A few years ago, no one could have imagined that the elaborate MMORPG genre would have a second life on mobile devices. We’re not exactly talking about short rounds and simple interfaces, but quite the opposite instead. Thanks in part to the automation of the tiresome tasks they involve, massively multiplayer online role-playing games continue to be more popular than ever. We’ve selected the 30 best MMORPGs available on Android. It’s time to get grinding!
RebirthM
Nothing but good can possibly come out of a studio made up of former employees of NCsoft, Nexon, Netmarble, Neowiz and Webzen. RebirthM is a textbook 3D MMORPG that has everything you could ask for from the genre: PvE, PvP, guilds, raids, player killing, mounts, pets and leveling up all over the place —not to mention its spectacular graphics made with Unity that can ultimately be customized to make the game run on lower-end devices. If you have to choose just one MMORPG, this should probably be the one. [Download]
V4
V4 is everything that an Android MMORPG should be. Not just for its spectacular graphics made with Unreal Engine 4 —nor for its variety of tasks that include PvE, PvP and social interaction with other players. What really makes it great is the possibility of cross-platforming with the PC version and being able to switch between both versions. Nexon knows where the future of the genre is going. [Download]
Albion Online
This game from Sandbox Interactive is somewhat different from what you can usually find in the genre. It offers a more hardcore experience where even one wrong step can make you lose part of your team. Wandering through the world of Albion means crossing areas of an enemy faction whose members can attack you at any time. Deep down, we missed this excitement that was typical of the MMORPGs of the early 2000s. [Download]
Warhammer Odyssey
A massive online role-playing game set in the old world is something we’ve been waiting many years for, since the closure of the iconic Warhammer Online. Even though we don’t like to make comparisons, Warhammer Odyssey lets you relive the sensations of roaming the lands of Warhammer Fantasy with a miniature MMORPG that will take you to well-known locations of the empire like the Drakwald Forest and Marienburg. [Download]
MapleStory M
MapleStory isn’t exactly an unknown saga. It came into existence as a Korean game for PC in 2003, and got turned into a total revolution by exploring other facets of the genre like social interaction and avatar customization. That said, what really makes this game special is its development, completely in 2D, which will make you feel like you’re playing a classic action platformer as you explore this world. It’s a breath of fresh air with big-headed characters and bright colors among so much darkness. [Download]
Old School RuneScape
Don’t be put off by its graphics. A 20-year-old MMORPG that’s still alive and kicking has plenty of reasons for you to give it a chance. RuneScape is larger than life, in fact, it’s a complete second life that doesn’t require you to follow a predictable storyline that leads you to fight against evil. You can simply make a living however you want in its vast universe. This mobile version is nothing more than a client adapted for Android of the old school version of the game. If you want something more contemporary, its authors also offer a revamped version of the original game. [Download]
Bless Mobile
Joycity launched Bless Mobile globally in January 2021 as a mobile adaptation of its PC counterpart, which became free-to-play shortly before. There’s no doubt that its graphics in Unreal Engine are already a plus, in addition to an easy and enjoyable control system. Perhaps it is guilty of resorting too much to auto-run and auto-combat that almost makes you a spectator instead of an active part of the experience, but it’s well known that many players prefer a semi-contemplative experience. We respect that and this is the best option for them. [Download]
Rohan M
Another great of the genre on PC is Rohan Blood Feud. This mobile adaptation brings most of the elements from that one to Android devices, like the seven selectable races, PvP, PvE, cooperative dungeons, a complete pet system, professions, guilds, a self-regulated economic system, etc. It’s an Asian MMORPG with an isometric perspective for anyone looking for something simple and beautiful. Exactly, the perfect mobile game philosophy. [Download]
Black Desert Mobile
One of the most played MMORPGs on PC arrived on Android after several months of waiting, with an international version already in place with servers for every continent. It’s one of the mobile games with the most spectacular graphics that can be seen today and almost as many possibilities as its big brother. [Download]
Perfect World Mobile
The quintessential MMO set in Chinese mythology. With 15 years under its belt, it was only a matter of time until a mobile version of the franchise arrived, considering how many other licenses have already made the leap. You’ll find flying elves, mythological monsters and a whole lot of farming in a fantastic saga where beauty takes precedence. [Download]
AxE: Alliance vs Empire
NEXON is a leader when it comes to MMOs for mobile devices. AxE is an open world MMORPG with visuals that are way above average and incredible features such as massive battles of up to 75v75 as well as other game modes such as PvP and PvE. Two warring parties, each with three different classes and a progression system that’s similar to the popular Lineage 2 Revolution. [Download]
Blade & Soul Revolution
An adaptation for Android of one of the games that’s created the most excitement inside the genre. It’s probably enough to say that it was developed by non-other than NCSOFT, the original creators of Lineage for PC and other works such as Aion. This time, they’ve stayed away from classic fantasy to introduce you to a universe where martial arts and Chinese mythology pave the way. [Download]
Talion
At the beginning of Talion, you will have to select the character you will control throughout this intense adventure developed by Gamevil. Walking through an extensive and realistic world with 3D graphics, you will have to eliminate all the enemies that try to assault your alliance. This will make it essential to make the right decisions in order to create the best combinations of automatic attacks that will put you at an advantage over your opponents. [Download]
Forsaken World: Gods And Demons
In Forsaken World: Gods And Demons, you will have to overcome a major challenge. The King of Hell has planned a terrible invasion of this impressive universe with outstanding graphics, and only your warrior has a chance to stop his plans. Completing different missions and executing attacks, manually or automatically, in each game you will fight to defend the population from these dark forces. [Download]
Ragnarok M
Ragnarok M Eternal Love is one of the many titles that this long-awaited MMORPG has received in the different regional versions in which it has been released. The iconic saga has tried to establish itself in the Android catalog a few times, but it seems like this game is the winner. Beautiful visuals, passion for customization, outfits, colors, and huge social components go beyond killing creatures and completing missions. [Download]
MU Origin
The mobile version of the super-popular MU Online PC version was one of the first “great” ones to arrive. Closely following the tracks of the Asian MMOs, MU Origin embraces Freemium to integrate it in this hybrid that’s almost closer to a hack and slash that’s characteristic in the Diablo saga, than to an online multiplayer role game. [Download]
MU Origin 2
MU Online also presented a sequel that maintains all the hallmarks of its predecessors: Asian MMO with an obsession for constant and disproportionate level-ups and relatively high automation that almost turns it into a simulator to micromanage inventories. Without a doubt, the best in its class. [Download]
MU Origin 3
As all good things come in threes, FingerFun took over the rights of the saga to launch its third part, in which both the characters and the settings are represented with a great level of detail. In MU Origin 3, you will be able to go through an extensive open world where you will even have the option of moving through the air. Thanks to the Unreal Engine 4, the experience when fighting against enemies is taken to another level with spectacular animations. [Download]
Guardians of Cloudia
The land of Cloudia hides many secrets and this makes this MMORPG very interesting. Five different classes will allow you to select the most interesting features when choosing the character with whom you will undertake this adventure. Guardians of Cloudia has the usual control system of the genre, making combining attacks in each PvP battle very intuitive. However, as you explore new areas of the map, you will find new elements and skills to improve each protagonist’s conditions. [Download]
Tales of Wind
Is there anything more Ragnarok, than Ragnarok itself? Although the saga already has a contemporary representative, there are other spiritual heirs. Tales of Wind (also known as Laplace M in some countries) is an all-around adorable game, from its cute and colorful visuals to the nature of the game itself. You can customize your characters, form groups, share living spaces and even get married. An MMO to make you happy. [Download]
Utopia Origin
Another category of massive multiplayer role games focuses on crafting to reach higher levels, much like in ARK: Survival Evolved. That’s exactly what Utopia Origin is all about. Walk around open worlds where you can thrive and build new objects and buildings in order to advance and understand the secrets of the world a little better. All of this with the help of other players, of course. [Download]
Laplace M
In Laplace M, you will be able to choose between being a warrior, cleric, explorer, or mage to face adventures in a magical universe that draws from the Ragnarok saga. With a classic control system, in each game you will complete missions to gain experience and unlock new resources. In addition, as the levels go by, you will obtain a series of cards to summon different pets and creatures that will help you on your way. [Download]
Taichi Panda 3
The first installments of the Taichi Panda saga were super fun 3D action games, but this third part has widened its horizons. This time, you’ll be in an open world filled with tasks to complete. Framed by a humorous tone and an apparent fixation for using different frames (you can even fight in the air), Taichi Panda 3: Dragon Hunter can be equally enjoyed by Chinese mythology fans and Kung Fu Panda fans alike. [Download]
Rise of Ragnarok – Asunder
We could almost consider Rise of Ragnarok the bastard child of the Diablo saga more than it would be of any classic MMO. As we’ve previously mentioned, the crossbreed between genres is popular when transferring the gaming experience into small screens. The mixture can also be witnessed in the settings since they’re a rehash of Egyptian, Nordic and Greek mythologies. Besides that: PvP, guilds, professions, and other equipment come standard. [Download]
Sword and Magic
In Sword and Magic, you will find a universe full of magical elements that you will discover as you go through each area of the map. First of all, you will have to create your character by selecting one of the six different classes. Using more than a hundred different skills that you will unlock, you will embark on different game modes such as PvP or an interesting MOBA mode in which you will fight in teams. All with the objective of increasing experience points by leaps and bounds to make your hero invincible. [Download]
Conquer Online
It is an old acquaintance among fans of the genre that has gradually evolved since its launch on PC back in 2003. In this Android version of Conquer Online, you will select characters of various classes that you will equip with the skills you unlock. Through a gameplay similar to that of Diablo, you will be able to attack opponents in each game while gaining experience and improving your arsenal. [Download]
The Legend of Neverland
In this MMORPG from the GameArk studio, you’ll travel to a beautiful universe called Cabala, in which you’ll experience exciting adventures. Many people are being attacked by evil forces, and you must effectively guide your warrior through each setting. You will even be able to discover some peculiar pets that will help you complete multiple tasks at the same time that you get rid of all the enemies. Always under an attractive online mode that allows to generate synergies with other players from anywhere in the world. [Download]
MARVEL Future Revolution
The characters of the Marvel universe are waiting for you in this MMORPG that also contains action and open world elements. By freely exploring the city’s streets, you will be able to take advantage of Spiderman, Iron Man, or Captain America’s attacks to defeat all the rivals that cross your path. You’ll also do it under realistic 3D settings and a story mode that will mark the course of the game’s storyline. Master all the skills and kill the villains to save the world from destruction. [Download]
Dragon Nest M
Dragon Nest has been around for nearly 10 years on PC with different incarnations of its MMORPG, so its adaptation for Android has generated quite a bit of expectation. With its combat system without automatic aiming, the six original classes from the Windows version, and good graphics, Dragon Nest M earns its spot in the rankings as one of the best. [Download]
Lineage 2 Revolution
We’ve saved the best for last. If World of Warcraft is the most well-known western MMO with most of its success occurring in recent years, Lineage is its Asian counterpart. The Android version includes tons of content that are constantly being updated since its international release: daily missions, world bosses, guilds, PvP arena, mounts, and dungeon raids are just some of the ways you can find happiness in this game.
