Sheltered 2
It’s been twenty years since the world as we knew it ended. The last of humanity splintered into opposing factions. Will you unite or conquer?
Building upon the original 2015 fan-favourite, Sheltered 2 brings new challenges and deeper strategic gameplay. You are tasked with creating a leader and building up your faction whilst managing resources and tackling threats both natural and human. Everything from starvation and dehydration to radiation poisoning and enemy raids can prove fatal.
Sheltered 2’s new Factions system is pivotal to a base’s success. Send out expeditions to explore the vast wasteland and forge relationships, or bitter rivalries with other camps. Trade resources to grow and thrive together; or go head-to-head with rivals in an expanded combat system and grow your foothold in the wasteland. Will you ally with or dominate the other factions?
Features:
Factions: New to Sheltered 2, the Factions system allows you to create relationships with other groups that will provide your base with resources and support. Or grab your weapons and take things the old-fashioned way.
Resource Management: Balance the needs and wants of your survivors, manage scarce resources, craft what you need and maintain the shelter’s equipment to keep the group alive.
Faction Leaders: New in Sheltered 2, the faction leader is the most important member of a shelter, boasting their own unique and powerful traits, the faction leader will be pivotal to success, with their death meaning game over.
An Unforgiving Wasteland: Starvation, asphyxiation, extreme temperatures and combat are just some of the challenges you’ll face in the harsh wasteland of Sheltered 2, and without the ability to respawn, every decision could be fatal.
Combat & Weapons: When negotiations fail, wield a huge variety of makeshift weaponry against hostile outsiders. Fight to the death in turn-based combat to win the critical resources you need to survive.
Characters: Your survivors have their own personalities, traits, desires and a huge list of skills to acquire. Customise them to your liking and make your faction members unique and individual.
Vehicles: Find and fix more vehicles to explore the wasteland with, from Bicycles to Pick-up trucks.

I don't understand the negative reviews. I'm playing blind on the hardest difficulty, and after 4–5 restarts, I've finally reached a point where I can breathe without having to constantly chase food and water. Tooked 45 ingame days. Now I can focus on whatever I want (hopefully), so I'm ready for the long haul. The difficulty is definitely there, but I'm really enjoying it.
I haven't run into any game-breaking bugs—just minor QoL hiccups that are immediately fixed by reloading the save, maybe 1 minibug per 2 realtime hours. And after i know why it happens, i can avoid it. I do miss the old pixel art style a bit, but hey, I like this game a lot and absolutely recommend it.
I seriously don't get the negativity... Usually, the community is spot-on, but here? I don't know. Am I missing something? ^^
35 hours of playtime so far, and it's all good.

Played the first Sheltered game to death on Xbox. Liked it so much that I bought it and the 2nd one on Steam when I switched to Steamdeck. I really enjoy this game. I have sank over 70 hours into it so far and I still come back to it from time to time. The resource needs balance well with the fighting/surviving aspects of it most of the time so it's a pretty consistent, but not dull game. I really enjoy it.

Picked this game up on a massive sale and so far I am enjoying it a lot. Tons of mechanics and features. Not run into too many problems yet. Overall a good take on a post nuclear fallout shelter survival game. If you enjoy This War of Mine or Fallout Shelter you won't be disappointed.

I did not play the Sheltered 1 or whatever they are called. But, according to the avid players of this game, Sheltered 1 is more "complete" that its predecessor game. This game has it good and bad aspects. First the good ones, I like its graphics and its animation. However, as I proceed to the game further, I noticed so many bugs and discrepancies while playing the game. First, freezing of animation, reputation mechanics is a bit clunky, the quality system is lacking, the story is very slowed paced, the workable areas of allied faction cannot be used, and broadcasting for traders always fails. Overall, the game requires adjustments in its micro- and macro-managements. I hope the team come back and fixes these bugs.

i like how it looks. but after 1st hour i tired of crafting menue. it should be all in one window, disassemble and craft. now you have to remember all sik combinations. cant continue playing just because of this. hope they will do some patch.

It's such a shame that there's no more dev on this game, I can't find anything of its ilk nearly as good so I keep coming back to it. It's very difficult for a long time but easier once you eventually get all your utilities balanced and prioritise a constant source of *fuel*. Top tips - keep an eye on the weather bar at the top of the screen for temperature extremes, and manual SAVE OFTEN eg. if one of your team develop pyromania (they do get sick a LOT) go back to last save point lol, its incurable so ends badly haha
