Will not let me complete the task, just sends me to the parrot tree but no Kaboom quest and it says I have to complete 4. I’ve re started game and upgraded still nothing. Also some items take too long time wise to collect, can get a little tedious at times. I love the game but it could be so much more. ### 3/5 — Good But… *2025-02-15, version 1.53.1* I got this game thinking it was a breeze but the wait times are ridiculous 3 hours to build something you will not use that often is outrageous ### 2/5 — Used to be great *2024-12-23, version 1.53.1* But it has been so long since there has been a good update. Instead the same challenges are repeated. This is so disappointing. When will there be a proper update, map expansion or new challenge. Has the company shut down?? ### 2/5 — Different Tasks *2024-10-30, version 1.53.1* Great game but getting boring when the tasks are always the same few things. How many pineapples or mushrooms does a player need? There are many other production huts besides the carpenter and dairy barn. Please change it up a bit more before I bail because I’m bored. Seems like the developers are good with the status quo. Nothing new to do. ### 2/5 — Too Hard *2024-05-12, version 1.53.1* I really enjoyed this game, but once you reach a certain level it gets to difficult. The game becomes hard work and the fun factor is gone. - The dives need to have a longer time gap between them so people can prepare. - Players need to be able to trade with other team members, or an open market to buy/sell (works well in other games). - Vary dive items, so you don’t get the same thing 4 dives in row. - Have less island items as dive requirements. 4 hour island trip to get nothing, then needing 6 of that item for one dive is ridiculous. Please improve. You encourage team working, but people keep leaving the game because it’s no longer fun. ### 4/5 — Great game *2024-04-22, version 1.53.1* I have been playing this game for a couple of years. There are new tasks and discoveries that make the game interesting. I think instead of a “resource request” from your team, we should have trade ship, where we can buy/sell a few items every 12 to 24 hours. Especially when the sub requests multiple things from one vendor! Unfortunately, once you get to higher levels (75) and explore the seas, it gets to be like groundhog day. ### 2/5 — What’s with the long adverts *2024-04-19, version 1.53.1* I used to love this game, playing it everyday. But the adverts have been replaced with 2 minute long adverts you HAVE to watch and click about 10 times through 4 pop up screens just to get out of the advert, just to be able to achieve an event goal. It makes me not want to meet the goal, so why would I ever pay for the premium rewards?? ### 2/5 — Good concept…lousy execution *2024-04-03, version 1.53.1* I like the game idea and some of its play but the pirates attack way to often.. like this morning they attacked 6 times in a half hour… thats just stupid. I have 2 huge farms, 8 small farms, and 2 hunters and still can’t keep 50 survivors fed… stupid I need iron to upgrade defences from like level 2 and still can’t get an iron mine at level 6… stupid Can’t build walls or gates for defence to keep the annoying pirates out… stupid 2 hunters roam around aimlessly while village is constantly attacked by snakes and bears, killing villagers…stupid Takes far to long to accumulate enough resources to upgrade buildings, or build new ones, when all you do is constantly repair existing buildings after pirate raids. It takes to long to upgrade due to lousy design on the build and resource mechanics. Villagers constantly die and get replaced just because the mechanics of the game are amateurish. Would be a really good game if it was designed better with thought and logic. The goal of the game currently is just keep replacing the villagers as they die and slowly build more buildings for no particular reason as you can’t stop the pirates or animals from attacking and killing. The goal should be to stop the attacks and keep the villagers alive. - Get rid of the stupid kitchen things and have a longhouse for a communal meal twice daily… in the morning and at dusk. - make walls and gates a build option early on to protect the village so upgrading and improving are easier - once you need a certain resource to upgrade you should be able to access that resource not wait 3 levels - make the fire and underground adventure cavern moveable so the whole village can be customized in design by the player, or put the cavern entrance on the shore either near the dock bridge or ship wreck so it’s out of the way and put the fire farther from the dock bridge - make villagers require less food daily to survive and farms and hunters produce more food daily so you can actually start to build a surplus instead of running out every day ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2023-12-31, version 1.53.1* I would seriously have rated this game much higher except for the many glitches in it. Bonuses are dependent on watching videos but they are not always available. Right now I’ve been able to play a video on 2 out of the past 21 days! Not kidding. Also, there are missions that are 10 minutes or less long, but need multiple items that take hours or even days to collect. This greatly reduces the fun factor. ### 2/5 — Just started… *2023-12-28, version 1.53.1* But I’m already becoming annoyed with the tutorial forcing me to build when I’m not ready to. I almost have areas cleared I had planned for certain builds. Normally, not an issue as I would simply click the building… and move it as most games allow. So far, I’m not able to move buildings and that’s taking away from the aesthetic for me. Will update as I play further and maybe a “moving” feature will become available. Because destroying a high level building, to rebuild it back up in another spot is going to be an automatic delete for me. ### 2/5 — Game Reset *2023-10-18, version 1.53.1* I wasn’t able to play the game for more than a week, instead of being able to get back into the game at the point where I left, the game reset to the beginning. ### 2/5 — Fun game… but the adds! *2023-09-14, version 1.53.1* The in game adds actually open the App Store on your phone when you try to click the X to close the add screen. It’s not ok with me! An add here and there are fine, but when the app actually opens other apps in my phone without my permission, that’s a big no for me! ### 3/5 — Frozen. *2023-08-18, version 1.53.1* The game will not load. The rest of mine does. I have not seen an update to be able to download. ### 3/5 — Great game but…. *2023-08-03, version 1.53.1* I’m loving this game! It’s great to play but something’s are ridiculously expensive! For example one berry bush cost 3000 coins and the next one 4500 coins! Talk about inflation! It’s a bush it’s should cost at 500 coins max especially if you have buildings that cost over 5000 coins to buy yet! How am I suppose buy everything if I don’t get enough coins fast enough to purchase the things I need? Also any time a building takes over 11 hours to create is utterly ridiculous too! Half my time is waiting for things to be done! Less hours to build buildings would be great! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pay to play *2025-02-12, version 1.53.1* Keep socks it’s just a pay to play game ### 1/5 — Update *2025-01-14, version 1.53.1* It’s a fabulous game & too much fun, but we need an update on this app. ### 1/5 — Loading Issues *2024-09-30, version 1.53.1* Use to be an enjoyable game but has had loading and reloading issues for so long.

I love these types of games, especially the ones similar to Clash of Clans, and this has become my new favorite. I play it whenever my CoC upgrades are in progress. I could spend hours on this game! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-02-07, version 1.53.1* I really enjoy playing this game. It’s a good game to play randomly throughout the day. ### 5/5 — GREAT GAME but STUPID commercials *2023-07-21, version 1.53.1* LOVE THIS GAME!! Please, please, please, STOP with the STUPID Royal Match commercials. They play one after another, after another, after another, ad nauseam. The are hideous and make you PLAY it before they go away. I have had it shoved down my throat so much that I’ll never play the game. If it continues…I’ll probably stop playing Lost Survivors as well as it is RUINING my game playing experience. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
