Our mobile phones are always ready for action. Always in our hands or our bags and packed with entertainment to fill the gaps in the day. Mobile gaming has become one of the biggest forms of entertainment around.
It started with the unassuming Snake, but now games for mobile are bigger and better than ever. No matter what type of gamer you are, from ultra-casual to hardcore, there are games for you on mobile.
And what’s more developed is making sure the same games are available across iOS and Android – so you never need to miss out on FPS shooters, top-rated card games like Hearthstone, or lightning roulette from Virgin Games.
So let’s get into what games are the best on mobile right now.
Raid: Shadow Legends
You might’ve heard some of your favorite YouTubers talk about this because they have put a lot into their marketing! Raid: Shadow Legends is a huge gacha RPG that even the most hardcore gamer can enjoy.
It has stunning graphics, enjoyable to play, and is packed out with options too. Not to mention they have plenty of offers and discounts for people who find codes from their favorite streamers and YouTubers.
You can enjoy PVP scraps or go heavily into PVE; the choice is yours – and there are plenty of people online to play with too.
It is free to play, but it is worth finding a code so you can get some of the special characters and some extra goodies in your bags.
Available on both iOS and Android.
Mafia City
If you have a penchant for mafia movies, then you are going to Mafia city. It has one of the more unique combinations of storyline and strategy – and for that reason, it is worth the memory on your mobile.
The strategy in this game will have you looking for the best ways to become the mafia boss you always dreamed you’d be. It’s not just about outwitting your foes, though; you need to carefully plan which buildings are going to get the green light – because that will decide what resources you have access to and the types of units you get.
You can play alone like a true mafia person, or you might decide that joint-ruling the city is in your best interest and have friends join forces with you to run the city.
You can even take down other players who pose a threat to your goals.
It is free on both iOS and Android.
Virgin Games
If you want to have a casino in your pocket, then the Virgin Games app is for you. You can get all of the casino’s favorites at your fingertips, from roulette to full-blown poker tournaments. Or, for the more casual gamers, you can dip in and out of slot games when you have a few minutes free.
Like many mobile casino apps, there are some promotions when you download them and set up your account. Be sure to check out the website before you download the app, so you know what bonuses you’ll get.
Available on iOS and Android.
Rise of Cultures
Rise of Cultures is going to be a must-play for those who love Forge of Empires or Civilization. You’ll be building a civilization and working on growing it throughout different periods in history. The game is rich in graphics, and you will always have plenty to do too. The reason people love Rise of Cultures is that you can choose different cultures to help expand your civilization, and it makes it a very human approach to gaming.
You can select different workers, set them up with work schedules, and more to make sure that your city grows in the best way possible. Always keep in mind, though – your workers need to have time to rest to do their best!
You can play Rise of Culture on Android and iOS.
Hero Wars
Just like Raid: Shadow Legend, you might’ve seen some adverts for this one, but if you’ve only seen the puzzle game and dismissed it – that is a mistake. There is a lot more to the game, and a lot of it isn’t seen often in marketing.
One of the best things about the game is that you will be putting together a team of fighters, or heroes in this case, and navigating your way through dungeons.
A formula many gamers will be familiar with is that your heroes are going to need to be powered up and geared up before you will be able to complete some of the harder dungeons.
There are some heroes you won’t have at first, so you’ll need to work to unlock them and make your team better.
Heroes Wars is free on both iOS and Android.
Monument Valley 2
If you like your games ultra cute, then this is for you. It is an Escher-inspired world and has plenty of puzzles you’ll need to solve. And even though the game has been out for years now, in 2021, it got a new chapter.
Often described as ultra-sweet and ultra-playable, this gamehas a lot of storytelling to it. It offers up nice tactile options, and while there are no in-game purchase options, you will need to buy the game outright.
The reason that many people say that it is worth paying for is that you’ll be hard-pressed to find a game that is as beautiful on mobile.
