Top tips for PUBG beginners

 Tips for PUBG beginners.

PlayerUnknown's Battlgegrounds is one of the most popular games in the world right now after its incredible growth since the beta release. As such, there has been an incredible rise in the player base attracting experienced and new players alike. In this post I will look to guide those of you who are new to get a good start in the game. 

Keep your eye on the circle and whilst the circles are "random" try to plan your next rotation in advance. 

 

So you're one of the many players who are new to shooters that have been converted by PUBG and are struggling to improve, maybe you're a veteran of the FPS scene but have never played a battle royal game, or perhaps you are just looking for some tips you may have overlooked. This guide will be aimed at those of you completely new to the game, looking to get the basics down.

The thing that kicks off every single game of PUBG you will play is the drop. As the red light comes on and you stand up, hook up and shuffle to the door you'll be thinking about where to drop. Over time you will likely create your own pattern, preferences and play style when it comes to this but to start out there are two schools of thought. It all comes down to how and which parts of your game you want to improve. I'd personally suggest dropping into locations that aren't completely barren but are also not hot zones of action. In these sorts of locations you are likely to have time to find some weapons and some gear before heading out to find a fight that you feel comfortable taking.

Then there is the other idea, the trial by fire that is the closest thing we have to death match until they get around to finally implementing something that the community has been asking for since time began, but I digress. With this method you are looking to familiarise yourself with weapons and combat as quickly as possible and will be dropping in locations such as School, Georgopol, The Military Base and Pochinki to name a few. The aim of the game here is simple, find the first weapon you can, a helmet and a vest where possible, and shoot every target in sight. You're likely to die many times. You're likely to find yourself stood in a building that for some unfathomable reason only had a pair of pants and an 8x scope whilst iron man runs past the window with his level three helmet and M416.


So you've decided on your strategy, next is actually getting to the ground. There isn't much I can tell you for this one as it is something you get a feel for the more you do it. However I will tell you, if you've played Fortnite it's not like that, you want to be dropping much closer to your intended landing zone as you end up closer to the ground a lot faster than Fortnite. You want to be landing as close to a substantial building as possible to maximise your chances of finding something worth wielding and to minimise your time spent running in the open. As you fall, use the Alt key and move your mouse to keep an eye on how many people are falling with you and where they look to be headed. Keeping an idea of where the enemy is at all times is crucial.

Now you're boots on ground and entering your first building of the game; at this point it's all about efficiency and speed. You want to be finding and prioritising the most important loot for your situation. If you know nobody has fallen into your location you can afford yourself a little extra time in deciding between weapons and attachments. However, if you know somebody is near you or you are unsure then priority number 1 is a weapon. Keep your eyes peeled for anything you can cause damage with, apart from melee weapons which at this point are rather a novelty. If you see a helmet or vest get that equipped ASAP also as any advantage at this point can mean life or death. I would personally advise using your assigned inventory button (I use tab) near loot and dragging it into your inventory or the required weapon slot with your mouse instead of clicking F on objects as it is far more reliable and speedy. Important note, when you do pick up a weapon, make sure it is on the correct firing mode as they all equip on single fire as default, the button for this is B and you will want your UMP, Micro Uzi etc to be on Full Auto not Single or Burst.

 

Another point I would like to make when it comes to "extended looting" i.e. once you're not in immediate danger is that you do not need to carry 5 of the same attachment. All too often I have come across somebody I have killed who is carrying three shotgun chokes, four 4x scopes and 5 vertical fore-grips. There is no need for this, at most you'd need two of most attachments unless carrying one for a teammate. Whilst on the topic of team mates, some duos or squads could really learn how to share. When you find an 8x or 4x scope but are only carrying a Micro Uzi, whilst your teammate is trying to use a K98 with the iron sights, please consider giving him the scope. Whilst other people's inability to grasp this concept of teamwork has likely saved my life many times, it's really not helping their chances of winning a fight, let alone a game.

From this point you've survived your initial landing point and have some basic gear, keep an ever-present eye on both the location of the safe zone and how long until the next safe zone will move in. Plan your rotations accordingly, and at a basic level try to keep your travel in the general direction of the next circle. Consider the need and possible locations for a vehicle if you are short on time or the distance to the next circle is too great for you to safely run, if you can't find one then enjoy your new running simulator. Keep your eyes and ears open for gunfire so you have an idea of which direction the enemy is for certain. When it comes to approaching the next buildings to loot, I'd advise always approaching with caution. Whilst many players close the doors behind them to better conceal their tracks, interior doors being open is a sure sign that if there is not still somebody around, they have definitely been here. Flipped or crashed vehicles are always alarming to me as there is a high chance whoever made their unplanned rest stop is hiding in one of the nearby buildings.

Don't treat the blue circle, or water, like a solid wall. Players with meds/healing can last a surprisingly long time in the circle the rest of us are desperately trying to avoid and have a habit of shooting unsuspecting players in the back as they exit it. The same goes for water, you may have seen or heard the community's reaction to circles that contain a high percentage of water and that is due to it lending itself to players hiding for as long as possible underwater, only coming up for air. Again, if there is a circle closing in round water and you have your back to it, whilst you can't be expected to watch it forever, don't assume Aquaman's rage filled reincarnation isn't lurking beneath.

Out in the open world I'd advise not spending too long sat completely still, a little bit of WASD when not on the move keeps the head-shots a lot harder to hit. When sat completely still your head is a target and it's far easier to hit, which is known to ruin your day. The same goes for looting a corpse, you just fought them and the firefight is not likely to have gone unnoticed. Whilst you're taking the loot try your best to spend as little time as possible making decisions and keep your feet moving.

When it comes to vehicles, don't panic click F when getting fired upon whilst moving, you will fly out like a fighter pilot hitting eject without a parachute. Shift will boost your vehicle to higher speeds whilst using more gas. All vehicles are prone to flipping, watch out for small sudden changes in terrain elevation as somehow the most unassuming bumps have a tenancy to act like the Great Wall of China causing you to take some damage. One culprit to keep a close eye on however is any and all bikes, as one moment you're flying along at warp speed and next minute you're doing your best impression of a fidget spinner. Ctrl will lean you forward in the air whilst space will lean you back in the air, Q and E will be your left and right leans in the air. For some reason you will want to be landing all jumps front heavy, so your front wheel making contact first, otherwise you're likely going to flip and die.

There are many, many other aspects, rules and nuances to this game that you will pickup as you go along that will continuously make you better, but the above should be the main points you will want to know in order to get a good start in the game. Good luck have fun gamers, and remember the golden rule, don't kill me. 

10 Essential TIPS for PUBG

10 essential tips for Playerunknown's Battlegrounds.

 

So you’ve played your first few rounds of Playerunknown's Battlegrounds. Maybe you even made it into the top 10 a couple times, but you’re having trouble closing the deal and securing the coveted chicken dinner. Many of the concepts in Playerunknown's Battlegrounds are shared with other battle royale-style games and mods, but if this is your first game of this genre, this guide is for you. The tips in this guide will help the new player understand some techniques and strategies for playing smarter and getting better at the game.

Learn to land and fly, and note the plane’s trajectory

The first thing you do in Playerunknown's Battlegrounds can also be one of the most important decisions you’ll make. If you want to drop somewhere directly in the plane’s trajectory, wait until the plane is almost directly over top of it. If you point your camera straight down, your character will dive to a top speed of 234 kph, and when you hit the automatic chute release zone, you’ll dive deep into it. You’ll spend less time floating down, saving valuable seconds that could be the difference between life and death.

Remember the path that the plane took as you progress through the game

If you want to get in a fight early, there’s no better option than diving into a densely populated area directly under the plane’s flight path. However, if you prefer more of a slow build to the action, it can be a smart strategy to get as far away from the plane as possible. This is where parachute gliding can come in handy. If you pull your chute at a higher altitude, you can travel great distances by swinging your character. Briefly hold W until you reach around 35-40 kph, then let off the key to allow yourself to swing back until it drops to 25-30 kph. This will allow you to stay aloft over much longer distances at the expense of time. It can take much longer to get to the ground, but the distance you can put between you and the majority of players can be well worth it.

Finally, it’s a great move to remember the path that the plane took as you progress through the game. If the plane flies across the eastern border of the map, it’s more likely that the west will be more open. Later in the game, it may be valuable to approach the circle from the west, acting under the assumption that you’ll have fewer enemies to contend with in that region of the map.

Understand the circles

Nothing drains the fun out of the game more than hoofing it the entire map, trying to reach safety, and dying at the last second to the blue. As soon as you see the first white circle appear, establish a strategy for getting there.

If you’ve landed all the way across the map, this might mean locating a vehicle early. If it’s just a short jaunt, you’ll easily be able to run after the blue circle starts closing in. The initial circle has a huge distance to travel, moves slowly and doesn’t do much damage, but it can throw off your entire game if you don’t have a strategy.

A common strategy is to play near the edge of the blue circle. This reduces the area you need to be aware of, since it’s much less likely that someone is going to sneak up on you from outside the circle, as anyone coming up on you from outside the blue circle is going to be taking playzone damage. If you play this way, be careful to not get caught right up against the blue when it starts coming in.

In cases where the new, smaller white circle is offset from the center of the old one, the blue circle will encroach more slowly on the small side, since the larger side has a lot more distance to close. Use this to your advantage and position yourself in a place where you can outrun the blue circle.

The narrow side of the blue circle will move slower than the wide side.

The late-game blue circle does considerably more damage than the early ones, so it’s important to scout your next move as soon as you can.

Free look, aim focus and sneak walk

Two extraordinarily powerful tools that aren’t immediately obvious are the ability to free look using the left Alt key, and the ability to focus while aiming down sights with the Shift key.

Holding Shift while aiming down sights will focus and reduce gun sway.

In third-person view, you can free-look around your character by holding the Alt key and moving your mouse. This allows you to do things like peek around cover and through windows without exposing yourself. It’s great for keeping an eye on the terrain around you while running overland to get to the next circle. Finally, it’s the perfect way to look around for nearby parachutes while you are diving, without throwing off your own trajectory.

Holding alt will allow you to free look without turning your character

While aiming down the sights, you can hold Shift to hold your breath. This steadies your aim and, if you aren’t using an optical attachment with built-in zoom, this will also give you a small amount of zoom. This can make all the difference in trying to land a long-range shot.

One thing to note is that, after you run out of breath from aiming, it’ll take a few seconds to recover, and sprinting will halt the recovery. It’s best to wait a few seconds to let your breath recover before sprinting. If you need to stop and quickly aim, you’ll have full aim capacity.

Footsteps and movement noises are a huge part of Playerunknown's Battlegrounds. If you hold Ctrl while walking, you’ll be able to move much more quietly, albeit slightly slower. This can be good for sneaking around, especially if you know there is someone near you.

Familiarize yourself with common vehicle locations, and know how to identify spawn vehicles

There are a number of places in Playerunknown's Battlegrounds where there is a very high chance of a vehicle being spawned.

1 of 2

Garages have a high chance to spawn vehicles

In most of the big cities, there is a garage that will often spawn a Dacia or motorcycle. If you check these early (and keep an eye on them as you loot a town), you can proceed with some confidence that you’ll have an escape vehicle if you get stuck with a far circle.

Another important thing to know about vehicles is that, with the exception of garages, they spawn facing due east. This can be a good method to determine if another player has already used a vehicle. You can also park vehicles near a road facing due east to make them appear as though they haven’t been used, and use the vehicle as bait.

Also, if you see a vehicle that isn’t a spawn vehicle and you suspect a player may be nearby, waiting to use that vehicle as their getaway car, shoot out the tires. No sense in making things easy for them.

Know your health kits (and their usage times and keybinds)

Don’t open the menu to use your health kits and boost. The default keybinds are the 7 through 0 keys, but you may want to rebind them to something more convenient (such as G and H). You can save a few seconds and stay more aware of your surroundings by using these keybinds instead of opening up the menu.

Another important thing to remember is the time it takes to use each of the health items. If you’re running for the next white circle and you’re at risk of dying before you reach it, make sure you start your first aid or medkit in time for it to finish before you die.

If you’re caught taking damage from the blue circle later in the game, it’s not worth using bandages. During the cast time, you’ll lose more health than you’ll gain. By the late-game circles, you’ll want to start using a first aid kit almost immediately.

Health kit cast times:

• Medkit: 10 seconds
• First-aid Kit: 7 seconds
• Bandage: 4 seconds

Use boost smartly

Boost items (energy drinks and painkillers) are extremely valuable. Using them fills your boost bar, which refills your health as it ticks down.

With the exception of a full medkit, boost items are the only way to get your health above 75 percent. Additionally, filling your boost meter enough that the third bar is full will give you a run speed boost until the meter ticks out of the third bar.

Combined with the regenerative effects, this makes boost essential when you need to escape a late-game circle. As you get down to the top 15 or so people, if you have enough items, it’s a good strategy to always keep a full boost meter.

Be aware of crate drops (and sometimes go for them)

Occasionally, you’ll hear a plane fly overhead. This plane will deploy cargo drops in the current playable area of the map (anywhere that is not outside the current blue circle). These cargo drops slowly parachute to the ground and then emit a bright red smoke for a few minutes after landing. The crate will regularly have high-end gear such as level 3 armor and backpacks, as well as high-powered guns and zoom scopes.

Because the crates generally carry extremely valuable equipment, they are also a magnet for enemies. Rather than approaching the crate outright, it can often be more fruitful to camp the crate and pick off folks who go after it, or wait until the looter gets away and then take them down. This gives you the opportunity to snag some of the good loot without sticking your neck out. Other times it may just be a good chance to escape an area unnoticed while everyone is preoccupied with the crate.

If you get lucky and the crate comes down near you (or in an area where you’re confident there aren’t many other players), it may make sense to go after it. But you should always be prepared for a fight, and try to get in and out as quickly as possible.

Understand zeroing and bullet drop

When aiming down sights, you’ll see a number that indicates the number of meters before your bullet will zero with the reticle.

Keen-eyed new players will notice the “zeroing distance” meter when aiming down sights. This determines the distance at which your bullet will reach the crosshair in your scope or optics attachment.

The barrel of the gun is below the scope, so if your target is closer than the default zeroing distance of 100 meters, the bullet will actually reach the target lower than the crosshair. In that case, you’ll want to put the crosshair slightly higher than your intended target. However, the difference is minuscule, so it’s something to be aware of, but make sure you’re not overcompensating. The default hotkeys for increasing and decreasing the zeroing distance are Page Up and Page Down.

One especially frustrating thing to be aware of with regard to zeroing is with windowsills, fences and ledges. If you’re right up against a ledge and aiming down the sights, it may look like you’ll be able to shoot clear over it or through the window, but the reality is that your gun barrel is pointed directly at the ledge. There is no bullet penetration on most walls and ledges (with doors being a notable exception), so it’s likely you’ll end up dumping a bunch of shots into an impenetrable barrier.

Know how armor works

Armor is incredibly valuable. With no helmet, there are plenty of weapons that will one-shot you, and a vest drastically reduces the damage you’ll take from chest shots, while also increasing your carrying capacity.

Armor reduces the amount of damage you take, and it gets damaged with each hit. The amount of durability a piece of armor has only determines how much more damage it can take before it breaks. The damage reduction you receive from armor is the same if your vest has 100 durability or 1 durability.

Realistically, a vest only reduces the damage of shots to the chest, and a helmet only reduces the damage of shots to the head. Also, despite the appearance, all helmets have the same area of coverage.

• Level 1 armor (head or vest) offers 30 percent damage reduction
• Level 2 armor (head or vest) offers 40 percent damage reduction
• Level 3 armor (head or vest) offers 55 percent damage reduction

Armor with 1 durability left and a body armor with full durability reduce damage by the same amount. It’ll just break after one hit instead of taking a few hits.

Don’t fear fighting

Especially when you’re new to Playerunknown's Battlegrounds, it can be easy to want to avoid fights while you loot up and wait until you’re absolutely forced to get into a firefight. However, at some point, you’re going to need to learn how to shoot and kill people. As a new player, it’s likely that you’re going to run into folks who are simply more practiced at shooting, and they will outshoot you in a one-on-one battle, leaving you disappointed as you get closer and closer to that chicken dinner.

As you become comfortable with the other aspects of the game, it will be valuable to get in more and more firefights. The game gets a lot more fun as you gain confidence that you can win shootouts, and that confidence will let you be a lot more aggressive when the opportunity presents itself.

pubg best loot spots

 pubg best loot spots

 



Playing PUBG on your phone and the first thing you talk with your team is where to drop to find the loot. The loot is everywhere, however, the quality of the loot your team is looking for isn’t everywhere. You should check out these 5 best loot locations for better loots like snipers, scopes, DMRs, and level 3 stuff.

This is particular to the map Erangel, if you are playing it on Erangel map, this is for you. The best loot on this map is generated randomly, there is no guarantee that you will always get the weapon you are looking. But as far as we have played it, chances are that you are likely going to get better weapons at the start.

1) Sosnovka Military Base

• Loot Quality: Very High
• Loot Quantity: Very High
• Risk Of Dying: Very High

Starting off with the most consistent location for weapons and loots, the Military Base has all the stuff you need. It has got very high-quality loot including scopes, level 3 kevlar vests, and helmets.

Sosnovka Military Base

If you are lucky enough to get weapons like Kar98K bolt-action sniper rifle or at least the DMRs like Mini14 to start with. Most players can’t even find a combat rifle at the start in other locations.

Only if you think you get it without dying or taking a hit from other players, you are a pro. The Military Base is crowded with a number of players waiting for you to land if you are late to the party.

Mini14

4X Scope

2) Mylta Power

• Loot Quality: Very High
• Loot Quantity: High
• Risk Of Dying: Medium

Perhaps, if you are looking for sniper equipment and level 3 gear (very much close to the Military Base items). This is also one of the locations you might want to check if you want high-quality loots. It’s also closer to the Mansion, Prison, and Shelter which are also among the places to check out.

Land on the roofs to find the best weapons and gears.

Mylta Power

3) School

• Loot Quality: High
• Loot Quantity: High
• Risk Of Dying: Very High

Third, comes the School in Rozhok, this is probably the most popular location after Pochinki since it’s centered which is why most players land here. And thus, it’s deadly and you don’t want to land unless you got some skills.
You will get several loots here, although it’s not as good as military-grade, it’s worth to check out if you get DMRs or the AKM/M416 rifles. You will find level 2 gears, medics, decent weapons, and decent attachments.

The good part, you don’t have to travel a long way since you are in the middle of the map to which the white circle likely closes.

4) Prison

• Loot Quality: Very High
• Loot Quantity: Medium
• Risk Of Dying: High

Prison is covered with huge mountains and this seems to have the highest peak after and Ruins and Stalber, at least that’s what I think. You won’t find plenty of loot here, the quantity of the loot is not as high as the above ones, but you are better off finding DMRs like Mini14 or SKS at the top. Try it and see what do you get.
I once found Kar98K at the Prison along with an 8X scope. If you get one, head to the top at the rocks and snipe them off using 8X. It leaves you in a great spot if you come out on top of the mountains.

Prison

Kar98K

5) Pochinki

• Loot Quality: High
• Loot Quantity: Very High
• Risk Of Dying: Very High (Suicide)

It’s ok if you mistakenly landed here, but if you survived, congrats. This is the best and the most obvious place to land in the whole Erangel map due to the central location and very high-amount of loot. People die the moment they touch the land, it’s not easy to survive here.

Top 5 Tricks & Tips One Should Know To Get Chicken Dinner On PUBG .

 

PUBG or PlayerUnknown's Battleground is a widely popular game that has changed the way we play games on our mobile phones. The graphics are top of the line, it has a huge map, excellent physics and it's addictive as hell. The best part is that the game is unpredictable. The game completely relies on real-time multiplayer matches, making it even more difficult to win and sustain. For the newbies out there, this game is extremely difficult at first. 

The tips in this guide will help the new players understand some techniques and strategies for playing smarter and getting better at the game.
 

1. Stealth Is Everything:

The best way to avoid dying is to remain stealthy. PUBGs building clusters are filled with loot and you'll be tempted to check out everything as soon as possible, but that's a bad idea. Every player is trying to do the same thing, hence the cluster or the number of other players in a particular area increases as well.

The best way to win is to remain isolated, away from the crowd but not far enough. Avoid open grounds, find yourself good cover and wait. When out in the open, taking advantage of rocks and the sides of buildings for cover can be a much safer alternative.

2. Loot, But Don't Get Too Greedy:

As soon as you land, loot quickly as much as you can and follow tip #1. You'll find crucial loot scattered around in buildings and supply crate drops. A lot of players spend a lot of time in hunting around for the perfect loot, don't do that. Grab anything and everything you can, as long as you have a decent pistol or any gun with you, you're good to go.

Armor should be your second priority after firearms. In a single life game, you need to be able to maximize your health as much as you can. Like the backpack, head and body armor are graded from level 1 to 3, but level 3 armor is fairly rare. Aim for level 2 armor before picking a scrap, or level 1 at a bare minimum.
Armor reduces the amount of damage you take, and it gets damaged with each hit. The amount of durability a piece of armor has only determined how much more damage it can take before it breaks. The damage reduction you receive from the armor is the same if your vest has 100 durabilities or 1 durability.

3. Learn To Drive:

Being in a vehicle is always a better option than being on foot. Even though driving around will attract more attention, the chances of you getting hit while speeding off are a lot lesser than trying to outrun an opponent on foot. There are many different types of vehicles you can use in PUBG, including motorcycles, dune buggies, SUVs, boats, and old-school camper vans.

Unfortunately, while there are plenty of vehicles to go around, there's also up to 99 other players potentially looking to get behind the wheel too, so be sure it's safe before approaching.
Having a vehicle can also help you reach the place you want to quickly, and you can always use them as bait for other players. Just keep the vehicles easily visible and hide nearby.

4. Practice Your Aim:

Before you even load into the arena, take a moment in the pre-deployment zone and test out your marksmanship skills. There are dozens of weapons scattered around the ruined airstrip where you first join the other players, and each one is handled differently. Many of the weapons are adaptable and holo sights and scopes make it much easier to hit the target. At the start of the game, manually grab sights and scopes you find, so they attach to the weapons you collect.

 

5. Familiarise Yourself With The Map:

As you continuously play PUBG, learn to become familiarized with a landmark's in and outs. Knowing the map is incredibly important!

The map is your best friend because it shows you the game area, which decreases throughout the game. The map also shows you the red zone, which is an artillery barrage. If you're in the red zone, there's a good chance you'll get hit, although if you're in a building you'll be able to make it out just fine.
 

Best Action Games for Android

Get your blood pumping with these action-packed games for Android.

   

There are so many awesome action games in the Google Play Store, it can be hard to sort the wheat from the chaff. But we've done the heavy lifting for you and after hundreds of hours of playing, we've rounded up the best action-packed games for Android that are worth checking out.

Many of the games on this list are paid apps which might give you pause, so you'll need to trust us when we say these games are well worth the initial investment. Plus, it's always good to support those teams developing great games for Android!

Battlelands Royale

 

Battlelands Royale is a made-for-mobile battle royale game that combines cartoony graphics and a top-down perspective with a simplistic last man standing gameplay format that works really well. This game offers a fairly unique take on the battle royale formula that is absolutely for casual gaming sessions as a match takes only a few minutes to complete. Just like PUBG or Fortnite, you parachute down onto a map with a bunch of other players — 29 opponents in this case — and must scavenge for weapons, ammo, and armor while staying in the safety circle and eliminating your enemies.

 You're limited to carrying one gun and ammo is very sparse, leading to some pretty intense moments where you need to decide whether to engage an enemy or try and sneak past them. There's also a duo mode where you can team up with a friend or a random player. The art style and gameplay are bright and fun and this is a great little game for killing time. It's free to play with in-app purchases for
character skin.

Suzy Cube

 

Suzy Cube is a game that's been in the works for many years. Developed by an indie game developer, this action-packed platformer is a must-play game on mobile with touch controls that have no right being as good as they are. It's easiest to compare the graphics and gameplay to Super Mario 3D Land for the Nintendo 3DS and is far superior to Mario's mobile debut, Super Mario Run.

In Suzy Cube, you play the titular character who has set out on an adventure to reclaim her family's fortune which has been stolen by block-shaped baddies. Most enemies can be defeated by jumping on their heads, while other obstacles require quick reflexes to dodge each attack.
There are a lot of ways a 3D platformer can go wrong — bad controls, shoddy camera, uninspired level design — but Suzy Cube is a rare gem that shows that a proper console-quality platformer can be made for mobile without compromise. You hear that, Nintendo?

ICEY

 

From its name to its app icon, ICEY is a rather unassuming entry in the Google Play Store that would be easy to overlook — but that would be a mistake.
At its core, ICEY is a 2D side-scrolling action game where you play as the titular character, a mysterious cybernetic warrior that kicks serious ass. The game plays flawlessly, with tight controls and new skills to be unlocked and upgraded as you progress through the game.
If that's all ICEY was — a kick-ass side-scrolling action game — it would still find a spot on this list. But that's just the beginning, there's also an entire meta-narrative at play here exploring the relationship between the player and the narrator. The narrator will guide you around the world and tell you where you should go… but what happens if you ignore the narrator?
There are layers to this game and a sizeable list of trophies to unlock. If you love indie games and meta-humor you definitely need to check out ICEY!

Death Road to Canada

 

When you're going to be dropping money on a game, you're going to want to be sure it has good replay value. In that regard, Death Road To Canada is an outstanding choice.
Facing a zombie apocalypse, you must lead a scrappy squad of somewhat interesting characters on a deadly mission to the relative safety of Canada. Along the way, you'll need to explore and loot places for supplies, while also managing your team's health and morale.
Everything in Death Road to Canada is randomly generated, making every play-through a unique experience in this road trip action-RPG. You can randomly generate your character and buddy or custom design your starting characters with different attributes to help them stay alive.
The controls take some getting used to, and there's a pretty steep learning curve as you learn which weapons are most effective and when it's better to fight or run. And you will die, early and often, although that's part of the fun of a zombie apocalypse, right?
There's a ridiculous amount of depth in this game, including 10 different game modes to unlock. The price might seem a little steep, but if you're a fan of rogue-like zombie games, it's well worth the investment!

Stranger Things: The Game

 

If you're a true fan of Stranger Things, you've already binge-watched the entirety of Season 2 (possibly in one sitting). But the truest of Stranger Things fans have also beaten Stranger Things: The Game, a surprisingly solid game released by Netflix that has no right being as good as it is.
Set in the town of Hawkins, Indiana you start out playing as Police Chief Jim Hopper as he heads out to search for a missing kid, but discovers much more than he bargained for. The gameplay has a classic Zelda vibe to it, and the mix of puzzles and action sections keep things feeling fresh. As you explore the town, you'll find other characters from the show who join your party and have special abilities which allow you to reach new areas of the world.
There's just so much to appreciate here. Not only is it a faithful adaptation of the show, it's available for free with no in-app purchases or annoying ads…beyond the game itself.
Yes, this game is essentially a playable advertisement for Season 2 of Stranger Things — in fact, one of the rewards for completing the game is an extended trailer for said season. But unlike other mobile games tied into movie or TV show franchises, Stranger Things: The Game can stand on its own as a great game whether you're a fan of the source material.

Death Point

 

 

Death Point is as polished a game as you'll find on Android. It's a top-down stealth shooter in which you play a captured spy in a post-apocalyptic world where you must sneak through enemy compounds taking out guards and sabotaging their systems as you go.
Your goal is to meet up with the only other member of your team who has survived, an operator who is able to communicate with you through technology implanted in your brain. She's there to give you tips and info on upcoming sections, and provide some lighthearted banter and story as you get down to business getting your revenge.
The graphics are next level, and you'll probably need a recent flagship to get the most out of this game, with great lighting effects to show you when you're visible to guards and when you're hidden in the shadows. You're free to play through however you please — be extra stealthy, or go in Rambo-style — but you'll quickly learn that this game is very unforgiving if you make mistakes making a stealthier approach the clear winning strategy.
There are 10 challenging chapters to play through that will test even the most hardcore gamers. It's a great title that's worth the premium price.

Island Delta

 

Island Delta was published by the fine folks at Noodlecake Studios, which alone makes it worth checking out. Developed by Mantisbite out of Finland and released for iOS in late 2016, Island Delta brings unique top-down action-adventure-puzzler fun to Android. You're tasked with exploring a mysterious retro-futuristic island with your heroes, Zoe and Baxter, as you try to take down the evil Doctor Gunderson and his army of henchmen.
Using your anti-gravity gun, you must work your way past mechanical minions, traps, and guards as you solve puzzles to make it through to the end of each level. At times Island Delta feels like a stripped down, third-person version Portal, which is something I wasn't aware I needed in my life.
The cartoony graphics and outstanding level design will immediately draw you in, but this game can get seriously challenging at times. Fortunately, the game is fairly forgiving with checkpoint.

Downwell

 

Downwell is a retro-styles rogue-like game where the goal is fairly simple — you jump down the well and see how far you can fall. Easy, right? Well, not quite — the well is filled with enemies. But don't worry, you're able to shoot down as you go, which also helps you kind of float.
Story? Who needs a story when all you're looking for is action, baby! From the cool graphics and simple controls, this is a game that's easy to jump into but hard to master. Each time you play is unique, with new weapon upgrades popping up randomly. At the end of each stage, you also get to choose an additional power-up to help you along.
But be warned this game is challenging as hell. There's a steep learning curve as you learn how to best use your weapons and which enemies can be stomped and which need to be blasted. Since this is a rogue-like game, you can pick up and play it a different game each time.

Penarium

 

Penarium is a tough-as-nails platformer created by Team 17, who you probably remember best from the Worms franchise. Whereas Worms was a slow-paced strategy game, Penarium is on the opposite end of the spectrum featuring fast-paced action and requiring quick reflexes to survive.
It tells the tale of a Willy, a portly farm boy who's always longed for adventure. One day, a circus show rolls into town and Willy decides to run away for a bit of fun and excitement. But unfortunately, this is no ordinary circus — it's Penarium, the sadistic circus extravaganza!
Willy's the next contestant in their twisted game, where the goal is to smash the barrels while dodging all sorts of devious traps and weaponry. This game was originally released on Steam, but the gameplay is ideal for mobile devices. The platforming action here is really tight, with a rotating variety of traps and weapons keeping things fresh.
The graphics are beautiful without ever affecting the gameplay performance, and blends with the soundtrack to create a really polished experience. Touch screen controls are often hit or miss, but I think they work really well here as an homage to the simple penny arcades of the era. The platforming action here is really tight, and the graphics are beautiful without ever affecting the gameplay performance.
There are two game modes to play: Campaign mode which lets you unlock additional arenas and is the "story mode" so to speak; and Arcade mode, which challenges you to survive for as long as you can collecting coins which you can spend on upgrades. It's a great game for quick casual sessions that offers a great challenge. It's a paid app as well, so there's no ads or in-app purchases to distract you

Injustice 2

 

Injustice 2 is the sequel to the award-winning game which is also one of the best fighting games . If you've played and enjoyed the first game, you're sure to enjoy the sequel which features more fantasy fight match-ups between your favorite heroes and villains from the DC Universe.
Unlock new heroes and build your ultimate team as you battle in 3 vs 3 fights with the ability to swap out fighters as needed. The usual suspects are here — Batman, Superman, Joker, Harley Quinn — as well as a whole slew of new heroes and villains which you'll discover and unlock as you play.
Controls are optimized for Android and feel even better than they did in the first game. It's easier than ever to jump, duck and shoot projectiles, with epic Super Moves available to finish off your opponents. Graphically this game really shines, powered by the Unreal engine. You start out with a Campaign mode only, with Arena, Story, Operations, and Challenge modes unlocked later on.
Like the first game, Injustice 2 is free-to-play with a stamina bar to manage and coins and crystals to collect and spend. There are in-app purchases if you're impatient and want to unlock new characters quickly, but there's plenty of fun to be had without spending a dime.
