Best Free Offline Games For Android: Offline Shooting Games

Shadow Fight 2

shadow fight 2 - free offline games for androidIt is the sequel to one of the most popular offline shooting games, i.e., – Shadow Fight 1. It was also one among the most addictive Android games we have ever had. The game presents a mixture of RPG action and severe fighting. It includes a lot of traditional (but lethal) weapons that you can use. Also, there are some new modifications to the weapons as well.

The armors, weapons and magical powers available to unlock are attractive and would keep you willing to fight for them. The opponents are way more powerful and appealing than the characters you encountered with the first iteration of the game.

There’s a slim difference (negligible) between the real physical reflexes and the in-game character reflexes. So, it is a game where you can experience life-like martial arts techniques.

Nova 3: Freedom Edition

nova 3 - free offline games for androidNova 3 is one of the best action games for Android. It offers a superb gaming experience, quite similar to that found on Crysis PC game series. Well, not the same but Nova 3 takes it to the next level of action games on your smartphone.

For the same reason, you need an incredibly powerful or well-optimised Android device to run it without any stuttering issues. It presents you with two modes, one for the campaign, and the second being the multiplayer mode. Of course, you need an active Internet connection for the multiplayer mode, but you can still enjoy playing ten levels of campaign mode. The story line offered with the campaign mode is very impressive and fun to play along with.

Nova 3 could be obviously considered as one of the high-quality graphics – offline game – that you can have installed.

Dots is one of the best free games for Android in the puzzle genre that you can play without Internet.  It is all about connecting the dots to complete the challenges.

You need to connect only the same-colored dots either horizontally or vertically. Even better, make a square for a bigger score!

BADLAND

badland - best offline android gameIt is an award-winning puzzle game title on the Play Store. The game brings in a lot of creativity baked in. It is probably the best side-scrolling adventure game we have seen so far. The graphics quality is good enough for high-end devices. The physics-based gameplay is innovative indeed.

Multiplayer support? Yes! It offers support for up to 4 players to play on a single device, and also you can connect up to 4 players in Single Player campaign mode. It depends on you whether you feel the multiplayer support is convenient or not.

Unquestionably, it is one of the hottest free offline games for Android out there!

Puzzle Retreat

Puzzle Retreat is surely one of the best offline games for Android in the puzzle genre. It may not be a popular choice as a game to play without Internet but it surely is interesting.

You just have to slide all the blocks to fill the holes. You need to utilize the special blocks to change directions in order to achieve the objective. Why not give it a try and let us know?

Best Offline RPG Games For Android

Minecraft: Pocket Edition (Paid)minecraft

Minecraft is a masterpiece. We couldn’t resist adding this (even it is not available for free!). The graphics quality may seem to you as something weird. However, the game’s concept revolves around the pixel block designs of the character and the texture as well. It is a highly addictive game, and you would definitely enjoy playing it.

Quite a high price to pay for a game. However, on Black Friday deals, you would probably get it at $0.99. So, if you can wait, you can save a couple of bucks.

Best Free Offline Games For Android – Racing

Hill Climb Racing

hill climb racing - endless car gameHill Climb Racing is a very popular Android game. It is one of the craziest free offline games for Android. I am already in love with this game! So, I will surely recommend this one. However, irrelevant to my opinion, this game deserves to be listed here. I’m sure, you agree to that?

All you have to do is keep driving. You would always get limited fuel. Moreover, there would be checkpoints where you can refuel the vehicle. It has been intelligently crafted to make it look easy but it isn’t actually.

Yes, you do have to utilize your brain (that you have!) while playing the game. Simply, decide the right vehicle according to the terrain and you will be alright. For instance – if you have a wet track to drive on, you should consider the Monster truck for a better grip than a bike. You will find a bunch of interesting vehicles listed as well.

Stickman Downhill

stickman downhill - endless stickman gamesYou are a stickman! It is similar to Hill Climb Racing. However, it is easier and fun to play. You are driving your way through creative obstacles being a stick man (yeah, that is the best part!). The developer team has put their creative brains to introduce such excellent gameplay.

Stickman downhill is an impressive game for Android devices. Although you always complain about the people being too skinny, you will love being the stickman in this game.

Asphalt 8: Airborne

asphalt 8 airborneAsphalt 8 is one of the best car racing games for Android. It provides a breathtaking gameplay experience. You can play the campaign mode offline but you still have to download a lot of data initially.

Asphalt now downloads the race circuits separately. So, if you have a slow Internet connection, you should wait longer to play it perfectly offline. Overall, the game is superb.

The graphics quality is indeed excellent. However, the multiplayer experience is far more addictive, where you compete for real prizes sometimes. It is an excellent piece of creation on the Play Store for gamers who opt for car racing games all the time. If you think that you cannot wait to download gigabytes of data for the game initially, you may try Asphalt Nitro, which provides a similar experience in a compact file size.

Best Free Offline Android Games: Endless Runner

Vector 2

vector 2 - offline android gameThe sequel to Vector 1 is a lot better. Vector 1 was surely one of the only popular offline Android games to represent parkour to its fullest potential. Let’s face it – the people who have mastered performing parkour for real – are not monkeys jumping around but the best athletes who have learned to have the control over their body. Vector 1 offers exciting gameplay, with the lead character on the run for his life. You will have to keep running and avoid obstacles to prevent getting caught. It was never easy.

Now, Vector 2 presents the same with a modern concept. This time, you get high-tech gears and a steep track to run on. It is a worthy sequel to the previous adding sci-fi approach to the game.

Undoubtedly, our favorite pick while considering the free offline Android games in the Endless Running category.

The opponents are stronger and scarier this time (compared to Plants vs. Zombies 1). You will observe that the plants and zombies have got cooler names that you might have imagined for yourself.

Fret not, if you do not have an Internet connection, you can play it over WiFi (creating a hotspot and players connecting to the network).Well, technically, you are creating a WiFi network to play it with your friends but without the need of an Internet connection.

Mostly, it would work well when each of your friends is under one roof. You can increase the range for connecting more players nearby with a robust WiFi network.
