Don’t let its cute drawing style confuse you— Survivor.io is a challenging game. We will be trapped on more than one occasion in this famous action and survival title for mobile devices developed by Habby with its many hided tricks— details easy not to notice if we do not know some basic tips to survive as much as possible.
What is Survivor.io?
Survivor.io is a mobile action game. This singleplayer challenges us to survive hordes of zombies while our character attacks automatically depending on the skills we have been getting during the game. We just have to move to prevent them from taking our lives. There are also more game modes, upgrades to unlock, challenges…
Basic tips for success on Survivor.io
If you are tired of being eaten by the zombie horde as soon as you start the game, here are 6 basic tips for surviving longer and reaching new records in the game:
Always keep moving
The main key to Survivor.io is never to stop. The protagonist will automatically shoot and attack enemies, so your mission is to keep him constantly on the move so that you never get cornered completely. Sometimes it’s tempting to stand still in one place and let the area damage skills do all the work, but that can work against you —especially when stronger enemies or final bosses appear—.
Learn how to herd the zombie hordes
Another tip is to learn how to get the hordes of enemies to where you want them to go. Take advantage of the fact that the artificial intelligence of the zombies in Survivor.io is quite basic —they simply follow you in a straight line— to keep them away from coins, gems, and chests that interest you in taking. Never go for this type of improvements when enemies surround them— first, you must lure them to another area so that the one you are interested in remains clear.
Adapt your style of play
In each game of Survivor.io, you can unlock random upgrades and get temporary bonuses that depend on what you get. The ideal in this sense is that you learn to improvise— if you have more area damage skills, you will play differently than if you have more direct attacks. We also recommend that you try all the weapons before choosing a favorite for your games to find the one that best suits your style.
Get permanent improvements
On the other hand, remember that in the main menu, you can get permanent upgrades both for the weapons you unlock in each game —thus improving their performance, which will be very useful— and for your character’s own skills— you will be able to have better resistance, greater speed, and more attack damage. You will unlock this by reinvesting the coins earned in games, events, and challenges or watching ads.
Try not to lose life
It may seem like a very obvious tip, but one of the keys in Survivor.io is to try to keep our character from taking damage. In other similar games, it is possible to heal by eating, and although here there is also that possibility, the amount of resources available is much more limited. Therefore, if you play in a very risky way, your game may only last for a while. Any lost life point will not return, so we recommend you play cautiously.
Perform challenges to earn rewards
Finally, we recommend you look at the challenge section of the main menu. Playing traditional Survivor.io games is fine, but if you want to improve, you should ideally jump into these modes that challenge you to survive in other settings with changed conditions. They may be more difficult than the standard modes, but the rewards are usually worth it because they help to improve the character and thus win more normal games.
