Our Expert Score

89/100

Lonely Survivor is a masterclass in the 'horde-survival' genre on mobile. It takes the formula popularized by Vampire Survivors and refines it with high-quality particle effects and a progression system that feels meaningful. Playing as a lone mage against thousands of enemies is an absolute blast, especially when you finally reach the point where your spells are auto-firing so fast the screen becomes a beautiful kaleidoscope of destruction.

The rogue-lite elements are perfectly balanced; every death feels like a step forward because the gold you earn can be used for permanent stat upgrades. The boss fights are a particular highlight, requiring actual kiting skills and pattern recognition rather than just standing still. It’s highly addictive, visually impressive, and the perfect 'one-more-run' experience. It manages to be both chaotic and strategically deep, making it a standout title for action RPG fans.

The 'Fireball' and 'Forcefield' are excellent for beginners, providing both offensive power and a safety net for close encounters.

I really didn’t want anything to do with this game…
Thu Oct 06 2022 Jdheiskdbrjsoos

The same fricken ad for this game kept coming up while I was playing another one. There is this song that plays (even when I have my sound off) and the lyrics are “tear me apart…” and that’s all it is. Every single time. I came here explicitly to write a review and ask if ANYONE knows what the song is. Which I would still like to know. This being said, it wouldn’t let me write a review without playing the game, and I’m so desperate to figure out what the song is, that I downloaded and played it. It’s actually super addicting and I love it hahaha. It absolutely itches a scratch in my brain that I couldn’t reach. But for real…will someone P L E A S E tell me what the song is? Thanks

The game is fun for 2 days and then unplayable
Wed Feb 15 2023 erikward11

The first couple days are fun. Beating levels aren’t too difficult and can typically be beaten on first of second try. Then you just cannot win anymore. At all. Obtaining weapons/armor/gems happen so rarely and are ALWAYS garbage pieces that cannot be used. There are so many different types of worthless armor it quickly becomes impossible to advance. Armor can be upgraded by merging like pieces, but you NEVER get like pieces. So very quickly the levels become impossible to play. I can go back and replay lower levels but the rewards from doing that make it impossible to advance my character damage/health levels. For a week I have been unable to advance. I really gave the game a fighting chance but it stopped being fun. Uninstalling literally after posting this review. Game needs to be rebalanced. Another INCREDIBLY annoying thing is your ads. I have watched hundreds. If it’s a 60 second ad, put 60 sec on the timer. Instead you put 25 sec, which leads to another screen with 15 sec, which leads to another screen with 10 sec, which leads to another screen with 10 sec before finally providing the X to close the ad and get the reward. If it is 60 sec, say so from the start. I’m done. Uninstalled

Fun at first…
Sun Dec 10 2023 Please read developers!!!

The first few chapters (levels) are fun, and not too hard to beat! But then it gets super hard an impossible to beat. One time a spent a whole week on one chapter, and when I did beat it it’s because I had to pay diamond to revive, and even then I barely survived. I think once the chapters get harder your attacks should at least become stronger as well, so you can at least get through some of the monsters, not to mention the bosses! And it should be a bit easier to get better armor. Whenever you do actually get armor it’s common or uncommon. Also, the mini bosses… let’s just say… these things are a infinite amount of health. In all, I’m done! I’ve seen so many reviews complaining about this exact thing, where the developers respond and read the reviews, BUT THEY NEVER CHANGE ANYTHING!! And because of this I quit. Though, please developers, if you are reading this, can we get some not impossible chapters for anyone else still playing, and not just respond to my review and do nothing? That would be appreciated by everyone who is still going to give this game a fighting chance.

Fun but
Sun Jul 02 2023 UnknownMan2000

I enjoy the game a lot but once you get to higher levels or stages it becomes nearly impossible to win. Seriously it takes over 30 hits to kill one enemy and you start to have wave after wave. It is seriously like sitting in a hornets nest they keep coming. It gets frustrating when you can’t move 2 inches without having hundreds of enemies start piling down on top of you. Seriously you eliminate 25 just to have 50 more pile on top of you 5 seconds later. It just feels like you start great than after a day of playing the waves jump from a level 2 difficulty to 8 out of nowhere. Another problem is all these crates you can break while on the battlefield. It always just piles you with coins but it will give you a magnet you desperately need 1 every 40 crates you destroy. After a while it just feels like the game becomes very lopsided against you. Sometimes you get nothing good and will be overwhelmed 35 seconds into a battle.

It’s great but sometimes frustrating
Wed Feb 15 2023 XxBeasttxX

The game is fun to play and the skills/powers are awesome but when it comes to the higher stages either magic tower or story chapters there will be monsters that will be super hard to kill and too many that spawn at once. Everytime that happens I either have to run past them and take huge damage or just die. I suggest a skill that gives damage reduction. Also the level ups be sometimes frustrating too. Everytime I need a skill that I really need to upgrade it just never gives it to me until I’m close to death. Overall the games pretty good 👍🏾

Continuing adventure

This game is fun and I love playing the game but the only problem I have is unlike the other game of the same style I play when you have to leave the game (for example your game crashes or phone dies causing the game to close rather than just ending your run manually) for any reason then play later when it asks you to continue and you do it restarts all progress that you just had. I think it should start you back up at the previous time you closed the app.

Needs to be fixed

Okay I get that u need to make money but not like this, ads everywhere when it comes to claiming rewards. Why do u have to watch ads to claim a simple reward???? And there’s like what multiple of them that are just events or like 30 or so diamonds. There’s no free button anywhere just ads as a button. It’s actually just ads based game actual trash product/design. Gameplay wise it’s a carbon copy of vampire survivors that about it. You need gold to get an upgrade that is mediocre at best, u need epic armor to even get bonuses from the set. The gacha system just adds a bad taste with ads let alone is just plain dog****

Don’t be deceived

This is a fun game I found myself playing it everyday. The gear you get for free is mostly all trash. But my main problem with this game is that when you demo a hero and you’re flying through enemies, what they don’t tell you is that they pair that hero with a top tier weapon. So when you go ahead and make the purchase to buy that hero and pair it with your gear. All the flashy easy kills you think you’d get don’t happen. Infact you’re better off with that weapon and not the hero. And don’t bother sending them an email requesting a refund ( I made my request less than 10min after purchase). Because they will say that they don’t give refunds. Gameplay 7/10 Everything else 2/10
