It used to be better in terms of experience, still a good game nonetheless, except I can't enter the game. it's sad to see that my vaults are there but become inaccessible so suddenly when the other day was doing its job just fine before. I did reach out and got a reply, which I'm grateful about, but even that didn't help unfortunately. So rip my main Vault that was created in September 2019, I'll miss ya, it's been fun while it lasted.

honestly a pretty good game. However, I do have trouble with my dwellers happiness. Once you have low resource on any of food, water, or power, it can be incredibly difficult to get back up in that stuff. Also, regarding the events and experimental vaults, I wouldn't bother with them. Anyway, pretty good game, definitely deemed worthy of 4 stars.

it's a great strategy and survival game, but the only problems are that once you get further in the game it is harder and not as fun. once you keep getting radscorpion attacks and alien attacks, you lose resources and it gets annoying because it is so constant. it is more fun in the early development of your vault than it is when you have 50+ dwellers, and it just becomes frustrating to play. if you like a challenge than it is good, its still fun to play when youre not getting constant attacks.
