A selection of ten of the best and most popular games based on the iOS and Android platforms that you will definitely want to play. Games take first places in the rating of user likes.
Shadow Fight 2 Special Edition
The developers of the popular Shadow Fight fighting game series are not only busy on the third part, the beta testing of which is already available on Android, but also decide to whet the public interest by releasing a special edition on both major mobile platforms. The original Shadow Fight 2 received a new storyline, game features, additional content and of course fresh, albeit two-dimensional, graphics. The Special Edition add-on, distributed for money, was completely devoid of things that could annoy you. It's about advertising and energy. An additional storyline, new types of weapons and other minor additional features were also added. The result is a high-quality project that will brighten up the time while waiting for the third part.
Iron marines
Decent Mobile RTS is a rare guest on the App Store and Google Play. Although Iron Marines does not claim to be the game of the year, it definitely attracts attention. The toy vaguely resembles the first StarCraft. Means, not multiplayer. Unfortunately, he is not here. You will be asked to play for the side of the "terrans", well, in the sense of the infantry, and you will have to free the planet from the zerg. There are bases, shooting points, heavy and light units, as well as the most interesting thing - heroes. It turns out that in the exhaust we have a symbiosis of strategy, Tower Defense and even DOTA. It's hard to come off the game if you are a fan of the genre. Pumping heroes, units, strategy development, various tasks, real hardcore. Excellent graphics and not a trivial storyline catchy. This suggests that the money was well spent. I would like to pay special attention to hardcore. Already at the medium difficulty level, restarting will be in the order of things, not to mention the special missions with an asterisk and the difficult level. So the playability of the project is at its best. The main disadvantage is management - it is far from ideal. There is a donation in the game. Yes, the project is paid. And okay, if you want to get everything and pay right away, but there are some pretty cool heroes that cannot be unlocked without paying. It is sad.
Drilo
The game Drilo tells about the difficult, but rather addictive profession of miners. The mechanics of the game are tied to excavations for the extraction and collection of minerals, as well as earning funds. You will spend the money on pumping the drill and warehouse, as well as purchasing improvements. Your achievements will be displayed in an individual ranking. And as soon as you swing to an acceptable level and overcome the 10 kilometers mark, you can join a clan with a clan rating. After 80 kilometers of excavation, the tower mode will appear. Set up a tower in your city and swing it. The mechanics of the game 2048 are integrated here. The tower also allows you to rise in the rating, and there is a reward on each floor. I liked the fact that the developers regularly work on the project, improving and developing it in every possible way. For example, in the last update, there was support for augmented reality mode.
Modern combat versus
Gamelofts released a separate multiplayer mode. Battles take place in a 4 by 4 format. Unfortunately, there are only 5 cards so far. Instead of standard classes, spies have been implemented. Each of them belongs to one of four type classes. Plus there is an auxiliary skill and a pumping system. There are two game modes - team multiplayer and solo. In any case, the task at the level comes down to one thing - keeping the control point, and therefore the very idea of a huge location goes nowhere. Everyone hangs out in one cramped area. Of course, we can only hope for the appearance of other modes in the future, or at least an increase in control points, but for now you can play, but not for long. The toy gets boring quickly. The graphics are nice, the controls are more convenient. True, auto shooting may not please everyone. And jogging on the walls turned out to be useless at all. Otherwise, in order to get many buns, you need to wait an incredibly long time or pay currency for an accelerated time and the desired bonuses.
Stormbound
If you are thrilled with card games, and the mechanics of the excellent Hearthstone are undoubtedly riddled up and down, then take a look at Stormbound. It is a symbiosis of chess and card games. Yes, yes, there is at least something fresh in this genre. The basis of the game is purely Hearthstone's - the decks, the cost of the thrown card, the power of the blow and the number of units of health a unit has. The main difference is the playing field 4 by 5 cells. It is necessary to choose the direction and take into account the location of your own and the enemy's line of attack, as well as carefully protect your own base. There are quests, a store with a ton of donation, factions, an excellent drawing and a high-quality soundtrack. For a toy that does not pretend to be a killer of everything and everything in its class, the project turned out to be more than good. It's a pity that you won't be able to hack to death offline.
Death point
Fresh stealth action Death Point definitely managed to attract the attention of the gaming community. Of course, because the toy was developed with an eye to the legendary Metal Gear Solid and Hitman series. The plot is quite banal - the main character, Mark Point, needs to get out of captivity in the opposite camp. Further, a rather exciting journey through security, checkpoints and CCTV cameras awaits. The whole process is accompanied by tips from a sexy and regularly flirting cameraman with a strange name Souk, which in the original sounded like Suko. The translators have worked adequately in this moment. Breaking ahead will not work. You have to hide, monitor the threat level scale and remove the corpses. Otherwise, prepare to receive lead from a mobilized squad called on alert. The graphics are nice, the sound effects and the background background do not hurt the ear, it is interesting to play. Now about the disadvantages. The first and most important is management. The language will not turn to call it adequate, and even at the time of release there was no support for controllers. Optimization is weak and on non-top devices, many complained about slowdowns. And the voice acting remained original. Localizers have added Russian subtitles, but Suko Souk sends so many vulgar messages that you have to either stand and read, or ignore and really play. Although the toy is not bad in general, it absolutely falls short of the same Space Marshals. Such a masterpiece in this genre will certainly be difficult to beat.
NBA 2K18
What can you write about the new part of the uncontested, on mobile platforms, basketball simulator, albeit partly arcade. Apparently only about the changes in the new part. Traditionally, we tweaked the graphics, slightly improved the controls, added a new association mode, in which the fate of the NBA will completely rely on your arms, shoulders and other parts of the body. The toy is still expensive, but there is no donation, as in the same FIFA. The toy is unconditionally cool and definitely worth the money. And you have no choice. The Android version will appear a little later.
Thimbleweed park
A fresh, cool and localized into Russian Timblewid Park quest was presented. Five different destinies in one place with a colossal number of psychos will try to answer some strange questions. Decent riddles are intertwined with a very cool interaction system, sarcastic jokes, dialogues, two difficulty modes and a huge pixel world. Confused by two points - the need to read a lot, but you want Russian voice acting, and not just the translation of everything and everything and a really huge price tag. To give $ 20 for a game, you need to really love quests. But acquaintance with the game left a purely positive aftertaste.
Darkest dungeon
A challenging turn-based RPG roguelike with a gothic vibe and tons of awards and nominations. All this is a fresh project Darkest Dungeon. We have to go on a dangerous journey with our own team, the main obstacles for which will be not only countless enemies and monsters, but also hunger, the stress of illness and, of course, our own shortcomings. The developers decided to add realism to the maximum by integrating their own system of mental and physical state of each hero, which will directly affect the effectiveness in battle and its outcome. Otherwise, this is a classic turn-based RPG with character leveling, constant miscalculation of probabilities and a reasonable distribution of forces and resources. The toy is two-dimensional, the graphics and soundtrack are on the level. There is Russian localization with subtitles. The voice acting is left original. To be honest, it's a little unclear why the game was made purely for tablets. For the most part, the space is not used by anything and it was easy to shuffle the controls, optimizing the project for smartphones. The size of the audience would have grown exponentially.
ROME: Total War - Alexander
ROME: Total War Alexander was released for mobile a few months ago. In the game campaign, you can play as one faction - Macedonia, led by you guessed who. Of course, the Barbarians were not without. There are six historical battles in total. In Alexander, in comparison with the original, there are practically no innovations, except that the developers have significantly expanded the map to the east, but at the same time cut it from the west. The main drawback is graphics and optimization. The angular low-poly shapes and surroundings look frankly outdated, so it's best not to zoom in on the battlefield. With especially intensive mixing, FPS drawdowns are possible. The port is full, the strategy is decent, but the graphics are frankly upset. Fans of the ROME: Total War series must download.
