5 of the best MMO games for Android and iOS (2017)
In case you're not familiar with what an MMO is, however, let us explain. The acronym stands for “Massively Multiplayer Online”, and games of the genre share just one common trait – they place a huge number of players in the same shared universe. This means that everyone is playing in the same persistent world, and player interaction is a key element of the gameplay.
Adventure Quest 3D
Price: Free (with IAP)
Developer: Artix Entertainment LLC
Adventure Quest 3D is among the more ambitious MMORPG games on mobile right now, but it seems to be doing pretty okay despite it. The game features a fantasy setting, like most others in the genre, complete with four different classes – Warrior, Mage, Rogue, and Guardian.
Adventure Quest 3D is currently in open beta, but it's still quite fun to play and feels rather polished.
Celtic Heroes
Price: Free (with IAP)
Developer: One Thumb Mobile
Celtic Heroes is another fantasy MMORPG game. However, it comes with a unique twist to its world. As the name suggests, the game features a heavy Celtic setting, which certainly provides a breath of fresh air to the genre. It also comes with quite detailed 3D graphics and pretty comfortable touch controls.
Players can select from five classes for their character. There are also player guilds, trading system, PvP battles, and whatnot.
Celtic Heroes is definitely one to try if you're looking for a new world to explore.
Dungeon Hunter 5
Price: Free (with IAP)
Developer: Gameloft
The Dungeon Hunter franchise is pretty popular in the mobile gaming world. However, in case you haven't heard of it, let us introduce you to one of the most popular hack'n'slash titles to ever hit smartphones.
Other than that, the Dungeon Hunger 5 plays a lot like a classic hack'n'slash with polished graphics and pretty entertaining gameplay mechanics.
Vendetta Online
Price: Free with a level cap ($1 monthly subscription for full access)
Developer: Guild Software, Inc.
It's funny how mobile appears to be the perfect platform for two game genres to thrive, that can't do it anywhere else – casual games and space simulators. Vendetta Online is of the second kind – an MMO space sim with great graphics and fluid controls.
It was developed with the complexity of a PC game, and the developers made sure to state it in the store pages for it, too. This means that players shouldn't expect the game to be a cake walk, since there will be a lot of skill involved. The game even has two listing per app store – one with the full experience and one with simplified controls.
Order & Chaos 2
Price: Free (with IAP)
Developer: Gameloft
We can't talk about mobile MMO games without mentioning the critically acclaimed Order & Chaos series. The game has served as an example on how to make mobile MMOs since its release, and the second game in the series managed to take everything the first did well, and build on top of it.
The game features an extremely immersive world and beautifully designed graphics, 5 races and 5 different classes to choose from, and all the necessities for a full fantasy MMO experience. If you're going to play one MMO on your smartphone, Order & Chaos 2 should be it.
