The Best Mobile Android Games Available 2022

Ask gamers which the best games are for Android, and many will throw back their heads and laugh. Mobile games are all just pay to win puzzle affairs, without a real game in sight, right? That really isn't the case. It might be true that there are a lot of shovel-ware games for mobile, but for those that know where to look there are also some truly excellent titles.

Here are some of the best Android games available in 2022. Before you ask, none of these have any annoying microtransactions.

Among Us

There was a period of time in 2020 and 2021 when just about everyone was playing Among Us. The simple, yet extraordinarily addictive game dumps you and a group of friends on a space station. You're cooperatively required to perform a bunch of mini-games in order to keep systems going, which in itself would be an interesting experience. But, the twist is that one of you is tasked with being a killer. The killer commits a murder, and the survivors must discuss who they think did the dirty deed.

If the killer is a good liar, and can manipulate their way out of guilt, they may just keep on killing until they're a final survivor. It's a wonderfully fun romp like online roulette, but in this case you can sneakily manipulate your friends.

Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night

When it comes to 2D platformers, it simply doesn't get any better than Symphony Of The Night. The video game classic topped the charts back in the day, and is now topping the charts in modern mobile gaming. Players take on the role of Alucard, son of Dracula, who must prevent his grotesque father from being resurrected. It's as challenging as it sounds, and also as fun as it sounds.

What makes Symphony Of The Night so appealing is that it really is a 2D scroller turned in-depth RPG. Unique gear, purchasable items and a boat load of spells are part of the experience, making this an adventure almost as engaging as something like Final Fantasy. Only, of course, in this case the action isn't turn based.

Chrono Trigger

Speaking of RPGs, if you want a true JRPG experience look no further than Chrono Trigger. It originally came out for the SNES, but still holds up as well as would be expected. Which is to say; Chrono Trigger is amongst the best JRPGs to ever be made. There are some challenges as far as using a touchscreen is concerned, but still hours of engaging story and epic adventuring to be had.

Final Fantasy VII

Lastly, as long as you're replaying RPGs, you may just want to stick to the best of the best. Final Fantasy VII is now fully playable on mobile, which almost defies belief. The 100+ hour epic can now be enjoyed on an Android mobile device, without a single moment lost in the transition. The graphics have been scaled back in some areas, but it is still well worth playing this true classic through again and again.
