Rise of Arks: Raft Survival Reviews

by Thegaygent

What’s the point of playing a game when the first SEVERAL levels don’t even let you control anything. You just have to click what the game tells you to. No control over even placing the things you build. It’s not just suggestions. You literally can’t do anything unless the game wants you to. No point in even playing it because you have to just click exactly where it points. I downloaded it to play how I want, not just click buttons. No thanks.

This game is just another from a long line of rebranded games. It’s like Mafia Wars, or Whiteout Survival, or one of the many other names the game has gone by.

Nothing new in this game. I played it for about 30-40 minutes and tapped out. Your hand is held for 4 chapters straight, maybe more, but that's as far as I got. Click this click that, do this do that. It was getting more and more complicated. Instead of letting me explore new mechanics as the story unfolds they just kept piling them on. I just wanted to build and explore on my own too. It was literally telling me what to do every step of the way. With the countdown timers when building I know it's going to be just like every other game out there, just a different survival theme. I was hoping for a single payment game that allowed me to explore and build with freedom, but this is not that game. More mobile game garbage IMO. It's too bad because I'd drop $10-$20 for a solid mobile survival game.

Sharks aren’t what you should be scared of; it’s the whales you need to watch out for 😂😂😂😂

‘Rise of Arks’ is yet another entry in the ever-growing list of civilization builder games. If you’ve played *any* civilization builder in the past decade, you’ve basically already played this one—except they somehow managed to make it less exciting.

From the moment you start, everything feels like a checklist of clichés. You build farms. You gather resources. You expand. And then...you wait. A lot. The game’s pacing is excruciatingly slow, making it feel less like leading a grand empire and more like babysitting a spreadsheet. Every decision you make feels like it’s been ripped straight out of a hundred other games, only less engaging.

The graphics are as uninspired as the gameplay. Bland, muted colors and flat designs make your raft feel lifeless. Even the map layouts are painfully generic, offering nothing in the way of dynamic challenges or unique terrain features. As for the AI, it’s as predictable as ever—enemies make the same moves game after game, leading to battles that are more of a formality than a strategic challenge.

The soundtrack is equally forgettable, with the same handful of tracks looping endlessly, doing nothing to immerse you in your raft’s development. And don't expect any new ideas here—no twists on the classic formula, no innovative features, no reason to invest more than a few hours before the monotony sets in.

In the end, Rise of Arks is a game that does exactly what’s expected, but with zero flair or excitement. If you’re looking for a civilization builder that offers absolutely NOTHING new, you came to the right place! This one is a yawn-fest from start to finish.

This is probably the worst game in general I have ever played in my entire life. If you’re gonna make me wait for a month so a game can come out at least make it good. Disgusting

This is literally white out survival but in water from the ambiance to the gameplay everything is exactly the same do better😭

The events and 3 day award are bugged, it does not let you access them and when you try to do the arena it grey screens. Game is very bugged

Didn’t look like the ads I saw. I didn’t make it 20 minutes. This was boring and the scale of buildings vs people was odd.

How do I get the pre order rewards

by Darksabbath

Graphics are excellent. And the storyline seems pretty good. Great game if into creating power guilds to destroy smaller beginners. Have fun

Haven’t played. Just want to be the first review. Thanks for reading.

I just started playing the game. It’s great, but I can’t get past where you first build the water purifier. The rewards screen blocks me from pushing anything and I can only click what the hand is on. I’ve also already built the purifier. I went back to the game and this issue came up.

So far I love the voice acting and the story we get in the beginning so amazing even the sound effects are spectacular. This for sure is one of the best survival games I’ve played so far. Very immersive. 🤯😮‍💨🔥💖

Interesting layouts and schemes. Cartoon style, but nice. Smooth action.
