Bethesda kicked off this year’s E3 gaming expo with a press conference in the early hours of Monday morning, unveiling a half-dozen new games for PC and consoles including Doom, Dishonored 2 and the widely anticipated Fallout 4. They also had a bit of a surprise for us – their first mobile title. It’s called Fallout Shelter, it’s available today<\/a> on iOS, and it’s brilliant.<\/p>\n

Fallout Shelter has you take on the role of Overseer, building your own giant, underground vault. These radiation-proof shelters are a mainstay of the series, and it’s up to you to create the best one you can in a hostile post-apocalyptic world. You’ll be tasked with expanding your vault with new rooms, managing your 2D animated residents and\u00a0\u00a0explore the wasteland for useful scrap. There are dangers to be sure – your water chip might malfunction, or raiders might attack – but the tone is fun and friendly instead of the rather more grim and realistic tone of the main games.<\/p>\n

\"Fallout-Shelter\"<\/p>\n

The game is also something of an oddity, as it is free to download yet avoids the most annoying elements of free-to-play games. Bethesda Game Director Todd Howard promised that the game wouldn’t include paywall timers or an internet connection play, and that’s borne out. There are in-app purchases for additional items, but the game remains fun without paying a cent. Instead, the game feels like a fun way for Bethesda to experiment in a new space, and advertise their upcoming game as well.<\/p>\n

Fallout Shelter is available now on the App Store<\/a>, and works on iPhone and iPad. An Android version is also being developed, and will be released later this year.<\/p>\n
