Since the premiere of Blade Runner 2049 back in 2017, many cyberpunk games have been released for the Android environment. This sci-fi subgenre has one of its most important cinematographic references in the original film by Ridley Scott, making this sequel the perfect moment to rekindle this evocative aesthetic overall. To do our part we’ve put together a selection of free video games for smartphones set in dystopian futures with neon colors and illegal black markets. Long live cyberpunk!

All with the ultimate goal of shooting all opponents in an attempt to be the last survivor in such hostile territory. In addition, if you prefer, there is also a “lite” version for terminals with less power. [Download]

Chrome Death
Futuristic vehicles that leave a neon trail in the suburbs of megacities are another classic motif of the genre.

PinOut
If Rick Deckard played anything at an arcade after finishing his nightly rounds, it would certainly be PinOut. Head into the field of the neo-80s and you’ll find a mixed bag of games full of retro wave music and neon colors, but we’re going to make an exception for this one given that it was one of Yours Truly’s top faves from last year. This idea of an “endless pinball” game really is a brilliant one. [Download]
RetroShifter
Running around towering skyscrapers in majestic cities is what’s on offer in RetroShifter. You play an extreme parkour runner wearing a special sort of wristband with four positions, each of them a different hue, that let you pass through security lasers in the same color. Throw in the need to jump and crouch and you’ve got a game that’s frenetic from the get-go. [Download]
