OK, so car racing games might not be to everyone’s taste but this is certainly a game that might entice even the most cynical mobile gamers. The Asphalt series of racing games have been an influential part of the mobile gaming scene ever since mobile went global. The original title was released way back in November 2004 when Asphalt Urban GT was launched on Nintendo DS and Nokia N-Gage. It is a series that has evolved in both popularity and quality ever since.

Asphalt 8: Airborne was initially released back in August 2013 on the Android platform. However, four years on and it remains one of the most enjoyable racing games available to play on mobile. The “pick up and play” aspect of the game makes it easy to adapt to playing and it is ideal to play in both short bursts and long periods. The inclusion of 200 licensed cars and motorcycles offers real appeal to the petrol heads out there. Even if you are not the biggest car fan, you are pleasantly surprised if you give this game a try.

Clash Royale (Supercell)

Collectible card games, tower defense games, and multi-player online battle arena games have dominated the mobile sector for the past few years. So when developer Supercell launched a game that combined elements from all those types of games it is no surprise that it got tongues wagging. Clash Royale hit the Android market back in March 2016 but this game is still causing a stir and luring players in.

Clash Royale has become such a smash hit with mobile players that it has inspired the creation of an official e-sports competition based on the game called The Clash Royale Crown Championship. Merging mobile gaming and e-sports gaming is a masterstroke and that dream has become a reality with this title. So if you want a quick bash of the game in one of the 11 playing arenas or want to go all out in a league then there is something for everyone. The additional feature of being able to go it alone or playing with friends brings a potential social element to the table.

Cut The Rope: Magic (ZeptoLab)

The Cut The Rope series is up there with the likes of Angry Birds, Final Fantasy, and Candy Crush Saga for being one of the most revolutionary titles on the mobile gaming market. Games within the series have been downloaded more than 600 million times and the franchise continues to thrive with new releases being praised just as high as the original release.

If you played any of the previous Cut The Rope titles such as Experiments, Time Travel, Cut The Rope 2, Triple Threat, or My Om Nom then you’ll want to get your hands on this. In this edition, Om Nom is taken to a storybook world where every level has an element of magic incorporated into it. Om Nom must take on a rival candy-loving wizard to try and prevail victoriously. Om Nom is also randomly given the powers of turning smaller and into different types of animals in this game. An ideal game if you love to play on your mobile during those short commutes to work and back.

Final Fantasy Brave Exvius (Square Enix)

Now we are talking about the big guns. The Final Fantasy franchise is one of the best-selling video game series of all time. The first game in the series was launched back in 1987 on the Nintendo NES. It changed the face of computer gaming forever. In this modern day, the Final Fantasy series lives on and is still impacting on people’s lives on the mobile platform. This version of the game was released around the world in June 2016.

In this turn-based role-playing game, players are thrown into a fantasy world where two opposing powers called Vision and Lapis are in a balance. The vision represents people’s thoughts and feelings. Lapis is a world where Magic Crystals exist. The world of Lapis begins to fall and it is up to the players to use the power of Vision to help save the world from falling into darkness. Players must navigate through a series of levels before encountering an end boss called Veritas. Final Fantasy continues to re-invent itself to change with the times. If you want a long-term project to keep you busy for a prolonged period of time then this is for you.
