Action

ScourgeBringer

Initially available on Steam and consoles in 2020, ScourgeBringer is a slick roguelike action platformer. This game is somewhat similar to Dead Cells, with a bit of Celeste mixed in for good measure. The pixel art is great, the controls are solid, and there's at least 15 hours' worth of content to explore. Not too shabby for $7. Nobody should miss out on ScourgeBringer if they are a fan of Metroidvanias, especially ones that look so dang good in action.

Apex Legends Mobile

Since almost everyone else has brought or is bringing their AAA shooter to mobile, it was only a matter of time before Electronics Arts created a mobile version of Apex Legends. This is a ground-up remake for mobile, which means there is no cross-play with the console and PC game. However, you can play against friends on iOS, so there's still some cross-compatibility.

But what's especially crazy is that the game plays incredibly close to the real deal and feels similar. But since this mobile version is its own thing, you can expect unique events and characters for mobile that the mainline game won't see. Best of all, the game is monetized fairly, so you can't pay for an advantage, just cosmetics, which is definitely appreciated.

Alto's Adventure

The Play Store is rife with auto-runners and endless-runners, and there are definitely a few good ones, but Alto's Adventure is easily one of the best. Sure, a sequel is available, but the original is where perfection lies. It's an incredibly simple setup. Snowboard as far as you can while completing goals. Once you finish a goal, you earn currency, which can be used to unlock new riders. And some of these riders offer better handling and speed, which means the more you unlock, the more currency you'll earn, snowballing until you complete the game.

The graphics are gorgeous, the controls are spot-on, and the gameplay loop is addictive. Best of all, you can pay to remove the annoying ads, which is the best way to play, totally unencumbered.

Slime Labs 2

Neutronized is a solid mobile developer that has been launching quality Android games for some time, including Lost Yetti and Little Fin. However, our favorite release from the studio was Slime Labs, an adorable physics-based platformer. Since we loved the first, now that a sequel is available, it's our go-to puzzle platformer on Android.

You can play for free as the game is ad-supported, and if you prefer a premium experience, you can remove those ads for $2.

Call of Duty: Mobile

What would a best-of Android game roundup be without one of the popular free-to-play shooters on the list? Seeing that Fortnite is no longer available on the Play Store, Call of Duty is the obvious choice for today's roundup. Sure, PUBG is still cruising along, but there's no denying Call of Duty: Mobile is the cool kid in the group. It's newer, and, well, it's freaking Call of Duty. Classic maps are included for those feeling nostalgic, along with a battle royale mode that mirrors the gameplay found in every other battle royale.

Monetization is greedy but primarily cosmetic, though cheating is an issue. But what competitive mobile game doesn't struggle with this problem? More or less, Call of Duty: Mobile does an okay job bringing the primary characteristics of the popular shooter from consoles to mobile, though all the familiar issues that plague the majority of F2P mobile games are present.

Dead Cells

When it comes to roguelike Metroidvanias, Dead Cells is a name that's often thrown around, and that's because it's a title that defines the genre. Thanks to the inclusion of controller support, the controls are spot-on, and even the touch controls are good enough to get you through the first few stages. Still, this is a challenging game, and death is a constant, but you'll slowly progress as you unlock new weapons during your runs.

What's nice is that the game supports high framerates, and those framerates are stable, making for a smooth experience. There's even some extra DLC available when you finally beat the primary campaign, which means there is tons of content here that should last most players 30 hours or more.
