Impressive and ambitious survival game with fantastic, realistic graphics and atmospheric sound design.
Great open-world gameplay with engaging exploration and survival elements reminiscent of popular titles like DayZ and 7 Days to Die.
Smooth performance on many devices, with a loyal fan base praising its story, immersive Chernobyl setting, and replayability.

Controls are often described as clunky, unresponsive, and not customizable, with buttons being too small and difficult to use.
The game has numerous bugs and glitches, including crashes, freezing, visual glitches, and issues with inventory and crafting menus.
Despite being labeled as free, the game is actually a demo that requires purchase to unlock full content, which frustrates many users and leads to negative experiences.

The game’s graphics are widely praised for being high-quality, realistic, and comparable to console-level visuals, creating an immersive and adventurous experience. However, many users report performance issues such as lag, crashes, and excessive battery drain on some devices, with calls for better optimization and graphic settings. Additionally, some feel the Android graphics are inferior to the iOS version and request improvements to match that quality.
- “The graphics, effects & models are very high end and of console level but still it could deliver a gameplay of decent framerates, that's really unbelievable.”
- “Animations are so great that when the zombies pop out of nowhere I get scared by them and my heart rate rises. Overall, the game has huge potential and the FPS drops here and there but not much. You need a very good device like the Galaxy S7 to run this game in max graphics with very little or no lag at all. Good job devs!”
- “...awesome game with really cool graphics and atmosphere... brings me back to the golden PC games age of S.T.A.L.K.E.R... keep up the good work.”
- “I am giving 1 star to this game. The problem is I have guessed one thing: you give better graphics on the iOS platform. Please make the graphics like the iOS platform, mainly Radiation Island. I have watched that on iOS, Radiation Island's graphics are better than Radiation Island on Android. The grasses on iOS Radiation Island are very green and beautiful. Please make Radiation Island Android's graphics like iOS, then I will definitely give 5 stars.”
- “Very bad controls, worst graphics, waste of memory...”
- “But its controls are buggy, the graphics glitch often, and it doesn't really give you time to truly understand the game before enemies appear.”

The story is generally praised for being interesting and suspenseful, contributing positively to the game's appeal. However, players frequently criticize the forced paywall that interrupts the narrative early, limiting access to only a few missions before requiring purchase to continue. This pay restriction, combined with control issues, often detracts from fully enjoying the story.
- “It's kept me really enthralled, the sound is spot on to keep it a little suspenseful, and the story has been interesting to follow!”
- “It was a very hidden game but it was so awesome with a very good story and game.”
- “The game seems fun, and it has an interesting storyline.”
- “Worst game ever. It clearly states that it is Radiation City Free, but after the 3rd mission it asks you to pay for the full version.”
- “Controls are difficult and walking to do anything is greeted by 'please purchase the full story to unlock game.' Very bad.”
- “Don't download. It's not free to play. After two 5-minute missions you need to buy the full game, otherwise you can't play. Your data is just wasted. Very worst.”

Users report performance problems, especially on lower-end devices, with buggy controls and graphical glitches making the experience frustrating.

- “I have a lot of gaming experience, but this game crashes again and again. It is only single player and it freezes. There is no gun shop. Please fix these problems.”
- “Unexpectedly buggy, can't even play around 30 minutes because my eyes hurt to see 1 frame per second. Please fix the issues, my phone is Moto G5 Plus.”

Additionally, some players mention gameplay limitations in the free version, requiring purchase to continue playing.
- “I have been playing the game for almost a year and never got bored once. I have completed the game 19 times. However, some bugs affect gameplay, such as screen glitches when hitting zombies with a car and movement issues after attacking zombies. Fixing these would improve the experience.”
- “The graphics, effects, and models are very high-end and of console level, yet the game still delivers decent framerates, which is really unbelievable.”
- “Gameplay is very smooth.”
- “Very bad gameplay and worst controls.”
- “Hey devs, I have something to say. The game is absolutely worth playing; I have been playing for almost a year and have never gotten bored. I have completed the game 19 times, but the bugs negatively affect the gameplay. For example, if you hit a zombie with a car, the whole screen turns blue, forcing me to make a new save or reinstall the game. Also, if you run into a zombie and hit it, you cannot move. Please fix and update the game.”
- “Friends, you can't play the full game. After about 10-15 minutes of gameplay, it asks you to purchase the full version for Rs 330/- to continue.”

The game's optimization is inconsistent, running smoothly on some devices even at high graphics, but overall it suffers from poor adaptation to newer screens, small and inconvenient button sizes, frequent crashes, and lag issues.

- “My complaint is that the display is not optimized enough for newer rounded edge screens, and many action buttons, including the options button, are too small.”
- “So I guess the game is not yet optimized for my current phone.”

monetization

Users express frustration with the game's monetization, particularly disliking the mandatory purchase to continue playing and the lack of ad-supported free play options. Many suggest implementing ads for free trials or gameplay extensions to accommodate those unable or unwilling to make in-app purchases. Overall, the restrictive paywall and aggressive in-app purchase prompts are disappointing to players.
- “Make the game free with ads and charge to remove the ads. I hate that I can't continue the game unless I buy the full game. Disappointing.”
- “Please add ads only for free trial versions. Some ads mean some time to play more levels. Please, I don't have bank cards and am not able to pay you, so ads please.”
- “Did you see that 'in-app purchase' right under that install button?”
