Top 10 offline games

Versatile games are known for their convenientce, seeing that we as a whole convey our cell phones with us. Unfortunately a solid association with the web isn't ensured, and that implies games that require an internet based association are significantly less reasonable when you're all over town. Fortunately there are a lot of titles that help disconnected play, making up probably the best Android games around. However, to keep things straightforward, AP has incorporated a rundown of the most pleasant titles that can be played disconnected, and a significant number of them support Android's best regulators. So whether you're hoping to challenge yourself with arcade titles like Super Hexagon or really like to unwind with the sluggish cultivating life found in Stardew Valley, you're covered. How about we dive in!

1. Dead Cells

Dead Cells is one of the best roguelike platformers available on the Play Store. The Android port is fantastic. You can select from 30FPS, 60FPS, and unlimited FPS in the game's settings, and there's also an HD graphics option for everyone with a beefy device. We've spent a lot of time playing this roguelike on Android and can confidently say the game runs like butter at max settings on high-end hardware. While this title demands precision controls, it's fully playable with the touchscreen as well as a physical controller.

Dead Cells is the cream of the crop when it comes to platformers. If you've yet to play, don't miss out because this is a game you can play anywhere.

2. My Friend Pedro: Ripe for Revenge

My Friend Pedro first made waves on the PC and Nintendo Switch, where you utilize a slick slowdown mechanic to take down your enemies. Seeing that the console/PC game was based on a popular Flash game, it makes sense that the game would come to mobile, thanks to simple controls. We didn't get a direct port of the console game, but we did get a mobile offshoot that plays on a 2D plane, and it's just as great. Plus it can be played offline, which makes it a perfect title for this roundup.

My Friend Pedro: Ripe for Revenge is free to try. If you like what you see, unlock the full title in its entirety for $3, making this a premium release.

3. Grand Mountain Adventure

Winter sports games used to be highly popular back in the PS1/PS2 days. The genre has fallen by the wayside, with only Ubisoft carrying the AAA mantle. Since then, Toppluva AB created one of the best winter sports games in recent memory. Even though it's a mobile game, it's jampacked with content that can all be played offline.

There's a total of seven open-world mountains to explore, adding up to more than 100 challenges spread across these maps. You can ski, you can snowboard, and controller support is included. There's even a free-play zen mode for those who want to hit the slopes. All around, it's a great game that shouldn't be missed, especially if you're a huge Coolboarders/SSX fan.

4. Monument Valley

An oldie but a goodie, Monument Valley is a slick puzzle game where you interact with each level, bending it to your will to ensure your character moves to their desired position to solve the puzzle. The graphics are slick, the controls are responsive, and the game is challenging. It's everything a game should be, and it's also perfect for mobile, thanks to its bite-sized gameplay.

While there is a license check after installing the game, after connecting on your first boot up, you're good to play without an internet connection, which is precisely why Monument Valley is in today's roundup. It's a great game to play offline. If you haven't experienced this masterpiece, take it for a spin.

5. Super Hexagon

If you enjoy challenging arcade-style games, you're in luck. Super Hexagon fits that description perfectly. And it's been updated with high framerate support along with controller support, so it's a standout release that's pretty old but still supported. Plus, the entire game can be played offline, making it a perfect title for commuters, thanks to its bite-sized play.

Sessions tend to be quick and failure is a constant, but there is surely something incredibly fun about trying again and again to conquer the game's simple rules and fast motion.

6. Stardew Valley

Stardew Valley is a farming and life simulator, a niche genre with a dedicated fanbase. If you remember having fun with titles like Harvest Moon, this has similar (but more wide-ranging) gameplay. No spoilers. You can easily spend hundreds of hours playing, with lots of replayability.

Sure, things start simple enough by planting a few crops and maybe raising a chicken or two. That's great if you prefer to play at a casual pace. Then again, if you're looking for a game with some depth, not to mention an endless campaign, Stardew Valley is easily a top choice in today's roundup, especially since the game supports gamepads.

This a fun game to play with touch controls on a phone, and you can really dig in on tablets and Chromebooks while out and about thanks to the included controller support and no requirement for an internet connection.

7. Civilization VI

Aspyr media finally brought its mobile port for Civilization VI to Android in 2020. It came as a surprise, but it was a welcome one. Civilization VI is a demanding game, with a map full of units, territories, cities, and AI players feeding a constantly growing simulation. That means performance can dip late-game, especially when it comes to loading times.

The title chugs on the latest iPad Pro as well as the Nintendo Switch, so dropped frames can be expected. Still, the Android version is an absolute joy to play despite some minor issues. The 60-move free trial makes it easy for everyone to test the game to see how it performs on their device before spending a dime.

All around, this is a solid port from Aspyr Media, and it's an absolute blast to play on larger screens such as tablets. Best of all, since you don't need an internet connection to play, it's perfect for portable sessions.

8. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Konami's classic Metroidvania title Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was released on the Play Store to everyone's surprise in 2020, and it's available for $2.99, which is a bargain. If you haven't played SotN, it's a beautiful 2D platformer that offers non-linear gameplay, which encourages exploration.

The primary campaign should take about eight or nine hours to finish, so it will take more than one sitting to work your way through this release. Since you can play offline, you won't have to worry about an internet connection once the game is installed.

9. GRID Autosport

GRID Autosport is a console-quality racer that landed on Android in 2019. The full game can be had for $10, and there are no IAPs or ads, which makes this a premium release. If you've yet to play this racer, it mixes many racing styles, from dirt tracks to city streets, and there are numerous cars to race. In comparison, most racers on Android are free-to-play, so they contain many questionable monetization systems and a requirement for a constant internet connection.

If you've been searching for a premium mobile racer that won't break the bank, can be played offline anytime you want, and offers controller support out of the box, GRID Autosport is the best racer available on the Play Store that fits these requirements.

10. Grimvalor

Grimvalor is an awesome hack-and-slash platformer that includes excellent graphics and a premium price point that can be unlocked through a single $7 in-app purchase. The game supports physical controllers, and you can test the gameplay without going out of pocket since the first act is available for free.

Reviews have remained positive following the game's original release on the Apple App Store in 2018, and the Android port looks and plays as well as it does on iOS. Controllers are supported out of the box, and there's no internet requirement once it's installed. Grimvalor plays well on tablets and phones alike. It's basically a perfect portable hack-and-slash game.
