Mobile games are great to have fun and kill time when you’re on the go. While gaming on a smartphone is the primary format of enjoying video games for many, others often game on PCs and consoles, while keeping their smartphones as a backup gaming device for when you don’t have access to your PC or console.
However, a lot of modern games are cloud-based, requiring a constant connection via either Wi-Fi or your data plan to be playable. Some popular examples include Call of Duty Mobile, FIFA Mobile, Among us and even PUBG Mobile. While these are great, you may not always have access to a reliable connection when gaming. This is why many gamers often load their devices up with some offline games. Here are some of the top offline games that you can find on both Android and iOS
Alto’s Odyssey (Android – FREE, iOS – Rs 499)
Alto’s Odyssey is a side-scrolling infinite running game that requires no internet connectivity. You can slide down various slopes throughout the game while collecting coins. Various terrain elements that you encounter make for great stunt-jump opportunities, that offer more coins. The highlight of the game is its simplistic, enjoyable gameplay and great colourful graphics. A free version gets you the occasional ads, but you can also pay a one-time fee for an ad-free experience.
Friday the 13th (Android, iOS – Free)
If you’re into games based on horror, puzzles, or both, Friday the 13th is one of the most enjoyable titles on the app store shelves. Putting you in the shoes of Jason Vorhees, Friday the 13th will take you across 100 levels filled with gore, where you must slaughter all people while avoiding cops, traps, land mines and more. While not appropriate for all audiences, if you’re old enough, the game can be hours of limitless fun.
