### 5/5 — Amazing Survival Game

*2026-09-04*

I have played this game for years on Android and have been eagerly awaiting its release on iOS. The (individual!) developer is great at communicating with players and wanted to avoid unending micro transactions here, which is sincerely appreciated. 

Gameplay is legit challenging on the harder settings and the achievements to earn are plentiful for completion-ists. You also unlock more skills through achievements, as that is eventually the only way to raise your level. There’s tremendous replay value and incentive to even revisit the tutorial scenario. It looks like a simple game but don’t let that deceive you. So much work has gone into it and I look forward to trying to earn all my achievements again on my iPhone.

### 5/5 — Here from Android to your IPhone!

*2026-09-02*

Love it always. I’ve been part of the Google Beta for a while now. Sadly has to switch phones a few months ago and I can’t express how excited I am to see it here on the Apple Store at last. Great survival game with multiple scenarios and various types of challenges.

**Developer response:** Hey, thanks for being part of the beta and also now on iphone :) As always, all feedback is most welcome. I am working to get the next update out. Thanks for the review. Much appreciated.

### 5/5 — Nostalgia Returned!

*2026-09-01*

I played this game SO much up until I switched to my first iPhone, just to find out it wasn’t available on the App Store. I’ve been following the developer on discord/their website since, waiting for the iOS release. 

Not only is it just as nostalgic as before, they’ve improved it a lot since I’ve last played! New features and even a new scenario since. 

I’m really looking forward to the Stranded Isle update!

**Developer response:** Cool to hear! It took a while :D so thanks for the patience. Stranded Isle will be in the next update. 

I am tweaking some things and fixing certain UI layout issues and streamlining some parts (there’s the 1-3 star durability system that is bit complicated, so that gets removed and replaced with something simpler) and there’s bunch of new content coming. 

Blackwater Swamp map generation is also getting updates, the scenario can be sometimes too easy so I’ll make it more focused. 

Thanks for your support!

### 5/5 — Finally on iOS!

*2026-08-31*

I’ve kept an old android JUST to play this game and now I can finally play on my current devices. This game is so relaxing and engaging without being over-stimulating. When I want to relax and unwind this is the one!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for support and review. I’m working to get the next update out — will have STRANDED ISLE scenario!

### 5/5 — Genuinely Amazing

*2026-08-30*

So glad that we have a release for IOS after all these years.

Challenging, high quality, realistic, and great fun. Looking forward to seeing development continue!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the support and review! The next update is already being developed. A new scenario STRANDED ISLE will be there, and plenty of tweaks and fixes!

### 5/5 — My favorite game is back & better than ever

*2026-08-30*

I used to play this game all the time back in the day and played it until my surface tablet from 2016 wouldn’t turn on anymore. I’ve missed it since then and am elated it’s back. I’ve gotten the chance to play this new version and thus far it’s everything I remember and loved about the original version but with more! More options more travel more stories. Everything else is exactly the same which is precisely what I want. If you loved this game back in the day, download it. And if you’re new to this game, DOWNLOAD IT! This is such a fun, relaxing and engaging game. The crackling fire sounds are my favorite but truly all the audio makes this game part of what makes it so special.

**Developer response:** Hey thank you so much for the support. Game started as a small game jam prototype and has since grown quite a bit during these years. New update v890 coming next and will festure the STRANDED ISLE castaway scenario. If you have any feedback, good or bad please let me know :)

### 5/5 — Finally

*2026-08-30*

So glad it finally came to iOS

**Developer response:** Hey thanks for the review! Took forever but now it’s here and a new update in the works!
