A global phenomenon
PUBG Mobile
Free w/IAPs at Google Play Store
PUBG Mobile's main attraction is a massive PvP Battle Royale mode that pits 100 players against each other on a massive island loaded with weapons, ammo, tactical gear, and vehicles. Thanks to Tencent Games continuing to add new content to the game, there are multiple maps and more arcade-style modes to choose from for shorter sessions. Of course, there's a tiered progression ladder with a free game pass and a premium one that offers more cosmetic rewards. Every 6-8 weeks, the game pass resets.
A hardcore tower defense game
Mindustry
Mindustry is an incredible open-ended sandbox tower defense game that will blow you away with the level of depth and customization available to the player. Not only do you need to build up your defenses, but you must also maintain your supply chain for delivering resources to your base and turrets. The campaign mode tasks you with mining resources while defending against waves of highly aggressive enemies, and there's also full support for custom multiplayer matches and a map editor. The whole game is free-to-play with no ads or in-app purchases.
Many ways to play
Brawl Stars
Free w/IAPs at Google Play Store
Developed by Supercell, Brawl Stars is a fast-paced arena brawler that is unlike most other games on the Play Store. It's a departure from the Clash of Clans universe that has made Supercell a household name and instead lets players team up in a MOBA game that differentiates itself from others in the genre with its colorful and cartoony look that's backed by great gameplay variety. There are multiple game modes available, which rotate every couple of hours, so there's always something new to play whenever you log into the app.
Break on through to the Other Side
Stranger Things: The Game
Stranger Things: The Game is a surprisingly great game for what was mainly a marketing tool for the Netflix show's second season. All the characters, settings, and themes from the source material are converted into a pixel-retro action-adventure game similar in gameplay style to the Adventures of Zelda. Where other 2D adventure games try and use a digital d-pad for control, Stranger Things uses a simple tap control system that works well. The game is a good mix of puzzle-solving and action, with your favorite characters from the show to unlock and add to your party. There's a surprising amount of depth to this game and everything feels complete for a free game.
High concept puzzle game
Ancestor
Free w/IAPs at Google Play Store
Ancestor is a fast-paced puzzler mixed with a side-scrolling action runner. You'll need sharp reflexes and quick thinking if you have any hopes of getting far in this game. You play as a cloaked hero who must traverse dangerous lands filled with traps and enemies — all with the help of a mysterious orb that shoots lasers. Clear the path ahead by solving quick puzzles and shooting down enemies — including boss battles — as the game adapts to your skills and ups the difficulty as you go. If you want to support the developer, you can purchase cosmetic upgrades for your character and laser orb, but you are also able to unlock all items by collecting the in-app currency during gameplay.
Gotta catch 'em all!
Pokémon Go
Free w/IAPs at Google Play Store
Pokémon Go is still going strong with a healthy player base still catching 'em all. While the initial craze has died down, it's still pretty common to catch folks playing Pokémon Go on the bus and elsewhere around the city. It's so popular that chances are you've already checked the game out or are one of the millions out there still exploring your city for rare finds and community event days. Pokémon Go was the first game to really usher in location-based augmented reality games to the mainstream, and it remains the most fleshed out and fun to play of all the games we've seen.
Become a MOBA champion
Vainglory
Free w/IAPs at Google Play Store
Vainglory is one of the best multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games for mobile that offers cross-platform support with PC. The game looks stunning and offers 120FPS for devices that support it. There are game modes for both casual and competitive play, with Blitz 3-vs-3 games available for fast five-minute matches, and a robust 5-vs-5 mode that typically lasts up to 25 minutes. Featuring an ever-growing roster of heroes to choose from and exciting action that you can play on the go, Vainglory is a solid game that's free to play and supported by in-app purchases.
Hit the gas!
Asphalt 9: Legends
Free w/IAPs at Google Play Store
Asphalt 9: Legends is the latest entry in this celebrated mobile racing game franchise and brings more of the frantic arcade racing action you love. The Asphalt series has always skipped over all pretensions of realism — outside of the photo-realistic car renders — to provides an over-the-top, high-octane experience with all the fixings. Players can work their way through career mode where you unlock new rides and upgrades for your garage and cars, or take the competition online in multiplayer. The incredibly polished graphics and outstanding soundtrack make Asphalt 9 an adrenaline trip you won't soon forget.
A brand new boarding adventure
Alto's Odyssey
Free w/IAPs at Google Play Store
Odyssey is a beautiful game that features simple controls and endless replayability. The game builds off of the physics introduced in Alto's Adventure and feels quite familiar except for Odyssey swapping the snowy mountain setting for a diverse setting that transitions from desert dunes to lush temple sections. Odyssey has introduced some fun new gameplay mechanics including hot air balloons, wall riding, and dust devils that will toss your character into the air. It all comes together to feel like a unique adventure, taking the best parts from the first game and adding new ways for linking tricks and exploring the slopes.
Jump right into the game
Modern Strike Online: PRO FPS
Free w/IAPs at Google Play Store
Modern Strike Online offers a pure online FPS experience packed with many great quick match options available. You earn experience as you play that levels you up to unlock new game modes. There are six game modes in total which include most of the standard fare you'd expect — free-for-all, team deathmatch, seek and destroy, and a hardcore mode. In-game currency can be bought via in-app purchases or earned via daily rewards, crates and generally kicking ass, which can then be spent on new weapons, armor, and accessories for your character. There's a decent amount of customization available for kitting, with over 30 types of weapons available to rent or buy.
Real-time battles
Clash Royale
Free w/IAPs at Google Play Store
Grown tired of Clash of Clans gameplay but still love the characters and world that the folks at Supercell have created? Clash Royale is for you! You get to unlock and upgrade classic troops, build your battle deck, and take on real-life opponents in real-time battles. Join or create a clan and share cards and strategies with friends from around the world. You'll need to employ quick thinking and genuine strategy to win, so you'll be compelled to keep tweaking your decks by working in new cards. This game's been around for a few years now, so there's a ton of grinding and chest unlocks ahead for newer players to rank up and unlock all the best troop cards and whatnot.
Top-down shooter bliss
Sky Force Reloaded
Free w/IAPs at Google Play Store
Sky Force Reloaded is one of those pure games that's just a blast to play. It's a top-down shooter that harkens back to the classic retro genre with gorgeous graphics and challenging gameplay. Blast your way through nine action-packed missions as you take down enemies while dodging the attacks they send back your way. Collect stars and upgrade your ships as you try to earn all medals on each mission at each difficulty level. It's an incredibly well-polished game from a storied and celebrated franchise, making Sky Force Reloaded an absolute must-play.
The best things in life aren't free... except for these games
Who doesn't love something free? On the Google Play Store, the most popular games are almost always free to play, with the developers earning financial support through ads or in-app purchases.
The games we've highlighted offer the best gameplay and value for your time. These aren't endless grinds like you'll find with other free-to-play games and are quite fun to play. Our top recommendation is Call of Duty Mobile, a near-perfect adaptation of the Call of Duty franchise for smartphones and one of the best games you can play on Android.
Another free game that we're currently obsessed with is Mindustry. It's an open-ended sandbox tower defense game where you must build and manage a sophisticated supply chain for gathering and using your resources all while defending your base against enemy attacks. It's an incredibly polished game with great replay value, and no ads or in-app purchases to distract you.
