My List of Mobile Games You Should Try
How It All Started
A trillion years ago, when prehistoric humans used to play games on their XtinctBoxes and PaleozoicS5s, one man stood above the rest. Named Sloth by the ladies, he used trigonometry and other stuff someone like me won’t understand to invent the world’s first smartphone, astonishing everyone. A handheld device capable of running games opened up a world of possibilities. Be it while riding mammoths to the latest Taylor Swift’s concert or taking a poo on the peak of Mount Everest, people always had a smartphone in their hands. But the situation soon escalated. It started with small events here and there, husbands forgetting to gift manes of lions to their wives, children neglecting their daily yoga sessions, and such. Divorces and disownments started happening at alarming rates. Finally, it got so out of hand that they had to break all the smartphones and bury the blueprints at the depths of the Pacific Ocean. True story.
Wassup, people who’ve come here knowingly or unknowingly. Sloth here and today, I’m gonna talk about some mobile games I like. Yeah, it’s more of a personal list than scouring through websites. So, buckle up and let’s dive into those small rectangular boxes of wonders.
1. There’s football and basketball, but you…. fight? The first one is Brawl Stars by Supercell. This action game and I go way back. Like 2020. When I first played it, it had like 40 brawlers. Now it’s over 80. There are many modes you can play, like Gem Grab where your team must collect at least 10 gems to win, Showdown where 10 players go solo or in duos to fight to the death, Heist where two teams have a safe each and you have to destroy the opposite team’s safe while protecting your own, and many more. Oh, and you can play 3v3 and 5v5 football too. The catch? You will have to fight with the opponent team while trying to shoot a goal.
2. Mommy waifus with a great plot? Sign me up. I don’t know how to explain the gameplay so here it goes. “Path to Nowhere is a SRPG featured by real-time Tower Defense gameplay.” The battlefield is divided into small squares and the characters, called ”Sinners”, are placed on a square each, with a maximum of six per match. You can move them from one square to another during the battles. The attacks are auto, but you can control their special attacks. There’s a gacha system for acquiring new Sinners, and event gachas for newly released Sinners. They also provide story events on top of the main campaign. And, my favourite Sinner is Chameleon coz…… reasons.
3. It… it can’t be… Am I really F-class?! Looks like a generic fantasy dungeon rusher, right? Luckily for you, the developers have made this game idle. So, you can just log in once every 24 hours or so to collect your rewards. “But, Sloth. There are so many other idle games out there. Why this specifically?” Okay, first, this is a personal list. Second, this game collabs with other mangas and games, thus having new events every now and then. Third, there are many things to do there. Every few hundred levels later, I seem to discover some new way to increase my power. And, the devs are constantly adding new features. The graphics are bad, though. Pixellated bad.
4. I better uninstall it here and play it on my PC instead. Diablo Immortal is one of those games which was released for both mobile and PC with cross-play enabled. Having played both the versions, I can say that playing it on phone feels way less satisfying than a PC. Sure, it takes up like 21 GB only compared to the 70-plus GB it occupies on your PC. But the game feels darker. The controls are better suited for PC. The story’s good, and the bosses are better. The only reason I mentioned it here is coz I feel it’s one of the best MMORPGs you can play on your phone, with the second being…
5. Grass exists in real life too. Genshin Impact. I mean, they do keep extending the story endlessly. And the game is suited for those who are willing to pay. But the world is big. There are many bosses and mobs. As usual, the PC version feels a lot better. Oh well, I’ll stop comparing mobile and PC versions. Feels like I’m comparing an integrated Intel graphics card with a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, which is a beast when it comes to gaming and no, this blog isn’t sponsored by NVIDIA (they should). Ah, I got distracted. Yeah, this game is perfect if you want to play a MMO while skipping the story. Ain’t no way people actually pay attention to the entire story.
6. Does the arena ever end? Shadow Fight 4 or Shadow Fight Arena as it was called at the beginning. I had played it at the beginning, like 3 or 4 years ago. I remember I had all the characters back then. Before I uninstalled it. But, the combat was good and I liked the multiplayer concept. The 3D design was an added bonus. I heard they added a story version too. Haven’t checked it out yet, but I think it’s not bad.
Well, that was all. I quite enjoyed making this list. Can’t say if y’all will enjoy reading it. There are lots of other games I could’ve mentioned, like Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Azur Lane, Reverse: 1999 and others. But, I’m getting tired and I gotta go fight Messmer.
