Top Premium Mobile Games You Need To Try At least Once!

Mobile gaming mostly revolves around free titles, but there are quite a lot of premium games as well. Most of the free games are just filled with advertisements, and oftentimes the premium ones tend to be not that great for the money you pay.

This War of Mine ($13.99)

Developed by 11 bit studios, This War of Mine is a unique game. This game shocked me to my core: unlike other mobile games, it’s not a game where you play a powerful character who keeps killing anyone who comes in the way.

Instead, here you play as everyday people who just try to avoid the tragedy of war. I considered myself very lucky to have found this game. You should play it too, I am sure it will intrigue you and offer you new insights on the experience of war.

Lara Croft GO ($5.99)

Developed and Published by Square Enix, this game is not for everyone. Lara Croft Go is a puzzle game with Lara Croft as the character. The graphics of the game are just astonishing, and the soundtrack fits just right.

However, the animations might leave you disappointed sometimes. If you move faster than the animations, then it might make the game look weird, but thankfully the game is not based on it. 

The gameplay is all about solving puzzles, starting easy and progressing towards hard ones. The puzzles are not super tricky, but for sure, you will need to use your mind. 

DeadCells ($8.99)

Dead Cells is probably the best game you can play on mobile devices. It’s a fun Metroidvania-style roguelike game.

The game has been ported exceptionally well to mobile devices, and it is all about learning and getting better with each attempt. 

However, personally, I’m not too fond of pixel art, so that takes me a step back.

Portal Knights ($4.99)

Portal Knights is what happens when you replace Minecraft’s super old graphics and art direction with Roblox, and stick into your traditional MMORPG like Runescape or WoW.

But with the added benefit of still being able to create or renovate your world fully, Portal Knights combines exploration and building elements. In addition, there are role-playing elements in the game as awell.  

This game features a multiplayer sandbox environment. Players in Portal Knights can explore, take on monsters, and build.

The game mechanics are quite simple: you control your character and solve puzzles, which are quite tricky. 

However, you can complete the game in around 2 hours because it has a very short gameplay, but the simplicity and story of the games make up for it. In short, LIMBO is a must-played title that will remain in your mind and soul forever. 

Grand Theft Auto- San Andreas ($6.99)

Nothing compares to the rush, the thrill, the excitement of the all-time gamer’s favorite: GTA.
