Survival Kids review: Very accessible Switch 2 survival-lite game is simple but effective
Jun 13, 2025
A brand new Survival Kids game from Konami releasing day one exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 is perhaps one of the more surprising and unexpected titles on the new console.
Survival Kids is a multiplayer adventure game where players take on the role of one of four kids and work together to escape from being shipwrecked on a desert island by platforming, puzzle solving and crafting. The game can also be played solo.
The game first appeared on Game Boy Color in 1999 with sequels including Survival Kids 2: Escape the Twin Islands and games in the Lost in Blue series across Nintendo DS and the Wii.
Now, after quite a long hiatus, Survival Kids is back, this time on Nintendo Switch 2, and it's a fun game clearly designed for a younger audience.
Survival Kids story
The story of Survival Kids is simple - four kids find a treasure map and set sail to a deserted island on a raft.
There's a scared one who points out the dangers of the seas and the monsters that lurk beneath the surface but off they go anyway, full of youthful enthusiasm, with no preparation of course, to see where the old map takes them.
But they then become shipwrecked and have to use the island's resources to survive.
Players have to work together to clear islands and fix their raft under the guide of a lighthouse keeper, who navigates players and provides quips throughout.
