In response to requests, we started a new Android games list category. There are 10 amazing games whose main feature is that they are very light and do not require internet (No WiFi/4G).
Criteria for a game to be defined as “light”
- Don't consume a lot of battery
- Doesn't require a lot of processing power
- Have less than 200 MB of Download
In short, this list will not contain games that have few MBs, but require a lot of the device like Asphalt Nitro and Lara Croft Relic Run. The list is intended for medium or basic cell phones and tablets, but it can also be used by those who have a powerful cell phone, but do not want to see their battery drained by a few hours of gaming.
