Top Android RPGs
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2
A classic, now brilliantly adapted for touchscreens. Massive in scope, filled with compelling characters, and truly captures the essence of Star Wars.
Neverwinter Nights
For fans of dark fantasy, this enhanced Bioware adventure set in the Forgotten Realms is a must-have.
Dragon Quest VIII
Often cited as the best Dragon Quest game, and a top-tier mobile JRPG. Square Enix's careful port ensures smooth portrait mode gameplay, even on the go.
Chrono Trigger
A legendary JRPG, now playable on mobile. While not the ideal platform for this classic, it's a viable option.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions
A timeless strategy RPG that remains incredibly fun. A strong contender for the ultimate strategy RPG on mobile.
The Banner Saga
A dark, challenging, and strategic experience (note: the third entry requires a different platform). Think Game of Thrones meets Fire Emblem.
Pascal’s Wager
A top-tier action RPG, not just on mobile, but overall. Packed with content and innovative ideas.
Grimvalor
A superb side-scrolling Metroidvania RPG with stunning visuals and a Souls-like progression system.
Oceanhorn
A fantastic non-Zelda experience, and visually impressive. (Sequel is Apple Arcade exclusive).
The Quest
A frequently overlooked first-person dungeon crawler inspired by classics like Might & Magic. Features hand-drawn visuals and ongoing expansions.
Final Fantasy (Series)
Several excellent Final Fantasy titles (VII, IX, VI, among others) are available for Android, offering a diverse selection of RPG experiences.
9th Dawn III RPG
A massive top-down RPG with extensive content, monster recruitment, and even a built-in card game.
Titan Quest
A mobile port of the classic Diablo-like hack-and-slash. While not perfect, it's a decent option if you lack other choices.
Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth
A fantastic RPG based on Norse mythology, well-suited for mobile play with its convenient save system.
