What Makes SURV: Idle Crafting Survival Stand Out
Judgement Day has finally come and the world will never be the same again. Civilization is on the brink of extinction.
But our hero survived! With no home, no weapons, and no pants. He will have to survive fighting mutants, monsters, zombies and other survivors. He will have to deal with all types of anomalies…
SURV is a new approach to the popular free-to-play Survival RPG games.
Craft the best gear
A ton of recipes. Collect resources and necessary objects, craft and upgrade your unique gear tuning, and make your hero one of a kind thanks to the variety of armour and weapons.
Bats, brass knuckles, reinforced armour, rucksacks, swords – find anything you need!
Upgrade your character
You will need to be the strongest to survive. Improve your health, upgrade your attack skills, speed and characteristics.
Never ending upgrades! Never stop perfecting yourself!
Post-apocalyptic adventure
Heaths are waiting for you, Stalker! Explore over 25 different locations that are full of adventure, danger and rare artifacts!
Fight for resources
Simple but engrossing battle structure. Fight mutants and other players in PvP mode. Become the strongest of survivors.
Become part of a squad
And be the most influential group among all! Clan events and worthy rewards are waiting for you!
No sleep!
Even if the game is closed your hero continues to survive. But don't let him sleep – nothing good will come of it!
As soon as you are back, you can get all of the collected resources.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
The games fun but like every minute theres an unskipable 30second ad.
This could be a fantastic game. But we just cant stay at it when there is a constant stream of forced ads shoved in our face every 3 minutes. Its annoying and makes the company look like theyre desperate for money.
The game itself is good if like to enjoy it but we get an add every 30 seconds it would seem.
Unbearable level of ad monetization. This is why the App Store is dying.
We dont care if its more efficient or its an idle game or whatever, there should be an option to keep our guy from doing whatever he wants the second Im not controlling him. Its so annoying, we just want to be able to play the game at our own pace rather than the game literally running off without us. We hate games that do this, and almost none of them have an option to prevent it. If there is an option, it needs to be more obvious.
Too many ads that you cant skip, literally 1 minute ad every 1 minute game time.
Ive been playing this game for a long time got 30+ in all the equipment. Sad to see the game die it is a good game, but with it not getting any updates or the light of day in an matter kills it.
Nothing but ads. Its fun as all get out but you spend more time in ads than actually playing the game. Better luck next time devs.
So its saying we have no wifi but we have full bars.we cant even play the game.
One star for any game that forces ads on you. We dont mind the option to watch ads for benefits but when its forced thats just bad.
We love this game we would give it an 5.
This game is fun and addictive but we cant help but notice how extremely hot our phone is from running this game. It makes us wonder if there is something happening behind the scenes like bitmining. Im not saying Im 100% sure but its odd. Also we find it weird that this game wants to know our location and usage data. Definitely selling our data.
This game is so different but its in a good way. You character runs around while you are watching him or upgrading him. He is a little man surviving and collecting resources. He fights off foes, zombies and others. This game is different from others but we highly recommend it to people who are trying to find a new game they will play for a while.
Great game, but please no forced ads like everyone else these days. Dont be like Voodoo.
Ads every 10 seconds kill this game for us. Id be glad to pay for an ad free game but not a monthly subscription.
Holy mother of ads. For every 1 minute of gameplay, we get 1 minute of ads. Its ridiculous how many unskippable 1 minute ads you threw into this game.. Yikes from us dude. Immediate uninstall.
This game is a trap! Every 15 seconds you get an ad and unless you want to pay a monthly subscription you will be stuck watching ads. We spent more time watching ads as playing that game. Poor reflection of the game that could be better if it wasnt for the constant ads.
This game has potential and would be fun to play but the amount of ads makes this game unplayable. 30 seconds of game time between unskippable ads. The only way to avoid ads is through a subscription. Very disappointing.
More advertisements than gameplay.
We just downloaded this game and we didnt even get to play it. At first it looked cool so we wanted to play it straight away but after clicking on the game it would load and come to a black screen with a low hmm screeching noise. And thats it. We kept reloading it and sometimes it would just crash the game back to our homescreen and sometimes it would just sit there in the pitch black making the noises. Didnt even get to play! Fix this.
This game claims to need an internet connection to play yet will force ads on you and not allow you to choose ads for a reward. If you guys werent trying to farm us as another number in ad revenue we wouldve still played and enjoyed it. It is so disappointing to see developers not care about their players and instead force ads for the dumbest reasons like exiting menus or even accessing supposedly free crates when in reality they will charge you for your time(ads). Hooked Inc had it right, they dont force ads but instead allow you to select when they are viewed and even reward you for your time. We did not download and attempt to play this game for ads, if we wanted ads we would watch tv, cut out the middle man(surv). We understand everybody has to make their money but that is not an excuse to make an ad simulator. This game was fun to play and its a shame that they force ads, im deleting the app but if they ever remove the ad revenue mining forced on users we will spend money on the app just out of appreciation.
Dont get this game. SOO MANY ADS. ITS NON STOP. This is ad simulator. If your gonna make a game and need money dont force people to watch ads. Everything else is pretty good. You cant play it offline either! Another problem. Would want to play on like road trips.
This cheap trash every second trying to sell something for real money and show advertising no less than every minute or couple in actions. And developers wants charge you 200$ per year just for removing this annoying and aggressive monetization. P.S. All 5* reviews just paid and dont relevant to real fillings from this game.
Trash game wait no not this game one of the best games ever made for iOS.
We like this game you can upgrad your armor and upgrad your cerctor and you fire monsters.
Very good game Oleg. Five star.
Not enough to do and squads are too hard to make.
It's a great game but we don't like the amount of adds and also the game sometimes doesn't register clicks.
There are way too many ads in this game. There is a subscription service to remove ads.
It wouldve worked out but the game gives us too much ads compared to how much interaction we can put in the game.
This is an overall ok game there are a couple things you could ad that would make it better. 1 if you could build stuff with the resources you gather that would be awesome. The other thing is that the game can get very boring, so try to ad more stuff to do. And the last thing is that there are way to many ads in this game please fix that.
Great game just too many ads like ads every few seconds.
This is overall a cool concept for a game and we think its very unique, however what we dont like is the fact that your game is virtually unplayable in any capacity due to the sheer volume of ads we are constantly being hit with.
WAY TO MANY ADS we get an ad after ever single thing we do we cant go more than 30 seconds without an ad however the game is really good just reduce the ads allow us to play for like 5 minutes before u give us an ad.
Cool game but its just another ad farm, and you cannot skip the long ads.
Maybe change the forced advertisements to be ads players initiate, and give a small bit of gold for watching the ads. Forcing the advertisements right in the players face is obscene and kills the game. Instant delete when that happens.
When you load into the game their will be a spin wheel thing you can do it every 2 minutes btw their is a 0 percent chance to get the next gear or 25 canteens.
Its very confusing and not very fun.
Way to many adds, every time we close a menu an add pops up.
We literally just downloaded the game and when we opened it, we got hit with adds. Before even finishing the tutorial!!!! If you love adds download this game.
Seems fun, but forced ads is an instant delete. There are ads you can watch for rewards, why is there also forced ads.
Love the game. Ads every 2 minutes is not how you keep a player base. Deleting because you spam ads and require internet connections… FOR AN IDLE GAME.
Forces ads every few minutes, way too often and the only way is to pay a subscription. Game seems fun but is ruined by ads.
Very nice game a lot of fun. However, its pay to win and if not you get an ad every other menu click. If you like a bunch of ads this game is for you.
Unplayable when you throw one at us every 30 seconds. Uninstalled.
This game has random ads that pop up without asking if you actually want to watch an ad and theres no bonus for sitting through it. Instant delete.
Ok to be honest when we go into the menu and and Im them go out of it ads pop up and it is really annoying because that is how you craft and it is also how you do everything. So when you go into the menu 30 sec ad is waiting for us and its stupid. And we do understand the is how you make money but it is just to much.
We get an ad every 20-30 seconds. Ive watched more ads than actually played the game. This shouldnt be allowed on here. We downloaded to play the game not watch unskippable ads.
So you craft weapons armor and storages and you walk around in paths and destroy monsters and bosses and gather matirials.
