Once you’ve read all the reviews and decided on the smartphone for you, it isn’t always easy to then determine what are the best games for your newly purchased device. Some phones are more suited to certain games, while others can pretty much handle them all.
Mobile gaming is thriving at the moment. As such, games developers are throwing their respective hats into the ring in an attempt to crack the market. Even Sony is reportedly plotting a big PlayStation push into the mobile gaming market. We have also seen console and PC gaming classics such as Fortnite and PUBG making a successful transition over to mobile, particularly as the modern smartphone has the capabilities to host a variety of games.
With an array of games continually coming our way on android, it can be tough to decide on a game or two worth devoting your time to. Some gamers adore playing live dealer games at a respected casino, while others prefer to catch Pokemon while out walking the dog. The options are certainly comprehensive in today’s modern world. Below is a look at a few more worthwhile releases on android.
Summer Catchers
Summer Catchers isn’t free, but it’s worth every penny. An endless runner with a twist, players, don’t just have to simply tap the screen on this creation. You need to time the power-ups perfectly, get any speed boosts when you can, and smash through as many walls as possible in what is a truly epic road trip.
Garena Free Fire – The Cobra
If you’re bored of Fortnite and PUBG, then give Garena Free Fire – The Cobra a try. A battle royale feast, players are tasked with seeing off 49 others in a 10 minute festival of chaos. You can even create a four-man squad with in-game voice chat to the 4v4 clash squad mode also. The graphics certainly need improving but that shouldn’t put you off what is a growing release with bags of potential.
Rush Rally 3
Bringing console-style rally racing to android, Rush Rally is a brilliant game. You can try to rise up the ranks in career mode, jump into a single rally mode, or even take on the computer in rallycross. The racing mechanics of the game work extremely well, the controls are fairly simple to grasp. With stunning visuals and excellent graphics for a smartphone release, it really does demonstrate just how far racing games have come on mobile.
Downwell
A stunning arcade shooter capable of impressing on any smartphone device, Downwell features the story of a boy who hurls himself down a well. Thankfully – and somewhat comically – he happened to have his ‘gunboots’ on in case of such an emergency. As a result, players are tasked with exploring the well and taking out any nasties which might get in the way. There are monsters, spooky tunnels, combos to master, and a whole lot more.
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery
One for fans of Harry Potter, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is an award-winning narrative RPG well worth playing. Playing as a student at Hogwarts, the aim of the game is to attend classes, form friendships, and learn magic in one of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin. Once your brother disappears, things start to really kick-off, though.
Minecraft
One of the biggest games ever is now on mobile, and it’s an absolute blast. With cross-platform play and the ability to invite up to 10 friends at a time, Minecraft is a truly brilliant release. You can sample survival mode, build plenty, craft weapons, and fight off angry groups.
