Free-to-play endless runner

Survival Run with Bear Grylls is a free-to-play action game that puts you in control of celebrity survivalist Bear Grylls. This running game tasks you with overcoming diverse terrain, from running through forests to boating across clear waters. This takes the running subgenre to the next level, with activities such as driving boats and going skydiving.

With good-quality graphics, smooth gameplay, and a steadily increasing progression similar to Temple Run, Survival Run with Bear Grylls is an enjoyable game for a lot of players whether you’re looking for something casual, looking to set high scores, or feeling the adrenaline.

Help Bear survive the elements

Survival Run with Bear Grylls lets you play as the titular character. Best known for his survival shows such as Man Vs. Wild and Running Wild with Bear Grylls, the British adventurer and entrepreneur is known for his adventures that put his skills against different harsh environmental conditions. This is translated into the game through its different set designs, ranging from lush forests to rocky cliffs.

More than just the changing backdrops, the activities that Bear does also changes. He runs, steers a boat, and even freefalls down a great height. In true running game fashion, you only need to steer him left and right, avoiding obstacles and collecting gold coins along the way. These coins allow you to unlock additional in-game content such as levels and skins.

As the game progresses, it also becomes faster. This makes it increasingly challenging, although the rewards also scale appropriately. The only issue with the game at this point is that it can feel slow for new players. Your survivability and scoring potential depend on the powerups you have, which appear randomly. Their range and duration increase as you purchase them in the store.

A next-level running game

There are a lot of reskinned Temple Run-inspired games, but Survival Run with Bear Grylls is definitely not one of them. While it retains the standard premise of endless running games, the experience is just different and more enjoyable. There’s no issue with gameplay, optimization, visuals, and progression. Once you make it through the initial grind, it’s a great casual experience.
