At Bethesda’s E3 press conference, the big draw wasFallout 4, but nestled in the middle of theFalloutpresentation wasFallout Shelter, a free-to-play mobile game about managing a Vault.
Bethesda’s Todd Howard describesFallout Shelteras the type of game the team would want to play, and thus it doesn’t have a lot of the insidious stuff that is often found in free-to-play titles. There are no paywalls or waiting; the only in-app purchases described were lunchboxes for random loot drops, which can also be obtained through playing.
Otherwise, gameplay involves setting different rooms in the shelter, managing how the cartoony inhabitants spend their time, and exercising authoritarian rule by naming their babies for them.Fallout Shelteris planned for release on iOS today. The possibility of an Android version is unknown at the moment.
