vault dwellers. They you can't do anything but the disasters don't end. Give up now and save yourself some time.

fun and easy to use, no real right way to play. one complaint is that the enemies are ridiculously hard to kill some times, i have 3 level 50s with 20+ damage weps and they all get wiped out agent even just one room of a boss, evwn with 25+ stimpacks. im not sure after what update this happened but it never used to be this way. kind of annoying personally.
