About
I will use this page to record/remember some of my favourite mobile phone games. I don't like games that have in-game ads', in-game purchases, pay-to-play or increasing wait times to build - which sadly is most games nowadays. That's why it's important to remember the ones that are actually good. I'm not a fan of racing games, my favourite genre is strategy - think Age of Empires and Populous - sadly they don't make anything that fun for mobile. But there are a few good ones. In order of preference, my favorite genres are probably:
- Turn-Based Strategy
- Live Action Strategy
- Tower Defence
- Role Play, and
- (unique) Puzzle games
Favorite Mobile Phone Games
Here's some favorite in order of preference.
Turn-Based Strategy
- Polytopia ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🟡 - Addictive, fun, simple take over the map with low polygon medieval units... Hexonia (4.5 stars) is similar and pretty good too,
- The Bonfire ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🟡 - Done so well. Wow.
- Rebuild 3: Gangs of Deadsville ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Lots of fun, exploring out, getting skilled people, and defending each turn... I played all the Rebuild series.
- Northgard ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ - Brilliant idea.
- Isle of Arrows ⭐⭐⭐⭐⬜ - Very imaginative, with random cards to play new tiles and expand the path.
Live Action Strategy
- Iron Marines ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I think there's been a couple of these.
- Door Kickers ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Great idea, planning out a police raid.
- Rusted Warfare: RTS ⭐⭐⭐⬜⬜ - Pretty fun, but only so many maps.
- Bad North: Jotunn Edition ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ - Challenging for sure, amazing idea.
- ??? ⭐⭐⭐⬜⬜ - Really fun, but campaign too short I feel.
Adventure
- Kingdom Two Crowns ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Fun 2D game, is more strategy than adventure, but you explore a few new islands, so that feels adventure-like. I needed a strategy guide to figure out how to win the game.
Tower Defence
- Kingdom Rush ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🟡 - All of them so fun.... Kingdom Rush OG, Kingdom Rush Frontiers, Kingdom Rush Origins, Kingdom Rush Vengeance... I hope they do more. Best tower defence game I've ever played for sure.
Role Play
- Crashlands ⭐⭐✨⬜⬜ - Long an involved, but good value.
Puzzle
- Monument Valley ⭐⭐⭐✨⬜ - Solid, interesting puzzle game... both versions were fun.
