Based on all the games and movies out there, we like to think that we'd do okay in terms of crisis, but maybe Survival Island is a good place to start. It presents the classic survival scenario of a lone person washing up on an island with nothing but a few tools. The harsh truth is that no one knows how long until help comes or even if it will ever come. This means that you'll need to make the most of your current situation and that means exploring the island and seeing what it has to offer. It will be a lot of work, but that's just how it is when you're surviving.

About Survival Island

Survival games always have you starting with almost nothing and then tossing you into a dangerous area that you have to resist with your ingenuity. This game has the area as a tropical island and you're trapped on it. All things considered, it could be much worse. The island is bountiful in all manner of life and resources, you just need to learn how to make best of all of them. It tests your patience and determination to work and toil at the same tasks over and over again so that you can actually grow.

How to Play

Survival Island is a 3D isometric survival game about a guy who washes up on an island and needs to survive with the mouse. To move the guy, hold down the Left Mouse Button on an empty part of the screen and then drag the cursor around to move the guy. When he approaches a resource or a crafting site, he will automatically interact with it. The goal is to survive, keep your guy fed, and keep harvesting to build up your shelter and facilities as much as you can. If you don't stay fed, then your guy will starve.

When you begin, you'll start on a random shore on the island. From there, you can start making your way to resources like trees and rocks. By mining and chopping, you can collect base materials which can then be put towards crafting tools and other facilities. Tools can be used to clear dense vegetation from parts of the island to allow for more resources and places to build. Other people are stranded on the island and should you rescue them, they'll automatically start contributing to your efforts.

By completing tasks and selling, you can earn coins. These can be used to buy upgrades that will improve how your survivor performs.

Tips and Tricks

You need patience to play this game as things will be slow-going at the start. Crafting will happen at different sites and you need to use all your downtime to get more resources. Upgrades will prove invaluable in making you more efficient so that you can do even more in far less time.
