Panting, scared, the shelter airlock smashes down behind you. You wish you did not have to go outside, but you do. It would be easier to give up. But you don’t. The hardship, the hunger, the thirst. The fear. You keep reminding yourself why you stay alive. Why you do this. Then you hear it. “Daddy, you’re back.” You wife’s … Read more
Panting, scared, the shelter airlock smashes down behind you. You wish you did not have to go outside, but you do. It would be easier to give up. But you don’t. The hardship, the hunger, the thirst. The fear. You keep reminding yourself why you stay alive. Why you do this. Then you hear it. “Daddy, you’re back.” You wife’s face lights up and you open a bag full of medical supplies. You need not tell her how you got them. You simply enjoy your small victory in this, the harshest of times. In the post-apocalyptic world, you must keep your family alive in your underground bunker in this deep strategy game from Unicube… 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 dreary future. With all hope lost, how will you cope in this bleak new world? How you handle the many moral choices you’ll encounter on a daily basis could be the difference between your family surviving or dying. Combat claustrophobia, radiation and mental exhaustion as you cling desperately to life in the cramp, cold and scary underground shelter. You’ll have to leave the scant protection the shelter offers behind as you’re forced to venture outside into the dangerous desolate wasteland to scavenge for vital supplies which could ensure your family’s survival for just one more day.

Le falta muchísimo que ofrecer

Mira que me gusta el género pero es que el juego está carente de mecánicas interesantes y las que tiene se hacen tediosas enseguida. Tiene una base decente, pero le falta emoción y alma por todas partes.

Numbers go down: The Game

Sheltered is truly terrible even for an indie survival game. It is incredibly tedious because everything constantly breaks down. Even beds. Like, have the devs ever had an actual bed in their lives? How did it break down after a few days just by being slept on? What is going on here?

Sheltered is truly terrible even for an indie survival game. It is incredibly tedious because everything constantly breaks down. Even beds. Like, have the devs ever had an actual bed in their lives? How did it break down after a few days just by being slept on? What is going on here?

So yeah, tons of bullshit little bars to babysit. Nonsensical item damage. Incredibly boring exploration. Bad controls. Shitty character creation with stat presets (just... why?). And in general there just doesn't seem much to it. I played this for an hour and only had one encounter. I offered to trade. They said no. That was it. No option to even attack them or anything.

Sheltered makes Dead In Bermuda look like Deus Ex.

1/10

I'll stick to Fallout Shelter.

This game has an interesting concept but sadly it fades really quick. As soon as you discover how to play it the right way and manage to get the essentials items, you find yourself without any challenge. Characters don't have any personality at all. you can't really care if some of your people die because they all act the same. …

This game has an interesting concept but sadly it fades really quick. As soon as you discover how to play it the right way and manage to get the essentials items, you find yourself without any challenge. Characters don't have any personality at all. you can't really care if some of your people die because they all act the same. They don't interact with each other, and don't bring any lore when they join, so there is no immersion at all.

Tedious

I have a soft spot for resource management games, but this one was very tedious. Once you've seen the first 10 days or so, you've basically seen it all. It has no ending, which is a big negative for me.

I have a soft spot for resource management games, but this one was very tedious. Once you've seen the first 10 days or so, you've basically seen it all. It has no ending, which is a big negative for me.

While the building at first seems alright, after a point you realize each upgrade you make just makes meters fill or drain at different rates. There are really only three kinds of encounters - people who want to fight (rarely), people who want to trade their shitty wares, or people who want to join you. You're constantly bombarded with people who want to join your shelter, when it can only support so many people. The story is almost non-existent and the journal updates made throughout the game start repeating after only a few entries and never really give any story.

The whole game-play concept of it is similar This War of Mine, but worse in every way.
