Rules of Survival
Rules of Survival is a free-to-play 3D mobile battle royale shooter that drops up to 120 players onto a large, empty island with nothing but their fists. From there it becomes a race to loot weapons, armor, and supplies, then outplay everyone else as the safe zone closes in and forces confrontations. Vehicles, varied gear, and multiple matchmaking options (solo or squads) help it capture the familiar last-player-standing loop that defined early mobile battle royale releases.

Rules of Survival Overview
Rules of Survival is a free-to-play mobile battle royale built around the same core structure popularized by titles like Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds and Fortnite. You queue into a match alone or with a small team (up to four players), then drop onto a sprawling island alongside up to 120 competitors. The early minutes are all about landing choices and quick looting, because everyone starts unarmed and the first weapon you find often decides your opening fight.
Once on the ground, the loop is straightforward but effective: search buildings for firearms, ammo, armor, healing items, and attachments, then rotate toward safer areas while watching for ambushes. Players can choose an aggressive approach by chasing gunfire and hunting opponents, or a slower style that prioritizes positioning and survival until the field thins out. Either way, the match pressure ramps up as the playable area shrinks over time and punishes anyone who lingers outside the safe zone.
Combat leans on familiar battle royale fundamentals: recoil control, quick peeks around cover, and smart use of gear. Vehicles add another layer to rotations, letting you relocate quickly, escape bad circles, or gamble on loud, high-risk pushes into contested areas. Outside of matches, the game also offers cosmetic customization through its shop, focusing on visual upgrades rather than changing the core rules of the mode.
Rules of Survival Key Features:
- Battle Royale Combat – compete for survival on an isolated island where only one player or team can finish on top.
- Solo or Multiplayer Gameplay – jump in alone or squad up with friends and coordinate looting, rotations, and fights.
- Variety of Weaponry – scavenge different guns and protective gear across the map, including SMGs, assault rifles, and helmets that can prevent a lethal headshot.
- Massive Game Map – choose your drop and plan routes through wide open spaces and building clusters that support multiple playstyles.
- Abandoned Vehicles – use vehicles to cross long distances quickly, reposition as the circle moves, or push through dangerous territory.
