The best mobile games for Android in Canada

Video and smartphone games are a terrific way to take a break from reality and immerse yourself in another universe. Mobile games are among the most common downloaded apps, with a huge smartphone population. 

Canada is well known for developing popular android mobile games. Canadian studios, notably the Assassin's Creed franchise, have published some of the most impactful games in recent history.

Aside from massive console games, they have also developed several high quality Android mobile games. Below are some of them:

1.    Lara Croft Go

The Tomb Raider franchise has seen a revival in the last several years.

First, from the semi successful 2013 Tomb Raider remake to this year's Rise of the Tomb Raider, new additions in the series have demonstrated a degree of complexity that many believed the franchise couldn't achieve. 

In 2016, Lara Croft was back in the spotlight, but the current offering isn't the only Tomb Raider game worth playing. Lara Croft Go can be enjoyed in Android phone versions even by fans of puzzle games. 

Lara Croft Go is a puzzle game created by Square Enix Montreal that requires a player to solve some puzzles to reconstruct long-lost ancient relics.

The game also builds on the lessons acquired from Hitman Go, the studio's previous excellent mobile title. Lara Croft Go is a perplexing, addicting game that teases the head and teases the eyes with basic yet stunning images.

2.    Mobile casino games

Canadians love mobile casino games.

If you need evidence, take a look at some of the Canucks who’ve won huge casino jackpots in the last decade. While their names aren’t always revealed, data shows most of them won while gambling through their mobile devices.

However, while most mobile casino games aren’t specific to any device, some casino apps are only available for Android or iOS. For Android users looking for casino games, we suggest checking the best Android casino apps found here.

3.    GameLoft's Asphalt Nitro

Asphalt Nitro is the newest installment in GameLoft's Asphalt series, a mobile game developer based in Toronto. It's a nice looking racing game that's not too tough to play, and it employs Android phones like the Samsung Galaxy and iPhone as controllers. 

The game isn't groundbreaking, but it is noticeably more responsive than other racing games that use motion-based tilt controls. It has a plethora of customisable possibilities and the possibility to purchase new vehicles. 

Players who merely want to drive about with the game's beginning automobile, unlocking new circuits as they go through the game, will find plenty to do.

4.    Alto's Adventure

Noodlecake Studios Inc., located in Saskatoon, just released Alto's Adventure on Android mobile. This is a game created by Ryan Cash through Toronto-based Noodlecake Studios Inc. Snowman.

 In Alto's quest, players snowboard down a slope to capture fugitive llamas. One must leap over boulders, grind on rails, and do double backflips while attempting to extend the distance you move down the mountain.

The trick to the game, though, is to keep a close eye on what's coming up on the slopes. Too frequently, players find themselves slamming into a rock headfirst because they leaped at the wrong time.

A player can gain a power-up that offers a rock blasting shield if they land that double backflip. Alto's Adventure is a soothing, enjoyable, and endearing game.

5.    The Walking Dead: Road To Survival

The Walking Dead: Road to Survival is a mobile app game created by IUGO Mobile Entertainment, located in Vancouver.

It is a half role playing and half world building game, in which players build a base in the safe haven of Woodbury to defend against Walkers and Survivors. 

The concentration on storytelling in The Walking Dead video game is the most intriguing aspect. Even though it is a mobile game, Road to Survival focuses on the story. Throughout the game's objectives, players must make a range of difficult options. 

The Walking Dead is not as good as Telltale's, but it's still a fantastic game. The Walking Dead Road to Survival is free to download for iOS and Android platforms.

6.    Bruce Lee: Enter The Game

Hibernum Creations, located in Montreal, has released a game about an action film legend. Enter the Game by Bruce Lee certainly lives up to the hype. 

The 2D HTML5 action beat them up has fantastic aesthetics, compelling gameplay, and, most importantly, it perfectly captures the appearance, feel, and sound of Bruce Lee's originator, Jeet Kune Do.

Players appreciate that the videogame pays homage to the martial artist it is built on, having seen many of his films. Later stages of Bruce Lee: Enter the Game grow increasingly difficult, particularly as bosses begin to use strong swipes.

Bruce Lee: Enter the Game is a free app for Android mobile.

7.    Storm Casters Ultra

This game's developer is best known for the mobile games Mega Run and Mega Jump, but with Storm Casters Ultra, the developer has chosen a new approach. 

Players scavenge dungeons to pursue wealth and treasure while employing Storm Caster powers to destroy skeletons in this upper edge isometric game.

One of the game's main attractions is that the character gradually evolves. Players eventually change from their frail initial character into something far more formidable. 

While the game's two core concepts are obtaining treasure and leveling up, players love Storm Caster Ultra's card collecting elements. Every time they finish a dungeon, they'll get treasure boxes, which sometimes include powerful stuff.

8.    Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP

Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery is still one of the most beautiful mobile games ever.

Players will be navigating a realm of sights and largely sounds in Capybara Games' gloomy, melodic, and muse-worthy game. The audio-visual layout of the game draws players in.

Even though it was published in 2011, Sword & Sworcery remains one of the most popular mobile games. It's a lovely title with a compelling tale, which might seem like a rare find when browsing any app store.

Summary

Canada has one of the largest games development scenes worldwide, due to the tendency of concentrating production in Canadian cities.

These games range in price from free to flat rate, with a few systems requiring players to pay for in-game items. The wide variety of latest releases, classic throwbacks, mind puzzlers, and more are great ways for smartphone owners to pass the time.
