Survivalcraft Day One – Entertainment Game Review
Survivalcraft Day One is a Entertainment/Adventure/Action game from Igor Kalicinski, first launched in 23rd January 2016.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 595+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Survivalcraft Day One Stand Out
You are marooned on the shores of an infinite blocky world. Explore, mine resources, craft tools and weapons, make traps and grow plants. Tailor clothes and hunt animals for food and resources. Build a shelter to survive cold nights and share your worlds online. Ride horses, camels or donkeys and herd cattle to protect them from predators. Blast your way through the rock with explosives. Build complex electric devices. Possibilities are infinite in this long-running sandbox survival and construction game series.
This is the thirtieth release of Survivalcraft, and it adds a new armor and weapons tier – copper! You can now paint stairs, slab, fences and signs and place electric gates on the floor or ceiling. Wander in dense forests full of tall spruces and fallen logs. Explore bigger caves, but watch out for huge magma chambers underground (15x bigger than 1.28). There are new sound generator sounds for you to use, including hi-fi drums!
Survivalcraft brings features you love in the PC version of the most popular blocky game to your mobile device: infinite worlds, caves, logic elements (electricity), weather, boats, ridable animals, explosions, clothes, armor and many more. It does so while maintaining its own realistic, survival-themed style.
Enjoy!

Community Insight:
Ya know we love doing mods for Minecraft especially the gun mods and this musket was so fun only one day? Dont care its a sample.
This game is awesome and more realistic than Minecraft. You should add more mobs and never quit this and keep the game going! We played this when we were young and we LOVE IT! You deserve a lot of good reviews.
Much more scarier than Minecraft.
Ok we have a suggestion can yall add breeding for the animals ? Thats would make the game even more realistic like the white tigers could breed with another white tiger or a regular one that way the world has more animals.
It is a good game but our mom will pay for it for us we dont wanna dont really like cause we dont have all this.
We played the game when we were little and we remember loving it everything about this game is amazing 10/10 game of the year.
Very Good Game: It Is Very Realistic.
We used to play this game when we were younger no ones probably gonna read this but we loved it a lot we never played Minecraft always wanted to but couldnt afford it so we got this and we love it sm definitely made us happy as a kid and we still enjoy it now.
This is the best game ever recommend for 9+.
This game is available on pc and even the full version we played with our sister back in 2019 We had the full version. It allows us to use different body and a lot of maps and lots of block we still have it we have the full version.
Please make the audio really here cause we cant hear nothing please fix the game. We cannot hear anything. We try fixing the audio. We tried loading up our volume. It does not work when we play the game. It does not work. We think needs an update. Please update this game. We cannot hear.
Great game and all but we just started getting used to the controls. We understand that it said day one but it just does not make sense.
The game is good but wayyy too hard and the actual game costs 3.99 which is a lot for a fake minecraft game.
Crafting is a big part of the game. When you struggle to craft it becomes devious annoying. But this game is good.
OK so this game is fun really fun to us but it only lets you play for one day and it will say like would you like to leave this world or pay 3.99 to keep going and if youre building it gets really annoying because you have to restart every single day.
We like the game itself because you have customizable caracters and and all the worlds are free, but you can only have one day in each world (as said in the title) and if you build something big you cant ever go back to it. Its really annoying because the game is so fun but we cant buy the full version.
We were making some epic build and they were rlly good but THEN THE STUPID DAY WAS UP sure it's called survival craft day one but we thought it wouldn't delete your world, we thought it would just be day for 10 min and night for 10 min and after that day forever. GET THE REAL MINECRAFT INSTEAD.
Finally found this game again. We grew up on this game before we could afford a gaming console or Minecraft. Now that we found this game again we are happy to play it. We solute this game.
Ive got this pay what is three dollars no we only got $40.00 a month because we know in 30 minutes ago. We just sent a post from 100 sides.
When we firsy saw this we thought it was gonna be like a bootleg minecraft ripoff but we loved it instead this game is awesome the creators actually put time and effort in it good job.
Yall really not getting this its just to show what the game is about so you know what your paying for -.- its just that! Its free what would you expect.. Also its not a rip-off of Minecraft when it only came out a month later than Minecraft and that was when it wasnt even popular yet. You guys really need to use your brains and do so research instead of wasting your time saying random stuff on a review. But anyways much love to the creators.
We love the game we dealeted it a bit ago but we didnt know then Im so excited that we have the game again.
We want to have enough time to do whatever we want, but if we want that we have to pay 4 bucks, we LOVE this game but please make it free.
Mk so maybe you can put for like 2-7 days please. So it would sound fair.
So, this was kind of a Minecraft rip-off. But we actually really enjoyed this game! Both Survivalcraft games were really neat. But why does the full version cost $3.99? We understand this was a demo to lead players into the game, but what if someone really enjoyed the demo, and wanted to see more? Well, they couldnt, cause the full game is $3.99! Still though, its probably worth your money. Also, there are some aspects we think you could add into the game: – So far, the only supernatural monster is a werewolf. And while thats pretty cool, we think the game could some more monsters, like skeletons or vampires, or something along that line. – Why are those sailors leaving you on the island for good? We didnt quite understand that part. Honestly, we think it would be cool if there were more of a story behind that. (Like, maybe you committed a crime and then the sailors had to exile you on a far-off island) – Maybe you could add villages dotted around the island, so that there are others that you can trade with and interact with. These are a few of our ideas; but overall the game is fun. Keep it up Candy Rufus.
Game cost 3.99$ to play creative to survive and we dont like that.
The game is good but we cant make a pic we have to be in creative mode.
We kind of like this game but the thing is that never changes like is the same. But is fun but also Why is the full version is 3.99? They are literally the same. But actually is a Fun game because you can do a lot of things.
Lo malo esque despus ah que pagar y no us gusta.
IF YOU WANT PEOPLE TO DOWNLOAD THE FULL VERSION YOU SHOULD MAKE IT FREE SO MORE PEOPLE CAN PLAY IT IS NOT FAIR TOO KIDS WHO WANT THE FULL VERSION THAT CANT AFORD IT CANT PLAY BECAUSE YOU PUT A PRICE ON THE GAME SO GET YOUR BUT UP AND MAKE THE FULL VERSION FREE SO KIDS WHO CANT AFORD IT NOW CAN GET IT SO MAKE THE FULL VERSION FREE NOW.
Right when we spawned in a world we saw the shop and they dropped us off, but when we spawned we got attacked our 4 bulls (we were on harmless) and they have infinite health! We were punching 1 for 4 minutes and it never died. Guess what happened when we went into another world? More bulls. This is so stupid and you should fox this. P.s. You will never be as fun and good as Minecraft.
This game is basically Minecraft. There is a version where you can play the game and not just for one day but it costs money. Its pretty stupid to buy a game and only play for one in game day.
We could only play the same server for like 5 minutes it was really annoying we dont really recommend this app.
We had purchased this game back in december 2019 & recently on august we updated to a new iPhone Im just now using the game open it & im playing IT STOPS ME & TELLS ME TO PAY FOR THE GAME. This is ridiculous we had already paid & all of our info & iCloud was passed to this phone how come youre making us pay again.
Why do we have one day to survive thats really annoying.
Was expecting this to be cheap like 0.99 or 1.99. Not 3.99!!!! If ur looking for a Minecraft like game, just get Minecraft. Its almost the same price as this one on mobile AND not a fan game, so to speak.
This is stupid and dumb Im mad at how often you die from anything and its one day and its a rip off of Minecraft.
Most animals can kill you in about 5 hits and its so hard to kill them! Also if you survive 1 day in creative or survival you have to pay 3.99 to keep playing in that world! We dont recommend this game at all.
This is terrible cause These people say HEy! WE CaN maKe MINecRAft COpY! And they didnt even try to hide it. ITS IN THE NAME! SERIOUSLY DEVELOPERS OF THIS GAME ARE STUPID.
Ok for all the bad reviews out there if you were expecting the full game is literally says 'day one', in other words it means you're surviving one day. Don't expect it to be long because it only says day one idiots. And the creators probably made the original game cost money because there's no ads or anything to buy, well at least not that we know of, and they want to make money off of their games somehow. Be grateful they at least made a demo version, even if its only one day.
This game is a game make more of em ay.
Hey since we played survival craft back in the old days, we really hated it because we hate minecraft rip-offs. But when we started playing this for free in ios, [we used tutuapp to download but it has limited days so ya] we also watched your vids. But then we realized, man, this is the greatest game! But one day, we had to verify the app alot. So when we verified it, it eon't really verify. So please, if you're reading this, we just hope you made a free and full version of survival craft 2. Everytime it won't verify, we had to delete and install, and delete, and install and.. Forever and ever till' 2019. So if you see this, please please make survival craft 3 free!!! Because alot of people wanted to see alot! Only some of us raged because we waste money sometimes.. Just please do it.
This game is amazing! Keep it up! We will love this game.
This is a Demo. Its a huge favor that they let you play 1 day to see if you like it. Unlike Minecraft that you have to pay for on Phones and tablets. Also this app has more things and plus a cheaper price compared to Minecraft PE! And we Hope that the developers will add more stuff. Like more trees, stones, ores, woods, biomes, mobs, texture packs, etc. In future updates.
We can afford the full version but we'll spend all our money we really want it. Please make things better for this world and make it free :( thank you for reading.
We like survival craft day one because it lets us in the game it has wires and other electronics it also have some electric wire blocks and lets us play in single player also it have 2 signs,2 opening doors, the iron door opens better in survival craft day one, not Minecraft. It also have blocks.
This is a great preview of the full version.
Yeah Mkk They say survivalcraft is a rip-off of Minecraft MINECRAFT IS MONEY TO PLUS SURVIVECRAFT IS LESS MONEY THAN MINECRAFT DUH.
We don't get it on survival craft we've seen a white bull and a white tiger but there's no sprawer eggs for those two pretty cool to see them though.
We always in wrong remove the game but today Ill be careful we had it from 3 years ago so we wish u add a multiplayer mode PLS pls plz we want pls that will give u more ppl download it so pls add multi mode and more skins and u make ur own skin and also time the cat (Tame the cat,dog any animal the cat fish dog meat or bone or the both cause if u havent a bone u can tame it with meat So pls.
