Android RPGs Unveil Epic Upgrades in Latest Update

By DanielJan 24,2025

A curated selection of the best Android RPGs to banish those long, dark winter nights. Forget the rain – these games offer immersive adventures. This list focuses on premium titles with complete, accessible content, excluding gacha games (check our separate gacha list for those).

Top-Tier Android RPGs

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2

A controversial top pick? Perhaps. But KOTOR 2's masterful touchscreen adaptation of a classic is undeniable. Its expansive world, compelling characters, and authentic Star Wars feel make it a must-play.

Neverwinter Nights

Prefer fantasy to sci-fi? Neverwinter Nights delivers a dark fantasy adventure in the Forgotten Realms. Beamdog's enhanced edition of this BioWare classic is superb.

Dragon Quest VIII

Often cited as the best Dragon Quest, it's also our favorite mobile JRPG. Square Enix's meticulous port, playable in portrait mode, is perfect for on-the-go gaming.

Chrono Trigger

A legendary JRPG, Chrono Trigger's mobile version deserves a spot. While not the ideal way to experience it, it's a solid option if alternatives are unavailable.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions

This strategy RPG remains remarkably engaging. A strong contender for the ultimate strategy RPG, and certainly a standout mobile title.

The Banner Saga

A dark, challenging, and strategically deep experience (note: the third entry requires a different platform). Think Game of Thrones meets Fire Emblem.

Pascal’s Wager

A superb action RPG, not just on mobile, but period. Its dark atmosphere, rich content, and innovative design make it a must-play.

Grimvalor

A standout side-scrolling Metroidvania RPG with stunning visuals and a Souls-like progression system.

Oceanhorn

The best non-Zelda game we've encountered, and visually stunning. (Sequel is Apple Arcade exclusive.)

The Quest

An often-overlooked first-person dungeon crawler inspired by classics like Might & Magic. Hand-drawn visuals and regular updates enhance its appeal.

Final Fantasy (Series)

No RPG discussion is complete without Final Fantasy. Several excellent titles (VII, IX, VI, among others) are available on Android.

9th Dawn III RPG

Despite the name, this top-down RPG is a massive, content-rich experience featuring exploration, loot, monster recruitment, and even a card game.

Titan Quest

A mobile port of the classic Diablo-esque hack-and-slash. While not perfect, it's a decent option if you're craving this style of gameplay.

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth

A fantastic RPG based on Norse mythology. Its convenient save-anywhere feature is ideal for mobile play.
