Edit: when your in the game and fighting against the waves, make it to where you get both the things you need to upgrade and something new to get to help you overcome the waves. At this point i might just head over to archero 2 because it has everything that this game needs. ### 4/5 — Fun game for a month *2025-04-09, version 1.4.7* TLDR: fun game to play for a month, $10 for no ads, nearly required for playing experience. I picked up this game after playing Survivor.io, because I wanted to start over without losing my progress in that game. It worked, bought the no ads for a month for $10, probably not going to renew or keep playing. Though it was fun, it is, in a word: "janky" some of the mini game items don't load, so you get nothing, not game breaking, just annoying reminders that you're playing a ripoff version. Also I just hit an achievement for 4,500 ads, obviously I didn't since I paid for no ads, but that's crazy that there was even that many possible in only a month. I reached lv 50, the main trouble resource is gold, there's also no free way to earn assistants, unless you watch two ads per level. So ye, it's pretty unplayable without paying to remove ads. Other than that it was a really fun game! If they can fix the small bugs and maybe add more player interaction, I might be back for more! ### 3/5 — La letra de los idiomas *2025-03-02, version 1.4.6* La letra de los idiomas puede ser muy pequeña o muy grande por ejemplo el español no se ve casi nada si la pudiera poner con la letra del título del juego así de grande fuera bueno pero el juego esta bien ### 2/5 — Very Fun at first. *2025-01-15, version 1.4.6* Very Fun at 1st then it started to get very annoying because of the adds, was going to pay to remove adds but the game aint that great to pay a monthly fee. Moving on to another game app. ### 2/5 — 100500 дней гринда *2024-10-21* на песочных островах не мог пройти уровень 5 дней, гриндился, и теперь игра не запускается:( застревает на 15 процентах ### 2/5 — Ad *2024-10-12, version 1.3.9* Ads are okay, but they should be used to incentivize the game economy (get gems, extra plays, keys, etc.). In this game, you just get hit with ads just for playing. ### 2/5 — Increase matching skill consistency *2024-09-21, version 1.3.9* The game is fun, one of the better rougelikes out there, my only issue is the consistency of matching skills. For a game that is based upon choosing skills and evolving them, nothing is more frustrating than trying to evolve a skill, only for the corresponding skill to never show up as an option. Makes the game frustrating and less playable than other titles that lets you upgrade all your skills through a single run. ### 4/5 — Sort of a copy *2024-09-09, version 1.3.9* Basically its just too much like survivor.io witch it may just be inspiration but maybe a bit too much of it , not a bad game though ### 2/5 — Ads mid game… yay…. *2024-06-08, version 1.3.6* Title speaks for itself ### 4/5 — It’s a cool game *2024-03-03, version 1.3.4* The ads need to be removed from the in-game gameplay. It’s something about a pop-up ad to receive a buff in the middle of my game a bit annoying because it breaks immersion and in the middle of my game I have to stop and watch a 56 to 40 second ad. The skills are super unique and well thought out. Good game ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2024-02-08, version 1.3.3* Even though this game seems like a copy of Survivor.IO it’s still very fun and in my opinion it’s better! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game crash *2025-11-08, version 1.5.2* I got through the first level just fine. I have attempted the next level and it keeps crashing. It forces me to start over. I can’t pick up where I left off. I’ve tried this multiple times and it still happens. What’s the issue here? Please fix it. ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-10-17, version 1.5.1* Ads ### 1/5 — Stop making Holy things common *2024-11-21, version 1.4.2* I didn’t like that you used Angels as a weapon. I uninstalled over that. ### 1/5 — Forced unskippable ads *2024-11-04, version 1.4.1* Within 10 minutes of downloading the game it made me sit through 3 forced unskippable 60 second ads. ### 1/5 — Copycat *2024-07-16, version 1.3.8* It’s just a bad copy of survival.io ### 1/5 — BRUH *2024-04-14, version 1.3.4* WHY THERES A COPIED SURVIVOR. OI. LIKE WHY THERES A SURVIVOR OI. IN A COPIED VERSION ,NAH ### 1/5 — Don’t get this *2024-02-21, version 1.3.3* This is a this is basically a survival.io breast ### 1/5 — Garbage P2W *2024-02-21, version 1.3.3* When the game released, there was a permanent ad remover for $10, then devs removed a permanent ad remover and sell a $10 monthly card with an ad-remove function (People who bought a permanent ad remover got taken away by devs). Then, recently they added a $20 monthly card and removed an ad-remove function from $10 monthly card. NOW U NEED TO PAY $20 EVERY 30 DAYS FOR AD-REMOVE. What's next? They will probably charge $40 for ad-free experiences in the near future. Not to mention, S tier characters are only obtainable by spending $$$. After unlock S tier char, u need to spend thousands of $$$ to max out stars. This kind of simple low cost game isn't worth more than $10. What a worthless greedy gaming studio it is 🤬🤬 ### 1/5 — FAkE GAME READ NOW *2024-02-04, version 1.3.3* PLAY SURVIVOR.IO NOT THIS ONE THIS GAME IS FAKE THE REAL ONE IS SURVIVOR.IO AND VAMPIRE SURVIVOR IS THE PTHER REAL ONE ### 1/5 — FAkE GAME READ NOW *2024-01-25* PLAY SURVIVOR.IO NOT THIS ONE THIS GAME IS FAKE THE REAL ONE IS SURVIVOR.IO AND VAMPIRE SURVIVOR ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — HS io *2026-04-08, version 1.5.4* Awesome rogue like game, one of the far better ones, it has lots of different modes u can choose & the gameplay is fresh & fun, good pet ups too.
