Top 5 best offline mobile games

Mobile games are great for fun and killing time on the go. While playing on a smartphone is a great way to enjoy video games for many, some often play on PCs and consoles, while keeping their smartphones as a backup gaming device when you don't have access to your PC or console.

However, most of today's games are cloud-based, requiring a stable connection via Wi-Fi or your data system to play. Other popular examples include Call of Duty Mobile, FIFA Mobile, Between Us and PUBG Mobile. While this is good, you may not have reliable access to it every time you play. This is why many players tend to load their devices with certain offline games. Here are some of the best offline games you can find on both Android and iOS.

1. Alto’s Odyssey

(Android – FREE, iOS – Rs 499)

Alto's Odyssey is an endless running game that does not require an internet connection. You can slide down the various slopes throughout the game while collecting coins. The various elements of the world you encounter create great stunt-jump opportunities, offering extra money. The highlight of the game is its simple, fun game with beautiful colorful graphics. The free version delivers ads from time to time, but you can also pay a one-time fee for non-ad-free information.

2. GRID Autosport

(Android, iOS – Rs 900)

A racing game from the popular GRID series, GRID Autosport takes you racing on the tracks. With full controller support, lots of content and many races, players can be entertained for hours. The game is based on the PS3/Xbox 360 title of the same name so you get great graphics and good gameplay.

3. Friday the 13th

If you’re into games based on horror, puzzles, or both, Friday the 13th is the most enjoyable title on the App Store shelves. Putting you in the shoes of Jason Warhis, Friday the 13th will take you to 100 levels full of gore, where you have to slaughter all the people while avoiding cops, traps, land mines and more. Although not suitable for all audiences, if you are old enough, the game can be hours of unlimited fun.

4. Minecraft

(Android – Rs 650, iOS – Rs 599)

If you’re a gamer, you probably have heard of Minecraft already, that is if you don’t already have it on either your PC or your phone. Despite its lack of a plot and minimal graphics, Minecraft continues to be a very popular title across platforms for its endless possibilities. Players can build their own worlds and play in them without requiring a connection. There are also extra skins that can be purchased.

5. The Room series

(Android – Free to Rs 380, depending on the version)

The Room series of puzzle games feature puzzles that force you to brainstorm along with graphics that look great. Each of the games puts you in a room that you must escape by solving the corresponding puzzles. The simple concept means you don’t deal with any ads or in-app purchases. While the game is offline, you will need to be connected if you want to use the auto-save feature so keep that in mind.
