If there is a trendy genre, it is, without a doubt, battle royale. This one-versus-all formula in which only one player can survive has become one of the most requested game modes by players. That has led many developers to look for creative ways to twist that idea, leaving aside the more traditional Fortnite or PUBG Mobile-style approaches. Nowadays, many mobile battle royale games try to offer something different, while others aim to refine the genre from its most essential form. In this post, you will find an extensive list of the best battle royale games for Android that you can play in 2023.
Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile
Although it does not yet have an exact release date, the new Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile ranks as one of the most popular mobile battle royale games. It is an adapted version of its popular free battle royale. In it, you will return to Verdansk to engage in tense deathmatch battles. Moreover, it includes progress related to the major installments of the saga, which will allow you to keep some of the skins, outfits and skills won with your account. [Download]
Happy Zone
Happy Zone challenges you to survive in a multiroom setting in which you will have to face other players and a mysterious green substance that will stick to the surface of the map. You will have a customizable arsenal to defend yourself while running at full speed, trying not to get caught by the substance. [Download]
Free Fire Max
A new installment of the world’s most downloaded Android video game is something to look forward to. Free Fire needed an in-depth update, and here it is: better graphics, higher resolution and several visual effects that you can enable as you wish. Other than that, the game remains the same, so you could almost call it a remastering. [Download]
PUBG New State
PUBG Mobile continues to be a worldwide revolution that does not stop receiving content with each new season. New State is the long-awaited leap forward for the saga on mobile devices, which jumps several years into the future to offer a new game map (called Troi) and an endless array of new weapons and customizations. Following the success of its highly anticipated release, the title has recently partnered with Among Us to produce a crossover that will prove to be memorable. [Download]
Armajet
Armajet is different from the rest of the battle royales on this list because it is presented in a 2D side perspective. Moreover, it is a multiplayer shooter in which you control a super soldier fully armed to kill your enemies before they kill you. Its frenetic gameplay is set in competitive four-on-four matches in lightning rounds lasting just three minutes. [Download]
Fortnite
Fortnite offers multiplayer online battles in which 100 players will engage in fierce survival fights until only one winner remains. It is an adaptation for mobile devices of Epic Games’ title in which both the setting and the gameplay system remain completely intact. [Download]
Super Mecha Champions
Super Mecha Champions adds to the formula a very interesting element, the possibility of piloting giant robots fallen from the sky for a limited time, making them appear sooner by collecting objects or wiping out other enemies. This incentive, together with its original anime aesthetics, make it one of the battle royale games that has best withstood the course of time. [Download]
Farlight 84
Another battle royale that has won the trust of more and more players over time. Although it has not yet been released globally, Lilith Games hit the nail on the head by creating an eye-catching Fortnite-inspired video game that you will have a blast playing. As you harvest items and weapons throughout the map, you will have to resort to energy points to recharge your jetpack. Thus, each of the characters you control will survive even in spite of the numerous difficulties and rivals that will complicate your adventure. [Download]
Zooba
Zooba is an original twist to battle royale. Here you play the role of a small animal whose goal is to be the last survivor of a warlike zoo. Your skills will depend on the species you choose at the beginning of the game, but all of them can use fire weapons and tools that you’ll pick up along the way. It can be played solo or in a group with friends and has already become one of the most popular Android games as it combines battle royale with MOBA mechanics (League of Legends-style). [Download]
Rocket Royale
Rocket Royale also draws from Fortnite’s mechanics to take you to an island from which you have to escape before it’s too late. Something that is quite striking is that in this title there are two ways to win. The first, the most traditional method within the genre, will challenge you to stay alive until all your opponents are defeated. The second one, much more original, is to assemble a rocket to fly off into outer space and leave this hostile place behind. [Download]
Cyber Hunter
Initially known as Project Battle, and after several limited betas launched throughout 2018, we finally got to enjoy the final version of the game that, after several regional editions, gave way to the global version that can be played internationally without geographical limitation. Pure Fortnite spirit with the option to erect defensive buildings. [Download]
Stumble Guys
The best Fall Guys clone for Android may not seem like a regular battle royale to many. However, this video game features a lot of action and survival to lead you relentlessly toward hilarious tests that will put your skills to the test. Reaching the finish line in the first positions will be essential if you want to avoid being part of the group of characters that will be eliminated. Stumble Guys’ control system is so simple that you won’t be able to stop enjoying its addictive levels. [Download]
FOG Battle Royale
FOG Battle Royale is a multiplayer action game that combines battle royale and MOBA in matches that take place on a huge island full of weapons and monsters, where a deadly fog will also be delimiting the safe zone. The goal is to become the last player standing, although with the difference that the games have a relatively short duration since, instead of competing against a hundred opponents, you will only fight against twenty. Therefore, it would be normal for there to be a winner in less than ten minutes. [Download]
Knives Out
NetEase knows how to take advantage of the situation, as evidenced by the half-dozen titles it has published in the genre. Knives Out is the closest to PUBG Mobile by offering exactly the original premise, with the added bonus of enabling detailed customization of the hub. [Download]
Cyber Space
A world of cyberpunk aesthetics will make its way into your Android device to take you into exciting games of twenty minutes duration. Leading the steps of a brave character equipped with state-of-the-art armor and rifles, in each assault, you will join forces with three teammates to try to survive. A simple control system, the possibility of increasing the size of arms or legs and outstanding graphics will make you enjoy every fight. [Download]
Ride Out Heroes
Ride Out Heroes also relies on a hybrid formula inspired by Hi-Rez Studios’ Realm Royale. Instead of offering a level playing field, there are different characters with unique skills at your disposal. That and its intoxicating graphics and an aesthetic halfway between steampunk and epic fantasy make it a unique game. [Download]
Rules of Survival
NetEase also wanted to jump on the bandwagon with its Rules of Survival, a pioneer in offering 120-player battles, even more than the original PUBG. In addition, its constant updates loaded it with additional game modes, making it unique compared to other more conservative proposals. [Download]
OutFire
OutFire is a shooter in which you will join a team of four players to try to destroy your rivals. This will be done through challenging settings full of elements in which each team will have a flag to protect while attacking the opponent’s area. In its battle royale mode, you’ll fight for survival in this non-stop multiplayer massacre. Wipe out all your enemies and be the last one standing. [Download]
Creative Destruction
Undoubtedly, the most popular Fortnite clone on Android. The whole formula is replicated to the letter, including its seasonal upgrade system, the destruction of elements in the setting to obtain resources and the construction of ramps and defensive walls. That said, without the monstrous technical requirements of Epic’s title, which is saying something. [Download]
Free Fire
Let’s just say one thing: Free Fire – Battlegrounds is currently by far the most downloaded Android video game on Uptodown, with over 30 million downloads. If these are not enough for you, it is worth mentioning that its technical requirements are minimal and it can run decently on mid-low range terminals. It can also be updated regularly and offers a more than worthy gaming experience. [Download]
PUBG Mobile
Obviously, it was inevitable to mention the official title developed by Bluehole in collaboration with Tencent. It is virtually the same experience as on PC and consoles, including the maps and weaponry of the original title. In addition, it keeps offering new content and collaborations as unimaginable as the Zombie mode endorsed by Capcom and its Resident Evil saga. [Download]
Heroes Strike
We finish with Heroes Strike, another MOBA and battle royale hybrid. In this game, you control a character that will become more powerful as you kill your opponents and unlock new attacks, each one more devastating than the last. There are a total of four arenas to play in, with a roster of more than 20 heroes, each with their own skills and roles. [Download]
