Space Survivor: Star Pioneer is a thrilling survival strategy game set in the depths of space. Your ship has been boarded by a nightmare creature, and your only hope is to find a secure room and lock the door. Earn energy while you sleep to build turrets, upgrade your fortifications, and research high-tech gadgets to repel the monster. Coordinate with other survivors to increase your chances of survival. It’s a game of tactical planning and nerves—can you make it until dawn?
Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Space Survivor is a tense, claustrophobic mix of hidden identity and base defense that will immediately feel familiar to fans of games like 'Among Us' or 'Silent Castle.' You are trapped on a derelict spaceship and must hide in a room, build up your defenses, and survive the night against an encroaching alien monster. The loop of upgrading your door and placing turrets while managing limited energy is surprisingly stressful and rewarding.
The game does a great job of building atmosphere through its dark, sci-fi corridors and high-stakes sound design. While the early levels can be cleared with basic turrets, the difficulty ramps up significantly as the monster evolves and gains new ways to breach your sanctuary. It’s a great 'game of nerves' that requires you to balance resource gathering with defensive spending. If you enjoy 'tower defense with a survival twist,' this is a very solid mobile entry.
Features

Tips & Walkthrough
The 'Energy Generator' (Bed) is your most important asset. Upgrade it to Level 2 immediately before building any weapons to ensure you have the cash flow for later defenses.
Gameplays
Watch the monster's attack pattern. If the door's health drops below 30%, use a 'Repair' booster immediately to buy time for your turrets to deal damage.

Countdown Timer
Wed Dec 13 2023 QuarkensteinThe level 8 issue was fixed. Unfortunately there are now countdown timers. That is fine in principal but these only countdown when you are actively playing and some of my timers are over 24 hours. There’s boats that can help but I’m just not getting enough of those. It’s still fun to squish Zerg but I’ve lost the fun of developing my base. Fun little game until you get stuck. It wants a level 8 upgrade to advance. This doesn’t seem to exist.
Fun for a bit
Wed Jul 12 2023 XanderakGame is fun until level 7 or so. Level 8 needs money or farming for a week or so to get enough xp to beat, I quit here. Other things that could make it way better: More synergies between weapons/skills like other games of this type. Like Gatling + Satellite, that is awesome. Eg attack speed, bullet speed, fire should affect all weapons. Base upgrading is pretty cool. I didn’t understand what a few buildings did though. Like the tv screen tower west of the food. Defense vs all bosses is the same, just run in a circle and try not to get squeezed by wall. Kinda boring. Video skill bonuses are counter productive. It bumps you up a level, but then you still have to farm the same amount of xp to get the next level. Should not affect your level, like other similar games. 15m timer for most all levels is tedius. Should vary 3,5, 8 mins for some. Trials are tedious, all with same difficulty risers. Meteors are annoying, not fun. Bug where you can just pause and unpause game to avoid them. But that gets annoying too lol. Anyways, hope yall keep improving it. Thanks for game!
Deserves a 5
Sat Nov 04 2023 OskergThis thing really deserves five stars. It’s fun to play, they’ve managed to combine at least two different games into one. I just really enjoy it. The reason it doesn’t have five stars from me is that this morning I paid 10 bucks to eliminate ads. they did not go away and within probably 15 minutes I was offered the opportunity to pay to eliminate ads. I checked to make sure that the previous purchase completed, and it did. I really try to make a point of paying for games that are well-developed and I enjoy. But it really bothers me that I paid the money and did not get the benefit.
Addicting
Wed Mar 01 2023 IcantsplI do not normally write reviews. That said this is a fun game. I have spent countless hours killing time with this game. However I would have given 5 stars, if when I purchased the option to get rid of the add’s. It worked. It did not I am still having to suffer through the adds. There is NO option to reach out to customer support directly from inside the game. So I am hoping the DEV’s read this and fix this. Or refund the $ I spent to not have to watch the add’s. Once this is done I will give you the final star.
Nice game!
Tue Feb 28 2023 Road DonGood relaxer but a couple suggestions….if it requires more materials to upgrade, then shouldnt the gravity cart carry more materials? Its way to slow to keep taking 60 when the upgrade is asking for 680. Also, if the zerg battles are getting harder and harder, why isnt the reward/gold getting hight and higher? But overall a decent fun game to ay when I have some down time.
Game is Stuck
Tue May 09 2023 SquirtleJuicesI enjoy the game when I have some downtime. Unfortunately my game progress is stuck / halted because the game wants me to upgrade something to level 8 that doesn’t exist. It’s like they reskinned some of the stuff in the game and forgot this particular thing. I’m pretty sure the thing I’m supposed to upgrade is the main base because it’s the only level 7 thing left, but I have no option to do so because the images don’t match. I’ve looked everywhere, completed level 8 trials, and am board 11 in main mission line. Update- 1.8.0 Did not fix my problem. I still cannot progress in game.
good game but
Tue Feb 14 2023 remereegood game but has a few flaws. one, theres no clear way to defend from projectiles, therefore motion in poison to dodge forces you to count on a tanky build. second, upgrading your gun to the max removes the armor piercing effect so some upgrades have penalties or tradeoffs. finally, if youre free-to-play, youll get all items, but over half your gameplay will be ads. upgrade? ad… a few min intermission? ad…. finished a level? ad followed by an ad on removing ads… resources? ad… logged on? ads…. overall great game concept, but needs a few touches in minor details. ads are ads its your choice to not pay, but some parts like losing AP shots for upgrading comes off as a bad mechanic in my opinion. very strategic considering your equipment sets also add other abilities, but still feels restricted to being tanky since theres no manner of countering attacks
Lots of bugs
Tue Apr 30 2024 TaimensionInternal countdown/refresh is faulty, like the daily reward can only claim once and never refreshed, in game progress time won’t continue after you leave the game, makes it useless. Progression requirements is very unbalanced, meaning your capability is far off from what’s required, makes it impossible to upgrade, but this either shows they just roll out without deep calculation, or they just want ads money, either is… you know.. small timer. They just combine two existing game into one and lots of ads.
