Squid Games - 456 Survival for Android

Free Android strategy game

Squid Games - 456 Survival is a free strategy game for Android based on the critically acclaimed Netflix phenomenon, Squid Game. This easy-to-grasp Squid Game simulator is as close as a mobile game can get to mirroring the Netflix series. You can try your hand at Dalgona cookie carving and other Korean classics featured in the series. 

Squid Game adaptations for Android are plenty, but so are other horror-based strategy games. If you enjoy using logic to get yourself out of sticky situations, Insomnia might be the game for you. Another Squid Game alternative is Cookie Carver: Life Challenge.

Squid Games - 456 Survival offers simple gameplay with controls that are easy to master. The game’s graphics aren’t too impressive, which is surprising given that the developer has many other free titles with higher-quality visuals. 

Gameplay

Games themselves will be familiar to you if you are a fan of the show, but won’t present as much of a challenge as it is in the Netflix series. The game has been optimised to run on lower-end Android devices, which means it has a small download size.

Red Light, Green Light

One of the most popular games from Squid Game is Red Light, Green Light. The objective is simple: Get your character to the end of the course without angering the animatronic doll that is designed to look like a young girl. Move when the robot turns around, then stop dead in your tracks when she turns to face you. If you move, your character will be eliminated and the round will be over for you.

The mobile Squid Game experience

Any Squid Game alternative optimised for mobile devices isn’t going to deliver the thrill of the show. There is no real risk involved in this game, so the reward of in-game points can only keep you motivated to play for so long. The games are relatively easy and require little true strategy. However, this does mean that the game is suitable for all ages and experience levels. 

The developer keeps the game updated often, offering patches every so often. They’ve mainly focused on bug fixes and performance issues. Some updates have included new mini-game additions, so this game is actively being expanded. Future expansions and patches may add new games, which would improve the game drastically.
