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.

Just like everyone else has said, Sheltered 1 is amazing, absolute master piece, this one how ever for me has lost its original touch, they made it overly complicated, honestly i would of brought the game even if its the exact copy of sheltered 1 but with a new map, CoD is the same game over and over just different maps right, however dev team shut down, 2 owners are bringing whatever bug fix they MIGHT bring, ive never seen any updates for this myself so in my opinion, abandoned game. its an early access game with a full release sticker. It is sad to see the state of the dev team, I wish they kept to the original sheltered game, honestly they would of been winning just releasing DLC for the original game. 1 Key problem for me is they have never updated the original on iOS to play in full res. Such a shame. Feel free to add any comments. I still recommend buying the first game, this one is buy at your own risk.

My extremely honest opinion of this game:
I feel like people rated it so badly because they expected it to be like the first game, which in some ways it is but mostly its not. This game is interesting and fun and has a lot of neat aspects, such as the moods and ailments, Sheltered is a great game and I think a lot of the charm is from the pixel-y game look which this one doesn't have. I still think this game is worth the money(I got it on sale for $4.99) I have enjoyed playing thus far and will continue playing because in its own way this game is fun.
Similarities to Sheltered-
The idea of living after nuclear fallout
The idea of building and preparing your vault
Making your vault people
Differences-
You can customize your character's clothes and accessories differently than the first game
You can train your pets to have skills
the graphics
being able to switch from side view to top down above ground
being able to use the land above your shelter for growing crops or having animals
being able to complete jobs for other factions and gaining trust with them or losing trust
Items, tools, food, and pieces for building all have ratings of how good they are (1 star to 3 star)
All in all I think this game got more hate than it deserves. I hope my comment will help someone try it out and see its a decent game.

As someone that put hours into the original, I don't quite get the mixed reviews to an extent.
They have made this so much better, not just graphically but with the whole concept of travel and it's a beautiful game.
It's frustrating that it takes so many run through's however before realising all of the different beautiful elements and choices that make up this game...it took me forever to realise how to recycle... it's also annoying when you grow to love a bunch of characters you're helping to survive, only to get slaughtered when looking for stuff by a faction only two weeks, one against three. sigh. But that's the apocalypse right?
I love this game. Sure it's got it's faults. But after a long day in work, it's a great game to just chill and let the hours pass.

This game is a ton of fun with a lot of playtime. I have 149 hours into my first game and I can see there's a lot left. I'm already thinking of my second game and how I can play differently. Don't worry about all the people saying there are tons of bugs. I think they were all patched last update as I've not seen any. The power issues have been resolved from what I can see. Yes, the devs had to get jobs, but that is life. I think if you want to enjoy a lite version of Rimworld, you will enjoy it.

I saw so much potential for this game, it could've been good, REALLY good, but instead we got this unfinished early access feeling game, i still like it, but i wish development didn't stop.

This game is overall enjoyable. It's not a perfect game, but that's not really it's fault. I'm pretty sure it didn't sell too well, and that meant the makers couldn't really follow through on expanding on it. I still got many enjoyable hours of play out of it, and traumatized many of my little people by forcing them to commit atrocities like cannibalism.
