Since we’re about halfway through the year, it’s time to make a list of videogames for smartphones that have caught our attention. After an incredible effort to create a suitable list, we’ve chosen 15 games that have been launched during 2019. These gather all the qualities that make us excited: originality, quality, and fun. Without further ado, we’ll give you a list of the best of the best for the first semester in 2019.
OverHit
We discovered this game back in 2018 when it was in perfect Korean. Even then, it bewitched us due to its spectacular technical section and its pompous combats. Now that it’s been officially launched around the world, we’re even more comfortable with our decision. We’re talking about a thrilling role game with a long story mode and jaw-dropping visuals. Discover more about OverHit with our gameplay. But we’re telling you right now, it’s totally worthwhile. [Download]
#DRIVE
It’s involuntary, we start yawning a little when we hear about a new car game for smartphones. That’s mainly because of the vast production of clones, of clones of more clones that are already out in the market. But, there’s always room for a little surprise and #DRIVE has earned a spot in hour list with its super entertaining arcade approach. You get to drive to infinity in this game that includes a simple gameplay that’s difficult to master: you have to make sure you don’t run out of gas and that the damages don’t destroy your car.

LifeAfter
To talk about LifeAfter is to talk about the most ambitious survival game that has reached the shores of this mobile source. A technical prodigy that gives you the freedom to do thousands of actions in the midst of a zombie catastrophe where your mission is to survive. Yup, zombies again. Although we learned about it in 2018, it was actually this year when we entered the struggle. Truly an online wonder. [Download]
Another Eden
We’re fully aware that we can be really annoying, but here it goes again: we’re living in a golden age as far as role-playing games go. Smartphones have been the destination of this legendary genre and we’re so thankful. Although there are some pretty iffy games out there, there are other games that definitely deserve some love. Yeah, Another Eden is definitely in that second category thanks to its resemblance to true classics such as Chrono Trigger. We’re talking about a beautiful game with a story that’ll keep you glued to your smartphone’s screen. [Download]
Cyber Hunter
Last year we witnessed the explosion that was the Battle Royales and in 2019 we’re celebrating its establishment as a popular genre. Cyber Hunter is one of those games that was born under the auspicious PUBG and Fortnite. However, it stood out thanks to its futuristic aesthetics. It’s actually closer to cyberpunk which provides the typical military action, this all-against-all deserves your attention due to its technical quality and its intelligent movement system. Oh, and it has a Lite version for lower-ranking smartphones. [Download]
Rangers of Oblivion
It’s pretty common to find games that take after others to find a style of game. Although this is pretty common for iOS and Android games, it’s pretty common in the interactive entertainment world in general. Monster Hunger serves as a clear landmark for Rangers of Oblivion, although GTArcade’s masterpiece has known how to include MMORPG elements to keep it fresh. Let the hunt begin with this spectacular videogame. [Download]
Rebel Inc.
Strategy radically changed its direction with the launch of Plague Inc., a game where your mission is to eradicate humanity. The last game that the incredible Ndemic Creations launched was a little gentler, but not by much: Rebel Inc. is a politic/military simulator where you have to stabilize a country after a war. A video game where each round is different than the las and includes a depth that’s difficult to find for smartphones. [Download]
Magia: Charma Saga
Eternal glory to Action RPGs and the beauty that is called Magia: Charma Saga, an incredible game in every sense of the world. It sounds grandiose, but it’s difficult to find a game that’s as complete in every section. It’s a real shame that the developer of the game has stopped, although NEXON promised that we’ll have news about the new version very soon. We’ll anxiously wait in the meantime. [Download]
Archero
2019 has been the year of the bow and arrow, the protagonists in Archero, one of the surprises during this period of time. A roguelite that’s halfway between The Binding of Isaac and Nuclear Throne where you’ll face unending missions until you’re defeated…and then you get to start all over again. This is a true gem with simple visuals but includes a playability that’s bombproof. Well done. [Download]
Super Mecha Champions
To not applaud to more Battle Royale games would be a sin since this is the year for the genre. But, we’re not about to praise every single game just because it belongs in this popular genre, we need something more. That something more can be found in Super Mecha Champions, a Battle Royale that puts you right in an Evangelion episode. We’re talking about an anime game that includes giant robots. What else could you possibly want? [Download]
War of Magic
A strategy role-playing game? Yes, 1,000 times yes. There are a bunch of examples we could give you but War of Magic has bewitched us. This is a turn-based videogame that borrows its mechanics from classics such as Clash Royale to offer you a role-playing experience that’s a lot deeper than what it may seem like at first glance. This is a beautiful game with an incredibly fun combat system. [Download]
Dawn of Isles
The online role-playing games in persistent worlds have one of the most beautiful examples in Dawn of Isles. The game’s incredible visuals might remind you to Zelda: Breath of the Wild. However, NetEase’s masterpiece doesn’t just include excellent visuals, the gameplay also stands out: it includes an excellent crafting system and simple yet really fun combats. No complaints about it. [Download]
Dota Underlords
This year, we’ve witnessed the birth of a genre that’s on its way to stardom. Auto-Chess is here to stay and there’s no doubt that Dota Underlords is one of the best examples. A game that includes the familiarity of DOTA 2 characters to attract MOBA fans. Although it doesn’t really need it because the game is really unique on its own. Plus, it’s a cross-platform so you’ll face PC players and other platforms of the game. [Download]
Grand Mountain Adventure
The snowed mountains in Grand Mountain Adventure are waiting for you to conquer them with your skis. An incredibly beautiful game that uses the Tilt-shift effect to immerse you in the white hills that are waiting to be discovered. An open-world game like you’ve never enjoyed in Android. And don’t worry if you don’t have an internet connection, you can play it offline. [Download]
Durango: Wild Lands
We’ve been waiting for a long time for Durango: Wild Lands to be launched officially, and now that it’s here, we can finally sleep at night again. This survival totem is finally with us. This Jurassic Park inspired MMO is one of the best productions for smartphones out there. This game is long as you want it to be and includes a prolog that’ll be stuck in your retinas for a while. If you like survival games and you’re tired of zombies, Durango is the best option you can possibly find. [Download]
