What Makes Radiation Island Stand Out
Radiation Island is a survival adventure game where you craft your own destiny in a huge open world environment. As part of the Philadelphia Experiment you have become stranded in a parallel, alternate reality. Discover this new and mysterious world, with all its surprises. Use everything you find to survive it and solve its puzzle to get back to the real world.
Follow your own path in an environment of breathtaking beauty and gigantic scope. Explore huge forests inhabited by dangerous wolves, bears and mountain lions. Investigate abandoned villages and old military compounds where zombies guard vital tools, weapons and clues to the secrets of this world. You can even swim and dive, if you can avoid the hungry crocodiles.
Hunt wild animals, fish or gather fruits to overcome hunger. Mine for resources and craft weapons, tools and basic vehicles. Find hidden treasures, equipment and fire arms to prevail in a world full of perils: radiation, anomalies, harsh weather and enraged zombies.
Experience the full day-night cycle and face the dangers of darkness and cold.
Survive and beat the game to unlock multiplayer mode: fight other real players online in a closed arena for valuable resources.

Community Insight:
Really enjoying the game! We downloaded it to fill the void while we wait for the Radiation City glitches to be fixed, and we ended up liking it better. The graphics are amazing (iPhone 7 Plus), and the storyline is great! We like that you can store and build the items that you need. Just wish it was longer! Ive almost beat it now and we dont want it to end.
Whenever we try to load a different profile, the game crashes. Can you try to get rid of this bug/glitch.
Please fix this the update glitched the dpad on the controls. Its far too far to the right please fix and when its foggy outside the sky is very pixelated and yellow please fix this is really making us not like the game.
Now Atypical Games needs to really focus on updating RADIATION CITY. PLEASE!!? Amazing. We were in desperate need of this on our iPhone. Now, get rid of the huge 'hand' icons on everything, and instead give pickups a light pulsing glow. This would be more lore-friendly, less rinky-dink childish looking. Polish the animations. If we're wielding an ax, we want to actually be swinging it–HARD. Something like grenades or mines would help to get rid of enemy mobs coming at you…and would greatly add to the fun and strategy of the combat.
This game was a blast until about 1/2 way through when repeated crashes prevented us from going further. We see many of the reviewers had the same experience.
Love this game and wanted to start over. We decided to deleted and now we can't even download at all? Any help.
Radiation Island is still better than City, Radiation City lacks many of the core survival aspects of Radiation Island.
IF YOU COULD ONLY HAVE FRIENDS TO CO-OP WITH, OVERALL AMAZING GAME.
Most survival games are only worth playing for a minute or 2, but this game is super fun as an island survival game with zombies, rabbits, Bears, lions, and sheep, with 3 different kinds of zombies. The game has an objective unlike other games and you will actually wound up playing this game. All the other games like tarraria and Minecraft(which we dont play ever) are all pixelated and dont look good but this game has the best graphics u will ever see in a game in App Store.The best part is the islands get harder and harder and u can hunt fish and travel to other islands with machine guns, rifles, and pistols. Now the game isnt hard to get good at but it takes time to complete but if u are reading this rn, there is no other survival game(besides their new game Radiation City) that will beat this and its only a dollar so get it now.
We love this game so much! We would give this 6 stars if there was one.
Every thing about this game is awesome, the graphics, the story, the crafting, the idea, everything.
We love this game and every thing but. When will it have a update again and we feel like the deva have given up on this game common guys!?! Same problem the game crashes or when we log off it deletes all our stuff fix it and why do you put comments out on rad city and not this.
Would be a 5 of 5 all day. Except games crashes and you lose all your stuff. That is horrible and should have been addressed by the devs after they saw the first 30 people complain about it… Ugh Edit: gave it more stars since it only happened once. Game has us hooked really well done.
Best game ever we can believe we spent 3 bucks on that.
Using an iPad Pro and ios11. Second time its crashed and we loose ALL saved items and progress. Dont get this until its fixed.
A potentially fun game that does not offer the player inverted aim (it is 2017…) and controller support.
IPad air2….none of the issues others have reported. Love the gameplay. Wish the other islands were harder or had different challenges. Sad that it's over…..radiation island 2? Save often.
We love this game, but the inventory glitch has to be fixed, we've tried to beat this game three times, but always lose our inventory. Still, this game is a ton of fun.
Porfavor mejrenlo tiene buen potencial lo llevo jugando desde que sali.
We wish it had better graphics and took up less space.
Great game! But very disappointed as it always felt like there was nothing new ever added :P also the fact that even though they never finished it they continued on to make a sequel, let's just hope you finish radiation city before you move on to your next app.
We've never written a review before but this was bad. After playing on and off for a couple weeks our entire inventory got wiped. Backpack, chests, everything. Unacceptable. Deleted.
Fun game but if this glitch isn't fixed no one should buy it.
We really wanna buy RADIATION CITY on our iPad 3 generation but please make it work on that device because we can't buy it unless it works and supports that device.
Traveling on land is super slow give us a car. We know that radiation makes the vehicles explode, perhaps adding radiation suits as an "extra layer" of protection on the vehicle can stop it from exploding? Idk our opinion. Would be awesome if there were vehicles -Tommy.
Great game but there's a problem with something… So we're playing in creative mode, just to experience the story, but we keep inputting the right code into a tesla tower, only for it to be rejected, please fix.
Holy crap this is like dead trigger2 (A.K.A the best zombie game on all mobile devices) this is the best survival game on the iPad in our opinion and its not like this crappy game called "ocean is home" this game is super duper fun you must try it out.
We love him so much it's just like seven days to die but better.
It's 2017 and the last updates were in 2015 2 years ago when's the new updates and could you add planes (not like the glide planes) like metal planes to go farther and you need to get oil to make fuel and have to make a runway to take off from like if you could add dash 8's and Boeing 737's not Boeing 747's too big lol it would take ages just to make the runway and to fuel it and to get the iron or other metals to make the plane and custom planes where you can make any plane you can think of and you should build bombs so you can get like a b-17 and drop bombs on places to kill zombies. And make the landing gear work like they do in real life (change them every 15 flights about depending.on the aircraft) this took us like 10 minutes to write so we hope you can add (when 10 minutes of typing is nothing compared to hours of code just to make a simple aircraft engine or landing gear or adding oil and fuel to the game lol) (typing vs coding for taking longer CODING WINS BY ALOT) we hope you add planes and we hope you have a nice day :).
Yes we haven't made it to the multiplayer access we found our cousin playing this and he told us about the game then he tells us u have to beat the game to play multiplayer and we were like what plz make it to where u can play multiplayer anytime.
Fun but frustrating game good graphics.
An easy craft item this is so good, never bored, and more mystery to find about story. Impressive game you got Five star rate.
This game has come so far, we got this game in 2015 and loved the heck out of it, we currently don't have it now but seriously, this game is worth it.
We love this game but would you please make vehicles like jeeps and stuff drivable and add an expansion like maybe a modern day version where you get sucked in again and if your on easy mode please make multiplayer for easy mode.
Why hasn't this game been updated or reworked into another version. Cmon developers, get on it. You already have a great game, just add to it. We just played it again from start to finish…needs updates! Update to our 1st review: This game just got better all the way until the end. We can play it for hours! It definitely could use a few things – more gun variations, a vehicle? – and the ending was a little disappointing but it's an absolute must-have game. We're so mad that we finished it. Now what am we going to do with our time?! Also, this game will scare the crap out of you! We can't tell you how many times we've gotten serious goosebumps when those fast crawling zombies come out of nowhere or the sun sets & there are zombies everywhere & you can't zap out of there. Always have a few torches in your kit. Night comes on fast!! All around great game. 1st review: we bought the game last night and haven't stopped playing for about 7 hours so far. Completely worth the price, it's actually cheap for how much game you get. We would recommend this game to anyone looking to burn a lot of hours. All around great iOS/iPad game.
Such a good game, but forgotten by the developers.
This is one of our favorite games as of late and was sad to see it come to an end! Best FPS adventure game we've played in a while. Hours and hours of fun.
This game is amazing but it needs multiplayer that's it other than that it's a great game all around.
Seems like a low budget creation but still quite fun. We don't recommend accumulating a bunch of supplies because when it crashes, you lose it. We'd buy and play a second part if it came out.
They can't add planes and cars to the game since the telsa towers and generators will destroy them.
We played Zelda as a kid and became hooked on Open World or RPG games. Fallout, Boarderlands, Skyrim etc. If you're a gamer who is into those kind of games this IPad game will surprise you. We were expecting the great quality when in-turn the game is just as fun as our console games. Now if only Apple could make the iPad more ergonomic for gamers or have wireless controllers for games.
This game is great. We don't write good reviews. And a bit scary.
This game was fun. Before we got Xbox this is all we played we got everything and we built a huge base. All this game needs now is an update and new things added it got Birmingham after a while. But it definitely deserves a 4-5 star.
This is a one of a kind game we don't even know how you awesome atypical guys could do such a masterpiece it's amazing we've always been trying to find a game like this and we did and our favorite game creating studios atypical made it so thank you, you awesome guys.
When we saw the game we were so happy :D so we got it.it was so easy and did not find much zombies but GET IT ITS EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :).
Radiation island is great but it would be greater if it had command like commands you developers use for example:flying spawning enemies spawning items just your usual stuff.by the way in the middle island there is a giant zombie like 20 x times the size of us dk if that's normal.if you can add a ending boss like a zombie general or a robot or maybe a zombie mastermind that made those towers. Bye great game.
This game is so addicting and it's good for how much they charge u.
They should make this a PC game if it isn't already.
Update the thing for iPhone 7plus and new stuff.
The game is awesome and doesn't lag on our iPhone 6s. However, you guys should add multiplayer.
