Last Day on Earth: Survival is a mobile survival game similar to H1Z1. Players build their own shelter/base and explore adjacent areas for resources and precious airdrops whilst fending off zombies and especially other players.

Like most survival game, Last Day on Earth: Survival has players juggling between multiple tasks, from ensuring biological needs to gathering materials, and crafting a variety of tools to improve your chances of survival.

The game’s control is similar to most ARPGs on mobile, movement on one side and action on the other. So long as you have the proper tools in your inventory, the gather button will automatically use the proper tools, hatched for trees and pickaxe for mining. If you’re willing to take the risk, there is also an auto function which collects resources automatically, however it makes players a lot more vulnerable.

Typical of the survival genre, almost all tools and weapons loses durability the more you use them until it breaks. Players can craft different weapons as they level up and learn more recipes.

Once every 24 hours, a zombie hoard will pass through the player base. If left alone, the hoard can potentially wreck your entire base. Players can set traps to defend their base while they are away, or manually defend against the hoard and lead them away from your base.

Occasionally, in the map, timed events will be generated, from military airdrops to travelling dealers who trades all sorts of items for different materials. These special events features additional loots, but will also have a chance to spawn stronger enemies.

Thoughts

Although this game is still currently only in Beta stage, like many other survival titles in early access or beta, Last Day on Earth: Survival has a pretty complete game experience. The mechanics of the game works well, keeping a sense of realism whilst providing game-like perks from crafting to sneaking behind enemies to deal additional damage or to avoid a fight.

In terms of PvE, the game remains pretty simple and straightforward, with a variety of enemy behaviors and abilities that players will have to learn for themselves.

However, PvP is where the game shines. Like most survival open-world games, players will be able to see what gear other players are rocking out to determine whether or not they want to flee or stand and fight. The most important factor that makes the PvP exciting in this game is not knowing what players have in their inventory. You never know whether or not players will change their equipment mid battle, or use outlast you with a vast supply of medikits, perfectly capturing the great experience of open-world survival games on other platforms onto mobile.

The downside to the game is how time-consuming it can get. Juggling between leveling, surviving and defending, players who want to do well have to be available during certain events to ensure that they can properly defend their base. The player’s base can also be raided by other players, which makes it hard for players to play casually, but with that being said, for casual gamers, the game isn’t really punishing to the point where playing less is worse than not playing at all.

If you’re looking for a mobile game to try, then I definitely recommend giving Last Day on Earth: Survival a shot.
