Ranking The Fallout Series From Worst To Best

6. Fallout Shelter

Fallout Video Games
Bethesda

The Wasteland is a truly versatile setting. Where else could host a series of free-roaming RPGs and a base-building simulation for mobile devices?

Fallout Shelter was a surprise announcement at E3 2014, stealthily sneaking onto mobile the following year to make the wait for Fallout 4 less soul-destroying.

Is it really a better game than either of the Tactics titles? In many ways, not exactly, but it's a fantastic addition to the series for what it is.

This free-to-play Vault sim casts players as the Overseer and has them build up a nuclear bunker from scratch, tending to the day-to-day needs of its dwellers.

It successfully captures the look, feel and humour (how hilarious is it when your dwellers are attacked by Radroaches?) of the series and is spoiled only by the microtransactions bugbear and the lack of an ending.

Plus, it gets bonus points as the only entry in the series that you can play on the bog.
