Oxide: Survival Island is a free action game for mobile devices developed by Hyberbug, and is an MMO survival craft adventure, wherein players must fend for themselves and survive on an abandoned island full of unknown dangers. They must also contend with other players for scarce resources or choose to work together to increase their chances of survival.

Abandoned island

In Oxide: Survival Island, you find yourself stranded on an abandoned, remote island in the middle of nowhere, and must find a way to survive. Traverse an extensive map as you scavenge for various resources, and visit three biomes with distinct weather systems that will challenge you in different ways. Craft various tools from collected materials and construct a house to serve as a shelter and base.

There’s a cupboard system, wherein you need to stock up on wood to prevent your house from deteriorating. While exploring outside, there will be all sorts of dangers that lie ahead, so equip diverse weapons to defend yourself, while being wary of limited ammo if you fire it too often. All that said, the gameplay experience is rather erratic and inconsistent, with a lack of active players in some servers.

Good but inactive

Overall, Oxide: Survival Island is a decent MMO survival game with a large explorable map, solid crafting systems, and engaging gameplay. However, the lack of active players can hamper the experience, depending on which server you play in. Nevertheless, it is worth a try, especially if you have friends to play with.
