Best Games For Android
Did you just pick up a new Android device? Maybe
you’re looking for a new, cheap way to kill time? You’re in luck - we’ve got
some games here that look and play great on the big and small screen alike, and
they’re all available for the low, low price of free.
It’s worth keeping in mind that just about all
of these employ in-app purchases of some kind or another. We know there are
plenty of you that would willingly pay up front for a quality game, but there
are plenty of good free games out there too. We’re trying to avoid “lite”
games, since you won’t get a lot of replay value by only having the first
couple of levels and being pestered to upgrade (pay) for the rest. That said,
if the freemium model is a dealbreaker, this probably isn’t the round-up for
you. Developers gotta eat.
Without further ado, here’s our list of the best
free Android games. Don’t be shy to sing out in the comments with your favorite
free games for Android.
Asphalt 8 Airborne is our favorite racing game
on mobile right now. It skips all pretensions of realism and provides an
over-the-top, high-octane game with all the fixings. Players can work their way
through the career mode, unlock new rides, upgrade the ones they have, or take
the competition online in staggered or live multiplayer. The usual race modes
are there, plus a new Infected one where players have to tag other racers
before succumbing to an explosive virus.
In Dumb Ways to Die, players have to successfully
get through a gauntlet of simple mini-games for as long as possible, though
they progressively grow more difficult. These can range from shooing piranhas
away from your crotch, swatting bugs, and holding onto balloons so you don't
dive onto the tracks. You get three failures before it’s game over. The art
style fantastically morbid - cute little characters are constantly getting
maimed in new and exciting ways. As you play, you unlock more of the
victims/idiots for your collection. The best part about this game is that it's
actually a kind of public service warning by the Melbourne transit association
to make sure people don't do stupid things near the tracks. There's even a
music video. Well-played, Australia. Well-played.
For a dark-but-cute test of reflexes, Dumb Ways to
Die is fantastic.
Dead Trigger 2 brings rootin’-tootin’
first-person-shootin’ back to the zombie apocalypse. Despite the altogether
realistic visuals, Dead Trigger 2 remains chock-full of tongue-in-cheek humor.
Controls use a fast and natural auto-fire mechanism which keeps the focus on
moving and aiming. More notably, there’s a robust hideout and crafting system
where you get various assistants to build stuff for you, though it takes time.
There is a premium currency in place, but it’s used almost exclusively to speed
up building times; all weapons can be created and upgraded using the currency
you earn throughout gameplay. Regular events bring players to new parts of the
world, with collective rewards if goals are met.
If you’re looking for a high-quality shooter, you’ll
have a hard time finding something better than Dead Trigger 2.
Plague Inc. is a rather dark global virus simulation
game. Players gently guide a disease from a modest cough to a deadly worldwide
pandemic by evolving it with new symptoms, means of transmission, and
resistances. Over time, players unlock new disease types with their own unique
traits. World events also randomly pop up every game, forcing you to change
your evolution path. With an in-app purchase, you can get rid of ads and add a
fast-forward option, or shortcut to new virus types.
As morbid as it may be, the Plague Inc.’s gameplay
is truly infectious.
Plants vs. Zombies is a venerable mobile franchise
for a good reason. The bizarre premise of protecting your back lawn from hordes
of undead with sunflowers and peas is certainly part of that, but there’s a lot
of tactical thinking in terms of plant choices before the attack begins, and
placement. In Plants vs. Zombies 2, you’re taken back in time to defend against
zombies dressed in era garb, and try out all sorts of new mechanics. The
zombies are getting smarter, and challenge your reaction speed in a number of
ways, though you also have a whole new complement of plants to use. Stages also
have new terrain features to keep every round fresh. Plant food can be
collected to super-charge any plant and gesture-based special abilities can
make short work of a wave when things get especially hairy.
All in all, Plants vs. Zombies 2 presents deep
strategic gameplay in a fun, colorful package.
