* MalignedMixedMarriage: Averted. Black white and brown Vault Dwellers have no problems having children with each other, which is mildly surprising when you remember that Fallout society is like 1950s USA, only more so. The developers probably decided that dealing with MMM wouldn't fit in a Lighter and Softer iOS game

* ArtificialStupidity: Dwellers will react to threats (e.g. fire, Raiders, rad roaches) in their rooms, but do nothing about threats in other rooms. This is particularly annoying in cases where an armed response would be appropriate: you have to rummage through all of your dwellers looking for the ones with guns while mayhem is happening elsewhere and they carry on with their normal tasks as if nothing is happening.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: ''Fallout'' lore dictates that the vaults can carry 1000 (and on occasion, 2000) people, but your vault can only carry 200, due to the software limitations the iPhone has with rendering so many people.

The game is currently only available for the iOS, but it has been announced on Bethesda Softworks twitter page that Fallout Shelter will be released on android devices in the upcoming months.
In the game, you are put in the role of the Overseer of a Vault of your choosing (the number is selected by you), and the goal is to successfully lead generations of Vault Dwellers to survive and thrive in post-nuclear America. Your duties will include acquisition and distribution of resources, development of the Vault complex, multiplying the population, prevention of crises (such as fires and raider attacks), and other similar activities.
The game is focused on balancing the needs of your Dwellers while providing them with the best quality of life (and defending it from threats). There is no end goal in the game, save building the biggest, best Vault you can. Managing resources and dwellers is essential - as is keeping them happy.
Tropes Related to Fallout Shelter:
