With the advent of touchscreen smartphones and tablets, every person, regardless of age and type of activity, uses the opportunity to play games, choosing the most suitable genre for themselves. Many users love to play, but do not pay attention to other games of a particular genre. But the development of games does not stand still, and we can watch the release new game on various platforms (operating systems) daily. That is why we want to introduce you to various directions and genres. The popularity rating of the presented games is based on the opinions of experts and user reviews.
Initially, the Belarusian developer company Wargaming provided the opportunity to play tanks only on a PC or laptop. Now, to play it is enough to have mobile phone or tablet with Internet access. The attractiveness of this online game lies in the fact that you are not playing with bots, but with real people from different parts of the country and the globe as a whole. The main objective of World of Tanks is to destroy all enemy tanks or capture the base. Excellent graphics, easy controls, stunning and realistic sound effects will appeal to every shooter fan. The only downside is that a comfortable game requires considerable resources from a phone or tablet.
It has already become a classic and the new versions released are met with delight by users. Groups of various genres compose songs for this game, various modifications are released for them, and many websites and fan groups are dedicated to them. Considering that the task is not so complicated - go as far as possible and destroy the building, but it is truly colorful and original.
A recent innovation in the gaming world has excited almost everyone. In some countries, there have even been car accidents due to the desire to complete the mission. Although the game is based on old “motifs,” it managed to excite users from all over the world. The goal of the game is to search and catch Pokemon. And if you consider that it is designed for real-time search and with a real landscape, it is rightfully one of the best for mobile devices that currently exists.
The classic version of the game, which was originally created for PC, but also for Android OS this game has become a classic of the genre. A few years ago, no one could have imagined that it was possible to play your favorite game on a phone or tablet, with many locations, functions and possibilities.
The graphic and sound design is practically no different from the PC versions of the game. And the tasks are not much different from the versions on the computer.
This game can rightfully be called the founder of the entire “runner” genre. The main task is to escape from the aggressive guard along the carriages and between them. Along the way, you can collect gold coins, which can later be used to improve the characteristics of the main character.
There is no analogue of this game for PC; it was immediately created for mobile devices with Android OS. And after some time, users received a lot of similar games in this genre, where famous heroes act as the main characters. For example, owners of devices that run Android can enjoy a game where the main character is Spider-Man. But the constant leader of this genre remains Subway Surfers.
There are practically no users who have never played racing games. This genre has long won the hearts of millions. The whole Asphalt series of games is characterized by excellent graphics and beautiful special effects, a huge selection of cars that are unlocked by completing certain missions.
The latest versions feature more than 120 cars of various popular brands, and you can drive them in the most picturesque corners of the planet: Barcelona, Monte Carlo, London, etc.
Strategy games are one of the most popular genres. In them, sometimes haste will be the enemy if you don’t calculate your tactics a few steps ahead. One of the most striking and unusual representatives of this genre is Plague Inc.
The essence of this game is quite bloodthirsty: the user needs to spread a virus that can destroy the planet's population. A total of 19 scenarios are provided, depending on the choice of the virus that will destroy all living things. The user will have to develop technology so that the virus takes on the most deadly shape and spreads it throughout the globe.
The shooter genre was one of the first to appear. Just look at the game Doom, which managed to win the hearts of millions. Thanks to modern technologies, graphics and sound bring closer to greater realism.
Modern Combat 4 is currently the brightest representative of the first-person shooter genre. The main character, together with a group of soldiers, will have to perform certain tasks, which will only become more difficult as they progress. Also, the user can improve weapons and ammunition.
HearthStone combines several genres at once. It was created based on the most famous game Warcraft. The main goal is winning at cards. Each card has unique opportunities and strength. Also, there are unique characters who have individual characteristics, and depending on this, it is necessary to think through a strategy for victory.
This game managed to please all Warcraft fans.
This year it was released for the Android platform most popular game about the first one world war— Valiant Hearts: The Great War. Events begin to develop immediately after the assassination of the Austrian Duke Ferdinand in Sarajevo.
Colorful graphics, simple controls, excellent sound - these are the most important characteristics. The PC version of Valiant Hearts: The Great War managed to attract the attention of millions of users, and now you can play it on a mobile device for Android.
This list represents only a small part of the games that deserve special attention. But they are the ones that have currently become the most discussed among users and specialists. It is worth considering that it is impossible to single out this or that game in certain places, because every person likes this or that genre, as a result of which this TOP cannot be presented in the form of a rating with certain places games in it.

1. Clash Royale

The game is so popular that it constantly falls into the “Most Downloaded Apps” category, and it has spawned countless clones.
The reason for its success lies in the fact that the Finnish studio essentially invented a new genre for smartphones, combining the best from all available areas. There is a collectible component from card games, tactical dynamic battles, and an RPG component that involves leveling up your cards.
The game recently released update 2.0, which introduced a new combat mode, daily and weekly quests. If you like dynamic battles and short gaming sessions, we highly recommend downloading this game for free from the Play Market.
2. Subway Surfers
The game has been tested by time and since its release, it gets better with each new update. Recently there was an update dedicated to Halloween, which added a new character, a skin for him and some other goodies. If you like the runner genre and want to run between trains in different locations, then this is an excellent choice. Subway Surfers is deservedly included in the top games for Android without the Internet.
3. Shadow Fight 2
In third position is a game from a domestic publisher. Shadow Fight 2 is a great combination of fighting game and RPG, with active and dynamic gameplay, during which it is impossible to get bored.

Hill Climb Racing 2 is viewed from the side, the graphics are 2D, but this makes the game no worse - the addictive gameplay does its job and literally doesn’t let you tear yourself away from the smartphone screen.
5. World of Tanks Blitz
The best Android games 2017 cannot do without a tank simulator from Wargaming. The original action game about tank battles on PC received such success and recognition that it acquired a younger brother on Android, which turned out to be no less successful.
“World of Tanks” doesn’t really need any introduction, it’s all the same exciting active tank battles on slightly smaller maps and with fewer players. Blitz inherited everything else from his older brother - clan battles, types of tanks and much, much more.
6. VR Thrills: Roller Coaster 360

Another universe ported from PC made it into our top paid games on Android. This game combines the best elements of sandboxes and RPGs, allowing players to get a ton of emotions from simply exploring the world and destroying various bosses.

3. Geometry Dash
A jaw-dropping arcade game that will tickle your nerves - this is how Geometry Dash can be described. The game is extremely fast and dynamic, very hardcore and therefore attracts many players from all over the world.
I would like to note the excellent soundtrack, which is separate for each level, and the level designer, where everyone can create something of their own and post it for other players to complete.

All players can go through a campaign lasting several hours, or try their hand at survival mode. Bonuses are constantly being awarded as you play to strengthen your heroes and towers, so why not start now?

In this review we will look at the best games for such a mobile platform as Android. Of course, these projects do not have such powerful graphics as their “big brothers” from consoles and PCs, but they have one significant advantage - they can be played anywhere. This is the same mobility - you can play somewhere on public transport, at work or in class, on a picnic and in many other places where, for objective reasons, a computer or console will not be available to you.
And believe me, here you will find not only various “match three” and “ angry Birds" Games for Android there are many, and among them there are very worthy ones. When you get to them, you will realize that you now have something to do even in the most boring places. But let’s finish with unnecessary talk and move on to our selection.
10. Call of Duty: Strike Team
Another part of the famous action game, this time for Android. The plot does not shine with originality - someone wants to unleash the Third World War, and we are part of a detachment (the same Strike Team) must stop this “someone” and popularly explain to him exactly where he is wrong. There are several here game modes. You can go through the story campaign, moving from one mission to another, or you can have fun in survival mode - you can’t win here, you can only hold out longer. In general, have fun as you see fit.
9. Machinarium
The next game we recommend is Machinarium, a very interesting and funny quest about a small robot in a harsh man-made world. Very nice drawing, interesting and logical riddles and even its own presentation of the plot - without a single word. And, surprisingly, everything is really clear. The game, like many others, first appeared on PC and then acquired its own portable version. If you are interested in riddles, or you like the quest genre, then Machinarium you will definitely like it.
8. Mortal Combat X
The tenth part of the famous bloody fighting game. It came out on consoles, came out on PC, and now there is a version for Android. New characters are unlocked as you progress, the controls are somewhat simplified (after all, it would be almost impossible to play without a joystick with a classic layout), the main emphasis is on special attacks. And so... All the same spectacular battles, the same bloodiness, and those same finishing moves we all love (yes, we're talking about about Fatality And Brutality). A simple and entertaining game in which it is so nice to let off steam.
7. Plants vs. Zombies
The theme of the walking and hungry dead is very popular. You might even say it's too popular. But most of the games on this topic are not particularly diverse. Until we get to Plants vs. Zombies. This project first appeared on PC and then moved to mobile platforms. If you are not familiar with this strange resemblance Tower Defense, we strongly recommend getting acquainted. The game is as crazy as one of its main characters, Crazy Dave. Moving from one level to the next, we fight off zombies with the help of very strange plants that can protect your home better than a platoon of special forces (sometimes GMOs are still useful). Various levels, dangerous opponents (zombies are also different here) and a lot of fun await you. To do this, just install the game on your phone.
6. Plague Inc.
Tell me, do you love people? If yes, then this game is not for you. There is no particular bloodiness here, you don’t have to exterminate crowds of enemies - no, everything is much worse here. We take on the role of a brilliant villain whose goal is to create a disease that can destroy humanity. No big deal, right? But, since people know how to fight diseases, you will have to carefully calculate your strategy. How your virus will spread, how it will infect and kill - all this will have to be thought out very carefully. And believe me, it won't be easy. But, if you succeed, the reward will not be long in coming - you will still destroy humanity. Although, first decide why you need it?
5. Worms 3
The famous worms are back again! Now you can again engage in completing missions, wars against the computer, or harsh PvP. If you are a representative of old school gamers (those who remember the Sega console and the first Pentium), then the name Worms sure tells you a lot. Once upon a time, people played this game all evening long. Squads of worms met in deadly battles, in which everything was used - bazookas and baseball bats, machine guns and grenades, dynamite and exploding sheep. Time has passed and now they are out Worms 3 on Android. And we can say with confidence that you definitely should try this game. You can’t talk about it – you can only try it yourself.
4. Minecraft: Pocket edition
One of the best sandboxes ever released. Simple and even primitive graphics, and incredibly varied gameplay. To say that there are many opportunities here is to say nothing. Build what you want, combine materials, change the world around you - in general, do everything that everyone loves this game for. Minecraft: Pocket edition - this is a version for Android, which is practically no different from classic version for PC, which means it will be just as interesting for you.
3. King's Bounty: Legions
This part of the famous "Royal Award" designed for users of social networks, as well as for Android and iOS owners. Why is it worth playing? Well it's a classic King's Bounty, only for mobile platforms and online games. All tactical and strategic possibilities are fully preserved here, you can’t fault the graphics either, and online battles only make the game even more interesting - after all, who would refuse good PvP? In general, if you like strategy games even a little, King's Bounty: Legions should be on your phone.
2. Heroes of Might and Magic 3 HD Edition
It’s interesting what can be said about Heroes of Might and Magic? And even more so - about their third part? After all, it is very difficult to find a person who plays games and has not heard about this particular game. Here we have a re-release with slightly improved graphics. The game has also been ported to mobile platforms such as Android. Describe gameplay third Heroes We won’t do it here - it’s about the same as explaining how to ride a bike. Firstly, it’s pointless (you won’t know until you try it), and secondly, it’s boring - after all, it’s best to try it yourself. And if for some reason you haven’t seen this wonderful game, then consider that you have a reason to play it.
1. World of Tanks: Blitz
There are just a lot of World of Tanks fans. Millions around the world. One of the most popular MMOs, albeit not without certain shortcomings. And so, not so long ago a game appeared World of Tanks: Blitz, designed specifically for owners of mobile platforms, in particular Android. Dynamic battles, interesting gameplay and good graphics (of course, for this platform). If you are a fan of tank battles, then you should definitely play this game, at least for evaluation - after all, this is perhaps the only arcade game of this type on Android. And it is quite possible that you will like it, because you can spend time here no worse than playing classic tank simulators.
