You have to assign jobs, individual tasks, and match-make couples in order to save yourselves and hopefully the human race. Having experienced a hugely positive reception since its launch, Bethesda's Fallout Shelter has received update 1.6 – its biggest update yet.įor those who don't know, Fallout Shelter is a managing simulator in which you, the Overseer, have to build and supervise a thriving Vault for Dwellers to cohabit in.
