Ark Survival Evolved

About The Game

Survive and Thrive in ARK: Stranded naked and starving on the mysterious island of ARK, you must hunt, gather resources, craft items, grow crops, and build shelters to survive. Use your skills to tame or defeat the leviathan dinosaurs and other creatures. Team up with or battle hundreds of players to dominate and escape! Tame Over 100+ Creatures: Capture and tame creatures through a challenging process, then train them to follow your commands. Ride them, use them to carry supplies, or even breed them to create stronger offspring. Experience a dynamic ecosystem where you must assert your dominance to survive. Survival Mechanics: You must eat and drink to survive, each type of food having different benefits. Manage your water supply and build shelters to protect against harsh weather and environmental challenges. Craft clothing and armor to safeguard against damage and temperature extremes. Build and Customize: Chop down trees, mine resources, and craft complex structures, including multi-level buildings with ramps, beams, and more. Customize your home with paintable signs and decorations. Structures can be destroyed if not properly supported, so build strategically. Cultivate Crops: Harvest seeds, plant crops, and use fertilizer to grow food. Tend to your garden to produce rare and nutritious fruits, and use them to cook recipes and tonics. Vegetarians and vegans can thrive, mastering the ARK through non-violent means. Summon Mythical Creatures: Collect rare items to summon god-like creatures for epic battles. Defeating these powerful beings grants valuable rewards, offering an end-game challenge for experienced players and their tamed armies. Form Tribes: Create a Tribe with friends to share resources, tames, and responsibilities. Designate Tribe Admins to help manage and protect your village. Respawn at shared home points and collaborate to thrive in the ARK. Blueprints and Progression: Craft items from Blueprints with varying qualities, found in the ARK's most dangerous locations. Level up your character and tames, learning new crafting skills (Engrams) and customizing your character's appearance. Persistent World: Your character and belongings remain in the game world even when you log off. Everything can be looted, so secure your stash with strong defenses. Death is permanent, adding a layer of intensity to survival. Explore and Discover: Uncover the secrets of ARK, finding notes from past survivors that reveal the island's lore. Customize your map, use GPS coordinates, and communicate with other players to navigate and strategize.
