RELIEF: Blizzard cancels World Of Warcraft mobile game
For many, the term “gamer” immediately brings to mind a person playing on a PC or console. However, avid gamers are not limited to these devices. Sure, gaming consoles and PCs are designed specifically for playing high-end games, but there is another way to join the community. These are mobile games. Although it may come as a surprise, the mobile gaming community is already large and growing. In addition, mobile games are much more accessible than many other platforms, since all you have to do is open the Play Store and press the “download” button to gain access to certain titles.
However, Android devices are notorious for having too many games available in the Play Store, to the point of becoming overwhelming. Choosing a good game can therefore be difficult, as reviews are not always reliable. That's why we decided to put together a list of the best mobile games to try on your Android device. These games cover a wide range of genres to suit everyone's preferences and offer something for everyone. Without further ado, we present to you twelve of the best mobile games for your Android device. Of course, this is not a ranking.
12. Clash of Clans
Developed by Supercell, this Finnish developer offers us a fun mobile strategy game available on Android and IOS. This online multiplayer game takes place in a fantasy world where players can join or form communities called “clans”. From there, you can train your communities' troops and attack other players' clans to gain resources. There are four types of resources: gold, elixir, dark elixir and gems. If you want to upgrade your traps, defenses, and buildings, gold and elixir will do the trick. To improve your spells and your troops, you will use dark elixir. The game's premium currency will consist of gems, which must therefore be used wisely.
If you don't want to play multiplayer, a single-player campaign is available in the game. However, as the game mainly focuses on building teams, this campaign is only for earning gold and elixir. You'll attack fortified goblin villages at different levels, but it won't be as complex as multiplayer campaigns. When it comes to multiplayer clans, the minimum number of players needed to form one is thirty. Overall, the game received positive reviews. However, some feel that players have a strong incentive to purchase gems to continue improving their clans.
11. Call of Duty: Mobile
This mobile FPS game was brought to us by TiMi Studio Group, Tencent Games and Activision and is one of the biggest franchises in the gaming industry. So it's only natural that we get a free-to-play mobile version of the game for IOS and Android. Released in 2019, the game had over 270 million downloads a year later, generating $480 million. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that this game was included in the list. As a multiplayer game, players can choose from different modes, including ranked and unranked matches. Some of the most popular modes include Frontline, Search and Destroy, Domination, Hardpoint, Gunfight, and Team Deathmatch.
Other limited and special multiplayer modes allow for exciting matches, including 2v2, Undead Attack, Prop Hunt, and Rapid Fire. In addition, it is possible to participate in the Battle Royale mode, which brings together up to 100 players. A month after release, we also got a playable Zombie mode in Endless Survival and Raid mode. In terms of currency, you can earn “credits” by playing campaigns, while “COD Points” must be purchased in the in-game store. But, of course, purchasing COD Points is not a necessity .
10. Asphalt 9: Legends

You are probably very familiar with the Asphalt racing game franchise. And while there are plenty of fun episodes, many will agree that Asphalt 9: Legends is the best in the franchise yet. Released by Gameloft in 2018, this game is available on all platforms, including consoles, Microsoft Windows, Android and IOS. As the fifteenth installment, this version of the game has many updated features and better graphics than its predecessors. So while the overall gameplay is quite similar to what we experienced with previous Asphalt titles, we can see a significant change in the design and graphics. Additionally, there are a total of 207 cars currently available in the game which arrived with the latest April 2023 update.
As in the previous system, each car belongs to a specific class which details its performance and quality. Class D is the lowest, Class C the highest, followed by Classes B, A, and S, which are the highest performing and rarest cars in the game. All players start with a Class D car, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, and can unlock other vehicles as they progress. Although it is primarily a single-player game, you have access to an online multiplayer mode. Additionally, you can choose to play the campaign or participate in Club, daily and seasonal events. Each of these events will have you participating in a series of smaller events.

As such, it is available on IOS and Android and ended up being the third highest-grossing mobile game as of December 2022, when it amassed over $9 billion and saw over a billion downloads. As the second most played mobile title, it's no surprise that the game spawned New State Mobile, a separate game set in the PUBG universe. Development of the game lasted four months and teams of specialists from around the world contributed to its success.
In terms of gameplay, we can expect something similar to PlayerUnknown Battlegrounds. Before starting, players can form teams of two or four people or play alone. Additionally, you can select your map and specific game mode before starting the match. From there, a plane flies over the selected map and players can choose where they want to parachute. Once the game starts, it can last up to 33 minutes. Of course, you don't have any weapons and must find and secure them yourself.

It's a single-player and multiplayer game, with turn-based gameplay to give it a similar feel to its RPG predecessors.
With eleven classes filled with heroes with unique cards and abilities, these powers help define certain class archetypes. To begin, each player will choose a hero from one of these eleven classes and use a deck of up to 30 cards from their collection. The objective is to reduce the opponent's health to zero.
