    Pretty boring game without any real challenges. Everything regenerates if you take everything out of one building you can just go back to that one over an over every few days and get new fully regenerated supplies. The combat leaves a lot to be desired and it pretty much in your favor the entire game if you know what you are doing.

They are trying to make a difficulty mod for it but it won't change things as the same tactics can still be applied all the difficulty mod will do is delay time but won't change the outcome if you know the secrets and exploits. It's fun the first time you play it because you don't know what to expect, but, once you learn then you know how easy it is from level to level. The dog shiits all over the place too.… Expand

    Glad I didn't pay very much for this game. I would have felt cheated. Even $5 is too much for it really but there is some fun in the early game. No so much afterwards.

    When I was young, I've babysit smarter toddlers. From the tutorial, you learn that you have to select every character individually and manually make them drink at the fountain standing 1 metre away. Not teach them, tell them every single time, as they don't learn anything. Ugh !

    Since I'm not much into holding vegetable hands, I took one and made her craft a snare to place outside. She did, opened the doors and passed the stranger who was frantically ringing the intercom. He didn't notice her either. She then stepped outside and got irradiated. Do I need to make her wear the hazmat suit before crafting ? I'm out of here.

    Thing is, if one proposes a nanomanagement game such as Sheltered, one needs to offer a great interface. Here we've got one of the worst I've ever seen. With no help from the rotten graphics, I've got no idea who I have currently selected, what they can do, what the desperation icons above their heads mean… There is text to read, but no pause to read while the retards die in real time. And without free save, the most basic requirement of any non-arcade game, things cannot be tried and fun cannot be had.

    All the ingredients that one finds at the bottom of the barrel of game design.    … Expand

    Besides looking terrible, I just don't enjoy the game at all. Seems really boring. Just can't get into it and doesn't feel worth playing at all. The game is described as deep and emotional. Which it does not seem. The only emotion I am feeling when playing is boredom. Not an enjoyable game or interesting in anyway.

    This game is an apocalypse shelter survival style in which you scavenge, craft and recruit other survivors, and holy god this game is such crap.

    Here are the things that piss me off the most. Repairing-everything in your base has durability and they break fast;by the time you fully repair one thing several others are in need of more repair and you repair rate is slow.

    scavenging-its a crap shoot what you may find, don't expect to search a farm and find food.scavenging takes water, and to get water you are at the mercy of if it decides to rain so its quite possible to hit a dry spell and be without the means to scavenge which ends you game fast as you cant get food otherwise.

    Tasks-all tasks take to long, having a shower could take a night,fixing things could take 2 days, you could rest your character before repairing the water filter only to have to rest your character agin afterwards to find the water filter is falling into disrepair again, its retarded.

    Food-good luck trying to find food, first 10 days in game and 8 locations searched including a farm yielded 4 cans of food which got used up immediately.

    Some of the other annoyances include, bad UI,lack of too tips, no elective save mode(auto save at the start of each day only),pitiful character carry capacity, the reliance on random rain fall for water.    … Expand

    They need 3 hours to take a dump. Everything breaks after using it like 20 times. Like how cheap is that sleeping bag! To dumb to drink alone, you need to manually command them to drink. And they are tired after 5 hours and need to sleep 6 hours. Honestly, I always believed there's no 0 or 10 rating games. Till I found this one.

    Sheltered is a PC version of Bethesda's Fallout Shelter, which demonstrated, that maintaining your own bunker can be almost as fun as exploring the wasteland. Family-oriented game design fails to deliver solid content for lengthy gaming sessions, but in little bits and pieces surviving the apocalypse with the good ol' missus and kids is quite addicting.

    If you're a) an apocalyptic junkie enjoying the real fallout shelter plans, b) someone excited by problems, such as getting rid of a corpse; Sheltered with its never-ending nonsense will enrage you rather than entertain. [Issue#263]

    Sheltered offers a solid experience that all fans of the genre will surely love. Unfortunately a certain repetitiveness in the difficulties to deal with, mortify the ambitions of a game that is still fun and challenging.
