Best Android RPGs

Let the role-playing begin!

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2

A controversial top pick? Perhaps. But KOTOR 2 is a masterful adaptation of a classic, perfectly suited for touchscreen play. Its massive scale, compelling characters, and authentic Star Wars feel make it a must-play.

Neverwinter Nights

Prefer dark fantasy? Neverwinter Nights, a classic Bioware adventure enhanced by Beamdog, delivers a captivating Forgotten Realms experience.

Dragon Quest VIII

Often hailed as the best Dragon Quest game, and our favorite mobile JRPG. Square Enix's meticulous port, playable in portrait mode, makes it perfect for on-the-go adventures.

Chrono Trigger

A legendary JRPG, Chrono Trigger's mobile version earns its place on this list. While not the definitive way to experience it, it's a solid option if other versions aren't accessible.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions

This timeless strategy RPG remains incredibly fun. A strong contender for the ultimate strategy RPG, and certainly a mobile masterpiece.

The Banner Saga

A dark, challenging, and deeply strategic experience. Think Game of Thrones meets Fire Emblem. While the third entry requires another platform, the first two offer a compelling start.

Pascal’s Wager

A dark and atmospheric hack-and-slash ARPG, Pascal’s Wager stands as one of the best action RPGs, period. Its rich content and innovative ideas make it a must-play.

Grimvalor

This side-scrolling Metroidvania RPG boasts stunning visuals and a Souls-like progression system.

Oceanhorn

Often compared to Zelda, Oceanhorn is a visually stunning mobile game, though its sequel remains an Apple Arcade exclusive.

The Quest

A criminally underrated first-person dungeon crawler inspired by classics like Might & Magic. Its hand-drawn visuals and ongoing expansions make it a hidden gem.

Final Fantasy (Series)

No RPG list is complete without Final Fantasy. Several classic entries, including VII, IX, and VI, are available for Android.

9th Dawn III RPG

Despite the name, 9th Dawn III: Shadow of Erthil is a refined and expansive top-down RPG, offering a huge world to explore, loot to find, monsters to recruit, and even a unique card game.

Titan Quest

A Diablo-like classic now on mobile. While not a perfect port, it's a decent hack-and-slash option.

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth

This Norse mythology-themed RPG is a fantastic addition to any mobile gamer's library, with its convenient save-anywhere feature.
