The Android games catalog is extremely extensive. There are many games that aren’t worth it (at all, really) because they’re full of microtransactions or because they’re not games at all in some cases. However, there are also great titles. 2023 was a great year for video games on Android, but… what happens if we look at previous years?
This is precisely what we are going to do next, talking about ten free and still awesome games for Android. You probably already know some of them, but if we discover one or two games from this list, it will already be worth it.
Mobile Call of Duty
Let’s start with a classic that you were probably waiting for on this list, but which continues to be very good year after year. Even if the confrontations sometimes fail, “Call of Duty Mobile” is always a very fun multiplayer shooter.
Visually it’s spectacular, it moves very well on phones with high refresh rate screens and the best part is that it’s as addictive as day one. The games are short, we have lots of accessibility options to have automatic, assisted or fully manual fire and it is very easy to get started.
It’s full of micropayments, but you can enjoy many hours without leaving a cent.
Call of Duty: Mobile
It’s CALL OF DUTY and more, like you’ve never seen before. The popular multiplayer first-person shooter is back with new action-packed seasons!
Jetpack Joyride
And I’m sure you didn’t expect it. “Jetpack” is one of those games with which many of us started enjoying cell phone video games It’s been a few years now, and in 2023, its new version “Joyride” is still as fresh as ever.
The graphics have been (a little) updated and it’s an addictive endless runner like few others. You must collect coins and power-ups while avoiding dangers in a side-scrolling game that’s still a lot of fun.
Jetpack Joyride
From the creators of the global hit Fruit Ninja comes this high-flying “endless runner” that will keep you on edge game after game. Be careful not to fall off your chair!
Vampire Survivors
This one isn’t that old (in fact, it’s pretty new), but look, they tried to clone the formula… and they can’t find the key. When you start playing, seeing the almost MIDI graphics and music, as well as the extremely poor sound effects, you might think… “what have I gotten myself into”. However, little by little you will discover that you cannot leave.
It has a number of systems, suits and even a “lore” of weapons and powers. it will make you want to play one game after another. “Vampire Survivors” is very, very difficult to get out of and now that the game is free, it’s a great time to recommend it.
And if you like it, here is a documentary about the creation of the game. Don’t miss it because it is very interesting.
Vampire Survivors
Vampire Survivors is a survival RPG title with roguelike elements and minimalist gameplay.
Asphalt 9 Legends
“Asphalt” is another one of those classics that never goes out of style. With each version, its graphics improve and are updated, as well as the control. The ninth opus shocked me a little when it came out because it was much more arcade than before, with gesture control that didn’t convince me at first, but little by little it becomes more and more addictive and for short games it’s… perfect.
It has great graphics, it’s fun, fast and you can play perfectly for free.
Asphalt 9: Legends
In Asphalt 9: Legends, get behind the wheel of sports cars from famous and legendary manufacturers, such as Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini and W Motors, among many other international brands.
Beatstar
And a completely genre changing one, we have “Beatstar”. Do you know “Guitar Hero”? Well, you know everything you need to know about “Beatstar”. It’s a rhythm game that involves tapping at the right time to follow the song.
These are songs from different eras (although mostly quite current) and with a wide variety of styles and above all it’s a lot of fun. It offers micropayments, but you can play for free without any problems.
Beatstar Touch your music
Experience the next generation of music games with Beatstar, a new type of rhythm game that lets you play your music.
GenshinImpact
“Genshin Impact” doesn’t need an introduction either. It’s a title with spectacular graphics, a story that isn’t bad, a lot (but a lot) of characters and a lot of stories to complete.
This throws micropayments in your face, but you can play perfectly without spending a euro until very, very late in the game.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes
This one has many years behind him and You’ve probably played it if you like the universe created by Lucas.. It’s not a big game and is full of microtransactions, but if you are a fan of the saga you will surely like it.
It is a game in turn-based RGP format in which we can play with practically all the characters of the saga, improving them and making them more effective for the fights that really matter: those against bosses or enemies powerful. It has good graphics, all the Star Wars atmosphere and you can play without investing a single euro.

Alto’s Odyssey
Switching genres completely, we have “Alto’s Odyssey.” It’s a game to take it easy and enjoy it.especially with headphones, thanks to both its attractive graphics and its extremely relaxing sound environment.
It invites us to overcome platforms with very intuitive and simple control, but with increasingly difficult challenges to demonstrate little by little what we have learned. It’s a little difficult to explain, but it’s completely free and, without a doubt, it is one of those that we recommend you try.
Alto’s Odyssey
Where the horizon disappears, there is a majestic, immense and unexplored desert. Join Alto and his friends on this endless sandboard journey to reveal their secrets.
Fallout shelter
And one to take calmly, but which engages like few others is ‘Fallout Shelter’. It’s been on the Play Store for a while and you probably know it, but otherwise it’s a game about running a shelter. It is based on a popular western role-playing game saga and what we have to do is make our shelter bigger and more comfortable so that those who wander the nuclear wastelands have a home.

Sky: Children of Light
And we end with one of the highest quality games in the mobile games catalog. “Sky: Children of the Light” is a game created by ThatGameCompany, a developer who created the impressive “Journey” for PS3 and who released this game for iOS in 2019 and for Android in 2020.
It’s a slightly strange adventure in which we have the ability to fly thanks to certain capes, we discover magical worlds and… I don’t want to say more so as not to reveal anything. On an audiovisual level, it’s a true marvel and, if you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend it.
