5) Zooba: Free-for-All

If you are looking for that sweet spot between the aesthetic of Fall Guys and the intensity of PUBG, then Zooba is the game for you. Zooba is a charming battle-arena experience that appears laid-back at first, but it takes little time for the game to ramp up its intensity.

The game is extremely accessible and while veterans of PUBG Mobile Lite will have somewhat of a hard time adjusting to the gameplay of Zooba, it should be no problem.

Zooba's best part comes in the way of its art style, and its tone is just the right kind of fun. The game does not take itself too seriously, which is the approach for games like these.

4) Hopeless Land: Fight for Survival

Toeing the precarious line between inspiration and imitation, Hopeless Land does actually have a few original ideas of its own. For players who are seeking the closest experience to PUBG Mobile Lite, Hopeless Land is their best bet.

While the game doesn't necessarily have the quick matchmaking of PUBG, the recent ban is sure to send droves of players looking for alternatives. Perhaps this will help other games in the genre, such as Hopeless Land, finally have their day in the sun.

3) Call of Duty Mobile

The undoubted king of first-person shooters' foray into mobile gaming came in the form of Call of Duty Mobile. The game is as responsive as it gets on the mobile gaming platform.

There are no other shooters for the platform that feels as great as Call of Duty Mobile. In addition to a robust arena shooter game mode, COD Mobile also comes with a fantastic Battle Royale mode.

If players are looking for a more responsive game than PUBG Mobile Lite, then Call of Duty Mobile is it.

2) Fortnite

Fortnite is not available on Google Play Store but can be downloaded from the official website of Epic Games. The game needs absolutely no introduction as it has dominated relentlessly ever since the battle royale mode's launch.

The game is an extremely creative take on the genre, and for players who are looking to not just shoot but also build their way out of a problem, Fornite will scratch that itch.

The Android and iOS app is quite a competent port of the original game on consoles and PC.

1) Garena Free Fire

Garena Free Fire is a game on the rise and was competing neck-to-neck with PUBG Mobile Lite in terms of active players. After the ban, the number is going to increase significantly and players are sure to flock to Garena Free Fire.

As the closest alternative to PUBG Mobile Lite and its signature feel, Garena Free Fire is both familiar yet somewhat original in its approach. The game is a favourite of the mobile game community and understandably so.
