Best mobile games for Android

Undoubtedly, the first type of games is still quite popular and the majority of them are, but the players' need for high-quality projects has grown. This is especially noticeable in recent years, as the power of modern smartphones continues to grow.

For all fans of modern projects, we have selected 9 games for Android that can compete with console and computer titles in terms of development.

Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact is a cross-platform action-adventure game with RPG elements and an open world. It is developed by the Chinese company miHoYo. The project was first announced in 2019 for Windows and iOS, but later a version for Android, PS4, and PS5 was announced. It uses the Unity game engine.

The developers were inspired by the cult game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild from Nintendo. The open world, some visual elements, the process of exploring territories, interacting with objects, puzzles, and riddles were taken as a basis.

The developers do not hide their love for Japanese animation and manga - the game is made in a vibrant anime style. The level of detail and attention to detail from the first launch of the game indicates that it is a AAA-class product. The game is well optimized and runs equally well on mobile devices, as well as on PCs and consoles.

First and foremost, Genshin Impact is a single-player story-driven game set in a fictional world on the continent of Teyvat. The main character must join the order of knights, go through trials, fight dragons, and solve exciting puzzles.

Among the features of the gameplay in Genshin Impact are:

• The "gacha" system - characters and weapons are randomly obtained from special loot boxes;
• Hero switching - the ability to choose one of four characters during battles;
• World exploration - the map is scattered with points of interest that contain various activities for the player;
• Cooperative gameplay - friends can join the player for joint adventures if desired.

After the game's release, the developers constantly support the project with new content. As of autumn 2022, the game has received the 3.2 update, which introduced two new characters, two world bosses, new story, and side quests.

Tower of Fantasy

Tower of Fantasy (ToF) is a free third-person role-playing game with an open world and MMO elements. It is developed by a Chinese studio owned by Perfect World, using Unreal Engine 4. The game is the spiritual successor to Genshin Impact, taking the "gacha" system and the way of exploring the world, but focusing on the multiplayer aspect.

Undoubtedly, the developers of ToF were greatly inspired by the success of Genshin Impact. Sometimes it seems that it is the same game, only in a different setting. The events of ToF take place in a technological world with elements of cyberpunk on the planet Aida.

The game's story tells about the resettlement of people from the planet Earth, which was destroyed as a result of global wars. 12 thousand people set off to a planet called Aida, which was discovered and suitable for life.

During the development and exploration of the new planet, the surviving part of humanity manages to discover an unknown element - ominum, which was contained on a passing comet. To collect this element, a relay station called the "Tower of Fantasy" was built, but as a result of the experiment, a technological catastrophe struck the young civilization. From that moment, the player begins their adventure in this world.

Players will engage in activities such as:

• Resource gathering, which is used for crafting weapons;
• Hunting animals and gathering ingredients for cooking;
• Finding secret chests containing rare reagents;
• Exploring hidden dungeons to find "gacha" spheres;
• Puzzles, riddles, and cooperative completion of activities.

Visually, Tower of Fantasy is on par with its inspirational source. The game's world and characters are memorable, the animation is smooth, and the interface is not overloaded with unnecessary elements.

The main drawback for players from Russia will be the lack of localization in Russian, but if you have played Genshin Impact, this will not be a problem for you.

Diablo Immortal

Diablo Immortal is a mobile hack-and-slash RPG belonging to the iconic Diablo series. It was developed by the gaming division of the Chinese company NetEase. The game is based on the Unreal Engine 4. In addition to mobile platforms, it is available for PC via BattleNet.
