The problem with best mobile games lists is that if you\u2019ve seen one, you\u2019ve seen them all. If you\u2019re a keen gamer, the chances are you\u2019ve already played everything in a best mobile games guide – what\u2019s left?<\/p>\n

In this guide to the best mobile games, we\u2019ve tried to take a different approach. Sure, we\u2019ve included a couple of the usual blockbusters, but mixed it up with a few underappreciated classics you may not have heard of. We\u2019ve covered arcade action with Crossy Road and Alto\u2019s Odyssey, provided a bit of augmented reality (AR) with Pok\u00e9mon Go, and even delved into the online suspense of Among Us. If you\u2019re looking for inspiration, hopefully you\u2019ll find it here.<\/p>\n

Unless you\u2019re completely new to gaming you\u2019ll have heard of Among Us, the game of teamwork and betrayal set in the icy depths of space. A real-time strategy game comprising short rounds, you play either as a crewmate trying to safely complete a mission, or a randomly selected alien impostor bent on sabotage and murder.<\/p>\n

As a crewmate, you must complete menial tasks around the ship, keeping an eye open for potential saboteurs while you try to avoid being killed or framed by the alien(s) among you. As an imposter, your job is to avoid detection while variously bumping people off or rearranging important bits of wiring. When someone thinks they\u2019ve found the impostor, everyone votes whether to eject them into space – all too often it ends up being an innocent crewmate.
\nIt\u2019s a simple setup, but the joy and depth comes from working with others to figure out who\u2019s smashing up the reactors or messing with the navigation. As the impostor, there\u2019s a dark satisfaction in socially manipulating other players, and a guilty pleasure as innocent crewmates are frogmarched to the airlock.<\/p>\n

Be warned, however, that Among Us can offer up reminders of just how awful internet multiplay can be. While fiendish opponents are part of the fun, all too often you\u2019ll see people leaving the game because they didn\u2019t get their preferred role of impostor or crewmate. Pick a bad time to play and it can spoil the appeal, as full games dwindle to a handful of players once the roles are dished out.<\/p>\n

Still, you can always host your own local or internet game, playing with friends only, or with rules you set. While it doesn\u2019t offer much depth or progression, Among Us can be a great break from the norm of gaming.<\/p>\n

Kingdom Rush is the original title in a popular series of tower defence (TD) games. Like other TD games, the basic idea is that bad guys want to get from point A to point B, and you must build weapons and defences to stop them.<\/p>\n

It starts out easy, with a couple of goblins wandering along a forest path. Build a barracks, chuck in a bombard and you\u2019ll be fine. Before you know it you\u2019re knee-deep in the undead, upgrading mages, artillery and archers to keep back the hordes.<\/p>\n

Several things make this game stand out. First up, it\u2019s a quality title, with a decent story taking you through multiple terrains, and introducing you to loads of hideous beasts. Secondly, it\u2019s utterly addictive, enticing you back to beat your rating and re-try levels on ever harder modes. And boy, is it hard, with some levels decidedly challenging even on the supposed beginners\u2019 difficulty setting.<\/p>\n

Kingdom Rush is also remarkably generous for a game that is essentially free. Admittedly it\u2019s a few years old now, but all the levels, units and gameplay are available and free of ads. Only the hero room – where you choose a powerful hero to help your campaign – and the shop where you buy in-game items offer any purchases, and they\u2019re not necessary to complete the game.<\/p>\n

Offering hours of addictive gameplay, Kingdom Rush makes train journeys or damp afternoons pass in moments. And when you do finally finish it, there are plenty of sequels to choose from.<\/p>\n

Crossy road is an arcade game very much in the mould of Frogger. You\u2019re a chicken, you need to get to the other side of ridiculously busy roads, rivers and oh my god is that a train? It\u2019s a simple concept – tap on the screen and you take one step forward, or slide left and right to adjust your path. In practice, it\u2019s far more difficult and addictive than it has any right to be.<\/p>\n

This game doesn\u2019t just leave you as a chicken. Play for long enough and you\u2019ll unlock all kinds of other beasts. You\u2019ll pick up the occasional power up, too, like sticks of dynamite that\u2019ll blow up the next vehicle that gets too close. Choose a different character and you might find yourself in a different environment. So you\u2019re a fish now? Try dodging sharks and piranhas instead of cars and trains.<\/p>\n

Crossy Road is free, but supported by intrusive video ads. You can turn them off by making any in-game purchase, the cheapest of which are less than \u00a31. Alternatively you can turn them off via the parental controls, although that seems a little miserly given that this free game offers never-ending action.<\/p>\n

And we mean that literally. We don\u2019t know why the chicken is crossing, but there is no \u2018other side\u2019.<\/p>\n

Talking of endless games, Alto\u2019s Adventure has you snowboarding down a limitless mountain in pursuit of flighty llamas. It might not sound a gripping premise, but you\u2019ll soon get absorbed in performing tricks like jumps, backflips and grinds, all by simply tapping the screen.<\/p>\n

In game mode, this can be a challenge – particularly when the in-game clock approaches nighttime and everything gets dark. It\u2019s all too easy to smack into a rock and end your run. That\u2019s annoying enough, but it usually also means you\u2019ll have to sit through a video ad as punishment. There are a few ways around this. You can master the game such that you never see them, or unlock it and enjoy it ad-free for just \u00a32. The other alternative is to engage Zen mode. Here there\u2019s no score and no challenge, and you simply get to dust yourself off and jump back on after a fall.<\/p>\n

This makes Alto\u2019s Adventure near perfect, both for when you want the excitement of nailing tricks and other challenges, and for when you just want to sit back and enjoy a chilled soundtrack and the gorgeous scenery. And should you tire of either, you can head to the dunes with the sequel, Alto\u2019s Odyssey.<\/p>\n

Even if you\u2019ve never played a mobile game, the chances are you\u2019ve heard of Pok\u00e9mon GO. Originally launched in 2016, the game became a phenomenon thanks to its successful combination of augmented reality (AR) and the collectability of Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n

The game makes you a Pok\u00e9mon trainer, with the goal to find, capture, train and battle Pok\u00e9mon – the imaginary animals already popularised by decades of games, cartoons, trading cards and other toys. But rather than uncover Pok\u00e9mon through virtual adventures in the game itself, you find them by exploring the real world through the lens of Pok\u00e9mon GO.<\/p>\n

Open up the app and your character is represented on a map that shows nearby wild Pok\u00e9mon and features including Pok\u00e9mon Gyms – where teams of trainers can battle it out in king of the hill style play. You\u2019ll see Pok\u00e9mon nearby, and catch them via a cool AR mode where the creature is superimposed on the view from your phone\u2019s camera. Capture them by flicking Pok\u00e9balls until you get just the right angle – although some Pok\u00e9mon put up more of a fight than others.<\/p>\n

It might all sound a bit academic, but the end result is a game that encourages you to get out into your community and track down and capture an ever-growing collection of Pok\u00e9mon. You might see advertising from local businesses, but you\u2019ll also see Gyms located in local places of interest – you might even discover things about your area you didn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

For dedicated players the real appeal is tracking down rare and powerful Pok\u00e9mon, and getting your own Pok\u00e9mon to evolve into more powerful fighters. But even casual Pok\u00e9mon GO players should find plenty to reward them and keep them coming back.<\/p>\n
