Perhaps the most original way to distance itself from its clear inspiration, GunCrafter is an enjoyable game that borrows Minecraft's best aspects to create a wholly unique experience.

Everything in this offering has to do with guns, as the title might suggest, and it is a whole lot of fun. This game never fails to be creative and charming and will keep you engaged for hours.

You will be tasked with crafting special guns and competing with others, including friends, in the GunCrafter.

Terraria has long been the king of survival/sandbox mobile games on Google Play Store, and with good reason. This title, rather than be restricted by its 2D platformer design, uses it to its benefit, resulting in a game that is distinct from Minecraft but just as rewarding.

Its extremely well-done art-style also adds to the charm, and because of its in-depth gameplay systems and environment, Terraria is understandably one of the better games in this genre on Androids.

Explore, mine, craft, and build in this giant and detailed sandbox game. Navigate huge simulated worlds thousands of blocks wide with a full temperature and climate system, seasons, an equator, and frozen poles.

Like Minecraft, this game changes entirely come nightfall and turns into a survival game of the highest order. Its procedurally generated worlds offer a tonne of variety and present new opportunities and challenges to you at every turn.

The Blockheads is simply one of the best on the Play Store and shouldn't be missed by the fans of the genre.
