The game sees you running a post-apocalyptic shelter underground, like a radiation-dodging The Sims.Īlso known as Android’s Animal Crossing, albeit with more pirates. But until its release, mobile game Fallout Shelter was their fill-in fix – but also a top-notch game in its own right.
Fallout Shelterīy the end of 2015, Fallout fans were playing Fallout 4 on their consoles.

PewDiePie: Legend of the BrofistĪ game based on one of the world’s most popular YouTubers might seem like a recipe for a cash-in, but this was anything but.
