Top-Tier Android RPGs

Neverwinter Nights
Prefer fantasy? This enhanced edition of Bioware's dark fantasy adventure in the Forgotten Realms delivers a captivating experience.
Dragon Quest VIII
Often cited as the best Dragon Quest, and our favorite mobile JRPG. Square Enix's meticulous port is optimized for portrait mode, perfect for on-the-go play.
Chrono Trigger
A legendary JRPG, now available on mobile. While perhaps not the ideal platform for this classic, it's a worthy option if alternatives are scarce.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions
A timeless strategy RPG that remains incredibly engaging. A strong contender for the ultimate strategy RPG on mobile.
The Banner Saga
(Note: The third installment requires a different platform). A dark, strategic masterpiece. Think Game of Thrones meets Fire Emblem. A compelling series to explore.

A superb action RPG, not just on mobile, but overall. Packed with content and innovative ideas. A must-play.
Grimvalor
A fantastic side-scrolling Metroidvania RPG with stunning visuals and a Souls-like progression system.

Several excellent Final Fantasy titles grace Android, including VII, IX, and VI. A must-have for any RPG fan.
9th Dawn III RPG
A massive top-down RPG brimming with content, monster recruitment, and even a built-in card game.
