We’ve ranked the 10 best android games of all time!
Best Android Games of all time:
10. Fortnite (2017)

9. Alto’s Adventure (2016)
A snowboarding game that lasted for more than one winter! Alto’s adventure was a surprise indie hit that allowed you to perform snowboarding tricks in an endless loop of side-scrolling fun. Even though it got a sequel (Alto’s Odyssey) in 2018, the original game didn’t grow old.
8. Minecraft (2011)
Marketed initially as Minecraft: Pocket Edition, the super-popular android version of the best-selling sandbox game guarantees creative fun. Minecraft gained an additional boost of popularity in 2016 when the developers introduced cross-platform gameplay
7. Pokemon GO (2016)
When it first appeared, it became a phenomenon that crossed the boundaries of the gaming world: it seemed like Pokemon GO was everywhere and everyone wanted to play it. The hype is now gone, but Pokemon GO remains one of the most charming android games ever.
6. Fruit Ninja (2010)
They say the simplest games are the most addictive, and Fruit Ninja proves it. This ninja fruit slicer turned into an obsession that took a year of our life, and we still sometimes return to its lovely juiciness. A wide range of weapons brings extra fun to the dojo.
5. Call of Duty: Mobile (2019)
One of the biggest first-person shooter franchises delivered the best android game of 2019 and one of the best of all time. It is no wonder it became an instant hit, with 148 million downloads in its first month, making it the most prominent mobile game launch in history.
4. Asphalt 8: Airborne (2013)
The best mobile racing game offers a huge range of vehicles and tracks, with 8 basic racing modes that guarantee long-term commitment to achieving racing mastery. Many developers offered alternatives, but they just can’t compete with Asphalt 8.
3. Candy Crush Saga (2012)
Equally loved by kids and their parents, years after its first release, Candy Crush Saga remains one of the most popular puzzle games of all time. Originally published on Facebook, it achieved its full glory as an android game, perfect to play while commuting to school or work.
2. Clash of Clans (2012)
A mobile strategy game that strategically won our hearts. Set in a fantasy world where players assume the roles of village elders, it can be played by up to 50 people simultaneously. They can work together or against each other, whatever it takes to reach the top.
1. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (2017)
As one of the two biggest battle royale games globally, PUBG will inevitably be compared to Fortnite. In a battle of android games, Fortnite wins as a more playable alternative, but the mobile version of PUBG remains highly addictive and engaging.
