There’s a mobile game that’s taking the gaming community by storm: it’s called Survivor.io and it’s developed by Habby. It’s completely free to download, but it’s so new that despite its success, many people haven’t even heard of it yet. However, those who download it quickly get sucked in because it’s just so addictive. We’ll explain what it’s all about and how to download it.

What is Survivor.io?

Survivor.io is a survival and action game where you play a character who has to face waves of zombies. You’ll start out with basic weapons and move slowly, which is actually useful given the low number of enemies at the beginning. However, as you level up, more and more zombies will begin to show up, including some that are bigger and more powerful. Luckily, you’ll also get better weapons as you go to help you deal with them.

How to play Survivor.io

The gameplay in Survivor.io is very simple, which is actually what makes it extremely addicting: at the bottom of the vertical screen, you’ll find a virtual joystick that you’ll use to move your character around. All you have to worry about is moving around, since your character attacks automatically. At the top of the screen, you’ll see an experience bar that will fill up as you defeat the zombie hordes, allowing you to unlock and improve abilities automatically.

Is Survivor.io just a clone of Vampire Survivors?

This automatic gameplay style that involves dodging hordes of enemies while improving your character’s skills has a very popular counterpart: Vampire Survivors. Before it came out on smartphones, a lot of clones began appearing that imitated this addictive format. In the case of Survivors.io, it’s worth pointing out that there are some key differences (like updated graphics, a smaller setting and unique abilities), although it’s clearly a very similar game.

Is Survivor.io free?

Yes, Survivor.io is a completely free game. You won’t have to pay anything to download and install it on your phone, although, as usual, there are still a few ways it attempts to monetize its development. In this case, you’ll see ads scattered throughout the game and you’ll even be able to watch ads to get rewards like coins that you can use to improve your character’s weapons.
