#6 Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft

Developed by Blizzard, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is one of the best card games available on the iOS platform. The title, despite being free, is highly polished and offers a supreme experience both on the iPhone and the iPad.

Pick your cards, build a deck, win games and unlock more cards to win even more games - the basics of the game are that simple. And yet, it offers a host of options to keep both the casual and serious gamers occupied for hours.

You can battle against AI or against other players to stand a chance to win awesome prizes.

iOS version: 8.0 or higher.

#5 Really Bad Chess

Really Bad Chess is the opposite of every chess game that you've ever played. The game focuses on absurd and unrealistic scenarios instead of the elegant rule-book of the original game.

You can start the game with random pieces or can include multiple pieces of the same rank that are way higher than the maximum seen in a real game of chess.

The free version of the game allows the player to compete against the AI and also contains advertisements. You have to make a one-time purchase to play the PvsP mode.

iOS version: 7.0 or higher.

The entire game is available for free and does not contain any ads. A one-time in-app purchase allows the player to restart the game from checkpoints rather than the start of the level.

#2 Asphalt 9: Legends

The Asphalt series is the most downloaded arcade racer game series on iOS thanks to its brilliant visuals, easy controls and an engaging reward system.

Asphalt 9: Legends is the latest entry, and the game borrows a host of features seen in the previous titles, ensuring that you encounter a familiar gameplay experience. This arcade racer features over 50 exotic cars along with tons of customization options, ensuring that every gamer has a personalized experience.

#1 Fortnite

Fortnite on iOS features the online Battle Royale mode where up to 100 players are dropped on an island with nothing but a pickaxe, and each player must try and survive to become the last person standing.

The game features the building mechanic that allows the players to build walls and other obstacles to bring in an added dimension to the game, which is absent in other popular titles in the Battle Royale genre.

The bright colours, wacky visuals and a huge player community make this a must-play for all the mobile gamers out there.

Alternatively, you could also try PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (requires iOS 9.0 or higher).

iOS version: 11.0 or higher.
