Crashlands
One of our favorite games last year, Crashlands is one of the most creative survival games you'll get your hands on.

Last Day on Earth: Zombie Survival
Last Day on Earth manages to bring PC-esque survival stylings to mobile in a near flawless fashion. Build up a base and collect the supplies you need to withstand the zombie apocalypse. There's lots of crafting to be had here, and the game controls beautifully, too.
