The best strategy games on Android smartphones and tablets
Now is the time to move to fantasy worlds to talk about the best strategy games for Android. Since almost the beginning of time, we have had important titles that invited us to plan our actions to defeat our enemies, especially on PC, but with the development of new devices, this genre has expanded. As we know that many of you enjoy video games on your Android devices, we recommend the best strategy games that you can find in this operating system.
DomiNations
Considered by many the best copy of the Age of Empires for mobile devices. Unlike other mobile strategy titles, DomiNations will transport us to the beginning of time to develop a civilization and evolve it throughout the different periods of history (Middle Ages, Modern Ages, Contemporary Ages…) to conquer the world against 50 other players.
Likewise, the game has different famous characters, such as Leonado Da Vinci, Catherine the Great or King Sejong. Its graphic section is very similar to that of the Ensemble Studios title.
Battle for the Galaxy
The fate of the Galaxy is in your hands in Battle of Galaxy, a real-time space MMO game in which we have to build our base, create an army, attack enemies, seek resources, steal them from enemies and win medals if we achieved a series of objectives. One of the best strategy games for Android that features high-quality 3D art and graphics for mobile devices.

Clash Royale
When the developers of Clash of Clans decide to actually play the strategy game, it gives Clash Royale. This is actually a mix of Strategy and Tower Defense. The goal here is to destroy the central tower of your opponent by invoking units on a small map. There’s also a card game component, to the HearthStone since each victory unlocks chests allowing you to have more gold and especially new cards, units that can then invoke during the battles. SuperCell has also incorporated a social component since the player can join a clan to find maps more easily. Clash Royale is a beautiful, well done, and rhythmic game. In addition, it is particularly addictive. A real success.
Fire Emblem Heroes
The first game of Nintendo to arrive on Android, Fire Emblem Heroes is a T-RPG putting strategy at the heart of its gameplay. There are many of the emblematic characters of the series in a scripted adventure adapted for mobiles. It takes the principle of stone-leaf-scissors to facilitate the fighting and offer short game sessions. The economic model, although free-to-play, is not too invasive and if the chance is obviously of the game, one can advance without too much problem in history without having to get hold of the wallet.
Plague Inc.
Released more than three years ago on Android, Plague Inc. is great classic game management. No question of ordering troops, the player embodies a virus and the goal is to ensure that no human escapes. Plague Inc is therefore calling for the creation of a virus capable of adapting to the many remedies that these unbearable human beings constantly develop, targeting fragile and strategic countries (for example, crossroads) and attempting to infiltrate islands, usually the hardest to be contaminated. Plague Inc. is also proud of the luxury of being free to download on Android.
Clash of clans
I think it is useless to present it. Clash of Clans is probably the best-known strategy games on mobile devices. The principle is simple: build your fortress to defend itself from the assaults of other players, and attack your opponents before they can protect themselves enough. The game is free, and many in-app purchases are available to evolve faster.
Hearthstone
Without any doubt, Hearthstone is one of the top free strategy games for Android. On the bottom, Hearthstone follows the principle of Magic the Assembly: two players compete on a board using cards representing units, spells or weapons. On the form the game is unassailable: beautiful, superbly animated, equipped with an exemplary interface and a progression curve that makes the game very quickly addictive. Heartstone is essentially oriented towards online gaming, but recently extensions (paying) allow players to play against AIs. However, you need an Internet connection to play the game.
Boom Beach
Boom Beach is a truly fun strategy game. You load troopships to free the beaches of your enemies, who are none other than the guard ribs! It’s funny, fluid, extremely well done and it’s free. In-app purchases are available there again.
Plants vs Zombies 2
Another extremely well-known zombie game based on strategy. Based on the principle of “tower-defense” it will be necessary to arrange plants to defend your home from zombie attacks. Obviously you have to make strategic choices and the developers have in this added version added elements of difficulty. It’s free with in-app purchases.
Out There: Ω Edition
Out There is a survival game in which you must travel through the galaxies to find the necessary resources. You will have to fight against aliens to stay alive. Three different purposes are possible. Really interesting. And the graphics in the Comics sauce are the best effect.
Obviously, this is just a selection of games, and as tastes and colors are not discussed, some of you may prefer other strategy games. If you have any suggestions, do not hesitate to tell us about it in the comments. Thank you for reading.
