Review | Game review: Radiation City – fun zombie survival, but shows the limitations of mobile gaming
After crash-landing in Pripyat, the city that was abandoned after the Chernobyl disaster in the 1980s, players have to survive by scavenging, finding shelter and avoiding zombies in this attractive but slightly clunky mobile game

3.5/5 stars
Post-apocalyptic scenarios are quite common in video games. For those sitting comfortably with their consoles or computers, or travelling with their mobile devices, it’s always fun to be thrown into a situation where they’re forced to survive and fight off hordes of radiation-ravaged monsters.
Radiation City (iPhone and iPad) is one of a few fully realised, 3D post-apocalyptic games for mobile devices.
In this action-adventure game, you play a pilot who’s crashed in the abandoned Ukrainian city of Pripyat, decades after the disaster at the nearby Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and your only goals are to scavenge, craft objects and occasionally fight as you to try to make it through another night.
