Mobile gaming is more popular than ever, thanks to the plethora of games at our disposal. Long gone are the days of Snake; now we have AAA titles we can play wherever we are.
However, most of these games require the internet to play, and this can be tricky if you don’t have a web connection. Fear not; here are some incredible mobile games you can play offline.
Stardew Valley
While there are many new online games, one of the best offline games is a title that became an instant classic. Stardew Valley has you playing the role of a young farmer looking to restore their farm to its former glory.
You can grow fruits and vegetables, tend to animals, chop down trees, mine and do tasks for your neighbors in the village. The game is calming, very addictive and always offers something new to do.
Minecraft
One of the most popular games of all time, Minecraft has been an offline classic for years. You can play both the Survival and Creative modes offline, and you only need the internet if you want to join your friends. Not only does Minecraft Mobile provide countless hours of fun, but it is also a way to explore your creativity as there is almost no end to what you can create.
Alto’s Odyssey
Alto’s Odyssey is a simple yet incredible game that has been one of the most played since its release. It is an endless runner and sandboarding game in which you play the role of Alto as he explores the world around him.
Alto’s Odyssey has received critical acclaim due to its beautiful art style and the amount of replayability available, even though the game is very basic on the surface.
Angry Birds
Another legendary mobile title is Angry Birds. With simple mechanics and gameplay but various games and themes, Angry Birds is easily one of the best hybrid casual games you can download.
While you will need the internet to play some competitive modes and tournaments, you can play almost everything else offline.
Crossy Road
Crossy Road is one of those games that not many people have played, but those who have downloaded it are addicted. It is relatively simple to understand and play; your only goal is getting your character through traffic. While this may sound easy, this endless runner can get incredibly difficult quickly, and you will repeatedly try to beat your best score.
Plants vs. Zombies
A title many of us will know for the PC, Plants vs. Zombies, is a game that has been around for years but doesn’t get old. If you have never heard of or played it before, get ready to find one of your new favorite mobile games.
Your job is to defend a house against an invading zombie horde, using plants that can shoot peas, fire, melons and everything in between. The game is fun but requires far more strategy than you may think.
Bloons TD 6
Bloons TD 6 is a tower defense game in which you have to use a variety of different monkeys, each with unique abilities, to stop a swarm of balloons from exiting a map. It is another game heavily dependent on strategy, with all maps being different. While there are several online modes for you to play, the base game doesn’t require the internet and there is plenty of offline content to enjoy.
Mini Metro
One of the unique games on this list, Mini Metro is an indie game that tasks players with creating a highly efficient metro system. Using bright colors and geometry, the player has to create a system that can expand and stay efficient as the map gets larger and larger.
Mini Metro is another one of those games that doesn’t look incredibly interesting on the surface, but once you start playing and figure out the best strategy, you realize there is far more to it than meets the eye.
Shadow Fight 2
Finally, Shadow Fighter 2 puts a new spin on the typical fighting game. You play as a shadow and have access to various weapons you can use in battle. Your character can perform a variety of martial arts moves and is similar to Tekken and Mortal Kombat in many ways.
Shadow Fighter 2 is one of the best mobile fighting games – many believe it to be one of the best mobile games of all time and a title that can easily compete with Tekken and Mortal Kombat to a degree.
