Oxide: Survival Island Online brings the high-tension, hardcore survival experience popularized by games like Rust to the mobile platform. It doesn't hold your hand—you start with nothing on a dangerous shore and must immediately find resources to survive hunger, cold, and other players. The persistent servers are a major feature here; the world keeps running even when you're offline, which makes base building and fortification feel incredibly significant. The constant threat of being raided by other clans adds a layer of paranoia and excitement that few other mobile games can match.
The crafting and building systems have been significantly improved in recent updates, offering a deep level of customization for your base. From simple wood shacks to massive metal fortresses with cupboards to prevent decay, the progression is tangible. The game also features a variety of biomes and a growing map that rewards exploration. While the learning curve is steep and the community can be ruthless, it's the most authentic multiplayer survival simulator available on iOS, especially for those who enjoy high-stakes PvP and cooperative base building.
Persistent multiplayer servers
Deep crafting & building
Dynamic biomes (Cold, Hot, Temperate)
In-game friends & clan system
Intense PvP and raiding
Immediately gather wood and stone to craft a stone hatchet and pickaxe. Build a small 1x1 base and place a cupboard inside with wood to prevent the structure from decaying while you are offline.
Use the building system to create layers of walls and doors. Craft weapons like machine guns or explosives to raid rival bases for resources and loot.
The cupboard protects your base area and prevents your structures from decaying if you keep it supplied with logs.
This game has come a long way. I remember playing this game when it first came out and the amount of bugs and glitches was unbearable. The game was still new and being developed so it was really bad. Now a couple of years later the game has transformed into something with so much potential. The only thing i have a hard time with is that there’s no gyro aiming. It would be a good idea to add gyro to the game. Not only would it help players get better but it would also bring other players from other games to try this game. As someone who plays PUBG mobile and COD mobile. It’s almost unbearable to aim in this game without gyro.
I have been playing this game for 2 years, and this wipes update is absolutely horrendous. Last wipes game mechanics were amazing. This wipe the games development is almost un-playable. You can no longer see your friend’s names in game unless you’re in a clan. All other names are also invisible which causes people to kill each-other before able to join into a clan together. This also causes it to be impossible to see which clans you are fighting against. On top of the name issue, the helicopters flying mechanics are destroyed; it’s almost impossible to turn in the helicopter and the landing mechanics are completely gone causing the helicopter to glitch through walls and getting stuck. (Bring back the old helicopter!!!) We have also lost the ability to craft building plans as well as building hammers, which causes lost money put into building hammers skins. The new building mechanics are also horrible, it’s slow and clunky. (Bring back the oxide from last wipe.) This update has caused me to completely leave the game all together, and I’m continuously see the same comments from tons of other people playing the game. Again, the games play style and mechanics were at its peak this last wipe; and now this wipes has completely made the game un-enjoyable and almost un-playable. I hope the developers see this…
Oxide, is a really nice game, and the best copy of rust on phones, BUT, there are things thats needs to change, and im looking forward to rebalancing the craft and PVP, first, lets talk about crafting system, me and everyone especially would love to rebalance crafting, delete sticks, and delete planks, why? It takes too much time to craft it, and I want to use only wood, and I want you to rebalance ammo, its hard to craft, and takes too long, I want to ammo craft quickly, like in rust, for 1 craft you get 2 ammo instead of one, now, lets talk about PVP rebalancing, I want for you to make sleepers, because I hate to PVP players, and when they start to losing they just leave, they use scripts, and Iphone, on iphone you just close app and you’re leaving in a second, now, lets talk about another things, aid kits, can you add some sort of kd, because in oxide fights winning ones who has more kits, can you make kd, and I want to people win not because they have scripts for leaving, and more kits, I want to people win because they are more skilled, I hope developers gonna see this, and use what I said, good luck ;)
I’ve played the game for 8 months now it’s a great game but there is plenty still wrong with it for #1 there are too many cheaters and hackers and when reported nothing is done #2 the play mini games for coins feature is stupid the items u buy with coins should be items anyone can get without spending money or hours playing a mini game for a few coins it doesn’t make the game fun when people have helicopters and buggy’s and resource collectors and can build up faster makes playing the game frustrating #3 I got kicked out mid raid and haven’t been able to log back in and when I contacted customer support, they said they get back to me and still haven’t I basically lost my acc that I worked 8 months building up and leveling up if those things are fixed it would be a great game ps. Add chainsaws and jackhammers for quicker resource collection or to at least make it fair to people who can’t afford the resource collector
Hello. I have encountered a serious issue that directly affects the gameplay experience and the ability to play with friends. At the moment, it is impossible to change the region in the game, even after fully meeting all standard requirements. The region is assigned automatically, and the game does not provide any option to change it manually. As a result, I cannot play with my friends because we are located in different regions, and the system strictly limits interaction between them. This appears to be a bug or a design oversight because: The region is selected automatically with no option for manual change; There is no warning or explanation provided; The issue completely blocks the cooperative aspect of the game. I kindly ask you to: Fix the region change mechanic or add a manual region selection option; Or provide an official way to change the region without the need to recreate an account; Clarify whether this restriction is intended or if it is a bug. This issue affects not only me — many players are facing the same problem, especially those who want to play with friends from other regions. This is critical for a multiplayer game and significantly reduces player interest. I hope for a prompt fix and feedback. Thank you
Your game is honestly really good, the way it feels almost exactly like rust is mind blowing. The one downside is the fact that you can’t adjust every button in the UI, and it has some random red box in the corner for the opacity an size which is honestly useless, you should be able to move it around and not have it stuck in one spot, you can’t see it in game and can’t put any binds in that area. That limits me to actually feeling comfortable while playing. FPS games on mobile I use 6 fingers for so not being able to use the whole screen do the UI is annoying, especially when I accidentally click the shop button trying to to jump mid gunfight.
I love the game overall but definitely need some improvements. Too many hackers make the game unfair. The hackers are getting better and I’m getting killed out my heli with an ar all headshots and aimbot it’s insane. I built and unraidable base to only get raided by hackers and afk spawned by Chinese hackers inside the base. I wouldn’t care if it was a fair raid it just makes the game no fun. I’ve gained a lot of good friends through this game and I love to keep playing and I will for sure. One other thing I can say is the prices for the item shops are way too high. The first three turrets, heli, buggie are set at a reasonable price. But the mining quarry at a whopping $50 to get 2k stone 500 metal 200 sulf for 100 fuel. The return is ok but for the price is too expensive man. I really want yall to add ladders next. Thats all :)
It’s a fun game but every time you log off you have to throw everything in your inventory because as soon as you are gone someone will come raid you. It doesn’t matter where you put your base what server you are on how strong your base is it will get raided every time you log off because so many people hack. I try to find a server with not a lot of people and go to the edge of the map and build a 1x1 with a wall around it and upgraded all the way it will get raided every time I’m gone but I will have all the loot on me because your body disappears when you log off and I just have to fix some minor things when I log back on that’s the best way I’ve found to play lol
