Occasionally a game explodes on to the scene and you feel that its appeal may not last. So, you wait. You wait to see if, a little while after launch, it will still feel as fresh and as fun as it did day one<\/strong>. Well, the dust has settled, and nearly a month after it launched on iOS we are happy to say that we still regularly find ourselves hiding in Fallout Shelter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These can easily damage your civilization at first, but – after sending your own raiding parties out into the irradiated wasteland a few times to scavenge for supplies – you will soon weapons and items to strengthen you<\/strong> against these attacks.<\/p>\n

Fallout Shelter is a wonderful lightweight society management sim<\/strong>, with a great look and lots of hooks to keep you coming back for more.<\/p>\n
