6 Mobile Games On The Android That Are The Best Time Killers

There are many mobile games out there that draw you in with pretty graphics but horrible gameplay. Some are only there to waste your time and aren’t enjoyable at all while some are pretty fun and thus great time killers. Here are 6 mobile games that are the best time killers. 

1.  AFK Arena

AFK Arena is a similar yet different from most of the mobile games that it is classified with. It combines strategy with combat and idle clicking. 

The strategy comes in when you have to decide how to organize your characters on the field. You get up to six characters that you can put, but be careful. Sometimes the team with the higher number doesn’t always win. 

The game progresses with quests and a linear adventure that you can choose to read about or not. It doesn’t affect the gameplay at all if you know about the lore behind the game. 

There are many different characters to collect, level up, and put armor on which is specific to their class or their character itself. Each character has their own skills and abilities which get used in the gameplay. 

One of the great parts about this game is that you don’t have to do anything in the gameplay itself. You send your team in against AI on the adventure and let them do their thing. If they are in a good formation and have enough strength, they will win. 

There are many more interesting features in this game like an arena where you can fight against other players, a tower your team can climb up, and a labyrinth you can take your team through. 

2. Tap Titans 2

This is one of the more famous mobile games. It’s on both the Android systems and the iPhone system so people can play together across platforms. 

It starts off slow until you reset a few times, with your clicks only doing 1 point per tap. However, you will want to stick it out once you get in a rut. You will want to make sure you are using your abilities after you unlock them as well. 

If you still can’t pass a certain level after furiously tapping away, then you should prestige so that you can get the points from that run and go again. Every time you prestige you should be getting stronger. 

Once you reach a certain point you will be able to start at a stage further than just level 1. 

You can eventually join a guild, which will give you a boost in tapping away at the titans’ health. The amount of damage the guild does depends on the level the entire guild is at. 

About twice a week there are tournaments you can join to earn certain items that are useful in the game the further you go on. 

3. Gardenscapes

You might see a lot of mobile games that are similar to Gardenscapes. The main point is to decorate a garden by collecting starts after each level. It is a match 3 type of game, meaning you have to match at least three of any type of item to progress. 

As you get further into the game, the levels, of course, get harder and it demands more. Each level has its own requirements for completing that level and you only get a certain amount of moves to get to the target. 

Some levels you will want to rely on the powerups that result when you combine a certain amount of the same type of item. The powerups can be fireworks, bombs, dynamite, or TNT. Each has its own radius and limit to how much they can take out. 

When you get enough stars to decorate one part of your current area in the garden, you get a choice between three options on how to decorate that area. So you get a choice, but it is limited. Unlike some of these types of mobile games, you don’t have to pay for any of the three options. Either in-game currency or real-life money. 

This game frequently has little side games where you can earn more powerups to use in the main game and earn unlimited lives if you complete a certain amount of levels. These are available at all times in the game so you don’t have to worry about getting past a certain level to get access to these.

4. Most idle clicker games

These types of mobile games are clumped into one category because most of them are the same type of gameplay. You start off in level one by building up to a maximum level of that item and keep buying more until you reach the maximum amount that the game will let you get. 

You then can move on to the next level and keep moving up until you need an exponential amount of money to move on. It’s at this point that the game will prompt you to prestige to game a multiplier that you help you progress faster and further the next time through. 

With these mobile games, it’s all about what you would prefer to be building. In the picture below it’s a factory setting where you build different kinds of products based on what area you are in. There are ones where you just produce eggs, bumblebees, planes, etc. 

These games eventually require more patience and grinding that money than other types of mobile games, but something is satisfying about finally getting past that rut and getting a lot more in-game money.

5. Archero

Archero is a unique combination of idle clicker games and combat games. Much like every other game, you start off at ground zero. The movement is very simple: you control your characters movement like a joystick.

You can move freely and as much as you want, but you aren’t able to shoot your arrows while moving. 

As you get further into a dungeon, the monsters become more frequent and you have to adapt to their movements by dodging more and shooting less. 

You eventually get pets and can level up your equipment as you progress through the levels and get more money. However, there is a bit of luck and grinding that you have to do to level up and get more power in your pets and your character. 

The game is constantly being updated so new things are always coming. 

6. Love Nikki Dress Up Queen

Many mobile games focus on combat and even though this one looks very frilly, it also has its own type of combat in it. 

You start off the game by being introduced to the lore of the world you will be in. Throughout your adventure, you will be given advice on how best to win each fight by your faithful cat companion. 

The entire goal that the game starts off with is you are looking for a lost piece of design, fighting people in a pokemon type of gameplay: you see another person, you have to fight them in a fashion battle. 

You will eventually have to grind certain levels to get more money or attain certain types of clothing. The downside to this system is that you only have a certain amount of hearts, or energy, within a given time so you need a lot of patience when you do eventually need to grind.
