Survival games are wildly popular as it forces the player to imagine reality bearing no semblance to the present. Survival games are all about surviving by any means necessary, be it fighting other players or taking drastic actions. In this guide, we’ll be looking at the top 15 survival games on Roblox and what catastrophe befalls the player in each of them. Without further ado, let’s jump in.
Survival Island 2
Players find themselves waking on a deserted island and they have to survive long enough for somebody to rescue them. Survival Island 2 forces the players to come up with primitive technology to increase their chances of being rescued and seeing civilization again.
Sporting similar game mechanics to Minecraft, the game forces the player to evolve by creating tools such as picks, axes, and boats. All these tools help players to increase the duration of survival. The game keeps adding more things to accomplish and players can either change or choose to perish. This guide strongly believes in the latter.
Survival Island
The main objective of this game is to survive as long as possible. The Island is full of danger, from disasters, and monsters who try and take you down. To survive, players have to mine deep in the ores and build structures that can halt monsters and natural disasters. Players have to compete to find valuable but scarce resources, while simultaneously battling enemies.
Survival Island is best played by planning out a strategy and teaming up with other players. Players have to eat and drink every once in a while. With the dawn of every new day, players have to be adaptable as there’s something new to face every day.
State of Anarchy
In a world consumed by anarchy, it’s every man for himself. Players spawn on a random map, selected from a pool of several maps. Players can either team up with other players and risk being betrayed or left for dead. Or they can take matters into their own hands as the loot and resources are limited.
Similar to your predicament, there are various other players roaming the map. Players are equipped with rifles and guns and they are free to choose how they act. No rules mean that players don’t have to play by them either.
Booga Booga
One of the better survival games, Booga Booga is a renowned survival game, despite its silly name. The game features multiple maps to explore and loot valuable resources. Players can team up with other players to pool together resources and exchange valuable items.
It’s a common occurrence for players to wander a seemingly desolate landscape and the next moment, fight for their survival from enemy NPCs. Since there are no objectives or quests, the NPCs are your best chance to figure out how to survive this harsh world. Plays should be mindful and pay attention to detail as seemingly little things can hold the key to your character’s survival.
Apocalypse Rising 2
A free-to-play game, Apocalypse Rising 2 is a work in progress and is being constantly updated. The Apocalypse has ended in this game but the nightmares have just begun. Engulfed by zombies and other hostile survivors, players have to stick it out till help comes.
Players have to scrounge and compete for weapons, vehicles, and rations to survive the post-apocalyptic world. Players also have to fortify their defenses by repairing machines, setting traps, and fortifying their base to repel unwanted visitors and zombies. Apocalypse Rising 2 allows players to team up with friends to tackle the dystopian world together. Or players can go at it alone in the Solo mode. As this game is endlessly developing, players won’t get easily bored.
Natural Disaster Survival
A fun little addition to the survival genre, Natural Disaster Survival puts players through the wringer. From Tornados, and Floods to Giant Fires and Earthquakes, players have to think fast and adapt quickly to changing scenarios. Being a multiplayer game, there are several other players on the map and players have run around, trying to survive the natural disasters that befall all of them.
Having all these extra players makes it fun as there’s a bunch of players running into oblivion while some climb structures to escape their fate. This game becomes more ad more interesting as each natural disaster takes out some of the players. And the subsequent Natural disasters and the maps have interesting loopholes, through which players can survive.
Cenozoic Survival
Set in the Cenozoic Era or the “Era of Mammals”, this survival game takes an interesting little twist to the conventional survival era. During this era, Earth was populated by plants and animals, mostly mammals that exist today. With no human characters, players can choose either to be a Herbivore or a Carnivore.
By choosing the life of a herbivore, players will face no shortage of food and can explore what the pre-historic world looked like. The Herbivore’s main source of food is greenery which this world has an abundance of.
Alternatively, choosing to be a carnivore is a bit more challenging as players have to fight day after day to secure their food (i.e. Herbivores) and play as a predator and hunt down their food. Players choosing to be Herbivores in this game have to evade and protect themselves from the carnivores such as wolves to survive.
Survival Apocalypse
The original Survival Apocalypse features an apocalypse where everything that could’ve gone wrong, does go wrong. With no electricity, no government, and a horde of the dead rising, there are a handful of survivors. Roleplay as one of those unlucky few and start rebuilding.
Players have to fight back against the endless waves of zombies by rebuilding structures, teaming up with other survivors, and sharing their resources. Each day survived is a big achievement as players are armed with weapons and ammunition to stop the zombies from eating what’s left of humanity.
Squid Game X
Based on the wildly popular series from Netflix, Squid Game X puts players in the role of the contestants as they try to compete with hundreds of other players for a gigantic cash prize. Similar to the series, players have to play in five different child-like games to get to the massive cash prize waiting for them. Players can team up or betray their teammates for the cash prize.
Squid Game X also features a slew of mini-games to play and there are seven game modes; Tug of War, Honeycomb, Red Light-Green Light, Marbles, Glass, Night Brawl, and the iconic Squid Game. Players have to be careful as one slight mistake could result in them losing their lives and they’ll be out of the running for the big prize. Another mode places the player in the role of the guard, which is less dangerous but fun nonetheless.
Build to Survive
As the name suggests, Build to Survive puts the players in an interesting predicament. Players are spawned with various other players and they have a brief window of time to construct and fortify a base. When that time ends, the killers are spawned on the map and they try to take out all the players.
It’s literally a race against time and players adept at Minecraft can play this game as a challenge to test their fast-building skills. The killers assume the appearance of various iconic figures such as King Kong, Satan, and Abraham Lincoln to name a few.
These killers will chase you down and will try their utmost to break down the walls to get to the players. Players should focus on building sturdy and high walls and a safe space for themselves to hide in. Making structures that cause long delays is a winning strategy.
Dead Mist 2
Dead Mist 2 is a survival game on Roblox with a pretty interesting backstory. As a result of a lab test gone wrong, it causes the world around you to spiral into an apocalypse. Players play as one of the few remaining survivors from the lab, managing to escape from the facility only to find themselves in the breathtaking valleys of Mountain Springs, British Columbia.
Being no ordinary survival game, the players have to weather harsh elements such as rain and cold while scavenging and scrounging for weapons, water, and food. Players will run into different characters, some of which will be friendly and willing to share resources while the others will be downright vicious and try to snatch from you what is yours.
In Dead Mist 2, players have to loot and scavenge abandoned buildings for valuable resources and weaponry. Players will need everything and more to survive in the unhospitable world of Dead Mist 2.
Desert Island Survival
Desert Island Survival stands out from the rest of these survival games by taking a fresh perspective. Rather than surviving on your own, a player has to manage the survival of several people on a deserted island in the middle of the sea. Players have to help them by leading them to construct primitive technology such as axes and bows, as well as boats and builders.
The player also is tasked with instructing them to produce meat and food to ensure the islanders don’t die of hunger. A player’s leadership skills will be tested as these islanders have a strange habit of getting themselves stuck in the wrong places. For example, the player routinely has to save someone from the sea, infested with sharks on their boat.
Desert Island Survival becomes more and more trickier and challenging as you progress. As more people are added to the island and the player is responsible for their survival. The player then has to expand their surroundings to accommodate them. This problem requires venturing out and finding another island and a regular connection between the two islands so the sharing of resources is equal.
This game is for those who are good at simulators and can multi-task different tasks simultaneously. A fun challenge for those who might be adept at saving themselves, but what will they do when they have to save a group of people?
Animal Simulator
Similar to the Cenozoic Survival, Animal Simulator places the player into either a herbivore or a carnivore. Players can choose an animal and will be spawned into a vast wilderness that’ll be the player’s home.
By selecting an herbivore the player will be assigned randomly to a location in the map, surrounded by greenery and readily available food in the form of plants and vegetation. Herbivores have one drawback, that they have limited offensive capability, meaning they can’t defend themselves properly and have to resort to evasion and dodging tactics to avoid becoming a meal.
By choosing to be a carnivore, the only food that they can access is other animals i.e. other players. Players can choose to be a Fox, Wolf, Tiger, Lion, Eagle, or Leopard. The larger animals are unlocked by defeating them by teaming up with smaller carnivores. This will unlock the other life forms to play with.
Animal Simulator has a large variety of animals to simulate as, as long as the player progresses fast enough. Try out this nature simulator game and who knows, one day you might rule the jungle.
Shark Bite
Shark Bite is a fun game where the player can choose to be either a shark or a human on a ship. In this one shark vs. several humans game, the results are thrilling and exciting to see.
Sharks are overpowered in this game and their goal is to consume all the living players on the ship. This can be achieved by catching them in the water by toppling the ship. Or by simply jumping out of the water and taking bites out of those unfortunate enough to be on the decks of the ship.
Playing as a passenger on the ship, your goal is to defeat the overpowered shark. Players start off with a disadvantage as they’re vulnerable in the beginning. As the game progresses, players can find weapons that can attack and hurt the shark. A word of caution as the sharks can destroy your ship and leave you trapped in the water. Good luck!
Tsunami Survival
Similar to Natural Disaster Survival, Tsunami Survival pits players against one devastating natural disaster; Tsunamis. Players are spawned on a collection of maps where they have to compete with other players to get to the high ground before the Tsunami floods the entire map.
Players can play with their friends, as this game drops the players unto a seemingly calm map before it mimics a normal tsunami warning. The sirens blare loudly as all chaos is unleashed on the map as every player tries to get to higher ground.
There are successive waves with each wave slightly higher than the one before. Players have to avoid touching the water as much as possible in this deadly version of the “floor is lava” survival game. This makes for an entertaining and exciting game to be played with your friends, as there are various maps. As the number of players increases, so does the chaos and havoc when the Tsunami sirens ring loudly.
That’s all from this guide. Thanks for reading this through. Happy Surviving!
