More about Fallout
Fallout is set in the aftermath of a world-wide nuclear war where players assume the role of a Vault-dweller, a person raised in a secluded underground survival facility. The game challenges players to survive in a post-apocalyptic world 80 years after modern civilization ended, marked by mutants, radiation, gangs, and violence. Core gameplay involves finding a replacement for a broken water purification controller chip to prevent dehydration or forced exit from the Vault. A skill-based system allows character progression through combat and non-combat events, with tactical turn-based combat where players can take time to make decisions.
