The Best Mobile Games You’ve NEVER Played

Mobile Gaming is in a very sad state right now. Looking at the top charts for any category we are just PLAGUED with crappy mobile game slop. Are there any good games left? Can you still find fun games to play on your phone? That's what I'd like to find out.

These are 30 "hidden gems" for you to play, and "hidden" is a bit of a stretch for some of these, considering we're ranking stuff like The Battle Cats, but I bet there's a lot here you haven't played before that you SHOULD. We're covering a wide range of games to hopefully find a little bit of something for everyone! And 95% of these are ones I personally love playing.

From soupsoup to Rollo Rush to Candies 'n Curses to TAP! DIG! My Museum, we have truly found the cream of the crop.

I almost exclusively make ranking videos on my channel, so if you like this video, I'd really appreciate you liking the video and leaving a comment with what you thought about it! Thanks!

Hey! I'm the developer of Rollo Rush. Thanks for checking it out!

[ThePottedNoob]

really happy to see Candies N Curses here, really underrated

[LucasRodmo]

*The Room* series from Fireproof Studios are just amazing puzzle games! They have gorgeous graphics, challenging but fun levels, great art, awesome lovecraftian story! Definitely worth it checking out!

[lynxfangr]

My favorite is Alto's Adventure (& it's sequel). Beautiful art, easy to learn endless runner with plenty of interesting mechanics.

I've also always been a fan of Zen Koi. The visuals are beautiful and the gameplay loop is interesting enough for a mobile game, a little bit grinding but you have to have some strategy to catch some of the creatures

[panch]

3 honorable mentions

Nameless cat
A puzzle platformer

Battle of polytopia
Turn based army strategy game

Mindustry
Wave defence game

Battle cats in the thumbnail has postponed the second year long disappearance of me from this channel

[winrareex]

Hello, I'm number 4 in the leaderboard in Rollo Rush, Im really happy you featured the game in this video, this means so much to the Rollo Rush community, hopefully this helps the game get more recognized❤

[FBI-sreg]

Not a day goes by where I’m not deeply mad that Tiny Thief is gone

[Gemstone_Vodka]

Monument valley was on screen for a second, this is a win for all monument valley fans

[Mas-cmcy]

Alright imma awaken all of the PM nerds right now
LIIIMMMMBUUUSS

[Gem_Animates]

So glad to see candies n curses, catbird and death pallete here!!❤ just wish the hidden gem the "cats are liquid" series was mentioned here. It's so damn underrated. Not only are the two games in the series great platformers, but they have a story, even if it's subtle. Really my personal fav. Another similar one is also nameless cat. It has one of my favorite pixel art and cool boss battles.

3 Mobile Games I enjoy way too much and suprised I didn’t see in the Video are:
1. “Chiki” a 2D Pixel Art, Platformer which Autoscrolls,
2. “Pawnbarian” Chess but you can choose a Class, ( your only 1 Piece, but use Cards to move like Chess Pieces, and there are also Custom Pieces
3. “Phobies” a Strategy Game with a uhh “Unique” Artstyle where you control Phobies / Monsters

[kodapro]

i am legitimately FLABBERGASTED
that you didn’t pick “the silent age”, “swordigo” and “vector” those are peak

(note: i believe vector is now a pay to win dumpster fire but it used to be incredible trust)

[mucilungi]

Some games you should try are:
-That level again one of the best puzzle games there are (it even has 4 parts)
-Nameless cat one of my favorites

[billyyank]

It's really a shame how bad mobile gaming has become. I literally couldn't handle it to the point where I dug up my old Nintendo 3DS XL and spent a whole month repairing it just to have something I could play on the go.

[EngineerMonkeyBTD]

Candies N' Curses was a fat part of my childhood! I had a thing for the witch boss back then! Ah, good times...

[thatoneguy]

Dude I love “Love you to Bits” so much, waiting for levels to come out before the game was finished was torture back when I played it.

[Fabs]

Candies'n'curses and battle cats are absolute cinema

[AmythestZeCat]

Game recommendation: Cats Are Liquid
Its one of my favourite game series, even though it only has 2 installments. Its story is beautiful, and the gameplay is very fun!
The first game canonically takes place after the second game. So, play the games in this order; CaL:aLiTS, CaL:aBP
They wont dissapoint

[piotrciesielski]

The second I saw Battle Cats on the thumbnail (instantly), I just clicked

Also, I recommend Epic Battle Fantasy 4 and Epic Battle Fantasy 5, they are from the series that Has the Absolute Right to be called "Epic"
