Survival Game is a battle royale video game title developed by Xiaomi for Android.
The gameplay is derived from traditional battle royale gameplay tactics, which is, players will have to compete with each other and be the last one standing. The distinctions include: Players fly from spaceship onto a map area in their respective spacecraft instead of being dropped from an airplane. They can decide when and where to land on the battlefield. [1] All resources are searched and retrieved from the map to fight other competitors. The last one standing will be the winner. The game features sci-fi characters, weapons, vehicles and battlefields. Also, players can cultivate their own characters with in-game chips. [2] [3]
The game was announced on 24 October 2018 in a thread on the official website of Xiaomi asking their fans to aid them in the production by applying for beta-testing campaign called Closed Beta Test. [4] [5] 31 October 2018 was mentioned as the last date to apply for the same but they had to close the campaign earlier because they got enough applicants for now and asked players to stay tuned for the next one in case they missed signing up for it.

A November 2018 preview in Gadgets 360 noted that the menu soundtrack was strikingly similar to that of PUBG Mobile , and hoped that this was placeholder content. It said the characters had a sci-fi cartoony look like Overwatch, and noted that the futuristic look of airplane used to jump-off to the battlefield resembled Halo. It felt the map was distinct from Erangel of PUBG Mobile in layout and design of the structures, and noted that vehicles include huge flying saucers which resembled Wasps from Halo. Although weapons were named after their real-life equivalents, the reviewer felt they but had no distinction, such as recoil, and felt like blasters from Star Wars: Battlefront . [7]
The success of mobile variants of battle royale games like PUBG and Fortnite in 2018 led to the creation of many other games of the same genre, with little to no distinction, which also inspired Xiaomi to go in the same field. [5] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]
