What Makes Desert Skies Sandbox Survival Stand Out
Go to survive in the Air! Build a sand Airship and start journey with mobile Desert Skies – Sandbox Survival! Land and collect loot anywhere in the Wild Desert, but be careful, the desert is full of dangerous monsters.
The game will take you to the distant 1890s of young America.
During the period of the Wild West, a catastrophe happened – terrible sand monsters began to attack the villages and destroy everything that they encountered in their way – people, animals.. Rumor has it that they were released during excavations at the mines, none of the workers survived at that moment.
People saving their lives fled, taking away only the necessities, throwing all their belongings, and also hiding valuables and gold in hiding places. Many western states are empty.
A former criminal named David Green had nowhere to run, he had no one left. All his loved ones died from the teeth of terrible monsters.
The young man decided to atone for the sins of the past – he intends to save humanity from disaster, to catch and destroy monsters that keep half the planet in fear. Become a monster hunter.
You have to help him in this difficult task. You will have to master the skill of creating objects from improvised materials, study maps and terrain, look for hidden treasures, fight off terrible enemies, discover new interesting places and settlements.
UNUSUAL CRAFT
- For movement, create and use a huge air.
- Craft a variety of items and weapons to survive in a predatory deadly empty.
- Remember – your ship is your fortress, improve and strengthen it.
RESEARCHES
- Fly and seek out treasure and dangers.
- In abandoned villages, people left many hiding places with treasures and weapons.
BATTLES
- As soon as you descend to earth, terrible monsters will feel you and rush straight to you, do not hesitate!
- Do everything quickly but quietly. They all feel and are looking for you. Fly faster and fly to another place of desert sands!
SEARCH AND COLLECTION OF RESOURCES
- Remember, the desert send is not only a red dead, but many more resources for survival. Collect them to survive and win. This is element games.
You will find a grand battle in a huge, beautiful open world, you have to fight for survival, to save villages and people from mortal danger. You are the only survivor, it depends on you whether humanity will survive!
Desert Skies is a completely new float on air game – the all-new terrifying single player story in the popular flying games RPG genre. Playing float survival base building games has become much more interesting!
Remember, beings sense your fear and hear your steps.

Community Insight:
Ive been trying to find multiplayer for a long time. How do you do it.
We wish that game showed a video or photos of what happened so we could understand whats going on.
Started today, having a blast so far. Only issue Im seeming to have is removing half walls or anything Ive placed on our base. Am we missing something? Feedback would be greatly appreciated Other than that, seems like a super fun game.
This game is really fun but there was a just one problem there is so many ads and its really annoying.
So are you download one of your other games and we didnt need subscription but now Im seeing other peoples request and they say we need a subscription, so how do we even play the game? Just wanna know respond.
This game has absolutely amazing and we mean amazing gameplay but the adds every time you try to do something you get stoped by a add.
Because its not loading so we cant play it.
Adds adds adds adds adds adds adds adds adds but other than the adds ok game but just a copy of raft but still ok game.
Unplayable with all the adds. Open a chest? Ad. Kill an enemy? Ad. Eat something? Ad. Open slot on chest? Ad. Slot on bag? Ad. Slot on factory? Ad. Each ad is 30 seconds. Sometimes you must sit through two consecutive ads. Uninstalled.
If this was a PC Id pay but not for a mobile game and Im not signing up for a 3- day trial.
It is literally just the logo we cant even play the game.
We start the game and it just stays on the white playdarium screen and. Doesnt do anything just sits there and we deleted and reinstalled and it doesnt fix the problem.
We bought the subscription today and now our whole menu screen bugs out every time we do anything that activates our inventory. The screen basically freezes and we cant do anything. We havent been able to get the rewards for our leveling. Can we get assistance.
What do you know!! STILL LOADING… Does not work, just stuck on loading screen. Bummer.
Ive had this game on our phone for a week. Ive played it once bc it would not open. When it did it would kick us out. We played it for 10 min and got 1 ad every 30 seconds. Terrible.
The game wont turn on it would stay in the loading screen and we cant play even tho we played the game on our other phone a year ago so we dont know why it wont let us play.
Do you think we just have seven dollars laying around youMight as well Desert Skies is there a Desert Skies sandbox because if you think Im going to pay seven dollars you got something messed up.
We download the game, see. But when we open the game it just shows a white screen with words! We cant even play the game.
We have been on the playdrium screen for like five minutes and Im stuck on that screen so we cant rate it.
This game is horribly unplayable because of all the video ads.
This game needs major additions we dont completely understand why you get a little further in the game and it makes you watch adds to open chests and get more adds every time you enter or exit something.
This game doesnt have any thrill to it and is just the same thing over and over but thats just us and Ive only played for like 2 hours and so far it was ok at the beginning but now it just lost interest. To make the game better maybe add more monsters and a better story line. And add more things to craft.
(Just saying, at the time Im not that far in the game) So far the game seems really good, but Ive found only a couple things. Firstly, (and the MOST ANNOYING) the height of the camera is so bad, like, the camera is too low that you cant see out of the window standing! You have to jump! PLEASE fix this! Secondly, there seems to be no sound. Although this could just be our own problem, its annoying because Im CONSTANTLY looking at the sound to make sure the Searcher or whatever isnt after us. Also please make the sound a little less sensitive. We know Im being a little picky and you can just defeat it but like walking shouldnt set off much sound. We have a suggestion for the sound system. Basically the sound would, instead of just popping up as one sound wave to two, it would fade in so you can predict how long you have before the Searcher comes. Thirdly, we know this is nice for ME but we would like to point out that the doors cant be opened by the Searcher. Realistically, it would probably either smash the door down, break a hole in it, or smash through any available windows. But overall the game is fine. Just PLEASE fix the windows being higher than the camera. To us that tiny thing is soooooo annoying. Fix that window thing and it would be . GG overall.
Thank you for your reply at this time we have deleted the Game but we are asking you to make it accessible to blind people because we want to play it with our blind mom so can you you make it accessible please.
The game is just the computer version but very scuffed.
Low life losses , you can only play survival mode unless you pay 7.99 for the sandbox mode . So instead of them actually making you pay for the game to get it they did that so you download it and have to pay.
This game is rlly fun it might not be the best game but honestly its very different.
When we build on our raft for an example we made some stairs but found out the stairs were to big for our raft but we cant put them back into our inventory its kinda annoying because now we have this big staircase on our raft please respond to our reveiew and fix it.
We like the game a lot but we encountered a huge bug sometimes the quests dont complete so you cant continue the story.
All you have to do to play the game is go out completely remember the name of this game is super fun.
The game(Desert Skies) is kinda scary when you get caught and getting chased gives us like scared like Im going to loose all our progress.
Ads,so many ads! Free sandbox mode for 10$ a week please calm down.
We love this game but it would be much better if we had controller support.
We like it but after a little bit it got boring all we saw were Beatlesno Monster. But besides that its very fun. You have a really good game.
Great game well put together but getting a ad every minute is annoying, great game though.
This game looks pretty fun, however we seem to be stuck on the first mission in survival. We are tasked with retrieving a hat and note from a chest. We have them both, but mission is still unchecked and not allowing us to progress in the game. Is it the game or did we miss something? Any help would be appreciated.
It needs an online mode, with id and Avery thing. If you guys add online survival mode where you create your own account. Then we will invest on your game. Also add more guns and creatures.
Theres too many ads usually when we open our inventory ads just keep popping up. Other than that its has potential.
We got the hat and note from the chest but it wont complete the quest and we have tried to restart the game and the same thing happened.
We want to play but the app immediately crashes the second you open it.
This is a cheap nock off of the game desert skies it is so similar in so many ways if u want to play the real game we would look elsewhere.
Looked pretty interesting and it was free but then asking us to pay 7 bucks a week nah Im cool chief.
We opened up the game app only to discover that there would be a price after 3 days and yet unless Im blind it doesnt mention that anywhere in the description of the game so this is misleading and should be made clear before anyone downloads it.
We hate it when theres a game in our ads.
They try to get you to pay 7 dollars a month for a game that doesnt work lol. When you first get in it will tell you to interact with things and when you try to you cant literally nothing about this game works except the infinite adds every other minute.
We cant even play it, how am we supposed to rate it.
For some reason it only stays on the main screen. We cant seem to get pass that. Hopefully it can be fixed.
Im not sure why but it takes either FOREVER to load or it just doesnt. The one time we got into the game we got to the take the hat and note part. We got the hat and note. Couldnt do anything with the note AND the quest didnt complete. So all in all this is an interesting idea for a game but it doesnt work.
Couldnt even load into the game. Wasted 3 minutes where we couldve done something productive but we decided to try this.
