I may have mentioned being busy over the last few months, working on a new game writing gig which has been important to me. While I was sworn to NDA secrecy for a long time, the game has now been released and I’m free to share the good news!
Did I miss a week? DID I? Got a review for you, but this one without a gist comic, because it’s a mobile game and it felt better to just show you the damn screens instead of trying to be clever.
Because it’s not my forte.
I’m a little behind the times here, but I wanted to post a quick review of a mobile game I’ve been playing lately.
Until I downloaded Sorcery! (whole other story, fantastic game) I was pretty engrossed in Fallout Shelter; the promotional tie-in to Fallout 4.
The gist is that you take on the role of Overseer and look after a vault of post-nuclear survivors. The art style of the game perfectly captures the tongue-in-cheek vibe of Fallout, based on the art seen in the menus of the first (and subsequent) games. The sound supports it nicely with little daytime TV style riffs.
Edit: the game has just been updated, so I’ll tell you about those updates at the end.
