E3 2015: Fallout Shelter

If you guys didn't know i am a huuuuuuge mobile gamer. There is nothing like an amazing mobile game to transform your phone or tablet into the console you always wanted.

Moments ago, Bethesda announced Fallout Shelter at E3. Omg, it looks amazing!!! The point of the game is you are the creator and directer of your very own vault. You build it, take care of the people inside it and control it. An extremely cool feature that I like is that you can micro manage the people and their lives. Being the SIMmer I am, the thought of training, leveling up and watching my community grow, brings me to a "super hyped" level for this game. Inside the vault, there are tons of different things for your people to do, including jobs that you train and assign them to do. 

Apart of keeping your vault going is ensuring that it has enough food and water to sustain your people. Another cool aspect is that there are also challenges like, raiders, accidents, and even bug infestations... Gross lol. All in all, i'm so excited for this game to come out. Back to E3!!!

UPDATE:

I have been playing Fallout Shelter for about 2 weeks now. I absolutely love it!!! It's everything I love about mobile games. It's addictive, free, and gives you the ability to progress at a satisfying rate. Unlike most in app purchase games, Fallout Shelter is realistically playable without having to purchase bottle caps and lunch boxes. It feels fair, which I believe empowers the player and shows them respect by not forcing their hand if they want to continue to play. Unlocking rooms and adding dwellers is the perfect balance of ease and challenge, though for me personally keeping them happy is a task I find nearly impossible lol. I have yet to find the right equation for supplying my vault with enough resources but I am far from giving up. To be honest, I actually find this challenge to be one of my favorite aspects of this game. I love when a game gives me all the pieces and leaves it up to me to figure out how to make them work.

The only thing I don't like in this game is the freaking roaches. When you rush a rooms production and fail, you can be hit with an incident. The incident is either a fire breaks out or the room is infested by roaches. These roaches in my opinion are extremely over powered and kill even my strongest, armed dwellers. I can't tell you how many times I've lost nearly my whole vault population to these pests. Thank god I keep the women pregnant lol.

All in all this game is great and definitely worth a download. Unfortunately it is currently only available in the App Store, but it will be released for Android in a matter of months I believe.
