3. Darkness Rises

Nexon's big hit for 2018. Darkness Rises is an online RPG that could very well pass for an offline game. The game focuses like few on singleplayer, with the right to a story in Spanish.

4. GrandChase

Another big surprise of 2018. So, out of nowhere, GrandChase was announced for cell phones with Spanish dubbing and subtitles. The game is a little different from the original and focuses its gameplay on a combat system that mixes action and strategy. The story mode is also well resolved and encourages the player to finish it.

5. PUBG Mobile Lite

One of the great successes (or not) of Tencent was to launch a Lite version of PUBG Mobile, intended for more modest devices, the game still doesn't run lighter than the competition, but it's already a great advance. However, it's still in beta and that's why it's not that famous.

6. Aqua Moto Racing 2

Definitely one of the best free Android games of 2018. Aqua Moto Racing 2 is a simple, offline sports game. It doesn't mess around and tries to deliver the purest arcade-style fun to the player. Complete jetstki races in this addictive game.

7. Final Fighter / Soul Warrior

Removed from Google Play without warning, this amazing fighting game is available in APK Pure. If anyone asks you what a free mobile fighting game should look like, the answer is Final Fighter. The game won a Chinese version under the tutelage of the powerful Tencent, which remodeled some things. The game remains practically the same and even gained characters from SNK (officially).

8. Contra Return

Although not available on Google Play in Spain (yet) this release is not to be missed. We had already talked about Contra Return before, but it turns out that the game won an English version. The new version licensed by Tencent is an addictive online action game that pays homage to the Contra games of the past.

9. Shining Force Classics and other SEGA classics

During 2018, SEGA kept its promise to release free games from its old franchises. Unmissable Mega Drive and Dreamcast classics. In order not to leave the list polluted, we have gathered all free SEGA games in a single topic.

Shining Force Classics
Sonic CD Classic
Street of rage 2

10. Rebirth M

If Lineage 2 Revolution had goosebumps in the first half, Rebirth M kept the flame of 3D MMORPGs alive in the second. The game stands out for having a system of "transformations", which allows your character to become a completely different one. Most of the time, you will transform into a very powerful giant demon.

11. SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI D×XNUMX

One of the proofs that RPGs don't always have to be "medieval". With a very current theme, the game puts the player in the shoes of demon hunters who use the cell phone as a weapon. The story is very cool and the gameplay mixes traditional RPG with elements of “Pokémon”, as it is possible to befriend some demons and use them to your advantage.

12. Cube Escape Paradox

Paradox is the tenth game in an offline game franchise. Available to play via browser or on mobile, this game is completely free. From the Adventure genre, this series puts the player to investigate strange huts and find out what's going on. Along the way, we don't understand if Paradox is a game or a web series? Just getting to the end to find out.

13. Hungry Dragon

Free and offline games for Android are getting rarer and rarer. Hungry Dragon is a pleasant surprise and one of the most fun games of 2018. In the same style as the classic Hungry Shark, in this game, the objective is to feed hungry dragons, whether with humans or other animals. The 3D graphics are amazing and light at the same time.

Our top 25 free Android games are always stuck for variety. And in September we had quality free games for all tastes. A good example is the cardgame Warhammer AoS: Realm War, a “Clash Royale”, but with a much more epic theme.

17. Slime Room

Very good platform and action game in the style of Super Meat Boy. That kind of game that demands precision and has a sadistic difficulty. It's also offline.

18. Maze: The Shadow of Light

There's no way to hide it, 2018 was the year of RPGs on Android. Even with all the noise of Battle Royale, I've never seen so many RPGs released online as in 2018. But along with quantity, there's also quality. Maze, for example, is an excellent game that mixes action, good graphics and lots of content to explore.

19. Dragalia Lost

An RPG “by Nintendo”. Without any mention of old franchises, Big N went there and released a new IP. The game made for mobile can be played vertically. It has a good story and cool animations. Not to mention it's quite light.

20. ShellFire

Many games have long sought to be a “mobile overwatch”. The nickname, forced to exhaustion by youtuber never stuck. But of all, Shellfire is one of the most promising precisely for not betting only on the “Hero Shooter” formula. The game has zombie and battle royale modes.

Candy Crush Friends is basically the same game as before, but with new characters that help during the most difficult puzzles. A simple but very fun game. It's on our list of the best free games precisely because it's offline and a great hobby.

22. Hundred Soul

Hundred Soul was one of the most impressive graphics RPGs of 2018. Console quality visuals. Although the same cannot be said for the gameplay. This game has moments with combats that will remind you of Devil May Cry. The animations are super fluid.

24. Billion Lords

Strategy game where you are the villain. The objective is to set up defenses for your dungeon and send the heroes to the other spiritual plane. A very fun game, but it does require an internet connection. I don't know what for.

25. F1 Mobile Racing

F1 Mobile Racing let me down a bit. I already expected an online racing game, but honestly I expected more. The game focuses on short, repetitive races against other players. But for those who enjoy Formula 1 games, it's still a good pastime.
