Publisher Team17 has today launched the post-apocalyptic disaster management game Sheltered on Nintendo Switch.
After a global apocalypse, you're tasked with protecting four family members living in a deserted underground shelter. You'll need to combat hunger, radiation, and mental exhaustion as you cling desperately to life in the cramped, cold, underground shelter. Of course, you'll also need to brave the dangerous wasteland outside for vital supplies, leaving the protection your new home offers to provide for your family.

The game actually launched on other platforms just a couple of years ago; the Switch version will include the base game and the 'Surrounded' and 'Stasis' additional content packs. Surrounded offers a new chunk of gameplay in which the family is forced to split up (the father goes out in search of transport, whilst the mother and son barricade themselves inside and set traps to try and protect the supplies), while Stasis has you leaving your hostile home planet behind by building and launching a rocket.
You'll find the game available from today on the Nintendo Switch eShop for £9.99 / $14.99 / €14.99. A 20% discount will be applied to purchases made during launch week.

So... Fallout Shelter without the Fallout premise, then?
i really like the style of this, might just pick it up
Looks great, but I have never been any good at survival games, so not for me.
I really enjoyed my time with the base game and whilst the switch price with the dlc is fair it "seems" alot to me because I got the game for 75p via an Xbox sale
hmmm.... seems tempting. I have enjoyed Fallout Shelter.
This is on Game Pass on Xbox if you'd like to give it a spin. It is nothing like Fallout Shelter. More like Sims. It is a little clunky to control on Xbox - but I could seeing it work really well for pick up and play on Switch.
Another Fallout and This War of Mine Complete Edition and Construction Plus and Project HighRise and New Kingdom but if it comes Physical I will order to collect.
@ThanosReXXX Did you watch the video? Doesn't seem much like Fallout Shelter to me. This looks oppressive and grim with no humor for starters.
@aaronsullivan Yeah, but after posting the comment. I basically formed my initial opinion of it, based on it looking really similar with the side-on, cut-through underground chamber look that is almost exactly the same as in Fallout Shelter.
The only differences then being the pixel art style, and the more grim/more serious story.
Mind you, in my humble opinion, the pixel art is actually detracting from that more serious story, because no offense, but for me personally, pixel art is too lacking to be able to impress me in such a way.
Much like that survival horror game that was featured in an article a couple of days ago. I can't even for a second feel any fear or anxiety with graphics such as these.
If I now play the original Resident Evil on my N64, all I have to do is laugh, whereas back in the day, the dogs jumping through the window almost had me jumping from my couch and up into the ceiling.
It's true that even the simplest of graphics can still convey a certain emotion, but it most certainly also has its limits.
So its a pixel Teen-rated version (also smaller) of This War of Mine (M rated)....?
