  • Wide variety of crafting, building, and exploration options with multiple islands and vehicles like cars and boats.
  • No ads and offline playability offer a smooth gameplay experience without interruptions.
  • Resource gathering is tedious and time-consuming due to high crafting costs and scarce materials.
  • Game controls and UI are unintuitive and sometimes unresponsive, causing frustration during play.
  • Numerous bugs and glitches including disappearing items, issues with saving/loading, stuck vehicles, and zombies attacking through walls.
  • graphics
    108 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are widely praised for being clear, colorful, and impressive for a mobile survival title, with smooth animations and well-designed environments. However, some users note occasional bugs, sharp or flat textures, and performance issues on lower-end devices, suggesting improvements like enhanced shadows, better water effects, and more detailed visuals. Overall, the graphics positively contribute to the immersive and enjoyable gameplay experience, though further refinement could enhance both aesthetics and performance.

    • “The graphics are 10 out of 10 for me, very smooth and colorful, also the detail in this game is amazing!”
    • “Globally, the graphics are absolutely stunning (for mobile phones), the controls are simple and well located on your screen and the survival idea is genius.”
    • “The graphics of the game are incredible!”
    • “The graphics are too sharp and flat; it needs to be soothing to the eye, not this bright, flat, single color ground-like.”
    • “The graphics are bland and plain with low-quality detail, and the mechanics are quite dumb.”
    • “The graphics are not up to the mark; even playing in ultra graphics feels cheap.”
  • story
    46 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the game's story to be minimal or unclear, with many requesting a more developed narrative, missions, lore, and clear goals to enhance engagement. There is a common desire for added story elements, backstory, cinematics, and tutorial guidance to better connect players to the game world. Overall, while the gameplay is praised, the lack of a compelling or comprehensive story is seen as a significant area for improvement.

    • “Some of the things I'd like to see though: 1.) being able to see the crossbow bolts while they are falling 2.) more lore and story into the game 3.) I'd love to see something like using the lighthouses to discover more islands.”
    • “The game is amazing but there are some things to do: 1: the game needs more locations 2: remodel zombies and a detector device (a device which can tell you when the enemy is detecting you) 3: more people and NPCs and more islands 4: more loot and collectables 5: please make the zombies slower and not scary 6: make a story and locations for rest.”
    • “The game small but very satisfying even though I wish there was more of a story to this game but still this is a great game and it delivers a lot more than expected.”
    • “It's been 3 - 4 years and the story has gone absolutely nowhere; each year I reinstall to check and it's still the same.”
    • “There isn't a story, at least not one I could piece together, so why are these things on the islands?”
    • “Has no goal, achievement, or basic story.”
  • gameplay
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its graphics, controls, and survival strategy, offering a relaxing and addictive experience. However, many users report bugs, unbalanced mechanics (such as zombie behavior and crafting costs), and a lack of depth or action, leading to occasional boredom and frustration. Suggestions for improvement include better pet and hunting mechanics, optimized controls, enhanced inventory management, and more engaging content like PvP arenas and trap systems.

    • “Controls are awesome and simple gameplay.”
    • “The graphics are really amazing and the gameplay is wonderful.”
    • “Great graphics, amazing gameplay, good controls, what could go wrong with this amazing survival game!”
    • “The gameplay was tiring; there was nothing interesting about this game whatsoever.”
    • “The game is just completely terrible - gameplay, movement, crafting, resource harvesting, and systems are poorly made.”
    • “Overall not a bad game but it lacks action, better building mechanics, and better inventory to backpack management. It gets frustrating to keep adding resources to the backpack when we should be able to stack items instead of carrying 10 stacks of 50 wood; why not increase it to 1000 wood?”
  • monetization
    27 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the game’s ad-free experience and offline play but express frustration over the removal of the option to watch ads for earning in-game coins. This change forces spending real money to progress, which many find limiting and a turn-off. Overall, monetization feels restrictive compared to earlier versions where ads provided a free way to gain currency.

    • “No ads.”
    • “Great free, no ads, offline, and a survival game.”
    • “This game is so fun and also offline free to play anywhere with no ads popping and spamming your screen.”
    • “The loss of ads to gain coins is a big deal because you must make in-game purchases to have any fun.”
    • “I love love love this game but the fact that you can't get gold coins unless you spend real money (can't watch ads for them anymore) is kinda a real turn off.”
    • “There used to be ads that you could watch to get coins but now there is nothing like that except paying for it.”
  • stability
    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is generally enjoyable but plagued by numerous stability issues, including frequent glitches that disrupt gameplay, such as bugs with crafting, inventory, movement, and vehicle use. These technical problems often cause frustration, lag, and occasional game freezes, highlighting a strong need for performance improvements and bug fixes.

    • “Trees remain after being depleted, making resource gathering complicated; fiber should come from grass instead of random tree drops to reduce collection time. Animals are almost impossible to hunt because you can't get close enough for a hit before they run away (crouching does nothing). Glitches disable actions despite meeting requirements. The game needs a lot of work.”
    • “Please update your buggy game. My main server or game is corrupted; I can't click settings, my backpack, or open anything. I can go through objects except walls, and my storage boxes spin when I go through them. The doors are the only things I can open.”
    • “Too much lagging and glitches to slow. Please improve on it before I delete the game. Yes, it's quite good, but I'm tired of the lagging and glitches.”
  • grinding
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Grinding in the game is a significant aspect, with many players finding it repetitive and time-consuming due to limited variety in animals, resources, and randomized spawn points. While some appreciate the peaceful and intuitive farming experience, others feel the gameplay becomes monotonous and tedious, exacerbated by fast tool breakage and lack of dynamic content. Overall, grinding is a core but sometimes frustrating feature that may deter those seeking more diverse or fast-paced gameplay.

    • “Good game, only 1 star because it becomes very boring with hardly anything to do in the game, no multiplayer with your friends, very few animals to kill with only 3 different animals altogether. Trees don't disappear or fall down, which is very annoying because you keep farming the same depleted trees with no wood to collect. The game feels very basic and weak with much untapped potential, but the developers seem to ignore it and do not reply to feedback.”
    • “The game relies too much on farming and grinding. It's intuitive but a pain to gather basic items like fibers and rocks, making progression tedious.”
    • “Not a bad game if you enjoy spending hours farming to make basic tools that only last about 10 hits, then spending even more hours gathering materials to remake them again.”
  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in this game is widely praised for being relaxing, soothing, and beautifully crafted, significantly enhancing the overall gaming experience. Many players find the background music calming and enjoyable, contributing to their continued engagement with the game.

    • “I love the background music in this game, it's relaxing and soothing.”
    • “The music is so relaxing, I always enjoy playing this game.”
    • “The music relaxes me; it's a nice game.”
  • optimization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Optimization is mixed, with some users experiencing smooth performance even on high settings, while others suggest adding performance and graphics modes to better accommodate weaker devices and reduce lag. Overall, there is room for improvement in balancing quality and performance.

    • “Why not include two modes: 1) Performance mode with lower graphics for better performance, and 2) Graphics mode with enhanced visuals that may cause lag on weaker phones.”
    • “Set the default to performance mode, as having graphics mode as default can cause lag on phones.”
    • “Runs smoothly even on the best settings, and the graphics look amazing!”
    • “Needs to be better optimized.”
    • “Set the performance mode as the default, as using graphics mode by default may cause lag on phones.”
    • “The dog's performance is terrible; when I'm chasing animals, I run faster than it.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere initially feels engaging and immersive but shifts to a gloomy and creepy tone, particularly in certain areas like the bunker or office space. Some players desire a scarier, more challenging environment with added elements like zombie waves and native traders to enhance the game's tension and excitement.

    • “That's until I discovered the bunker/office space... then the mood shifted to a gloomy and creepy atmosphere!”
    • “Played this game since 2016 and I found it great. It's the only game I'm gladly wasting my time on. It would be nice to make the atmosphere scarier by adding challenges like zombie waves at night or day, combining the two islands, and maybe adding natives to trade items.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express frustration with the game's emotional impact due to unclear mechanics causing unexpected character deaths and a lack of inventory space, suggesting improvements for weapon crafting and item persistence to enhance their experience.

  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor aspect is noted as enjoyable and adds a fun element to the challenging survival and combat gameplay, despite some glitches and resource difficulties. Players find it entertaining enough to explore the sequel.
