In console games, there are many games of this genre, but the more interesting fact is that even on the Android platform, there are many strategy games that are no less than on console games. Because there are many strategy games on Android, but they do not bring the same quality and performance. To help players avoid poor quality games, this article will introduce you to a list of the best strategy games on Android.

• 10 best console game emulators

1. Sid Meier's Railroads!

Sid Meier's Railroads may be one of the best simulators around, but its strategic and competitive gameplay earns it a spot on this list. You compete against AI, playing as a tycoon with the goal of making the most profit by connecting towns and industries with railroads. While some elements may seem dated (the original game was released in 2003), it still has enough depth to rival any game on this list.

Sid Meier's Railroads is the perfect game to play if you enjoy the subtle strategy genre. Unfortunately, there is no online play, but the AI ​​is more than capable of making for a challenging experience.

2. Defense Derby

In Defense Derby, you compete online with other players to be the last one standing against successive waves of monsters. While you won’t be fighting other players directly, you will be competing to recruit new characters. You will need to have a good grasp of the game’s concepts and be willing to take risks to succeed.

Defense Derby is a great addition to the auto-battler genre thanks to its multi-layered strategy. Just be aware that it will take a little while to get used to.

3. The Queen's Gambit Chess

Chess is the ultimate strategy game, but it can be difficult to choose from the plethora of chess games on the Play Store. The Queen's Gambit Chess is suitable for everyone. Newbies will appreciate the gentle introduction to chess, while experts can dive into the competitive ranked mode.

The Queen's Gambit Chess is aimed at beginners, but it's really great for all levels of players. Don't worry if you haven't watched the actual show; the story just serves as a framework to teach you the new mechanics.

4. Worms WMD: Mobilize

Worms WMD is inspired by the classic Worms Armageddon game from the 90s but has a lot of new features and quality of life changes that make it one of the best Worms games ever. It's still the turn-based platformer you love but with a huge amount of content to keep you hooked.

The best thing is that Worms WMD has local and online multiplayer, so you can compete with your friends anywhere, anytime.

5. Civilization VI

The name Civilization needs no introduction as it has been a favorite of strategy game lovers for decades and now the latest installment is available on mobile. It’s the same experience you’d expect on a PC but with enough UI improvements to make it comfortable to play on a touchscreen. (Although you should play it on an Android tablet for the best experience.)

Civilization VI puts you in command of a civilization of your choice, from the British to the Huns. You must lead them through history while defeating opponents, researching technology, and spreading your religion. It's a great experience that will keep you engrossed for hours. Just be aware that older devices may experience performance issues late in the game.

6. Into the Breach

Into the Breach is a roguelike puzzle game that puts you in command of three machines to save humanity. You will fight the Vek, giant alien monsters that are destroying you and the human cities you are defending. Battles last 5 turns and you will only get one chance to reload if you make a mistake. Smart positioning will cause the Vek to attack each other or burn themselves alive, while a mistake can have catastrophic consequences for your battle.

Into the Breach is one of the best turn-based strategy games available for mobile, but since it's a Netflix exclusive, you'll need a subscription to play it.

7. Bad North

Bad North is a Viking-themed roguelike that pits your men against waves of ferocious raiders. You'll give general orders to your troops before the battle begins, but they'll react to enemy actions intuitively. This allows you to avoid micromanagement and focus on the larger battle. Like Into the Breach, one wrong move can cost you and send you back to square one, so plan carefully.

Bad North is also a visual masterpiece. Take a moment to admire the scenery before starting the fight.

8. The Battle of Polytopia

Love Civilization VI but want something a little more laid-back? The Battle of Polytopia is a must-try. This strategy game may look strange, but it has everything that more popular 4X games have to offer. Once you’ve chosen your tribe, you’ll engage in war, diplomacy, and espionage to win. There are three ways to achieve success, and each requires a completely different strategy.

The Battle of Polytopia is the most accessible 4X strategy game available on mobile, but it will take a while to master. It's complex, but rewarding and incredibly engaging.

9. Bloons TD 6

Once a giant in the world of online flash games, the Bloons brand has seamlessly transitioned to mobile devices. Bloons TD 6 is the latest and greatest. At its core, it is a fairly simple tower defense game, where you need to position your monkeys to defend against enemies, who will be sent in waves.

Bloons TD 6 has a ton of game modes and maps; while the standard game mode will keep you busy for hours, try one of the more challenging modes to see how well you know your monkeys and balloons. If you don't want to pay for a Netflix subscription, you can buy the standalone version with an in-app purchase for $6.99.

10. Total War: Medieval II

Total War: Medieval II is one of the best games in the Total War genre, and its Android version doesn’t cut any content from the original game. However, the user interface has been completely overhauled for mobile devices to make it more comfortable to play. It takes a little getting used to controlling a large army with a touchscreen, but the game is intuitive enough that you can win battles in no time. We recommend playing the game on a tablet.

Apps and games make using smartphones more fun. And developers have caught on to this point and are constantly creating apps with attractive features. Hopefully with the above list, you will find your favorite strategy game to entertain yourself after stressful working hours.
