What is a survival game on Android and iOS?
In a mobile survival game, your main objective is to survive in a hostile environment. This could be a post-apocalyptic world, a jungle, a spaceship or an ice desert, to name but a few.
It's also worth noting that survival games on Android and iOS can be single-player games, but also multiplayer or co-op games, as is the case with Among Us. In other words, there's something for everyone.
What are the characteristics of mobile survival games?
-
Limited resources: these are crucial for meeting basic needs (food, water, protection) and for making useful items. In Whiteout Survival or State of Survival, you need to manage the use of these resources efficiently to avoid running out and make progress.
-
Crafting: in Android and iOS survival games, you'll need to make tools, weapons, shelters and other items from the resources you collect. As you progress, better items to craft will be unlocked.
-
Managing vital needs: depending on the game, you'll have to manage either your own needs or those of your population. This notion is linked to good resource management.
We could have mentioned other mechanics such as exploration or the enemies of mobile survival games, zombies for example, which can make life difficult for you. And if you've had your fill of survival games, you can also try out management games on Android and iOS, which share some of the same mechanics.
