Overall, great game. If you've never played it, I highly recommend. There's just on problem I had near the endgame though. The amount of attacks that happen one you reach 70-80 people is ridiculous. Everytime I join to check on the game, I'm attacked by deathclaws. It got so bad that I stopped playing entirely because I was too tired to deal with the attacks. If you could change that then easily 5 stars.

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.
