### 4/5 — Very good bet

*2026-08-29, version 2.9.3*

I think just i want no ads

### 4/5 — Pretty fun!

*2026-08-28, version 2.9.3*

I really enjoyed the graphics I just wish I was better at it lol!

### 3/5 — Meh

*2026-08-26, version 2.9.3*

Fun but way too many ads

### 1/5 — Not free anymore ???

*2026-08-24, version 2.9.3*

Dumb!!! I played this years ago & this was never a pay to play game it was Free ! You guys really lost out on something that could have been big. Paying for extras makes sense but not to play it entirely SMH

### 2/5 — It is not loading

*2026-08-23, version 2.9.3*

The game is stuck loading and it won’t start

### 4/5 — Teach of survival

*2026-08-23, version 2.9.3*

It only loses a star because you can’t die really easily you can’t really get the supply’s you need from the dead body on the ground so I would rate the game M so don’t get little kids playing this

### 3/5 — Mid game

*2026-08-23, version 2.9.3*

When I played this game a shark attacked my raft and my got an add so I couldn’t do anything and the shark just bit off part of my raft

### 1/5 — Couldn’t access the game

*2026-08-23, version 2.9.3*

Stuck on the subscribe page with no way out. Very heavily urging pay to play. Read a review previously saying the same but just couldn’t get past the page. An X for out would be very much appreciated

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY

*2026-08-23, version 2.9.3*

This game is fun, but impossible to play. My money was literally stolen. I paid $60 to play the game fully. Even after that, I had to watch ads and pay for literally EVERYTHING. Even still, I bought a few things like food, first aid, etc. BUT IT WONT EVEN SHOW UP THAT IT WAS PURCHASED!!!!!!! I spent several dollars and the stuff won’t show up in my backpack or mailbox. Seriously just got robbed by this game!!!! I am so angry!!!!

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-08-23, version 2.9.3*

Bad

### 1/5 — Cost

*2026-08-23, version 2.9.3*

The game is free to download, however you will not play it without paying 11.99 a week or 59.99 a year. The subscription is as optional as buying a game that costs $59.99.

### 3/5 — Good game love it

*2026-08-22, version 2.9.3*

But hate the fact how it keep making me play app anything I need to do in the game

### 1/5 — Subscriptions subscriptions…

*2026-08-22, version 2.9.3*

You cannot play without selecting a subscription! The creator has responded to many reviews stating to just exit out of this page but it’s not possible. The only way to play is to pay.

### 2/5 — Pricey asf

*2026-08-22, version 2.9.3*

I used to love this game and tried playing it again, why does EVERYTHING cost money bruh. Can’t have more than one chest? Can only have 10 inventory slots and chest is 5 so can hold hardly anything? This game is so wack now just greedy developers.

### 1/5 — No es gratis

*2026-08-31, version 2.9.3*

Pongan el precio para que la gente que no quiera pagar por un juego que tiene mensualidad no pierda el tiempo descargando. Ni es un precio es mensual qué burla.

### 1/5 — Scam!!! FAKE ADVERTISING!!!

*2026-08-30, version 2.9.3*

Says it’s free but it’s not!!! Don’t offer a free downloadable game when it’s not!!! Fake advertisement!

### 1/5 — Cash grab

*2026-08-30, version 2.9.3*

Good game just my only complaint is the pure fact that you get only one storage chest to hold all your storage base needs or whatever plus you can get a backpack, which is cool but it’s kind of hard to level up and get to the next backpack or whatever because you are always fighting with storage space like I’m constantly having to remove and delete resources because unfortunately, I just don’t have the storage space and the only way to upgrade or improve your storage chest is to pay real life cash that’s kind of stupid bad design cash grab don’t waste your time unless you’re ready to dump money into this

### 1/5 — ?

*2026-08-30, version 2.9.3*

How do you skip the subscription

### 1/5 — SCAM!!!

*2026-08-30, version 2.9.3*

you can't play the 
game without agreeing to a subscription. I ain't paying $60 for this

### 1/5 — Not free

*2026-08-29, version 2.9.3*

You can download the game for free but have to pay to play.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-08-29, version 2.9.3*

Cost $100 dollars with no warning after claiming to be free with in app purchases

### 1/5 — Pay to win

*2026-08-27, version 2.9.3*

Juegue ese juego desde 2020 y ahora resulta que hay que pagar. Son 100 dólares por año ni que fuese un buen juego de play 5. No tiene sentido

### 1/5 — Too much money

*2026-08-25, version 2.9.3*

It won’t let me play because I have to pay $100 a year and I do not want to do that just for a game. It’s so annoying I can’t play it and it looks so much fun!

### 1/5 — Ripped off my 7 year old

*2026-08-24, version 2.9.3*

I was letting my Child play on my phone and she accidentally purchased something on this app for $60. I submitted the claim and it was denied. There are families that need that money and kids that make mistakes. Regardless, I wish this company would show some compassion on a purchase that isn’t being used. She’s 7 and terrified of sharks.. she should be terrified of the real sharks the creators of this game. Survival Games Ltd. I would gladly remove this review if you refund my daughters purchase.
