2018 was a little short of quality paid games for Android. That's why it took a while for us to gather 20 games that we consider the best of the past year.
For sure the best game of the second half was Monster Hunter Stories, followed closely by Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition. Two RPGs. A proof that the genre is a stronghold of fans who still believe in paid games.
See also part 1 with 20 more paid games for Android, launched in the first half of 2018.
1. Monster Hunter Stories
Released first for Nintendo 3DS, Monster Hunter Stories has arrived in the West completely on iPhone and Android. It was even strange to see a complete paid game, released in the west by a large company (CAPCOM). The RPG has turn-based combat, but this detail, which may annoy some, is compensated with an excellent story and a lot of content to explore.

2. Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition
Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition at No. 3 is proof that RPGs dominate when it comes to paid gaming. All the result of a clientele that does not “drop the bone” of a quality game (they are more than right). The game is a remaster of a PC version and is complete on mobile phones, with all the DLCs, a great XNUMXD RPG.

4. Animus Herald
Animus Herald is like an abridged version of the original game. There isn't as much focus on the story and the game boils down to facing some pretty tough bosses. Still, it's an excellent game for Animus fans, who are most likely Dark Souls fans too.

8. NBA 2K19
It's become a tradition. Every year 2K releases its flagship basketball game franchise on mobile. In 2K19 it keeps the tradition in the right way, a good paid game for Android with first-rate graphics and gameplay that maintains the “console” standard. But the game is very heavy and if you've already bought a previous version, it's not worth it, it's almost the same game as last year.
