3. War Tortoise 2
In this offline game for Android, you control a turtle and small rodents that will face a war where the turtle is a tank.
The novelty of this second game in the franchise is the possibility of using new helper units that range from a rodent knight to a sniper squirrel. The game looks like action, but there's a lot of strategy involved, as it requires more of building your "mini-army" build than the shooting skill itself.

4. ODDMAR (Free to try)
But if you are looking for a game with a good story, our recommendation is Oddmar. I know, we've already talked about offline games in other videos, but believe me, it's really worth downloading and getting to know this game for Android in 2020.

7. GTA V Fangame (2 games or Ruser)
Since time immemorial there has been a rumor that GTA V will come to smartphones with Android. Nowadays, this rumor has come to fruition in two ways: one is game streaming and the other is fangames.
Fangames are games made by fans without any relation to the producer Rockstar. The best known GTA V for Android is NCC, but recently another one, with the introduction of the game, has also arrived on APKs websites.
They are good games to play and show to friends, but they come up against technical limitations of the cell phone's own hardware and limitations of the poor developers. Can you imagine, remaking a game that was made by more than 300 people and with a budget of 265 million dollars?

8. Way of Retribution: Awakening
Another Soul's Like for Android. But this time, this is one of the ones that has the gameplay most similar to Dark Souls. In Way of Retribution: Awakening, we control knights who are ready to end a conflict that has lasted millennia.
That poor soul, and yours too, will be tested in a most difficult game. Way of Retribution retains that tension from every encounter with an enemy. With each enemy we have the feeling that the character will die with a single blow.
Way of Retribution is still in development, the combat mechanics are excellent, but it needs a plot to improve the Lore and add secrets to the castles and churches, which felt a little empty to me.

9. Sport Racing
Sport Racing is one of those offline racing games that are often overlooked. After all, there are so many games on Google Play that gamers tend not to test the games further.
With time trial mode and leagues, this offline game offers simple and straightforward gameplay, but with jaw-dropping graphics. The visuals are very beautiful for a game of only 97 MB.
In addition, it is highly compatible, running at maximum graphics even on old cell phones.

10. Grimvalor (Free to try)
This is one of the games that many Android game fans don't know. From the same producers as the excellent Swordigo, Grimvalor is the “Castlevania/Dark Souls” version of Swordigo. A game with a very beautiful dark look and that appeals to a slightly above common difficulty.
Defeat the dark hordes and King Valor in a breathtaking Action RPG game.
Grimvalor follows Swordigo's formula exactly. You are free to go right or left on a giant map. But if there's one thing that Grimvalor corrected in relation to the producer's first game, it was the graphics. Grimvalor is very beautiful.
However, unlike Swordigo, which was free, only the first act of Grimvalor is free. But it allows you to play almost two hours without any kind of interruption. The complete game costs BRL 22 reais and opens for another 13 hours, totaling 15 hours of gameplay to complete the story. By exploring all the secrets it is possible to spend more than 20 hours in this offline action game.

11. Forgotten Memories
After a long time as an iOS exclusive, Forgotten Memories has finally been released for Android. The horror game is one of the games with the best graphics on Android, bringing improved visuals and already prepared for QuadHD screens.
In Forgotten Memories, the player plays a journalist who will investigate the disappearance of a child. The game has moments that resemble “Silent Hill” and “D”.
Fantastic puzzles and bizarre kids. A disturbing game that doesn't just appeal to scares. You will be able to fight the creatures by shooting them.
The game is paid (I know, I know), but it's really worth knowing, really. Excellent gameplay and that feeling of playing a console game.

12. Hoppia Tale
Do you remember Super Nintendo games like Goof Troop, Bomberman or The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past? Then you need to play Hoppia Tale.
This game mixes action, adventure and puzzle with a very fun combat and movement mechanics.
In the world of Hoppia mysterious portals have arisen. Control a cat and a dog that will travel through different worlds defeating dangerous enemies. Everything is clear, with a lot of cuteness and beautiful pixel art.

13. Green Glass
Green Glass is actually a Chinese game developed by NetEase. Despite not being in our language, the game has almost no dialogue and part of the fun is figuring out how to advance.
Gorgeous graphics and an adventure full of romance await you. Help the noble knight take the maiden to a place of healing.
Although it looks like it's not an open world game, it has very closed episodes. But there is a beautiful example of how mobile games can go beyond momentary fun and offer something more.

14. Johnny Trigger
Imagine John Wick as a stick figure. This is the proposal of the addictive Johnny Trigger. His mission is to defeat mobsters in a frantic shooting game.
In reality, just tapping the screen at the moment when the crosshairs pass the enemies, but that doesn't mean a piece of cake. The start of the game is easy, but that's part of the plan to explain the game's mechanics.
By the 15th level, you'll start to miss some shots and realize the trap you've gotten yourself into, you just can't stop playing this addictive game that is offline.

15. Cup Head fangame (Cup Head Mobile)
There are many types of fan-made games on Android, but Cup Head is one of the best developed. I know it's not an original game, but the game's developer should take a look at this title. Guys are almost done playing almost all Xbox One and PC game on mobile.
All the charisma of the “cup” brothers is available in this game for Android. This fangame has been on the web for a while, but currently it already has a lot of content with many stages and bosses.
The game was so successful that Aptoide has already surpassed 500 downloads.

16. Xtreme Drift 2
Despite its name, Xtreme Drift 2 is a racing game for Android that is offline and offers a lot of content. Anyone who thinks the game is just skidding is wrong.
Even before starting to run, the game features a feature very dear to players, but modifications. You will be able to tune your car in many different ways. Change paintwork, wheels and add parts to make your car awesome.
When it comes to racing, Xtreme Drift 2 features 4 modes: Drift, Race, Free and Online. The first three are offline and only the last one is an online mode against three other players.
Full of day and night races, Xtreme Drift 2 is the ideal option for those who enjoy games like Asphalt 9 or Need For Speed: No Limits, but want to play without internet.

17. Slaughter 3
Offline shooting games are increasingly rare, and with history then. But Slaughter 3 is here to break that fast. Control a policeman who will stop the bandits' spree in a prison after a riot.
But this time the rebellion is a little bigger, the game takes place in a city forgotten by the authorities.
The graphics aren't that pretty, but this allows the game to run smoothly on any smartphone. The highlight of Slaughter 3: The Rebels is really the gameplay.
This is the typical game of passing levels with a third-person view (the one above the head) and where the player explores the scenario looking for items and the exit of each level.
Be sure to check out the two previous games that are good too.

18. Mental Hospital VI
Mental Hospital VI is the latest game in the franchise and is one of the best offline horror games for Android. The game is paid, but it costs a measly 1 real. The horror game has sensational graphics. A great alternative to Forgotten Memories.
An amazing horror game, with excellent graphics and a scare around every corner. It's scary even during the day.
As in other games in the franchise, you are a reporter for a local newspaper and you are invited to see something mystical happening at the Santa Monica Psychiatric Hospital.
Mental Hospital VI is not just a horror game of running away from this or that, you have to fulfill missions and go through various stages. Offline game highly recommended!

19. Mighty Sword
After free classics of the platform genre like Swordigo and Sword of Xolan, Mighty Sword comes to keep the flame of light and free offline games.
Like the other games I mentioned, this one is simple and straight to the point. There are 10 stages full of enemies. Search for three people who have been kidnapped and defeat the forces of evil.

20. Xenowerk Tactics
Command a special operations group that needs to contain an alien infestation. From the same producers of the first Xenowerk, a game that mixes the shooting of the first, with elements of strategy.
Despite looking like just a game with Skirmish Mode, in Xenowerk Tactics we have a story and there's even the possibility to choose a good ending and a bad ending. The game is free to try, but after the first phase you have to pay.

21. World Boxing Tournament 2019
World Boxing Tournament 2019, also known as Shoot Boxing. The game is developed as a martial art from Kick Boxing, but it "was up" to a never-ending bullshit, in the fun sense of the thing.
The characters are all "hard" and the movement is strange. But the gameplay is a lot of fun. Just press all the buttons and try to reach the end. There are 50 challenges with male and female fighters.
It's very funny to see the fight going on, with attempts of Hadoukens and Mortal Kombat "hook".
In addition to the original fighter, you can unlock new ones. To speed up the purchase of characters, you can watch ads. But if you don't want to, that's fine, just play offline.

22 Grid Autosport
There's no way not to talk about this game. GRID Autosport, for sure will appear in many other top games here on Mobile Gamer. A very expensive game that runs only on top-of-the-line cell phones, but it's certainly one of the most satisfying games to play.
After all, this is the same game released for consoles like Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Completely on mobile and with the right to dubbing in Spanish.
Much more racing simulator than other games of the genre, with the right to car damage and much more. But also a great arcade game (just turn on all the aids). This good variety of races and modes make GRID Autosport the favorite game for anyone who has a cell phone and enjoys racing games.
All this with zero built-in purchases and zero hassle. Just pick up and try to finish all the leagues in the game. And look, it will take time. GRID Autosport needs more than 30 hours to complete all the content, with the right to night races, day races, long races, short races and much more. It even has a Formula 1 mini-championship.

23. Planet Hunter
Planet Hunter is an action game where your character is on a mini-planet. In this Arcade Dual Stick Shooter, the mission is to detonate everything in front of you, until you clear the planet and move on to the next one.
As in many games of the genre, the first stages are easy, but then more and more enemies appear and you will need better weapons and power-ups. The game also has three difficulty levels.
Despite appearing to be a small project, the game surprises with good graphics and many stages. Planet Hunter has some performance issues on more modest phones.

24. Stranger Things 3
Stranger Things 3 has arrived to follow up the first game. Yes, we didn't have the second one, which is weird, but that's ok, after all, the name of the series says it all.
Stranger Things 3 follows the same concept as the first game, hiding its quality with graphics that look like they came out of a Java game.
But don't be fooled, this is an excellent adventure game for Android. As in the first one, your mission is to gather the Hawkins gang and for that, you'll have to play with the characters from the series. Each of them has unique abilities that allow them to access new areas, and that's the magic of the game, the backtracking. A great game that still has references to the TV series.

25. RE Merceneries
RE Merceneries is an Android fangame that draws heavily on Resident Evil 5. The game could have been released without many references to CAPCOM games, but the developer chose to use some assets and this resulted in the game being pulled from Google Play.
But the game is still available on APK sites. A good third-person shooter with good graphics. Although similar to Resident Evil 5, this offline game for Android is all about killing hordes of zombies that appear in droves.

26. Reign of Amira: TLK e Arena
Reign of Amira is a series of games developed by chipmaker Qualcomm. Therefore, the game runs better on devices with a Snapdragon processor.
The first game, Reign of Amira: TLK is better. Despite having simpler graphics, it is an action game that is somewhat reminiscent of games like God of War. TLK is divided into stages with bosses.
The second game is simpler. Reign of Amira Arena is based on waves of enemies. Just defeat them within the allotted time. The graphics are better, but the gameplay of the first game is infinitely superior.

27. Prison Survival
This is one of the most searched game themes on Google Play. The big problem is that most of the “Escape from Prison” games are horrible, crude experiences.
Most games of this type hide in fake screenshots and change names constantly. I'm including a prison game, motivated more by high demand.
Of the free ones, the least bad is “Prison Escape Stealth Survival Mission”. What name is that? Hahahaha. Despite the rubbish, this is one of the few games in which there are varied missions. Many free games of this type boil down to beating up guards.
When it comes to paid games, now I highly recommend the great ones: The Escapists 1 and 2. They are hilarious games in which the objective is to collect resources, assemble a plan and escape from jail. However, there is much more strategy involved than action itself.

28. Death Park
Death Park is an offline survival horror game for Android. In charge of a child trapped in a freak park, the player must escape from a crazy clown.
Despite looking like one of those crude games to collect items and escape a threat, Death Park surprises with some puzzles and riddles. The setting is large and allows for a lot of exploration. Another highlight of the game is the fact that it is all in Spanish.

29. Table Top Racing: World Tour (Nitro Edition)
Excellent racing game, very little commented on the internet, as its first version was free, but the sequel is paid.
Tablet Top Racing: World Tour is a toy car racing game. The game is the same game released for Nintendo Switch in 2018.
The highlight of this version is the split-screen racing mode. If you have a smartphone with a big screen, you can play two people using the same device. That's right. Local and offline multiplayer with just a single mobile.

30. BLOOD COPTER
Blood Copter is an action game in which we command a super-armed helicopter. There are several missions with enemies on the ground or in the air. The helicopter has weapons like machine guns, missiles and bombs.
The look resembles something between PS1 and PS2 games. Despite this, the controls are not very usual and will require some practice. Also check out the other game from this producer with planes and helicopters. Both are offline.

31. The Last of Us Mobile
These fangames are getting more and more interesting. And it's not that one guy turned that introductory part of The Last of Us into a mobile game. And it was good.
The graphics somewhat resemble the PS3 version. A fake website was also created, implying that it is an official conversion. But make no mistake, it's all just a fangame with only one level.
It's worth the download just out of curiosity.

32. Desert War
Desert War, the one from the APK, not from Google Play, is an excellent shooter for Android that also has the main feature of being offline. This game was released in 2019 but has been removed from Google Play.
As always, some developers insist on using fake images and this does more harm than good. Due to using fake images the game was removed from the Google store.
But Desert War is really good! It has vast scenarios and scattered enemies, which encourages exploration of the environment. It was enough to improve the AI and add more varied missions.
Anyway, a good offline shooter that we can only find here now. Don't forget to download its APK too.

33. Apple Knight
Apple Knight is an action-packed platform game. Embark on the “apple knight” adventure. The game lacks an exciting story, but it makes up for it with good pixelart graphics and lean gameplay.
The typical jumping and “hitting animals” game that is fun for its simplicity. An easy to beat game that has a very friendly monetization system. Just connect the internet to get rich in the game and buy all items. Something I recommend doing at least as a way of thanking the developer.

34. Ice Scream Episode 2
Ice Scream has just won a new episode. In a sinister neighborhood, a child is kidnapped by an ice cream man.
It's time to stop the plans of Rod, a crazy ice cream man who is terrorizing his neighborhood.
The horror game, for kids, for me it's more of an adventure, it's totally free. But it displays some ads while playing the game. However, it allows you to play offline without any difficulty.

35. Graveyard Keeper
Hey, where's Stardew Valley? You must be thinking. The reason it's not included in the list is that I've already talked about this game so much that it gets kind of boring. So the tip is to check out our top of the best games of 2019, our Mobile Gamer Awards.
To compensate, and to close the list of offline games 2020 with a flourish, I present to you Graveyard Keeper. This RPG game is a pseudo-clone of Stardew Valley but instead of having a pretty little farm, in this game, you take care of a graveyard.
The game is paid and a little more expensive than Stardew Valley itself, but it's very cool, you'll manage medieval cemeteries. There are very bizarre moments like burying people victims of the Black Plague or throwing bodies in the river.
Initially I was going to put Harvest Town on the list, but the game, free and still in early access, decided to go 100% online. What made it out of our top, at the time of conclusion of the article.
