## What is Radiation City?

Radiation City
 
Welcome to the world of Radiation City where a great survival adventure awaits you!
 
Forty years after the unfortunate accident of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, destiny brings you to the area of carefully recreated city of Pripyat. Uncover the amazing story, untangle the mystery and try to save your loved one.
 
This is not an easy task. It’s a huge open world area filled with dangers and anomalies. Hungry predators and sub-human creatures, they all want a piece of you. The elements, combined with radiation and unexplained phenomenon, make the lovely looking environment a place where you shouldn’t be.  Yet, here you are.
 
Scavenge for resources inside any building and especially the landmarks of Pripyat: hotel Polissya, the cultural center, cinema Prometheus, the swimming pool and all the abandoned flat buildings. Craft and choose your gear wisely. Discover and use the campsites for safely passing the nights.  Equipment, weapons and the vehicles you may find and use are your only friends.
 
Good luck!

### 5/5 — Amazing game, but could use some more content

*2026-08-25, version 1.0.8*

The game is EASILY beating every other survival game out there by a mile, the features are fun, the male is big, it’s realistic, it’s fun, it’s really good! But just like every other game, it could use some content. First: I feel like there should be more car variants and that instead of being immediately getting kicked out of the car when it crashes, that the car just stops working. Another thing is that you can sleep in the backseats of the car when stopped just to be convenient. 

Second: I think it would be much easier to shoot guns if you can actually aim, and considering you can only zoom with the sniper, it would be very helpful. Another thing about the guns is that we can see the shells ejecting along with attachments Locke new stocks, ammo types, sights, ect.

Third: I think the durability is a little wonky. I know this game is very old, but it would be cool to actually have to find materials to repair your items or clean and maintain your weapons, along with the cars like oil changing, engine overheating because you didn’t put water in the radiator, changing tires, stuff like that.

Fourth: I think instead of degrading and breaking you clothes, if you stay more then 5 minutes in extreme radiation, instead of destroying them, it irradiates them, so that if you change clothes and put the irradiated ones on, you get radiation over time. The survival is really good! But I think it would be cool to be cold at night, and sometimes hot during really hot days or if you put on warm clothes. I also think that heavy bleeding damage REQUIRES you to bandage yourself, and have a small blood trail follow you until you bandage yourself or bleed out. 


CONCLUSION: this game is amazing, and I obviously don’t expect everything in this review to be added, these are just suggestions to make the game better, this was a very long and honestly almost greedy review, but like I said, it’s just suggestions. I hope you, developer see this and add some of my ideas!

### 4/5 — Good. But I literally can’t play the game.

*2026-01-31, version 1.0.7*

So whenever I open the game, I can only play for 5 seconds before it crashes. I’ve tried everything. Restarting, resetting, offloading but nothing works. So…PLEASE FIX YOUR GAME SO I CAN PLAY IT. K THX 😝

### 5/5 — Really Scary - Excellent

*2025-12-01, version 1.0.7*

I am playing this game that day and it has been like 2 hours and above straightly playing it non-stop and lights are off and purely in first person and the horror builds gradually and eventually you will start to panic the moment zombie creatures will run at your face and attacking you.

The calmness and relaxing ambient and horror at the same time at morning to afternoon and horror feels starts to develop at night time when you are playing this game and being captivated to it and focused onto it and eventually the experience will be horrifying and induces panic experience.

### 3/5 — Rendimiento

*2025-11-30, version 1.0.7*

Está bien. Pero necesitan actualizar el rendimiento calienta mucho mi ip 12

### 3/5 — Verbuggt auf Apple TV

*2025-11-20*

Eigentlich vom Gameplay und Grafik ganz gut. Aber auf dem Apple TV sind ganz viele Fehler einprogrammiert. Zum Beispiel stürzt das Spiel sporadisch ab. Die Landschaften zeigen starke Pixel und Polygon Fragmente. Oft funktionieren einige wichtige Tasten. Auf dem Controller auch nicht, bitte Bugfixes nachschieben. Darf bei einem Spiel was Geld kostet nicht passieren.

### 5/5 — My experience since 2017

*2025-10-27, version 1.0.7*

I have been a huge fan of atypical games however Radiation City has been one of my favorites along with escape from Chernobyl now for a long time I was unable to play this game due to bugs, screen, sizing issues, and their inability to timely update. However, this game seems to be working fluently and perfectly, and I still can’t say this is one of my favorites on iPhone. I don’t have no regrets at all buying this game and I would pay for it again gladly. I do wish they would come out with more open world games like this one fully single player because that is what the gaming community is missing and that’s what we miss as gamers.

### 3/5 — Bugzz needs fixing

*2025-09-03, version 1.0.7*

New here 1st time playing good game overall but experiencing a lot of game crashes and lags using new iOS devices which would be good for the game.

### 4/5 — Bugs

*2025-08-15, version 1.0.7*

Please update the max graphics have cash when I swim

### 5/5 — The best game ever!

*2025-01-29, version 1.0.7*

This game is so good I remember I played it since I was 12, the graphics are insanely good ,the soundtracks of the zombies and the animals are also good , this game is peak all it requires tho is just some movement fixes of the zombies and that’s it !

### 2/5 — Tiba tiba ngulang dari awal

*2024-12-31, version 1.0.7*

Masa tiba tiba mental terus nulang dari awal soh ga jelas bngt nih game
