Games for Android. The best games on Android Review of the best games on Android

Hello, dear readers. The Gamebizclub team is in touch, and we continue to talk about genres of games for PCs, consoles, tablets and smartphones. In all published ratings, we paid attention to PC games, and today we will move on to a new and practically unexplored segment and tell you about the best games on Android.

Mobile games have literally burst into the life of every person who has a smartphone or any other gadget with a large screen. Every day, developers and publishers publish new games on Google Play (formerly Play Market), come up with something interesting and introduce special features to attract the attention of users. That is, you and me.

There are so many games on Android that you can spend hours sorting through them trying to find something really worthwhile, without viruses and intrusive advertising, with an interesting plot and game modes without the Internet and over the network.

Important: we recommend downloading games only from Google Play and not trusting apk files downloaded for free from the Internet. All games on Google Play are virus-free. If you download and install an apk file from an unverified source, you may get a virus - as a result, attackers can steal passwords from bank cards, email and other accounts. Or store important data on one device and play on another - something like this.

So that you don’t waste precious time, we have prepared a rating of the most popular Android games of different genres, made a short review of each game and added system requirements along with important characteristics. In our top 30 we included games that we like, plus those that have received good ratings and reviews from players, so feel free to select the coolest applications for your devices, install and enjoy the process. And now to the point, starting with the outsiders.

From this article you will learn:

30. World War Heroes

You will find yourself on the battlefields in the role of an ordinary soldier, you will use the weapons and equipment of that time to achieve victory. According to the developers, the main mode is battles against other players. In total, World War Heroes has 7 modes, and they all take place in different formats.

Use weapons, think with your head and plan ahead - then you will win. In online battle, shoot from tanks and cannons, drive jeeps along the front line. And in between battles, improve your weapons and equipment. It is a free game on Google Play and has been downloaded by over a million people.

29. Gangstar Rio: City of Saints

We decided to give twenty-ninth place to Gangstar Rio: City of Saints, an action-thriller about gangster wars in Rio de Janeiro. In appearance and graphics, the game is very similar to GTA, and the plot is appropriate.

You will find yourself in the role of a member of a criminal gang that is beginning to take over the illegal side of life in a large city. You will start from the very bottom, you will shoot and rob, complete tasks and earn money, rise through the ranks in the crime syndicate - and so on until the character becomes the main mafioso in Rio.

Doesn't remind you of anything? Mafia 3, GTA 5 - but only on Android, with appropriate graphics quality and almost perfect gameplay. After all, smartphones are not well suited for such games, so sometimes problems arise with controls. Gangstar Rio: City of Saints is protected from hacking and copying, and costs 529 rubles on Google Play. Want something similar, but free? Install Gangstar Vegas - everything is the same, only in a different city.

28. Wild Blood

In twenty-eighth place is Wild Blood - a newfangled action game about knights who for some reason look like characters from Lineage 2 and other MMORPGs. But this, on the contrary, gives the game a special and unique style, making it recognizable.

In short: the action takes place during the time of King Arthur, who suddenly began to be jealous of his wife for the faithful knight Lancelot. King Arthur's sister Morgana took advantage of this weakness and, with the help of her brother's blood, opened a portal to a parallel world. From there, a horde of demons controlled by Morgana poured in, with the help of which she quickly usurped the throne.

You will find yourself in the role of Lancelot, who, despite the disfavor of the king, must vacate the throne and return legitimate power to the throne. Take a sword, shield, spear and other piercing and cutting weapons of destruction and go to establish justice. In the story, you have access to many interesting missions and impressive fights, but there is also multiplayer. In online mode you can fight in 4 vs 4 format. Everything is very cool and spectacular, so feel free to download and install - the game costs 529 rubles on Google Play.

27. Into the Dead 2

In the next twenty-seventh position is Into the Dead 2, a zombie apocalypse survival simulator made in the newfangled runner or runner format. Here your main task is to run as far as possible and not let the zombies catch you. If a zombie grabs the main character, it will immediately eat his brains-and-and-and...

Zombie games are a popular category. We advise you to look at ours and download something to your computer. Or install Into the Dead 2 on your smartphone and run from zombies until the battery in your gadget is completely drained. There is no other way, because the game is exciting.

Stunning graphics along with dynamic gameplay and a simple plot, a wide variety of zombies and methods of destroying them, various events and modes literally do not allow you to tear yourself away from the smartphone screen. The main thing is that it is free on Google Play, but sometimes the advertising is annoying.

26. Star Wars: Battlegrounds (Arena of Force)

Strategy is a rare genre for smartphones, but Star Wars: Battlegrounds fits almost perfectly into this format. You will assemble a dream team of Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Chewbacca and other characters and fight with an almost identical team controlled by another person.

There are a total of 60 heroes in the game, which are not so easy to get into your team. To do this you need to win the battle or get an achievement. Each character has unique skills and abilities that help tip the scales in their favor. You can also develop and strengthen your team with the help of rewards received after successful fights.

Star Wars: Battlegrounds is guaranteed to please fans of Star Wars, fans of strategy and dynamic action. Everyone should download it, especially since it is free and liked by more than 10 million users from different countries.

25. Minion Rush: Despicable Me

Minion Rush is firmly in the next twenty-fifth position - a wonderful game for children and teenagers, based on the famous cartoons Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2. In fact, this is a runner where you, in the role of one of the minions, will run along the path and dodge obstacles on her.

The whole game consists of small races that take place in the main locations of the original cartoons: Gru's Laboratory, the City, Minion Beach, El Macho's Lair, the Volcano and other places known to fans of Despicable Me. During the passage, you will collect coins and bananas, which you will later use improve the abilities of minions and buy them equipment.

And during the races you can do all sorts of nasty things - shoot down pursuers, play dirty tricks on local residents, and much more. For each nasty thing you do, you will receive separate points, which at the end of the game will show which of you is a villain - a real evil genius or a cardboard plush villain out of a box. We recommend Minion Rush to all children and adults. And we move on.

24. Angry Birds 2

Our list continues with Angry Birds 2 - the continuation of the legendary arcade game about the war between angry birds and clumsy pigs. You've most likely already seen this game or at least heard about it. So, compared to the first part, the second looks a little better - the developers added different features to the gameplay, new bosses and added unique abilities to each bird.

There are a total of 1370 levels in the game, and if you get tired of it, go to online mode and compete with real people. This is much more interesting than shooting at the pigs' buildings an infinite number of times and destroying the houses of the pig bosses. If you defeat your opponents in the game, you will receive gems and pearls, move to the major leagues and become one of the champions.

In addition, the game has many more interesting modes and a mountain of all sorts of little things that make the gameplay even more interesting. That's why they love it - it's free on Google Play and more than 50 million people have downloaded it.

23. Dead Trigger 2

Next up is Dead Trigger 2, a cool first-person shooter about a zombie apocalypse, survival and endless hacking, released back in 2013. Almost five years have passed since its release, and the game is still relevant, and it is not surprising: the exciting plot and gameplay keep you in suspense, it is very difficult to tear yourself away from the game.

As in the first part, you will find yourself in the very epicenter of the zombie apocalypse, you will make your way to the safe zone, destroy the walking dead in batches and challenge the strongest bosses.

Despite the years that have passed since its release, the game is constantly being updated. The developers are adding new storylines, developing the story in real time, introducing new locations and types of weapons. In general, Dead Trigger 2 is a great game for fans of shooters and zombie apocalypse. It's free on Google Play and has 10 million fans. Everyone play.

22. Car Driving School Simulator

We decided to give twenty-second place to Car Driving School Simulator - this is a very useful driving simulator for the city and the highway. Here you will find yourself driving a foreign car in a large and busy city, you will find yourself in the most common situations: traffic jams, unregulated intersections, emergency situations, and so on.

You must strictly follow the traffic rules, follow signs and traffic lights, give way to pedestrians and give way to special vehicles. There are many tasks in the city where you will show all your parking skills - sometimes you will have to stop in the most unexpected places.

Car Driving School Simulator also has a multiplayer mode. Turn on Wi-Fi and start free driving mode around the city, where other people are also racing. It's cool and interesting, you can compete and come up with something interesting. The game is free on Google Play and has over 1 million downloads.

21. Assassin's Creed Pirates

Next up is Assassin’s Creed Pirates – an excellent action game about pirates, a tough boarding game and a gunners’ duel. It's not hard to guess that the action takes place in the Caribbean, and you will find yourself in the role of captain of a pirate ship.

You will recruit a crew, purchase supplies and weapons, explore the ocean, look for treasure and fight other pirates. Along the way you will meet assassins and Templars, take part in their long-standing confrontation, meet Blackbeard, Ben Hornigold and other notorious thugs, and find the treasures of La Buse.

Assassin's Creed Pirates is a free game on Google Play and has been downloaded by over 50 million users. There is Russian voice acting and some paid content. For fans of pirates and sea romance, we highly recommend this game.

20. Time Crash

In twentieth place we have Time Crash - an epic runner with non-standard gameplay about parkour. Here you will find yourself in the role of a powerful super agent, capable of moving very quickly. He must outrun his opponents and prevent them from reaching the finish line in front of him.

In Time Crash you will greatly train your reaction - you will run on a flat surface, cross a maze, slide and use acceleration, run along walls, knock down doors. There will be many different obstacles on your way, including some dangerous to your health. And each level will be more difficult, and by the end of the game the passage will turn into something almost impossible.

The main feature of the game is constant updates. There are 15 hand-made locations available in the storyline. But every day the game generates a new level to complete in endless mode, and the results of its completion are published in the global list. You can get there too, fortunately there are not so many competitors - the full version of Time Crash for 199 rubles was downloaded from Google Play by 50 thousand people.

19. Don't Starve: Pocket Edition

Our list continues with Don’t Starve: Pocket Edition, a survival simulator with an unusual plot. Here you will not meet crowds of zombies and will not shoot in all directions; the game is not about that at all. Imagine that during the day you can do whatever you want, in the evening you get ready for the night, and at night a terrible monster comes for you. You can't defeat him, but he's afraid of fire. What to do in this case? That's right, light more fires and don't let them go out.

In Don’t Starve (from English - don’t starve), your hero will not only get food, sleep and light fires. In addition to the traditional indicators of life and satiety, he has nerves. And if the nerves cannot withstand the tension created by the monster coming at night, anything can happen to the hero, for example, other monsters will begin to appear.

Naturally, the main character must survive in harsh conditions and find a way home, avoiding falling into the clutches of a monster along the way. This is very difficult, but still possible to do. The game is somewhat similar to popular TV shows about survival in the wild, only here there is also mysticism.

The price of Don’t Starve: Pocket Edition on Google Play is 309 rubles, we awarded it nineteenth place for its original idea and cool execution.

18. Hill Climb Racing 2

Eighteenth place goes to Hill Climb Racing 2, a continuation of the mega-popular first part of Hill Climb Racing about racing and competitions. The game contains a description of various types of tuning and improvement of the car, the actions of the pilot Bill Newton and much more, but this is not the main thing.

In Hill Climb Racing 2 you will simply race a car, compete with other racers, upgrade your car and improve your results even more. The main character will not calm down until he breaks all the laws of physics and flies far, far away in his car.

The game is free on Google Play and has been downloaded 50 million times - people really like it. And we recommend it too.

17. Plants vs. Zombies 2

We couldn't help but include Plants vs. in our rating. Zombies 2 is an epic tower defense arcade game from PopCap Games. The Android version continues the plot of the first part, and at the same time its gameplay and plot are at a higher and more professional level.

You will lead an army of plants and fight a legion of zombies who really want to uproot all the flowers and other seedlings and simply eat your brains. Plants will protect you, the main thing is to establish competent defense and not allow at least one dead thing to reach the border of your field.

In this part you will receive new plants that have unique capabilities. You will also be transported to Ancient Egypt, the Distant Future and other locations that were not in the first part. Plants vs. Zombies 2 is free and very popular, with more than 100 million people downloading the game on Google Play.

16. MORTAL KOMBAT X

In sixteenth place is MORTAL KOMBAT X - the continuation of the legendary saga about brutal fights and martial arts. In this part you will meet the main characters again: Sub-Zero, Kitana, Johnny Cage and others. There will also be new fighters with their own stories, such as Jax's daughter named Jacqueline Briggs.

You will find yourself in a world of bloody battles, choose a hero and do nothing but fight. At the same time, the hero can be upgraded - increase parameters, discover new talents and special moves, adjust his appearance and much more. You will also see the next continuation of the Mortal Kombat story and fight in the arena against other people. Powerful and dynamic fights await you, free on Google Play.

15. FIFA Football

In fifteenth place is FIFA Football, a simulator about the coolest sport, football, developed by Electronic Arts. The game was created under the official FIFA brand, so it features more and less significant teams and players from the world's leading championships. Do you want to have Messi, Ronaldo, Boateng, Hummels and Zobnin in your team? Install FIFA Football - it's free.

You can recruit almost any football players from different leagues into your team. Choose from 16,000 players, create a team in Ultimate Team mode, play matches with other people and see who understands football better. FIFA has an online mode. In general, the Android version of FIFA turned out to be very realistic: football players look like themselves in real life, it is unrealistically difficult for weak teams to get into the Champions League, the grass is green, the ball is round, and so on. We recommend this game to all football fans.

14. Geometry Dash

In fourteenth place is Geometry Dash, a mega-popular free arcade game released in 2013. At first glance, it may seem that it is very simple: pixel graphics, a minimum of details, some squares and rectangles. But look, it's been downloaded 100 million times on Google Play. Moreover, most of the downloads occurred in 2014 and 2015.

Despite its simplicity, Geometry Dash is very addictive. You must use the cube and other means to reach the end of the level, avoiding obstacles and flying through dangerous areas. In many cases, logic and speed of reaction will be required - everything happens very quickly, so sometimes there is no time to think.

The speed of the gameplay is addictive and does not let you tear yourself away. It is enough to launch the game once, and you will not be able to tear yourself away from it. There is no network mode here, but there are two versions - Lite with advertising, and Full edition without advertising for 109 rubles. The full edition has been downloaded by more than 1 million people, it has all the levels and everything works stably.

13. Modern Combat 5: eSports FPS

In thirteenth place is Modern Combat 5: eSports FPS - a classic first-person shooter about war and combat, the plot of which is based on the motives of the Third World War. The developers say that this is the first game of its kind where you can create a team and fight with other people from different countries. And all this on a smartphone.

For fans of single-player mode, several missions are available, during which you need to destroy the main terrorist who threatens the entire Earth. And in online mode, you will find yourself on the battlefield as part of a squad, destroying the enemy, capturing control points, completing squad missions and receiving achievements.

Network mode is the main feature of the game. Here you can create a team of 8 people, each will choose a suitable fighter class (Assault, Sniper, Scout, Support, and so on), get everyone together and arrange a dynamic online battle with other teams. That's why it's called eSports, which means cybersports.

Modern Combat 5: eSports FPS is a new free game that has already been downloaded more than 50 million times. More than 2 million people voted for it on Google Play, and very little time has passed since its release.

12. Subway Surfers

We decided to give twelfth place to Subway Surfers, an adventure simulator about running on a railroad. This game is perfect for boys and girls, and also for adults. It doesn't force you and trains your reaction.

In the story, a young man paints graffiti on a wall near the railway and is noticed by a policeman who immediately tries to grab him. And the guy begins to run away from him, jumping over ruts and technical structures, dodging various obstacles, climbing onto cars and dodging trains rushing towards him.

Along the way, the guy (and then other heroes will be available) will collect coins and bonuses, which he can later spend on buying hoverboards and other power-ups. If he collects enough coins, he can buy (attract to his side) other heroes, buy new clothes, and much more. But some of these bonuses are only for real money.

Subway Surfers has already been installed by 500 million people - it is one of the most popular games in the world. Join us too, it’s free, funny, cartoonish and great entertainment.

11. Shadow Fight 3

Eleventh place goes to Shadow Fight 3 – the continuation of the hit Shadow Fight 2, with new graphics and gameplay. This is an epic action brawler released at the end of 2017, where you will shred numerous opponents into thousands of small pieces using a variety of weapons and hand-to-hand combat techniques.

The third part of Shadow Fight is like Mortal Kombat. You will meet different NPC heroes, fight in a thousand battles with the enemy from the Dynasty and Legion camps, and go all the way from a simple legionnaire to a powerful lord of shadows.

According to the plot, you will find yourself in the center of a confrontation between three great factions and become the pebble that will break the millstones of history. Events will develop rapidly, but you won’t notice it – the gameplay and graphic design are so captivating. In the third part of Shadow Fight, there was more realism, the movements of the main character became smoother, and abilities and special techniques received more vibrant animation.

There is also a network mode - you can take part in rating battles with other players and find out whose kung fu is stronger. The game is free and so cool that you can play it even on the subway or on a long road until the battery is completely drained.

The top ten is ahead. If you notice, we publish the rankings in order from worst to best. But this does not mean that in reality those games that we considered less cool are really bad. There are millions of games on Google Play, from which we tried to choose the best. Therefore, even the 30th place in our rating deserves attention, if only because we recommend it and no one pays us for this recommendation.

10. World of Warships Blitz

We give tenth place in advance to World of Warships Blitz, a free online game about naval combat on ships from the Great Patriotic War. The developer is the same as on the heavier PC version - Wargaming.net. So now fans of large, powerful and clumsy ships can safely download and launch World of Warships Blitz on their gadget.

I must say that we got a little ahead of the locomotive and put a completely new game in tenth place. But we are sure that she will be at the top for a long time.

Powerful battleships, heavy cruisers, light destroyers and clumsy aircraft carriers of the 20th century await you. You will find yourself in a battle where ships of the Russian Empire and the USSR, Japan, USA, Germany and other nations that fought in the First and Second World Wars are taking part. You will learn to shoot and hit the target, take lead and make adjustments, sink dozens of enemy ships and become a real naval commander. So go ahead - to victories.

9.Grand Theft Auto 3

In ninth place we have Grand Theft Auto 3 from Rockstar Games. In general, the entire Grand Theft Auto series can rightfully be declared the best of all time. All parts are very reminiscent of real life, except that the main characters are not ordinary people, but criminals.

In GTA 3, you will find yourself in the role of Claude, a criminal who finds himself at the center of a criminal showdown taking place in the fictional city of Liberty City (the city of Liberty, translated from English). According to the plot, you will join the Italian mafiosi, complete tasks and move up the career ladder of the mafia clan, destroy competitors, race cars and run away from the police. In general, a classic GTA, neither take nor take away.

In the mobile version, the developers have increased the quality of graphics to the HD level and tried to simplify controls. Compared to the PC version, controlling the character is not very convenient - sometimes it can be difficult without three fingers. On Google Play GTA 3 costs 379 rubles, but there are a lot of apk files of various modifications on the Internet. The main thing is not to stumble upon viruses.

8. World of Tanks Blitz

In eighth place we put World of Tanks Blitz, a free online game about tank battles during the Great Patriotic War. WoT Blitz, like other games, smoothly moved from the segment of powerful and demanding PC games to the segment of mobile applications.

In World of Tanks Blitz you will plunge into the world of large-scale and dynamic tank battles, go from green beginner to tank ace, and discover a whole world of light, medium and heavy combat vehicles.

The game presents real samples of military equipment of the USSR, Germany, USA, Japan, France and other countries that took part in World War II. The battles take place in historical places where large-scale tank battles took place in 1941-1945. Important actions in battle are accompanied by Russian voice acting, which very well dilutes the atmosphere of a global war.

One of the advantages we highlight is that the game is completely free. There is premium content in the form of rare tanks, but they do not upset the balance of the game and do not provide tangible advantages, but they make the gameplay even more interesting. On the downside, the app uses a lot of battery power, so after one or two hours of tank battles, your phone will run out of power. Keep an eye on this. And we move on.

7. Need for Speed: Most Wanted

Seventh place goes to Need for Speed: Most Wanted - a game about racing, street racing, drifting, and, like GTA, also moved from PC to mobile devices. But in the mobile version, the physics and gameplay have changed: now the car can be scratched, glass and headlights broken, and broken to the point where it almost stops moving.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted is about exciting night rides at high speed, competitions with other street racers, and escapes from the police. And first of all, these are cool cars: Dodge Challenger, Porsche 911, Carrera S, Maserati GranTurismo and others are available in the game. Cars can be tuned, installed with all sorts of upgrades such as alloy wheels, spoilers, bumpers and neon lights, installed with reinforced engines, nitrous oxide, and airbrushing.

On Google Play, Need for Speed: Most Wanted costs 379 rubles, and there are many free apk files and mods for it on the Internet. What to choose is up to you; we recommend taking the licensed version.

6.Township

Sixth place goes to Township, a simulator about urban planning and farming, economics and entrepreneurship. Outwardly, it resembles SimCity and other construction simulators, but, unlike PC games, it can easily run on Android and iOS devices. It will also be interesting to children and adults - all because it has light and unobtrusive graphics, interesting and exciting gameplay.

In Township there are no special tasks or missions that need to be completed, but there are many different events that bring various bonuses. All that is required of you is to build and develop your settlement. There are many different buildings and structures in the game; the settlement can be expanded and improved so that after a while it will turn into a large city.

Despite its simplicity, the game is addictive. Look at the comments on Google Play - people admire it, offer the developers their own options for improving the gameplay, discuss something and share life hacks.

Township is a free game, but, like all Android games, it has a special store with the possibility of in-game purchases for rubles and other currencies. This opportunity only affects the speed of development of your settlement and does not affect the game balance in any way, so everyone has a chance to become the best, you just need to try.

5. Clash of Clans

We suddenly decided to give fifth place to Clash of Clans, a multiplayer strategy in a cartoon style about war and building your village. Millions of people from different countries play Clash of Clans: they enthusiastically hack, build villages, upgrade their clan and the builder’s village, collect cups and participate in tournaments. For some reason they all really liked her...

You can play against artificial intelligence in single player mode or against other people in multiplayer mode. Among the innovations - with the advent of the builder's village, a new type of battle has appeared, where a simultaneous attack occurs: you attack your opponent and at the same time he attacks you.

To successfully attack and defend, you will have to strengthen the village - build defensive structures, discover and improve different types of troops, learn how to properly attack and defend the village, and much more. But this is interesting - the same people are against you, and it depends only on you who will be the winner. Here you can speak Russian, communicate in English with representatives of other countries, look at Asian hieroglyphs and “admire” the speech of our neighbors in the CIS.

Clash of Clans is free on Google Play, but it has paid features that have almost no effect on the game balance. The downside is that to become a top player, you will need either 2-3 years of leisurely development, or unrealistic financial investments. For example, our editor-in-chief has an almost top account with a town hall level 11, and he has been pumping it for almost three years - that’s a very long time.

4. Minecraft

In fourth place is Minecraft, a survival simulator about a huge pixel world that is completely at your disposal. Unlike other games where you don't have complete freedom of action, here you can do whatever you want. The world consists of cube blocks that can be taken out, modified, made into tools, built a house, and so on.

Minecraft is real craft in its purest form. The process is very exciting, because you can completely remake an entire location the way you like. Do you want to build a palace? Use your wits and try to implement your idea - everything will work out.

Minecraft has two modes. The first one is for you to learn how to build and create different things from cubes. And the second mode is hardcore or survival, as you like. In the created location, zombies or other monsters suddenly appear, who are really eager to tear the main character into a thousand small cubes. And here you will have to survive using the skills you learned in the first mode.

Minecraft can be played online with friends. If you have Wi-Fi or unlimited internet on your smartphone, start an online match and play for fun. The price on Google Play is 529 rubles, the game has been downloaded by more than 10 million people.

3. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

GTA Vice City is very popular - more than a million downloads, HD graphics on par with other popular applications, and the coolest gameplay make it a leader in the mobile segment.

An open world, an exciting plot, convenient controls with support for wireless joysticks and USB gamepads - what more do you need? On Google Play GTA Vice City costs 379 rubles, which is not so much for the licensed version. And pirated versions do not have an online mode and Rockstar support, so we are in favor of purchasing a license.

2. Terraria

Silver goes to Terraria, an adventure RPG with 2D pixel graphics that has proven very popular among smartphone and tablet owners. All the interest in the game arose because of the great variability: after starting, a huge world is generated for you, which you can explore, where you can create objects, build houses and other buildings, and fight monsters.

Terraria is somewhat similar to Minecraft - here you will do a lot of crafting. But at the same time, it has more different monsters that are not so easy to defeat. They drop various things: skins, ingots, rare ingredients, which are also needed for crafting. The game has very dangerous monsters, bosses and more than 2,000 different types of weapons. Therefore, there is no time to be bored - forward to adventure.

There are two versions on Google Play - paid and free. Only the first five levels are available in the free version, while the paid version costs 319 rubles. So you can try it first, and if you like it, buy the full version.

1. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Gold deservedly goes to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The epic action game about the adventures of the black CJ and the gang war in the big city smoothly moved from PC to Android, which made millions of fans happy. The mobile version has better graphics, more cool cars and several more storylines.

The Android version of GTA San Andreas is pleasant to play: convenient controls, several modes of walking, running, aiming and driving a car, the graphics do not slow down and are automatically adjusted for each device. As a bonus, you won't lose your saved game because the app syncs with the Rockstar Games cloud service.

And the price of all this beauty on Google Play is 529 rubles. And we can say for sure that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is worth the money.

Let's sum it up

We tried to include the maximum number of games and made the rating interesting for children and teenagers, and indeed for everyone who has smartphones on Anrdoid. Many games were not included in the rating - it is not rubber after all.

The main trend that can be seen now is that you have to pay for all decent games. This is the position of developers who have spent a lot of time and resources porting or developing the Android version of the game. Therefore, we are for purchasing licensed games, and do not support hackers who make free versions of the most popular applications.

That's all for today, stay in touch, bye-bye everyone.

The best of the Google Play Store in one useful, dangerously downloadable list.

To be honest, the Google Play Store can leave you confused. All these ratings, lists and tempting icons that just scream: “Spend real money on us!” But what are some of the best Android games you can play right now? Good news: Almost all the games have made their way to Android at the same time as iPhone, so you definitely won't miss out on anything big or an indie gem.

This list is a complete mix of free games - with in-app purchases mentioned as appropriate - and paid apps that deserve your attention and likes. So, from basement simulators to cat games to deep adventure games, here are the best Android games to get your screen dirty.

Genre: Match three + RPG Match three meets RPG

Google Play

If you want to build a boat, go ahead. You Must Build a Boat puts you on a tiny boat with a skeleton and a zombie as your crew - but sooner or later, you get to captain your own cruise ship. Like 10000000, it's a fast-paced match-3 puzzle game where you have to match entire rows and columns instead of individual squares.

But you don't have much time as your explorer plows his way through a simple 2D dungeon at the top of the screen; you will have to put together combos with superhuman strength to help him resist the huge variety of monsters (which you will one day be able to recruit into your team). Don't worry, you won't want to walk on the plank.

Genre: Adventures

Google Play

We've previously rated Machinarium highly, even calling it one of the best steampunk games ever released, and we still stand by our previous recommendations. In addition to an interactive and slick touch interface that makes the point-and-click system work flawlessly, the dirty and brutal world of Machinarium gives you an immediate sense of place.

Just one look at this rough but beautiful world, and you begin to sympathize with the little robot hero, lost in this wasteland and searching for his beloved robot girl. This is one of those games that completely engages you and makes you want to put on a top hat with bells and whistles. Incredible work by Amanita Designs. And yes, you will be very, very drawn in.

But, almost immediately, everything goes off the rails. The screen begins to shake, colors change, and figures fly towards you faster and faster.

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, there are not only various “match three” and “angry birds” games here. 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 game modes here. 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 are talking 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 the 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

Lovers World of Tanks just a lot. 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.
