One of the most unique games on the app store. – Survival Island 1&2 Review

When I first played through this game I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and now that the developers added a whole new stage (basically a sequel), I’m having a good time playing again. The way you have to solve puzzles in order to progress in a survival game is an interesting idea that works well in this app, and despite the game’s easy controls, it is certainly not a walk in the park. This game is quite challenging at times, but every problem can be solved with some brainwork or waiting. And this is the only downside to the game: you have to wait to unlock crafting recipes. In order to craft something, you need to insert a certain amount of materials into the study section of that item and wait a long time for it to finally finish; unfortunately, you often need to study items multiple times, because the more incorrect materials you study it with, the longer it will take. In the beginning of the game this isn’t a problem, as most items take seconds or minutes to learn, but when you near the end-game, object like houses and fully upgraded tools take literal hours to complete. However, if you only play this game casually, then there is hardly an issue with this system. Play the game, start studying an item, go to bed, wake up the next day, and there you have it! All in all, I think the pros outweigh the cons for this game, and seeing as it’s free to download, I would highly recommend you try it out for yourself; you probably won’t be disappointed.
