Sheltered is a post-apocalyptic disaster management game that gives a whole new meaning to the term “nuclear family”. Given a head-start over the billions lost in a nuclear holocaust, you must gather as many supplies as possible en route to the concrete underground shelter that will soon become your family home for the foreseeable dire future. As the overwhelming despair of this new world surrounds you, how will you survive? Your approach to the countless moral choices you’ll be faced with on a daily basis, could be the difference between the lives of your family or their unfortunate end. Resources are scarce though, with barely enough to cling desperately to life for another day you’re already faced with a monumental choice. Who will you send to venture out into the vast unforgiving wasteland? Whilst exploration is a traumatic experience, the weapons you can craft from resources could tip the scales of life or death in your favour. Assaults from feral beasts and roaming factions are endlessly closing in, imminent and deadly risks surround you. ‘Violence is never the answer’… Maybe you once believed that, but combat may now be your only option for survival. As you and your family grow and progress, so do their skills, attributes and weaknesses. Ensure that they’re well equipped as you strategize, securing victory against those who threaten the survival of your family in tense turn based combat.

I’ve had the game for years and it’s worth every penny. Only criticism I have is a bug that makes work stations stop working mainly the toilets and mops. Please fix

I just got it today. I have no idea what to do. I have the tutorial on and all it does is say like “someone hungry.” Ok, HOW DO I FEED THEM!! Tutorial should explain it better. I am frustrated that my family is going to die before I get anywhere…
- K.C. J. Winters · v1.0
I played about 12 hours and died after the last of 4 family members died. Which I didn’t know was a thing. After dying there is absolutely no benefit. You start over being forced to do the same boring things. Some benefits or perks should be earned. You lose everything. It is a permadeath game with no replay value.

Game always, I mean always lag at the start of the day if you fast forward it. Every day without a doubt it lags cannot stop . Sometimes I miss the traders or broadcast.

How do you sell a product and than abandon it? I get this isn’t the PC port but you can’t even update to fix the aspect ratio? Lazy developers. Don’t buy anything from them.
- Elthesensai · v1.0
This is a game that has been out for a while, and because of that, it comes with no ads, micro-transactions, or anything that makes the game easier. It makes the game purely skill-based, which is something I strive to look for. These older games were made before the “wave of the ads” came in, and that’s why I strongly suggest this game rather than other more modern games of similar style.

Great game and love the mechanics just wish my fingers didn’t have to clog the screen.
- That one guy you know that? · v1.0
I love this game, but It needs updates!! I recently started playing on PC, and I like that version because it gives you a trash bin outside incase you can’t fit everything in your shelter. Why doesn’t mobile have anything like that, or at lest give us the option to make a bin. We need more things to do and make! How about being able to raid other shelters and not just be raided. The kids should be able to grow up and have kids of there own so we’re not just taking in random people. Mobile gamers need updates to not just PC!
- Pattsbad · v1.0
Hello, I’ve been playing this game for weeks, awesome time killer and I enjoy doing different runs with characters, my only wish is that there would be at least one last update to add an auto fix mechanic to have a shelter member run repairs in between caring for their food and water etc. needs, other than that this game is phenomenal. Big thanks to the devs for this one.
- Fjdjejxjdnrjfjdnnd · v1.0
The tutorial doesn’t really do a good job of telling you how to play. Hopefully the devs will improve this game soon.
- SpydrMunky · v1.0
Great foundation for a game. Seems impossibly difficult in harder modes but you can eventually turn a corner where the game gets easy on any difficulty level. While I could still see myself enjoy8mg the game, without updates, there is nothing new to discover.
- Im_bored · v1.0
No matter how many apps I try, I always come back to Sheltered. The pessimism of pushing to survive in a hopeless world is my JAM man. That said! Devs! I’d love for there to be a way to amp up difficulty once the game begins. Like, maybe with every new shelter you start, one of the adjustable settings shifts. I think it would add a lot more fun to the late game! Please take this into consideration, I love this app to bits.
- Ell-Ess · v1.0
It could be more fair it’s like everyone dies in your family why couldn’t u make we’re the kids grow up and have baby’s I mean it make sense
- crazyoutlaw02 · v1.0
This game has been out for awhile, time to update it and add some new features. I can only speedrun a full Freezer of meat so many times
- Vegtilld34th · v1.0
Thoroughly enjoyed playing through this gem of a game. I’ve bought it for PlayStation as well as smartphone. Even purchased it for pc. What I noticed on pc is that the pc variant actually receives updates whereas PS4 and smartphone do not seem to have the added content and scenarios. Why? Please keep adding content.
- intelligible7 · v1.0
The game is super fun and engaging, also could be somewhat challenging at first, requires you to learn it on your own, as the in-game tutorial is short and covers very little. So play carefully, attentively and plan your actions in advance, as there are some randomness in events. But, when you learn its specifics, it becomes very entertaining and with quite a few fun turns. Minor issue: in general storage view, its UI scroll element is missing and not working (iPone7plus).
- Aleni Innet · v1.0
I love the game but maybe add more to do after you upgrade everything and make it take the full screen on the 11pro max and below because it uses 3/4 of my screen so it’s hard to play
- Cbrinkman22 · v1.0
I was playing this about a month ago and everything was working well. The save gear icon was in the upper left corner on my iPhone X. I picked the game up again today, moved to the second map, and now there is a display for character’s status in the upper left, covering the gear icon. I cannot save any progress! Please fix! Thanks [update-shortly after my review complaining of a save problem, the game has been fixed! Dunno if it was in response to my specific review, but great responsiveness to addressing issues either way!]
- tad2much · v1.0
I love the game, but there is not enough in it. Once you reach a certain level it gets boring. Wish you could have more floors, with elevators and with air ducts. Also, you should be able to get a pet even if you don’t have one or yours dies. And they should add more special items.
- Dufcngx2(&5?&5; · v1.0
It’s enjoyable for a little while, but it gets repetitive fairly quick. There’s just not enough content. You’ll get repeated dialogues constantly, such as the little journal that updates periodically. It just keeps updating with the same couple canned entries over and over! Eventually it becomes very slow paced and you’re just stuck grinding for some pointless upgrades. Very little challenge on normal mode, almost nothing poses any threat once you get your food and water sorted. It’s ok but I’m glad I didn’t pay full price
- Lazy wolf smh · v1.0
I didn’t have a problem with this before but now all of a sudden my game keeps crashing, please fix
- sum dud · v1.0
The game is good but they should add a sandbox mode which means that you won’t need items to craft,upgrade or need food,water and gas
- Rhxgevzheucsbx · v1.0
It’s a good game but sometimes some of the objects like the shower bugs out and the game thinks that it’s being used when it’s not, other than that great game!
- Simpsonsuck · v1.0
The display is small on my IPhone X Your better off just playing on pc so you can see
- Bubba zanetti117 · v1.0
Too much happening with this game and almost zero explanation of how to do anything. It’s entirely too Much detail for a phone and just accessing items is a drag. It has potential but I would have much rather seen a more last last of us user interface. Just a swing and a miss
- Buddy stalker · v1.0
I started playing this game at 9:47 pm on a Friday and once I looked up from my tablet, the sun was pouring through my windows.
- THIS IS A BAD GAME!!!!!!!!!! · v1.0
I enjoy the game but saving seems random? I can’t find a button, and the auto save (however that happens) seems random and long. It’s frustrating to leave the game and come back to find that you lost the last three expeditions you did. When does this save? How does it save? And can you make it better? Cause I lost a couple hours of game play and that makes you not want to play.
- Tobyana4 · v1.0
This is a GREAT game that can be even greater!!
- kreap_ · v1.0
“Tap on an item to select it.” Doesn’t work. Can’t move people. Needs a more basic tutorial or it’s broken. Wasted $$.
- spudlingly · v1.0
If you acknowledged Fallout Shelter was an absurd cash grab with micro-transactions and artificially bloated wait times, Sheltered is the game you actually wanted. Its super fun, with a high learning curve. Things that could make the game better: -Have a mechanism for quickly setting the number for how many items you want to move from one menu box to another. When it gets to high-volume trades, moving 50 items one-by-one gets irritating. -Add an automatic maintenance bot. Once you have all the tools and 5+ shelter inhabitants, the fear of something breaking down are more of an inconvenience than an actual threat to the shelter. At that stage, it makes sense to offload the responsibility to a bot, so the player can concentrate on missions. -Add a higher-stakes plot that the player can engage in once they’re locked and loaded with the best stuff. The current “Yay! You can start over!” is kind of lame. -Force the player to take the offensive once the defensive measures are adequate for steamrolling would-be raiders. -I got the impression from some of the character designs that people and creatures were mutating over time... which would be totally awesome if that was actually the case.
- Hanzhe · v1.0
I watched a friend play this game and looked amazing, but when I went to play it it was basically impossible to figure out what to do. The “walkthrough” on this game is awful. You will need to spend hours going and watching videos and guides to understand how to play. Waste of money and time.
- Assfhjklllhgffdsdg · v1.0
Please add season circle in to the game and more stuff
- tuanviet1535 · v1.0
The game is cool. It’s somewhat more realistic than your average post-apocalyptic survival game. You don’t just pay $2 and get a shipment of gear, and your inhabitants don’t exactly take care of themselves. Even on easy mode, the game is ridiculously challenging, you have to send people out all the time, otherwise, your shelter is going to be a mess of bodies lying in their own filth and waiting for sweet departure. The game is honestly hard up to a fault. I (personally)can’t have fun unless I look online for guides. I wouldn’t recommend this to a casual gamer, or someone looking to have something like animal crossing that is just an escapist task you do every day. If you aren’t up for the challenge, be warned!
- JamesOfApple · v1.0
Please make it possible for feeding the pet an automatic action. Also please add “are you sure you want to _?” buttons, those are actually really convenient. I’ve been struggling for food and someone who could have had food came to my shelter to trade. I hit “no” by accident and couldn’t go back. I also hit “no” when I was asked to take a look at some items at a house.

I have effortlessly put over 40 hours into this game, with less friction than many big RPG titles. The gameplay is addictive and has such a huge variety of things to do, it just clicks perfectly with me. It’s very buggy, but no major catastrophes happened. There were more than a few hilarious surprises in store for me. Let’s just say, be sure your new recruits get out of the vault every once in a while! You don’t want them to get too stir crazy. I will say that once you get pretty stabilized and into a rhythm the game starts to get a bit tedious, because truly there is no ultimate goal other than to survive as long as you can. Once you get past day 200 or 250 you’ll probably get bored, but it takes quite a while to get to that point and I think the cost of this game is more than worth the many hours of entertainment it provides. The only caution I would give is that it can be pretty difficult at the beginning to get your shelter established. Be sure to focus on collecting water as much as you can in the beginning, and realize that you need to be pretty much constantly sending people out to gather supplies at the start. There are many excellent guides online to help you out if need be. Have fun!

Tutorial is pointless. Touch controls are iffy...at best. Graphics (even for 8 bit) are too blurry. It doesn’t feel like a finished game at all, and I’ve tried several times to get into it. At least I bought it for $2 and won’t be upset. Just disappointed.
- Jesse1437 · v1.0
I tried sending this into support but the website kept giving me an error so I couldn’t. The game is great, however now I am a bit stuck because I can’t expand my shelter to the third lower level. The gameplay won’t allow me to place the ladder on the third lower level. I have tried in multiple positions with no success. Any advice?
- PrincessMonk · v1.0
I enjoy the desktop version but very little has been done to optimize the UI for tablets. The controls are cramped and hard to use, data is in awkward places, and it’s obvious this was a low-effort port. Very disappointed.
- JJeffryes · v1.0
Huge bug. When ever I return to shelter with supplies, food disappears from my scavage, any help how to fix this MAJOR issue? Otherwise fantastic!
- MgdmGdmgD · v1.0
what a gem. quality game
- dankmeter · v1.0
It’s fun but some more customizable settings would help because some of my stats are off screen
