Unfortunately, when I go to open the app, it immediately closes. I have no way of reaching support because when I use the app support button at the bottom of the game page on the App Store, the link is either broken or there is no page:( Hopefully, I can get some help as I really would love to play and I did spend the money for it as well. ### 3/5 — Please fix the new bugs. This game was fun! *2026-06-30, version 1.0.16* I’ve played this game for years. I’m glad developers are still bothering to update. I didn’t think it needed much. Now the maps are sometimes tiny, you can get stalled/bit by crocs in a canoe, digging for chests is buggy. Please fix it. This game was good! ### 3/5 — Не стоит покупать *2026-04-27, version 1.0.15* Графическая составляющая игры на высоте, звуковая 4/5. Большой мир, интересно записки читать (сюжет). Но никуда без оружия дальнего действия не сможешь добраться из-за множества опасных противников, встречающихся по пути ### 4/5 — 楽しい *2026-04-15* ドキドキして良き、アップデートありがとう！ ### 4/5 — Графику исправили это хорошо *2026-04-05* Но много недоделок . На лодке плавать невозможно, на дельтаплане тоже не полетать . Исправляйте ### 3/5 — Latest update is glitchy but promising *2026-04-02, version 1.0.15* I really enjoyed playing Radiation Island for the past few years. It’s a really immersive experience and lots of fun. Recently there was a compatibility update; the first update in many years. It’s quite the graphical overhaul: stones now have moss on them, torches have a more natural glow, fog looks better, the stars are brighter at night and they finally added rain and thunderstorms (with actual thunder!) I can’t wait to see what else has been added. That said, the update also glitches the game in a few ways: sometimes the map symbols become really tiny, the top left slot in the backpack keeps glowing, it’s clunkier to open boxes, if you have a shovel in your hand and you open the journal you automatically dig the ground, and the colors seem a bit desaturated somehow. The devs have been fixing the bugs with each new update so I’m hoping the game will look and play fabulously by the time they’ve fixed everything. ### 4/5 — Huge graphics issue (love the game) *2026-03-31, version 1.0.14* Nearly unplayable at the moment. Hopefully will be fixed soon ### 3/5 — Latest update made the graphics glitchy *2026-03-29* I really enjoyed playing Radiation Island for the past few years. It’s a really immersive experience and lots of fun. Recently there was a compatibility update; the first update in many years. So I figured I’d update the game, but after that I did so, the graphics took a turn for the worse. Textures became flat and blocky and phase in and out of existence, the in-game menu (journal) had weird pixelization around the edges, the map symbols became really tiny, and overall the game now looks bad. It’s a pity, because it worked 100% fine before; if I had known the update would butcher the graphics, I would not have updated it. UPDATE: The latest update fixed some of the glitches, but not all. Map symbols are no longer tiny, the sky looks fine for the most part. But the floor textures still pop in and out, the journal is still pixelated around the edges, and the first space in the inventory continues to glow even after the tutorial is completed. ### 3/5 — Latest update made the graphics glitchy *2026-03-22* I really enjoyed playing Radiation Island for the past few years.

But, *2026-02-12, version 1.0.12* Do U still update the game? It’s a really nice survival, but some bugs - mac os in particular - occure pretty often. Once u enter key binding tab, u need to force close the game. Would be nice to see U still work on that title! ### 2/5 — เด้งหลุด *2025-11-01, version 1.0.12* เล่นๆอยู่เกมเด้งหลุด แล้วกลับเข้ามาในเกม ของหายหมดเลย เหลือแต่ของในตัว แต่ของที่เก็บไว้ในกล่องที่บ้านหายหมดเลย ทำไงดีล่ะ ### 5/5 — Mehr updates *2025-07-27* Seit Jahren spiele ich das spiel hin und wieder und habe es auch durchgespielt ich weiß es ist schon alt jedoch wünsche ich mir einen neuen teil oder updates ich habe die anderen 2 teile bereits gespielt jedoch kommt keines an radiation island ran es ist kein perfektes spiel aber für mobile Verhältnisse gut es wäre schön wenn sich der Entwickler mehr für die spieler interessieren würde und nicht nur spiele wie am fließband voller bugs und wenig inhalt veröffentlicht ### 5/5 — 멀티 문제 *2025-06-04* 전기탑 3개섬 완료하고 중앙탑도 완료해서 멀티 플레이 하려 하는데 사람이 없는건지 안되네요 게임 자체는 재밌습니다 가끔 동물이나 좀비가 갑툭튀하긴해요 ㅎ ### 5/5 — IOS não recupera conta *2025-04-21* Estou com problema para recuperar minha conta antiga, foi encaminhado um e-mail, aguardo resposta... ### 5/5 — PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE KEEP UPDATING THIS HIDDEN GEM *2025-04-15, version 1.0.12* Please ### 5/5 — 13 years later still playing *2025-02-11, version 1.0.12* I just raid the bases get a bunch of smg ammo and sweep zombies so fun, also build a town ### 5/5 — Suggestion if you still update this tame *2025-02-08, version 1.0.12* So how about a creative mode where you can toggle having either no hostile creatures attacking you or all hostile creatures attack you? Along with infinite crafting ### 5/5 — Game Still Amazing *2024-10-16, version 1.0.12* Played the game on and off for a couple years. Started a new play through this year, and finally beat it. The disappearing loot glitch has been fixed, just don't store things in chests you didn't craft. The story, and particularly the ending, are a little lackluster- but still have some good elements of intrigue. My two complaints would be: first, i wish the crafted foundations and walls would come together better, this was never patched. Some large gaps remain. My second complaint would be, i wish there was more replayability once the game has been completed, something one could work towards. I know the developer says the game won't be updated anymore as it is not feasible, and that's a shame. All in all, however, the game still stands as a solid and enjoyable experience, and i have purchased the second game in the series to continue my adventure. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Malo *2026-02-25, version 1.0.12* El juego es bueno pero se te borra el inventario de la nada ### 1/5 — Bug de sauvegarde *2024-10-15* Après une bonne progression avec beaucoup de stuff accumulé, crash du jeu, et tout le stuff perdu sans aucune possibilité de le récupérer, décevant car c’est un jeu plutôt divertissant malgré un gameplay un peu lourd et pas super adapté un iPad ou iPhone ### 1/5 — Mediocre Game *2023-10-25, version 1.0.12* A waste of money ### 1/5 — เกมส์เด้งออก *2023-09-15, version 1.0.11* เล่นๆอยู่เด้งออก ของหาย ปรับปรุงด่วนครับ ซื้อมาเสียตังนะ เสียเวลาครับ ไม่อยากหาของใหม่ ใครที่จะซื้อเกมส์นี้ดูคอมเม้นก่อน เป็นทุกมือถือเเน่นอน เล่นๆอยู่เด้งออกตลอด ### 1/5 — Fix bug and everything GONE !!!!! *2023-07-01, version 1.0.11* All my item and weapon is gone. So many item and this game bug and everything is gone. And play from zero back. I really disappointed. Everything is great. But this bug make me dont want to okay this game anymore. So bad about that. ### 1/5 — Great game but losing all progress to a glitch is maddening *2023-05-10, version 1.0.11* I lost many ours of of crafting, building and exploring to a glitch. So promising yet so disappointing. ### 1/5 — Se me borro todo *2023-01-21, version 1.0.11* Iba muy bien ya había desactivado varías Torrez y pum se me borro todo que mal por parte del juego que tenga errores o bueno errores de ese tipo tan graves que mal soluciónenlo ### 1/5 — Crashed and took all my items *2022-02-19, version 1.0.11* Fun game but 2/3 way through it crashed and took away all items and upgrades. For a paid game this is unacceptable. ### 1/5 — Bug perdu toutes les données ! *2022-01-07* Après Avoir joué un certain temps et être arrivé à un stade intéressant du jeu gros bug fermeture inopinée et perte de toutes mes données ! Retour au point de départ !! Pas cool car c est un jeu sympa ### 1/5 — Terrible controls *2021-10-04, version 1.0.11* You can’t walk without jumping up and down uncontrollably 😡 I want my 4.99 back ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome game, can’t stop playing *2026-08-07, version 1.0.16* I love this game, I e completed it 3-4 times, it’s different every time. My only issue currently is sometimes when you use the bed at night and morning coming, the day cycles constantly every few seconds and I have to save and exit and reopen to fix it. Other than that I love it. ### 5/5 — PLEASE PLEASE ADD SOMETHING ANYTHING *2026-07-05, version 1.0.16* Had this game for years now and will always be a favourite starting another play through right now and would love to see some new things added even if small, also love how they have been updating the game recently after like 8 years or something it’s mind blowing ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-05-30, version 1.0.16* God I love this game I play this when I was little me and my brothers played this game for years keep up the great work guys you got my support and respect😁👍 ### 5/5 — Eerie and mysterious *2026-05-27, version 1.0.16* I had a really great time playing this game. It has a very eerie atmosphere with a great complimentary soundtrack. I actually quite like the simplistic movement system, as it gives off sort of an uncanny feeling to the game like you’re not supposed to be there, like you’re in a literal nightmare. I would certainly love a PC version of this game, perhaps with updated graphics. This game is a real gem ### 5/5 — Great Game But…… *2026-04-12, version 1.0.15* Hey guys, you’ve been around forever and I love your game and I actually love the upgrades but there’s just one small problem. I cannot operate the hang glider. Once you doned the glider, you cannot move. Please fix it and thank you for always being responsive. ### 5/5 — Please fix!!! Major BUG *2026-04-05, version 1.0.15* Every thing disappears!!! Home build and everything disappears, all the progress!!! Please fix! Love the game!!! But it doesn’t make sense to play anymore if everything gets lost! Unable to control glider, have to switch to custom hi. ### 5/5 — Viele bugs seit dem letzten Update *2026-04-05* TAg Nacht wechselt alle 15 sekunden, kanu und Drachen funktionieren nicht ### 5/5 — They fixed the bugs and improved the graphics. *2026-03-31, version 1.0.14* Thunderstorms now work in this version. This is probably the best version of the game right now in terms of being bug free. I like this game way more than any person should but this world never gets old. Thank you! P.S. Maybe it’s just like this now but the older version of the game used to zoom in when you held down the old rifles fire button. Made it like a sniper rifle. That doesn’t work anymore on this version or on PC. In any case appreciate the updates. ### 5/5 — Arkadaşlar satın almayın sakın !!!! *2026-01-16, version 1.0.12* Satın aldım oyun atıyor. Bütün topladığım itemler yok oldu arkadaşlar oyun sürekli atıyor almayın bütün itemler yok oluyor ### 5/5 — เล่นเกมนี้มา 8ปีแล้วถือว่าเป็นภาคที่สนุกที่สุดแล้ว *2025-08-31, version 1.0.12* ส่วนตัวชอบมากๆ บรรยากาศเกาะ แสง อยากให้มีปรับตั้งค่ากราฟฟิก+ สภาพอากาศแบบฝนตก ลองอัปเดทให้หน่อยนะครับ ลองโหลดมาเล่นกันดูสนุกมาก 10/10 คนออกแบบเกมนี่รู้เลยว่าต้องรักเกมนี้ขนาดไหนถุงทำออกมา สำหรับเกมมือถือคือที่สุดครับยุคนี้ไม่ค่อยมีเกมแนวนี่ออกมาแล้ว --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
