Every new room you unlock and make adds more to the game, like Weapon and Item Development or Living Quarters for increasing your population. This is a much more complex process than it sounds.

Some can provide power to keep it up and running while others can be assigned to Diners and Water Treatment Plants to maintain food and water to keep the residents alive to keep maintainig the vault. You bring residents in and assign them jobs to keep the vault going. Your goal is to create a good vault environment to attract residents to expand it and keep the process going. The basics of the game is that you’re in a sim. Across the entirety of the game, you will be building and expanding a vault by recruiting residents and creating rooms to not only keep the vault running, but ever-expanding. Gameplayįallout Shelter is a free-to-play “City-building” Simulation game. It certainly won’t be winning any awards, but it does have some interesting tidbits to keep you occupied and interested in the Quests/Raids you’re doing.

Each Quest gives you information about stuff that’s going on and the further you get into the chain, the more you learn about the areas you visit and the plot around those people. There’s not a “Main” story to this game, but once you unlock Quests, you do have a very Fallout-esque feel to the Quest Chains. As the Overseer, your task is to recruit people to live in your vault and keep the vault running by running power generators, creating weapons for defending your home, and expanding to make it a good place to live. The story of Shelter is that you are the Overseer of one of the many Vaults built to shield humanity from going extinct during a Nuclear War.


So, without further delay, here is my review of Fallout Shelter for the Nintendo Switch! Story Bethesda thought to expand its Vault-sim past Mobile, PC, and Xbox One and bring it for PlayStation 4 fans as well as Nintendo Switch fans. At least, outside of PC handhelds like the GPD WIn / Win 2. After some false rumors dropped a few weeks before E3 about a supposed Fallout 3: Anniversary Edition, people were hoping to get some nice, fps, Fallout action on the go. Fallout has come to the Switch, but it isn’t what many people had expected it to be.
