The Best Mobile Games of 2016

Plants vs. Zombies Heroes

Taken from Best Android Games Description: We’re pretty shocked it took this long for Plants vs. Zombies to take a dip into the collectible card game sub-genre. Clash of Clans has had great success with it and that’s exactly the same case with PopCap/EA’s most popular mobile franchise. Plants vs. Zombies Heroes is what you’d expect: you’ll need to construct a team of either trusty plants or zombies and align them with you chosen hero. For example, you can step into the heroic role of either the plants’ Green Shadow or the zombies’ Super Brainz. There’s a ton of character cards to collect and put to work on the lanes catered towards real-time skirmishes. The Plants vs. Zombies formula makes all the sense in the world with this new spinoff.

Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius

Bravely Default brought back the traditional workings of past Final Fantasy games to 3DS owners. For those looking for the same type of RPG mechanics on iOS/Android devices, Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius brings that in spades. The 16-bit character sprites should evoke memories of the good ol’ days of Final Fantasy, as well as the dungeon crawling, sidequest adopting and party building elements that the series implements so well. The battle system is easy to understand, so make sure you’re prepared for climactic battles with the AI and other players. The nostalgia feels will certainly kick in once you acquire popular heroes from past Final Fantasy games. Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius is the traditional RPG experience that mobile gamers and old school FF fans should fully embrace.

EvilBane: Rise of Ravens

Taken from Best Android Games Description: My, my, my…mobile games have come a long way if we’re strictly talking about graphics. EvilBane: Rise of Ravens just looks amazing at first, second and even third glance. This action RPG offers up a worthwhile adventure that does right by the hi-def visuals it’s been given. There’s tons of loot to collect, team raids to involve yourself in, numerous dungeons to plunder, PvP arenas to challenge yourself in and a near infinite amount of guilds to align yourself with. EvilBane is a console-worthy game that’s been perfectly adapted into a fine hack n’slasher for mobile devices.

Shadowverse

Taken from Best Android Games Description: There’s already a million and one great digital card battlers out there on the mobile market. Welp, let’s add another one to that list: Shadowverse. The rules are simple and easy to follow: collect, evolve, strategize, battle and make sure to win at all costs. With 400+ cards to acquire and put to work during battle, you have plenty of opportunities to create a deck all your own. The art style behind this card battler is pristine, so this game is pretty easy on the eyes. Enjoy the offline story mode campaigns and take everything you learned there into the online unranked/ranked battles. Shadowverse is one of the best mobile time waster. And yes, that’s a compliment.
