TL;DR
Popular Titles
Several popular mobile MMORPGs have been highlighted across discussions. Albion Online is frequently mentioned for providing a consistent experience across both mobile and PC platforms, though it has a competitive PvP system [3:2],
[4:9]. Black Desert Mobile is another well-known title praised for its graphics and gameplay
[5:1].
Community and Gameplay
Ragnarok Mobile is noted for its strong community and extensive content, offering nostalgia for long-time fans of the series. However, it does have a pay-to-win aspect for hardcore players [5:2]. Toram Online is appreciated for its customization options and vibrant community
[5:3], making it a favorite among mobile gamers.
Unique Features
Pokemmo stands out for its unique blend of Pokémon gameplay in an MMO format. It has received praise for being engaging over extended periods, unlike many other mobile MMOs [4:1],
[4:5]. EVE Echoes offers a simplified version of EVE Online, maintaining the cutthroat nature of its PC counterpart while being more accessible
[5:6].
Auto-play and Accessibility
For those who prefer games without auto-play, Warhammer: Odyssey is recommended for its manual gameplay style [5:5]. However, opinions on its engagement and graphics vary
[5:8]. Sprite Fantasia provides a newer option with less frequent interruptions during auto-play
[5:4].
These recommendations offer a diverse range of experiences catering to different preferences in gameplay, community involvement, and accessibility. Whether you're looking for intense PvP action or a casual community-driven experience, there's likely a mobile MMORPG that fits your needs.
Hey guys. I know mobile gaming probably isn’t the most popular topic here, but I’m currently quarantined with my girlfriend away from home and so I don’t have access to my PC. Thus, I’ve been doing a fair bit of mobile gaming lately (I’m using iOS on an iPhone X).
I’m mostly looking for either open world adventure RPGs, action RPGs, or hardcore isometric RPGs. MMOs are also welcome. I prefer games with tons of customization and character development, especially those where you can really customize your class and play style with tons of freedom. What are your personal favorites? Any thoughts/opinions/discussion is more than welcome and appreciated.
PS - some of my current favorites are Exiled Kingdoms, Anima ARPG, Adventure Quest 3D, and Arcane Quest Legends. Would love to find games similar to any of those.
The Baldur’s Gate series is available on mobile!
How is the mobile port?
Full disclosure- I played through them on my tablet. But I found them to be really easy to navigate! I imagine on a phone, a stylus would be necessary
I have a bigger phone and found it still too small. Needs a tablet imo
The quality of the port overall is exceptional, but there ARE issues with using a touch interface instead of kb/m. BG1 works well enough, but generally speaking the more complex the combat encounter, the more difficult the interface is going to be--as it's difficult to juggle frequent pausing and ability usage. This mostly becomes a problem with BG2 and it's much higher-level play.
In general I'd say PSTEE is the best IE game to play on mobile due to the simplicity of its combat encounters.
Not into mobile games, but i know there is a number of classic bioware games like baldurs gate 1&2 ,star wars KotOR and Jades empire. Hope this helps
I've never played KOTOR but it's on Android for five bucks right now so I'm gonna finally check it out
The first act is kinda tedious but it’s really worth it. Have fun
KOTOR is on sale on Google Play
Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions is a great tactical RPG, and the controls aren’t half bad on iOS. I’ve played it a significant amount on there. Highly recommend!

Sorcery! 1-4 and 80 Days.
They are masterpieces.
Choice of games are great too.
For reference my favorite RPG series is Dragon Age, followed by Fallout I guess. Warframe is badass as well. I know there obviously aren't any Triple A RPGs on mobile but if there's something you enjoy on there you should share it.
Kotor is on mobile and runs rather well.
The Infinity Engine games (BG 1+2, IWD, PST) are on there as well I believe, but while they run on phones, they're probably better suited for tablets.
Can't believe I didn't think to mention the BG games! You're right about phone vs tablet though, I've played BG1 & 2, as well as KOTOR, on both a 7 and 10 inch tablet, and briefly tried BG1 on my phone. The 7" tablet felt like the absolute minimum I'd want to play at, the 10" is unsurprisingly way more comfortable to play on, and my phone was just far too fiddly
Tablet versions of infinity engine and kotor are amazing. If they're not AAA i don't give a shit what is
Got BG1 for my phone, everything is too tiny to see, and there's no pinch-zoom. Considering rooting my Kindle just to play it.
You can try enabling zoom in the accessibility settings, at least on iPhone. Android probably has a similar feature.
If you want a surprisingly good free to play gacha jrpg that can actually be completed without paying anything, another Eden is pretty great.
I can second this. The gatcha element is only for more heroes, but its expensive to buy them with money. You get a lot ot the currency in game to buy them. Been playing for months and haven't spent any money.
I see many people on Reddit showing off Open Morrowind on their phones. Unfortunately I wouldn't have the first clue of how to get it running. Then there is the Enhanced editions of Baldur's Gate 1 & 2.
It's pretty easy if you're on Android. IIRC it's downloading openmw on your phone and just dragging morrowinds files into it
Final Fantasy Tactics is on phones and it's one of the greatest RPGs of all time
Just a heads up, the Android version does not support save anywhere, which made it pretty much unplayable for me given the length of time battles often take.
Says it's 50% off in the playstore atm too. Thanks, I picked it up because of your post. Have read great things about it, can't wait to try it. :)
Do you prefer mobile MMO’s over a full fledged PC Mmo?
I have a gaming PC but I also have an iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Both awesome for gaming. Sometimes I find myself wanting to play games on my iPhone over my high end PC just for the flexibility. Curious of who else also owns a high end pc but still chooses to game in their phone.
Albion. Same experience on mobile as pc. PvP is a little difficult depending on the weapon
You’re not going to find many worthwhile MMOs on mobile, unfortunately.
RuneScape & Albion are the two I can think of that are reputable and not auto/P2W. They have similar game philosophies (pretty sure RS inspired Albion).
I played a little bit of Toram and it’s reminiscent of old school MMOs, still not my favorite.
Tarisland is coming out in the next year or so. It’s a Chinese MMO that’s a WoW clone (or so I’ve read). I’ve been watching it and cautiously optimistic for its release.
Heartwood online has no p2w at all, and is made by a small indie dev team.
Thank you for recommending. I’ll give it a shot. I haven’t had much success with this 2D pixel MMOs but this one looks promising.
Chinese MMO = money grab
Is it mostly nostalgia at this point? I tried it for the first time on mobile and it really doesn't seem that great. Tap to move controls, tiny interface, I can't see what the heck is going on on the map with how crowded it all is.
And then I looked up what kind of features to expect, and you can't form parties with others? And high end PvP involves switching gear out rapidly and is essentially impossible on a mobile phone?
It seems like the mobile version is just to grind tree cutting or something while you're away from your desktop, and it isn't meant to be played fully mobile. Maybe I'm missing something though.
Tbh I still play but on pc. Content is still being added and updated, the player count is still pretty high
I find myself playing more of Diablo Immortal for the social and multiplayer even if I like Path of Exile much much more. Undecember is also neat, feels more like PoE, but I find the difficulty scaling weird even if it really has so much potential.
Played Adventure Quest 3D for a bit, is nice. But I don't have time for it right now. Could really use a UI upgrade this one to make things tidy.
I also play Torn City via Torn PDA, but torn on a web browser is also as convenient.
I'm also currently treating online-go.com as an MMO rofl vis Surround app if via an app. I love it for the pvp strat ala war game:Civ vibes it gives me.
I also played the other mmos eg Runescape, Albion, Eve Echoes, Aethric, Orna, etc but they were just too time consuming for me for the joy they give me.
Dofus/Wakfu seem nice but the touch versions are truly different from the desktop ones. Not enough time for me too.
FarmRPG and Cybercode Online also are neat.
Not mmos per se but online games, but I much prefer playing Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail on mobile too. I am just on pause on them but I don't feel like I'm losing out much on pausing on them since they're pretty mucu single player focused.
I haven’t played Diablo Immortal for a pretty minute, and even then I haven’t played it a ton, but allegedly semi-recently it got a ton better.
I think if you go into it knowing it’s pay to win and don’t try to be the best on the server, but just the best you can be as F2P you’ll have fun.
Aside from PvP, that’s 100% P2W
Farmrpg ia fun but time consuming and p2w
How is it MMO? Is it mmo only because sometime you can see other player on the map or because there is a chat? lol
My issue with this game is that it doesnt play like an MMO. I play it and I end up playing solo 99.9% of the time. My brother and I actively try to do things together but the exp gain or item drops are better off solo every time (like Slayer or Dungeoneering). I end up just cutting trees for hours at a time or fishing alone at my fishing spot forever. Bosses aren't that exciting to do as a group thing either as it feels very underwhelming.
LF a mobile mmo thats worth getting into right now I dont mind auto since its more of a side game thing for me when playing OSRS or on my phone. Thanks to anyone for your Rec!
Pokemmo
I can’t recommend this game enough. I’ve spent years trying different mobile MMOs and I always get bored within a week or so. This is the first mobile mmo that I’ve consistently played for months and I see no end in sight.
The biggest hurdle is trying to get friends to play because of the initial setup (which is not even hard btw).
Play it!
Just started this myself a few days ago, I only ever played Pokemon Red when it came out and I'm having a blast. Started in the Black and White region then gonna continue all the regions I haven't played.
You have to download the APK? it's not in the app store?
Just search pokemmo on Google and you'll see their official website, from their you have to register in their site
Just started pokemmo couple of weeks ago and it's the first mobile game I've ever truly enjoyed.
Once Human. Suprisingly similar to full PC version with obvious provisions for mobile play such as epic aim assist
I didnt play it on PC but I started playing as soon as it hit mobile.
Iruna Online
Toram online.
Integral factor
Aura Kingdom II Evolution
Albion is pretty cool but it has that "sweaty ppl killing players and stealing their loot" kind of system.
Eterspire
looks cool
I will try someday :O
I literally didnt see any popular mmorpg other than Black desert mobile, Albion online, Mir4 and maybe Aq3d so do you have any popular and good mmorpg? Thanks
Ragnarok Mobile. It has a good community, years and years of content to do and even the grind is fairly mild for the casual player. The nostalgia deep dive is amazing in it.
If you are hardcore player, the game has a P2W brick-wall for dps players and the grind for the optimised equipment is brutal.
Asobimo has a lot of great MMO, the best would be Toram
Sprite Fantasia, it's newer and I don't have to I terrupt autoplay every .5 seconds. Generic mobile anime mmorpg though
Arcane Legends and Pocket Legends
Toram
Bit Heroes
Order & Chaos
if you are looking for mmorpg without auto play is Warhammer: Odyssey i love it so far been playing it for a week
It's not showing up in play store?
i just tried the link it work perfect
I love warhammer lore but could not get into this game. It felt very bland in every aspect. Graphics are plain and game play was not engaging
Give it a longer try i guess you will like it other wise those are my top mmo's that i am playing atm i give each one an hour a day or something depends on when i open them i will arrange them depends on how much i spend time playing them and how much i like them:
Those are RPG's:
2- Black Desert
3- Dragon Raja
7- V4
8- AxE
10- Bless
11- Silkroad from time to time
12- Conquer Online
Action MMO:
1- Life After
There is a Europe Server on Taptap called Nightfall or if you live in Europe you can find it directly on play store
2- Grand Criminal Online The beta on Taptap
EVE Echoes, it's a simpler, smaller version of EVE Online, but it also is as cutthroat as it's bigger brother. Also, for some reason, corps aren't as hardcore as in their PC counterpart, so in most cases nobody is gonna ask you to set an alarm at 4 am to fleet up and bash some random structure on enemy territory.
Since I recently launched a system that lists and ranks the highest-rated games covered each year on MiniReview, I figured it was time to celebrate! :)
Check it out: Best Mobile Games of (year)
The page continuously updates weekly and ranks the games with gold / silver / bronze stars (a bit like in a tier list). And you can keep scrolling to find the best games of earlier years too.
I hope it can become a handy page to share when your friends ask “Did any good mobile games release this year?”. Or when you just need to quickly catch up.
The prize?
To mark the launch, 1 random lucky winner will get a brand new mobile-compatible Xbox controller (ordered via Amazon).
It’s my personal favorite to use with a phone, and I figured it’d be the obvious gift since many of the best mobile games now support external controllers (here’s 500+ of them).
HOW DO I WIN?
The event runs until September 29th at 10am GMT+1, and the winner will be picked at random from the comments in this thread + the one over on r/AndroidGaming + r/iosgaming and then contacted via a Reddit private message (please make sure to have DMs enabled or you won’t be able to win!).
So, what else has been added lately?
Thanks for the fantastic support and feedback over the years. It’s such a big motivation for me. New Friday post with recommendations coming again this week, of course - as always <3

I mean COD is one of my standard go-tos just cuz it's fun. But I also like Oceanhorn 2, ZZZ, and Brawl Stars with my nephew.
Nice Idea, I still like dead cells but there must be more, I do find it challenging to find new (good) games.
Grid Legends and Genshin Impact are two that I spend too much time on.
Hi,
Congrats to Minireview team, and thanks to the community ! Here's my favorite games on Android (not ranked) :
Strength to devs and studios, and keep going !
Holy smokes, what a list, mate! :) Thanks a bunch for taking the time to share them all here. Nice picks too, hehe.
Good also check our list in YouTube.gr/ThanosAtha
Supercell, a company renowned for its unparalleled success in the mobile gaming market, is now setting its sights on a new frontier: MMORPGs. This move positions them squarely against established contenders like Albion Online and Diablo Immortal. A significant challenge facing the MMORPG market, particularly on mobile, is the dwindling player time for extensive grinding.
Albion Online, primarily a PC game, is structured for players who can dedicate substantial time to gameplay. Diablo Immortal, conversely, targeted casual players but became notorious for one of the most egregious paywalls ever implemented. Interestingly, the core design of "MO.CO" appears to be an effort to satisfy players from both these colossal titles.
MO.CO seems to adopt a hybrid approach, integrating several key features:
Given these observations, I am keenly interested to see Supercell's strategy unfold in this new market. I welcome further contributions and discussion on this intriguing development.
Hope they do something about the end game content
You can't even download the game on any stores yet. im sure they will do something regarding the endgame, lol
They fk up Moco too badly. Think it’s well outta the conversation now.
Damn ai post 🤣
AI slop post regurgitating information everyone knows. GTFO karma farmer
Whatever they do , whoever they take inspiration from , I just want this game to SUCCEED 🤞🤞
Exactly as the title says. I am not very well informed in the world of mobile gaming and I'll just pretend that the most popular one must have a good reason behind it. Help me out guys!
I like Albion Online. It's good on mobile and pc.
Eve Echoes does a decent impression of the Eve Feeling in mobile. It's much more simplified than the PC counterpart and the community is usually angry with the devs, but still playing hahaha
Try Wyvern
I don't know if it's really a game or not, but Avakin Life has lots of people on it. It has dungeons and stuff I guess but I didn't play long enough to check it all out.
Just something to look at
Old School RuneScape is like the only mobile mmo I would play. But I'm bias because I've played since I was kid. It's great if you give it a chance to learn the ins and outs
With so many mobile games out there, everyone has their own favorite! Whether it's a strategy game that keeps you hooked, a relaxing puzzle game, or an action-packed battle royale, I'd love to hear what mobile game you enjoy the most and why. What makes it stand out for you—gameplay, graphics, community, or something else? Share your favorites!
For me it's Skullgirls. It's a fighting game with charismatic characters, it's not pay to win despite being a gacha (I've played the game for 1 and a half years and I can do all the game's content as a f2p player) and the community, despite being small, helps each other. Unfortunately, it is a game with a small team of developers, which does not make much profit from the game and consequently hardly has any updates with new mechanics/playable character. Other than that, it's a game that has a place in my heart.
DYSMANTLE - by far the best single player game on mobile I've played. There's an upfront purchase cost but after that the game is free from any costs or ads. There are a couple of expansions you can buy but are not necessary.
I have so many hours in this game. It's easy to put down for a few days and come back to again with no issues. The main quest is huge and there's an open world, do what you want aspect to it as well that will keep you occupied forever if you want that.
The difficulty ramps up at an achievable pace. You have choices in terms of weapon and tool upgrades, nearly all of which have a direct impact on the gameplay but they won't stop you from proceeding.
Is this only on iOS? Can't seem to find it in play store.
Sorry, not sure. I play it on ios. Google suggests it is on play store though.
I've definitely seen it on Play Store before.
Kingdom Rush -series is great! Tower defence with nice art style, light story and or course great gameplay. Highly recommended.
Arena Breakout, a very distressing yet addictive game
Two options
-Games with a good story
-Games that aren't repetitive
Like ?
Mindustry is a good one for the latter, whereas the Grim series(Quest, Tides, Omens) are for the prior. Seedship is one that I'd consider a balance between the two.
Wanting to waste some time playing a good mobile game.
I'm gonna sound like a boomer, but I always end up going back to Candy Crush
Stardew valley and merge dragons
I just got Stardew on mobile but I’m having a hard time with the controls lol
That’s fair, I do think it’s easier on iPad.
If you like puzzles then slitherlink is one of my favorites! It's kinda got minesweeper vibes but different if that makes any sense.
Love Nikki Dress Up Queen
i play cute games like neko atsume and bunny haven
best mobile MMORPG
