    Fallout Shelter on Switch is the same great game it's always been, but it's unclear why you'd jump from mobile to this version.

    To a fault, Fallout Shelter is the same game that you can play on any other platforms. The gameplay loop is simple yet engaging, though the lack of variety in the mid and end game remains disappointing. For newcomers, Fallout Shelter is an okay game that can casually occupy your time. But if you’re a veteran, I can’t see any reason why you should play this version.

    Fallout Shelter is handsomely presented with a nice resource management loop that’s worthy of investigation, but it’s tough to recommend this version if you've got access to other platforms.

    Fallout Shelter isn't the introduction to the series Nintendo fans deserve. It's a rather mediocre freemium game, and Bethesda would likely have been better served getting a main series game out on Switch first.

    I can't think of a single cons in this game. A very simple but interesting simulator.

The game itself is perfect forStrange to say this, but this is my most played game on Switch clocking in at 130 hours. Next is Zelda... The game itself is perfect for those quiet moments where I need a break from the world and I can resource manage to my hearts content. Touch controls are perfect for late night sessions without interrupting the missus. Recommended - it's free after all.… Expand

    I can't believe this game is free! The microtransactions are done well, I don't need to pay to play or advance in the game. The only problem II can't believe this game is free!
