Fallout serieshas a special place in the hearts of players with its deep story and unique gaming experience in the post-apocalyptic world. Since the release of the first game in 1997, the series has been enriched by many different games and expansion packs.
The series’ timeline spans from the pre-war years to the “fifties future” and the decades following the world’s destruction by nuclear war. Aiming to explore ideas revolving around a futuristic, post-nuclear world, the game setting exists in a branching timeline after World War II. This fork led to a world where technology advanced rapidly while maintaining mid-century cultural norms.
Fallout Games Are Inspired by Mad Max
As a franchise, Fallout has been inspired by the Mad Max movies from the beginning. Although Mad Max released a video game adaptation in 2015, the Fallout games have been enjoyed by many Mad Max fans in need of a post-apocalyptic experience. While George Miller’s masterpiece Mad Max takes on the Australian badlands, Fallout gives players the chance to play out their Road Warrior fantasies with an American twist.
The series includes six full role-playing games (Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76), one team-based tactical RPG combat spin-off game (Fallout Tactics), one action RPG dungeon crawler spin-off game (Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel) and a simulation game (Fallout Shelter).

Some lucky people had managed to reach the safety of the vaults, massive underground dwellings during the war, but when the water purification control chip in Vault 13 malfunctions, one person is sent to the surface to find a new chip and ventures out to face a dangerous world, hoping to return in one hundred and fifty days.
