Fallout Shelter is a free-to-play simulation game from Bethesda Softworks, set in the post-apocalyptic Fallout universe and suitable for everyone who enjoys management games. It puts the player in complete control of a state-of-the-art underground Vault from Vault-Tec, which is built and customized according to their own chosen design. As the Overseer, the player embarks on a mission to build the best Vault and ensure that the other characters, the Dwellers, are kept happy and satisfied. These Dwellers live underground, and they need protection to ensure that they are not exposed to and do not fall victim to the dangers of the Wasteland. It is important that the player assigns every Dweller to a room that produces power, food or water, trains their S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats and equips them with weapons and outfits. The Dwellers are happier when they work in rooms that match their skills, and happy, well-equipped Dwellers make the Vault more productive and better prepared for attacks.

The game lets players customize their own layout, send Dwellers out to explore the Wasteland and go on quests, craft weapons and outfits, and defend the Vault against raiders, radroaches, fires and other incidents. Players are able to select from a variety of modern rooms to turn an excavation 2,000 feet beneath the ground into the very picture of Vault Life. The game started on iOS and Android and later came to Windows PCs, where it is available on Steam and in the Microsoft Store. It is free to download and offers optional in-app purchases such as lunchboxes, pets and Mr. Handy robots, and a harder Survival Mode is available for experienced players. Progress is saved in three separate Vault slots, and each slot can be switched to a cloud save for backup.

Engage in various activities and tasks in order to optimize your own vault and keep the Dwellers happy.
