Description

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.

Man, I really wanted to give this game a good review. And three+ years ago, I really enjoyed it! The game was a great mash-up of a Fallout-style world with a heavy focus on base-building and Sims-like team management.

Don't buy this game. It constantly crashes and is filled with bugs that will never be fixed since the devs abandoned it.

Full of bugs. The issue I'm having, Rats and plague, has been a issue since 2022 according to some discussions i found online trying to resolve it.

There is a game breaking bug fairly early on. Namely, one cannot upgrade the air filters and the water collection and filter. After the base has not much more than 4 people, they will die from suffocation and of thirst.
