That's my theory, and I’m sticking to it. Slow and steady wins the race, in the right circumstances. My game style has been to concentrate on building up the base first, getting the resource production right, sending out an occasional Dweller into the Wasteland for resources, and only then sending some Dwellers off on Quests. Whilst some of my Dwellers have died (don’t worry, they were revived no need to get out your black armbands just yet), I haven't even come close to being defeated.

However, I suspect that they might not have managed their resources properly, and their bases suffered accordingly. Some reviewers of the game have complained about how their base was wiped out by attackers. You are the Overseer of an underground fallout shelter.Īs the introduction to the game states, “As Overseer, your job is to expand and maintain the Vault, while keeping your Dwellers safe and happy”. Played right, it should be an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend that players manually back-up their saved game files.įallout Shelter is a great little game. Judging by the number of posts in the Steam discussion forums from people complaining about losing their entire game (a fair enough complaint), this is a significant problem. This may especially occur if you have a power failure with your computer.

Note: Perhaps the most important part of this guide is the second-last section, 'Backing up your saved game files for Fallout Shelter', as many people have had problems with their saved game files becoming corrupted (which apparently affects their Steam cloud file as well).

The first few sections of this guide's contents have been arranged in the estimated order of which new players will need the information other sections are arranged thematically.
