Survivors is a fun Battle Royal inspired game. I guess it could potentially be pay-to-win, but I haven’t encountered that problem. It has a few too many bots, but that’s a problem many new games have. It has a few glitches,which I’m sure will be fixed with time. Most of all, you don’t have to spend money. If you are smart, you can unlock characters by grinding. Overall, it’s a good experience and I’m giving it 5 stars based on potential. Edit: Above was my initial review which requires editing. I gave the game a generous 5 stars based on potential. After all, I gave it that rating in season 1. The game needed time to grow, right? Well, season 2 came and they took a game that needed minor tweaking and they made it worse. The games has major glitches,which didn’t appear to be addressed at all in the patch update for season 2. Instead, they added more NPC characters like pirates and speeded the game up by having the poison cloud border go even faster. The game doesn’t function well when there is a lot of traffic(players, bots, NPCs, animals) in a small amount of area. So, they made sure there would be more traffic! Perfect. Examples of glitches are: The death trap known as Ward Labs. This building only has 1 entrance. So, in a game with a super fast poison border makes it not a good place to be, as you will find yourself trapped inside. No problems if you are an NPC. I’ve seen them go in or out, through the walls on several occasions. Sergeant Seung is a character with an effective lightning speed dashing katana slash special attack. If you play as Seung, you can dash through about 1 inch of IPAD screen distance in a flash, and 90% of the time, the move won’t glitch. If Seung is bot controlled, beware. Don’t let your guard down, even if there is a wall, rock, trees, mountain or whole ocean between you and Seung. If the game has decided bot controlled Seung is landing the attack on you, it’s landing. If there is 2 Seungs chasing you, better have one of those disappearing flash grenades. Oh, and hope the computer decides to pretend it can’t see you. You might survive if a Pirate or other bot suddenly pops up from a place they shouldn’t be, and gets in the middle. Speaking of Pirates, why would a game focused on being a Player vs player Battle Royal have such deadly NPCs? There is one that is especially deadly. This Pirate is usually by the sunken barges and is called Captain Jack Glitchow. He has knocked down 90% of my health with one attack,which means I’m struggling to run for my life and getting my health back. The hopes of getting healed, avoiding all the other bots,pirates and players, in order to win the game in the next 2 minutes are dashed. So, avoid Captain Jack Glitchow.
I have to knock this game down from 5 stars to 2 stars. Fix the game and I’ll fix my review.
