Fallout Shelter launches on Android

“I’ve tried closing the app/powering off the ipad but it hasnt helped”. Fighting in Fallout 4 will also be updated in first or third person combat as there is a Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System (V.A.T.S.) for choosing attacks and inflicting serious damage. After the mini-games, the demo also showed the use of different types of weaponry available in Wasteland, such as the laser rifle and the laser musket. To boost the Vault’s population, players can pair off male and female dwellers so they can reproduce. Your job is to control the people inside the vault and make sure that they stay happy and remain productive.

The game has received additional tweaks, including adjustments to “some of the more difficult” daily objective requirements to make them more easily obtainable.

Even if you can’t hit the millions high score “Fallout Shelter” is still worthy of your download. Buying “lunchboxes” (which provide cards with extra resources) is completely optional and can be earned through normal Fallout Shelter play.

If you’re wondering why all your Android device-toting buddies are no longer answering your messages, there’s a reasonable explanation. (If you haven’t armed your Vault Dwellers yet, now’s the time!). Each Mr. Handy is a “premium reward”, with an in-app purchase price of $1, according to Touch Arcade, or $4 for five.

A universal app designed for the iPhone/iPod touch and iPad/iPad mini, Fallout Shelter can be downloaded now on the App Store for free.

Where Fallout Shelter begins to fall apart is in its depth – or lack thereof.

Bethesda has not yet released any press statement on this issue.

Today’s release includes updates that both Android and iOS users can experience, including Deathclaw invasions and Molerat infestations that will threaten players’ shelters. Mole rats and Deathclaws can now sneak into Vaults, and Bethesda says that they’re more likely to arrive if buildings are being constructed. A personal assistant called Mr. Handy has also been added to the game (Fallout fans will remember this character from Fallout 3).
