Have you ever been to a party with a few friends while you were all bored out of your mind? Or perhaps you needed some entertainment and a quick fix? Mobile games are usually the go-to option for such scenarios and they have come a long way over the past decade.
There are many new mobile games being released every day. But some of them have gained quite a good reputation to stick out. If you are looking for some ideas, here are some of the best multiplayer games for mobile that you can play offline with your buddies.
#6. Badland
Available on: iOS, Android, Android TV
Price: Free (Android), $0.99 (iOS)
Badland is a really fun platformer game that you can play with your friends on the same device or online with 3 other players. The objective of the game is to survive while navigating through the world, avoiding deadly obstacles and traps that will kill you.
It is not very often that a good platformer game is released for mobile but Badland hit the sweet spot. There are currently on 23 levels available in multiplayer but the developers are planning for more. The single player and co-op modes have over 100 levels that you can access.
#5. Chess by AI Factory/Optime Software
Available on: iOS (Optime Software), Android (AI Factory)
Price: Free
Chess is a classic you can always turn to. If you don't have a board at home there are plenty of Chess apps available for mobile. However, not all of them are that good and some are bombared with ads. The best Chess app for iOS is Chess by Optime Software and the best Chess app for Android is Chess by AI Factory.
These apps have multiplayer on the same device as well as online. You can also test your wits against the extremely hard CPU.
#4. BombSquad
Available on: Android
Price: Free
BombSquad has been one of the most popular multiplayer games for mobile for a long time. Unfortunately, the game has not yet been released for iOS but it is available for Mac devices. BombSquad has a package of many games in one. You can play hockey, capture the flag, onslaught and so many more different modes.
The premise of the game stays the same - throwing bombs at your enemies and strategically planning how to win against your opponents. The local mobile mode can support up to 8 players in one device! You can also play co-op mode if you feel it's too crowded.
#3. The Escapists 2: Pocket Breakout
Available on: Android, iOS
Price: $6.99
Although it's a bit on the premium side, The Escapists 2 is a brilliant multiplayer game that has many prison levels you can play through. Play alongside your friends and strategically plan and manoeuvre your way out.
You can craft items, beat up guards, steal keys and so much more. It can be quite a challenging experience so if you don't mind the difficulty and price tag, The Escapists 2 might be the perfect multiplayer game.
#2. Crossy Road
Available on: Android, iOS
Price: Free
Crossy Road has been a classic go-to mobile game for a while now. The objective is simple, just cross the road with your character, collect coins if you can and avoid being run over. You can gather coins to unlock different characters.
The simplicity of the game and the cute graphics have made Crossy Roads one of the best mobile games and multiplayer mobile games out there today.
#1. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
Available on: Android, iOS
Price: $9.99
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is probably one of the best and most frustrating games out for mobile. The game is simple, you need to defuse a bomb and someone else needs to read the manual to guide you. Defusers can't look at the manual and manual readers can't look at the bomb.
You have to solve the multiple puzzles that are on the bomb before time runs out or else - boom! The complexity of the game picks up very fast. You have puzzles such as Simon Says, Morse Code, Mazes and even simple tasks like word play and cutting wires.
You can compose teams however you like as well, provided you follow the golden rule of defusers and instructors not peaking. 2 people can defuse a bomb or 5 people can read a manual. It is up to you to decide how to play because the difficulty of the game will keep you going for a while. But fair warning, you could also lose some friends out of frustration!
Although the price tag is a bit high for a mobile game, this game offers a lot of levels and has tons of replayability with a huge challenge. If you think that suits you, Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is one of the best multiplayer mobile games available.
