We live in an age where you don’t need a top-of-the-range PC or console to play detailed, exciting games. Every day, developers release mobile games that put some of their PC and console rivals to shame. With so many exciting
upcoming mobile games, it may be hard to pick out the best ones. Here are some of the best mobile games you should download and play today.
F-Sim: Space Shuttle 2
The long-awaited sequel to the hit game F-Sim: Space Shuttle, Space Shuttle 2 puts you at the controls of a spaceship heading into the immense galaxy. The game has been rebuilt from the ground up, giving you a PC level of simulation on your mobile device. A new mode called Orbiter has been added, allowing you to take a trip around the earth. The game will enable you to control almost every aspect of the flight, much like Microsoft’s much-loved flight sim, Flight Simulator.
Metal Slug Commander
Metal Slug Commander puts a mobile twist on a beloved franchise. Take control of classic commandos, vehicles, weapons, and mechs as you attempt to defeat an incoming force in this two-line strategy battle game. The game features classic Metal Slug characters, music, and scenes. You have access to a massive mecha collection to improve your army, and the online system allows you to face opponents from across the globe.
Tesla Force
Tesla Force is a game that combines Nikola Tesla with the stories of H.P Lovecraft. While that sounds a bit bizarre, it makes for a sci-fi-game with monsters that the player needs to defeat. This top-down, rogue-like game is certainly not easy either. The procedurally generated maps give players new enemies and challenges, but the permadeath aspect adds a level of difficulty that quickly becomes addictive.
Rush Rally Origins
Rally racing games don’t get enough love on mobile devices, but
Rush Rally Origins is here to change that. This top-down racing game puts you through your paces across 36 unique tracks and weather conditions. You can compete against the best of the best in the World Rally Championship, and if your car isn’t able to keep up, many upgrades can be done to improve the look, speed, and control of your vehicle.
Monument Valley
Easily one of the most beautiful mobile games you can play right now, Monument Valley is a puzzle game where you need to manipulate architecture to allow a silent princess to travel from one side of the level to the exit. Don’t expect ordinary buildings or architecture either. The game features impossible paths, walls, and surfaces. The crisp, simple graphics and bright colors make you feel like you’re in a fantasy world, and the challenges you face never become boring or overdone.
Hearthstone
Hearthstone, the top-rated card game based on the World of Warcraft universe, has made its way to mobile. Prepare your deck with creatures, warriors, and magic to take on and defeat your opponents. The game features a practice mode if you haven’t played Hearthstone before. Many players will tell you that the game is straightforward to learn but challenging to master. The countless deck options mean you will never find yourself getting bored or left without a challenge.
Florence
Florence sees the player take control of the protagonist, Florence Yeoh, as she goes about her daily routine. You meet a cellist who changes your life course completely, with the game playing out in chapters, like a book. With incredible dialogue and a deep story, Florence isn’t about action or shooting but more about living out the main character’s life. Simple, animated graphics are stunning to look at, with many scenes of the game resembling something out of a movie.
Crash Bandicoot: On the Run
Crash Bandicoot has
made his way onto mobile. On the Run features all your favorite Crash characters, as well as all the legendary locations and bosses that fans of the series have come to know and love over the years. On the Run also has a multiplayer feature, allowing you to team up with friends and other players to take on levels. While this game doesn’t have many uniquely mobile features, it does bring the Crash experience right to your mobile device.
Everdale
Supercell, the creators of the hit games Clash of Clans, Boom Beach and Clash Royale, now bring you Everdale. This village builder allows players to expand their land, farm, collect, build and trade. There are many upgrades and building options to choose from and numerous quests and tasks that players can do to earn rewards. If you had to merge Hay Day with the Clash of Clans look and feel, you would get Everdale. As you can see, there is no need to play any basic, boring mobile games nowadays. You can choose between action and adventure or relaxing and straightforward. There are so many incredible mobile games to choose from that these are just a few. If you have played them already, you know how amazing they are; if you haven’t yet, you should download them right now.
