### 2/5 — This Game is Very Outdated

*2025-06-21, version 1.29.25.0*

This Game is Really Old, but it Was Came From 12 Year Ago that is Older than Me, So I Need a Better Survivalcraft Game, Survivalcraft 2 in the Future

### 3/5 — Bad UI for new devices

*2025-05-10, version 1.29.25.0*

Low stars only for outdated GUI, the bottom navigation bar doesn’t close in this game leading misoperation. Also the Dynamic Island in iphone14 hide the crafting button. The three stars is only for it brings me good memories of my childhood(almost 12y ago). Hope devs can fix it sooner or later and I’ll update the review.

### 3/5 — Ugh

*2025-01-12, version 1.29.25.0*

You have to get furniture in survival craft 2.  WHAT THE HECK

### 4/5 — Suggestions

*2024-10-03, version 1.29.25.0*

Please add multiplayer to the game as well as the ability to change your skin :)

### 3/5 — “Minecraft”

*2023-12-27*

Ok. I just want to say this is nothing like Minecraft. It’s fun and entertaining but there are just so many things that really annoy me.  The first one is why do fish have like 1000 health that’s right A FISH. In Minecraft all you have to do is punch a fish like 2 times but in Survival Craft I think I punched it like 30 times before it died. Second thing that annoys me is that you only have 4 slots to craft things so unless I’m missing something (I probably am) I don’t know how you’re supposed to craft things like swords and pickaxes. And the last things that annoys me is when you go up mountains and all that you get cold. I know that’s kinda realistic but it really annoys me. Although it’s not Minecraft it’s a fun experience even though there are some annoying differences. But the one thing I do like is that you don’t have to make a bed. You just open the inventory and push go to sleep. I do like that idea feature. But if you had to ask me I do think Minecraft is wayyyy better than this game.

### 4/5 — SurvivalCraft = Survival?

*2023-10-09, version 1.29.25.0*

Love this game. I’ve been playing since 2010 and there’s been some amazing changes along the way. 

However, there’s definitely some things that I personally think is missing 
I think EVERY animal you kill in the game, should give you a pelt, AND some meat. No matter WHAT it is. 
The meat can all be the same. It can look all the same and just say “meat” or “pelt”. I’m not asking for anything fancy like two different designs of ‘giraffe meat’ and ‘lion meat’ or ‘giraffe pelt’ ‘lion pelt’ 
I really don’t think it matters. As long as the pelts can be made into clothes, and the meat is edible after cooked. To make it even easier, just use the leather you use for wolves, or fur from bears and just use the meat you get from boars/cows. Same designs same everything. The only thing added, is just the animals that drop them after being killed. 

I’m not a survivalist, but I’d imagine if you were stranded, you would eat every kill you got, and clothe yourself with every kill you got. 

Let me sum up a little summery of what a game mostly looks like 
You start the game, you’re stranded. You get wood, materials, etc. you build a little house for the night so you don’t wake up being beat to death by animals. The next morning you wake up and you hunt some cows. You almost die but you win and kill the cows and get meat. No more cows nearby. You mine material and the sun goes down. You kill 20 wolves and 2 lions on the way home. You get to safety and sleep. You wake up and go outside. No cows, but LOTS of wolves and TONS of lions. You hunt and kill some boars for food, while killing tons of wolves that attack and try to kill you along the way. You kill 3 boars and 10 more wolves. You kill 3 lions surrounding your home to try and keep it safe. You go to sleep and wake up the next morning and no cows, no boars.. but now there’s suddenly 30 wolves, and 10 lions. You kill 30 wolves and all 10 lions and hunt some birds... because your food source is running out. You go to bed again. Wake up, step outside. No birds, no cows, no boars and now, there are 20 lions and 20 wolves. 

Okay, you see the problem? One problem, no food. Which yes, in the description of the game it basically says, that if you hunt to much food in one spot, you’ll have to look further to get food. However... why isn’t it the same for the predators? They never go away... not to mention.. all those lions I end up killing and dying over, I get NOTHING from. They kill you in 3 hits and I get NOTHING??? It’d be nice to get meat and a pelt for hours and weapons spent on them. Not to mention the amount of kills the lions get on me. I think it’s fair to get food from everything. Just like real life (unless poisonous— which there are no poisonous animals in the game, so that doesn’t apply) 

More plant food sources would be cool. Like berries? The shrubs could be normal leaves from trees with poka-dots on them. Some can even be poisonous and make you more hungry, or puke or something.

### 5/5 — Do not diss on this game

*2023-10-03, version 1.29.25.0*

This was not a minecraft rip off back in the day this was a minecraft on steroids with way cooler things to do and I had lots of fun get it you will not regret it. Also if you go in creative and follow the ship it does not despawn

### 4/5 — Solid

*2023-09-11, version 1.29.25.0*

Superior to the second game pretty fun although sometimes frustrating and glitchy

### 3/5 — Pretty good one issue

*2023-02-27, version 1.29.25.0*

I’m not sure whether or not it’s supposed to be like this but the crafting spaces aren’t enough, like I’m trying to make a wooden pick axe but it requires 3 wood and 2 sticks but there aren’t enough blocks for it ….

And also, y’all don’t need to be so aggressive when suggesting things to the devs. Like it’s hella embarrassing reading these reviews when they’re literally talking in all caps 💀 like stop

### 5/5 — I love the game but I want a search bar

*2023-02-13, version 1.29.25.0*

So I enjoy the game I’ll play game I love the animals and the blocks I like the mechanics I love everything about it but whenever I wanted to make a certain build I would always want these things like a always on the search bar so I could search up any skin because sometimes I want a certain skin but I can’t find it I always did want skirts in the game to and I really hope that survival craft Sees this

### 3/5 — Could you add this

*2023-02-05*

So if you could add this to the second as well this would be great, so I was wondering if you could add coat patterns to the horses Like appaloosas,pintoloosas, paint and dapples to the horses and make them available in any colour, could you also add dark grey, light grey, brown and shiny palomino(cremello)
That would be great and if you could add breeding to that would probably get more downloads.

Advice for you, If you actually add requests like this you would get more downloads And better ratings.

### 5/5 — amazing

*2023-01-07, version 1.29.25.0*

2 words sums this perfect game up: childhood game. i loved this game to play before buying minecraft

### 5/5 — BLACK TAP

*2022-12-30, version 1.29.25.0*

A LARGE OMNIVORE MAMMAL, DANGEROUS.
WILL CHASE ANYTHING THAT APPROACHES IT.FAIRLY SLOW BUT POWERFUL. UNLIKE BROWN TAP, LIKE COLDER AREAS

### 1/5 — I lost my 2 year world.

*2026-03-30, version 1.29.25.0*

And better deleter protection

### 1/5 — Don’t buy this one buy the 2nd one

*2026-03-18, version 1.29.25.0*

I downloaded this game again after years, they came out with a 2nd one so this one barely works do not buy this one

### 1/5 — It’s too difficult

*2025-10-08, version 1.29.25.0*

I literally can’t hit the animals half the time, it doesn’t let me so they’re just beating me to death and I can’t fight back except for an occasional lucky punch. It also took me forever to even find any food at all. And on top of that I’m freezing. All of this is I’m "harmless" mode btw so I can’t imagine regular survival.

### 1/5 — This game is stupid

*2025-10-06, version 1.29.25.0*

It’s so stupid 
It’s a wanna be Minecraft 
I can’t run 
The game cliches 
And it’s hard to play

### 1/5 — Me equivoqué de juego

*2025-03-24, version 1.29.25.0*

### 1/5 — I NEED A REFUND!!!

*2024-05-27, version 1.29.25.0*

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2023-06-09, version 1.29.25.0*

SCAM

### 1/5 — Good I guess

*2022-04-20, version 1.29.25.0*

Its a good game but it is like impossible to even get your things at night with the stupid dogs and lions attacking you, and if they get into your house they don’t leave. It is very annoying.

### 1/5 — Unsupported should be removed

*2022-02-16, version 1.29.24.0*

This app should be removed from the App Store. The shareable content is unsupported all content on there are only compatible for survival craft 2. Great way to get more $$ I suppose. Don’t buy this app.

### 1/5 — Is this just me

*2021-12-15, version 1.29.24.0*

Every time it’s night a lion spawns right next to me and I find this real unfair since this game is practically a copy of Minecraft (a bad one)

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-07-19, version 1.29.25.0*

Been playing it for years I love it still, I like how it’s realstic like you can freeze or overheat to death and there’s bears,lions,whales,white tigers etc just endless list of animals and it’s more entertaining to me then Minecraft cause with me Minecraft has way too big cave systems everywhere and monsters that just make playing impossible half the time and is boring while Survivalcraft is always entertaining and I love the mystery like why is there so many graveyards/gravestones and werewolf’s only on full moons is super cool too 10/10

### 5/5 — Some of the best of times

*2025-11-01, version 1.29.25.0*

Boy was this game fun. I used to play it all the time on the bus as a child. Highly recommend it

### 5/5 — Grown up

*2025-03-25, version 1.29.25.0*

Finally started making my own money to where now I can play the official version of it

### 5/5 — Add controller support

*2024-08-29, version 1.29.25.0*

This game would be better with controller support.

### 5/5 — My cousin plays this

*2024-05-18, version 1.29.25.0*

My cousin has a disability he can’t learn fast and his mom won’t get him Minecraft so he plays this game this game has good content and quality

### 5/5 — O Jogo é muito bom

*2024-05-12*

Eu indico para quem gosta de minecraft e gostaria de uma experiência em um mundo completamente novo e com novas mecânicas

### 5/5 — Nostalgic..

*2024-05-02*

Omg i was playing this game on the phone of my dad when I was young 🥹 I’m so nostalgic

### 5/5 — 5 stars

*2024-04-10, version 1.29.25.0*

This game deserves way more support and good ratings. Yes, it may be a Minecraft clone, but unlike any others, it branches off into its own game. And I play this game to do just that! Also thanks for making my childhood great!

### 5/5 — Awesome Minecraft like game!

*2023-12-03, version 1.29.25.0*

This game is so cool that I even remember it! I remember downloading it because either I couldn’t play or had to buy Minecraft so I got this game and it’s awesome! I recommend it and also you should add events, updates, and servers! Yes, I know that Survivalcraft 2 has multiplayer but that would be so cool! Check out the game I recommend it!

### 5/5 — do you remember?

*2023-10-17, version 1.29.25.0*

the days back when you couldn’t afford minecraft as a child, so this is what you played. do you remember the times? do you feel the moments fleeting? you’re getting older and the world is changing. it will never be the same.
