Apesar de práticas predatórias e abusivas para o sistema de monetização, fallout shelter se demonstra um ótimo jogo para se passar o tempo. Suas mecânicas são simples e rasas e o jogo é repetitivo e monótono, no entanto tais pontos não são problemas, ele faz tudo isso muito bem.

Seu looping de gameplay é e sempre vai ser crescer sua Vault (O Bunker no qual você administra), enfrentar problema com falta de trabalhadores, conseguir mais trabalhadores que aumentam a necessidade de suplementos, aumentar sua Vault para conseguir mais suplementos e assim se formar um ciclo, até no late game alcançar uma Vault totalmente autossustentável. Esse looping de gameplay é quebrado por um sistema simplório de exploração, mas apesar de legalzinho nos textos, seu sistema de combate é bem fraco e se torna bem tediante.

Enfim, ótimo jogo para se passar o tempo, ainda mais sendo free to play.


P.s: Caso você deseje platinar o game, vai enfrentar muita dificuldade com conquistas que dependem de sorte nos drops de lootboxes, nas quais são bem escassas no game a não ser que você gaste dinheiro real com o game (com valores ABSURDOS).

REVIEW:

"Fallout Shelter" is a game that I've played on and off for years, both on my smartphone and on PC. As someone who experienced the game completely Free2Play, I'd like to share my thoughts.

First and foremost, I have to mention that the gameplay of "Fallout Shelter" is naturally limited by the nature of the game. You build rooms, assign dwellers, manage resources, and try to protect your Vault from dangers. It's all quite simple and predictable, but still enjoyable for a few hours here and there. What I do particularly enjoy about "Fallout Shelter" is the ability to customize and optimize my own Vault. It's fun to build new rooms, equip them with various items, and place dwellers strategically for efficient work. There's also a certain satisfaction in managing resources well and successfully expanding your Vault. Another plus is the "Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System" (V.A.T.S.) during exploration missions. Here, you can send your dwellers on expeditions where they encounter events and collect loot. The V.A.T.S. system - just like in the "real" "Fallout" games - allows for targeted aiming at specific body parts during combat, providing a nice tactical element.

Regarding the Free2Play aspects, personally, I find that "Fallout Shelter" is reasonably fair. You can play the game completely for free without hitting any big paywalls that push you to purchase in-game currency. Sure, there are microtransactions for Lunchboxes and Nuka-Cola Quantum, and you can save a ridiculous amount of time by paying for certain services, but I've never felt super compelled to buy them to enjoy the game. Graphically, the game is pretty charmingly designed in the typical "Fallout" style, with its retro-futurism and iconic Vault designs. The soundtrack also adds to the atmosphere, although it can become somewhat repetitive after a while.

Overall, "Fallout Shelter" is a nice pastime for me. It might not be the deepest or most complex game, but for a few relaxed hours managing a Vault and watching it grow and thrive, it's quite enjoyable. Anyone looking for a free game that doesn't require too much time or commitment might find some joy in it.
