Fallout Shelter

The Mobile Game of the Year for 2016, as awarded by the DICE Awards, is a highly acclaimed game that has also won the 2015 Golden Joystick for Best Handheld/Mobile Game. According to GamesBeat, it may just be the best free-to-play game available. Gizmodo also praises it, calling it the best game of E3 2015. GameZone describes it as simple to play yet incredibly addictive.

In this game, players are tasked with building the perfect vault underground, beneath 2,000 feet of bedrock. They can choose from a variety of modern-day rooms to create a thriving community and lead their Dwellers to happiness. By assigning them ideal jobs and providing them with outfits, weapons, and training, players can improve their Dwellers' abilities.

One of the unique features of this game is the ability to customize Dwellers by turning junk into useful items through Crafting. Players can also change their appearance at the Barbershop. A well-run Vault requires a diverse mix of skilled Dwellers, which can be attracted through a Radio Room. Players can also play matchmaker and watch their Dwellers' personal lives unfold.

But the game is not just about managing the Vault. Players can also send their Dwellers above ground to explore the post-nuclear wasteland and find valuable loot, gain experience, and earn Caps. However, they must also be prepared to protect their Vault from external and internal threats.

Vault-Tec provides the tools for players to build their perfect Vault, but the rest is up to them. The game is available for free, so there's no reason not to start building your Vault today.
