Edit: I've had this game for 4 years and there has not been a single addition to the game, if there was an addition it has been immensely unnoticeable. Review has dropped 2 stars. I think it is well worth the price, it plays well doesnt glitch out like people keep saying it does. Ive seen it run flawlessly on three phones (family) No issues on IPhone, Galaxy J7V, and an LG phone.

I would strongly recommend this game. I agree with everyone that the tutorial doesnt touch on nearly half the things that are going to help keep your family alive. But play your first game on easy or normal, its extremely forgiving, and once you get a good grip on the game switch to hardcore mode where every decision will matter a lot and even then things can still depend on luck. Youll probably find yourself forced to become a bandit. Its alot of fun

The game is an excellent concept. Managing your people is fun, and there is a good amount of procedural events that can mess with your attempts to maximize efficiency (not unlike RimWorld). But the controls are awful. I never know what is clickable and have trouble knowing when I've clicked it. Cycling through people is harder than it should be. I need to move my people aside so that they can use the very object they were standing in front of. Expeditions are a neat idea, but you don't get to see much of them (one of Fallout Shelter's biggest flaws). Many of the systems clash. It's fiddly to start or stop a task, and this has led me to for instance, accidentally send my little girl into the wasteland alone without a haz mat suit or a gas mask - 1. I couldn't cancel the expedition; 2. I already put her and her mother in haz mat suits, and then they took them off when going on the mission; and I didn't know that the suits don't have filters, so I didn't think to pack her a gas mask; 3. When I realized they were leaving without suits, I canceled the expedition for her mom but then had no way to cancel it for her. Placing objects you're crafting is a nightmare, because I have to find an area outside re hit box in order to move the screen to the correct area. And crafting is also odd because I have no in-game way to know where the components can be found. It is extremely hard to manage the colony's inventory. These UI issues need to be fixed. And the clashing systems. The underlying gameplay is pretty good, but the design on the surface has too many problems.
