1. Tomb Raider II
Major props goes out to Square Enix for porting the finest games in its library over to Android devices. The 1st Tomb Raider is playable, so it makes a ton of sense to bring over the sequel. You’ll command the world explorer Lara Croft once again and go on a quest for the famed Dagger of Xian. The textures have been cleaned up a bit, so this gives the game some new life as far as its overall visuals are concerned. Defend yourself against all global threats and enjoy one of Lara Croft’s earliest adventures.
2. LEGO Scooby-Doo Haunted Isle
Scooby-Doo, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Fred have some new horrific adventures to throw themselves into. LEGO Scooby-Doo Haunted Isle finds the gang on a journey involving a mysterious treasure map and important LEGO key. This side-scrolling release lets you pair up one human member of the crew along with everyone’s trusty crime solving dog. Hop and bop through tons of levels, unmask baddies and discover the mysteries behind Haunted Isle.
3. Dungeon Crash
Fantastical RPG’s are synonymous with the action game genre. Dungeon Crash employs elements of RPG battles, world building, party construction and more.

It’s up to you to save the Kingdom of Berman from the evils released from the Pandora Sword. Fight for supremacy, awaken your heroes, build up your massive kingdom and do your best in Dungeon Crash!
4. Dead Effect 2
Ever played DOOM? Enjoyed a quick game of Quake or Left 4 Dead? Yes and yes? Then Dead Effect 2 should be a prime candidate for a new Android action game you’d enjoy. This shooter mixes up sci-fi and horror elements with fast paced, 1st-person gunfights. Some RPG elements are thrown in as well as you strengthen your character for the hideous threats he has to constantly face.

5. Slashy Hero
Hacking and slashing is the main approach to this new mobile release from Kongregate. Slashy Hero has been tasked with saving Halloween by hopping across 48 dungeons filled with scary enemies.
