The Art of Survival in Fallout Shelter Games

This mobile game by Bethesda Softworks was a horrendous game when it first appeared. This game is a spinoff series of the Fallout Saga that has existed since 1997. The newest series is Fallout Shelter. Fallout Shelter is available for Android as well as iOS. Fallout Shelter now no longer carries the concept of RPG but simulation.

Play As Overseer

Fallout Shelter presents the survival simulation genre of the Wasteland people who must work together to achieve prosperity in the shelter. Starting to run Fallout Shelter, maybe many players think that this is a simple game that presents cartoon-style visuals that are not excessive. However, the fact is that this game is not just a simulation game to survive in a makeshift shelter.

In this game, the player acts as an Overseer, which can be interpreted as a controller in a Vault or shelter. Players must bring the dwellers or people of the Wasteland to be placed in the Vault as workers. That is the task of Fallout Shelter players in leading a number of dwellers so that they can survive by working.

Not only that, Fallout Shelter players also need to build lots of rooms with different uses. Well, the Vault or shelter turns out to be standing on a two-dimensional grid-sized cliff where when observed by zooming out it looks like an ant house. The room made is 1×3 in size, equipped with an elevator with a size of 1×1. The 1×3 room in the shelter can be expanded so that its size is now 1×6 or 1×9. Players can expand the room up to three times with the aim of accommodating more dwellers working.

Caps Currency

It must be noted that making a room in Fallout Shelter is definitely not free. That's right, players must buy with a currency called Caps following the price set for each room. Players actually have another alternative, namely using the Lunchbox bonus. But you can also pay using real money. The lunchbox contains a number of cards that provide bonus weapons and costumes and not infrequently also Caps.

The types of rooms that can be made in Fallout Shelter are: Living Quarters, Elevators, Power Generators, Water Treatment, Diner, Storage Room, Science Lab, Medbay, Radio Studio, Athletics Room, Weight Room, Armory, Fitness Room, Classroom, Lounge , Game Room, Garden, Nuclear Reactor, Nuka-Cola Bottler and Water Purification . Each room has its own provisions regarding the number of dwellers that can fill the Vault to build it.

After creating a basic room, players must maintain it with a 3 bar meter indicator consisting of water, power and food. So, of course, the dweller must work in order to obtain resources to meet the bar meter.

Mating Process

Dwellers who arrived were not all at once in large numbers. Fallout Shelter players will certainly feel a crisis, so they need a large number of dwellers so they can work faster to build rooms. One of the uniqueness of Fallout Shelter is that players can mate with dwellers to produce offspring. Children who are born grow quickly to then be employed as adults. Simply by bringing together two different dwellers in Living Quarters for the mating process.

Skill Dwellers

Players can also send dwellers to the Wasteland to get new things. To do this, tap and then swipe the dweller to exit the Vault. The dwellers who were sent earlier will find a variety of unique useful items when they return home. Dwellers can die if the health meter is empty. This is experienced when the dweller has finished fighting with monsters or raiders encountered in the middle of the road. Because of that, players can treat dwellers using Stimpak.

Fallout Shelter players can also change costumes and weapons according to their abilities. Updates to costumes and weapons automatically strengthen dweller skills when working or facing enemies. The various skills mastered by dwellers are Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility and Luck, abbreviated as SPECIAL. Players will be busy honing the skills of dwellers to make them more proficient.

Fallout Shelter is a simulation game that is fun but also challenging because players must be able to manage the dwellers to survive. In the end, players who have completed the final Vault will see how crowded the rooms are with dwellers. Usually players don't know what to do anymore.
