Best Strategy Games for Android

One of the first game genres in human history is strategy. We have been playing strategic games for a very long time—whether it be chess, board games, or even certain card games.

Although strategy games have advanced significantly, the fundamental idea of employing intelligence to outwit your opponents still holds true today. It's a great method to put your creative abilities to the test.

For the clever thinkers out there, we've rounded together some of our best strategy games on Android. These are more complex puzzle games that demand thoughtful planning and preparation in order to succeed. Games like this also have a lot of replay value because the same tactic won't necessarily work twice.

The Battle of Polytopia

The Battle of Polytopia is a turn-based civilization game is called. It has many of the same components as other strategy games. You must manage the map, fend off adversaries, explore new areas, and boost your weaponry. The game offers both single-player and multiplayer modes. We particularly value the matchmaking options, such as the ability to compete against members of your own tribe.

Other features include low-poly visuals that should be compatible with most phones, offline play, pass-and-play local multiplayer, leaderboards, and pass-and-play local multiplayer. The controls are also rather simple, and everything functions as it should. Despite how it appears, it's a surprisingly good genre game. We appreciate that even the in-app transactions are not objectionable.

Bad North: Jotunn Edition

One of those exceptional games that occasionally amaze us all is Bad North. It fits quite nicely with the way the developers describe it as a real-time tactics roguelike. Make no mistake—this is a difficult game, and even the winning condition isn't all that joyful.

You see, you're fighting a horde of Norse invaders on your island home. They'll attack you swiftly and brutally, keeping you on the edge of your seat as you struggle to survive. The cutesy art style fits all of this very well. It's a charming game that deceives you into thinking you're safe.

Card Thief

A great combination of a card game and a strategy game is Card Thief. The game revolves around stealth; you take on the role of a criminal who must work their way through a deck of cards while evading capture to gain wealth. You may also utilize equipment cards to help you in your theft, but be careful not to become arrogant or you will run out of sneak points and be detected.

You'll put out candles, catch pickpocket guards, and engage in other nefarious antics. In Card Thief, you may improve your equipment cards as you carry off heists thanks to a decent progression system, daily challenges, and complex techniques. Although there is a little learning curve, lovers of strategic card games will find this to be a satisfying game.

Enyo

Playing Enyo is similar to playing chess, but it's more enjoyable. Chess is nice and good, I kid you not, but Enyo takes that same mood and adds an intriguing twist to it to produce an experience that is both familiar and fresh. You take on the role of Enyo, the Greek goddess of war, as she sets out to retrieve three mythical artifacts from a revolving labyrinth. The catch is that Enyo can only move between spaces by using her shield bash and hook abilities. You will have to fight your way through enemy-filled boards.

Boards are littered with environmental dangers that endanger both you and your adversaries, making the restricted movement all the more crucial. Pushing an adversary into a lava hole and killing them there is especially rewarding. Although the premise of the game is simple to grasp, mastering it requires time and effort, which some may say is the mark of a genuinely excellent strategy game. Enyo's design and colors are so similar to those of the enemies that it can be difficult to distinguish her on the game board, which is one of the few minor problems I have regarding the game. I occasionally found myself visually forgetting my position, but it's not a deal-breaker.

Basic gameplay mechanics and modes are included in the free version, but you can access more content by making in-app purchases. Although there are sporadic ads, this free game offers some excellent strategic content in a fantastic environment.

Hello Neighbor

A stealth horror puzzle/strategy game is called Hello Neighbor. In essence, you are a nosy neighbor watching out for another neighbor. You believe that the individual in question is hiding something in his basement and are determined to find out what it is. You'll keep breaking into his house, but he'll figure out your tendencies and put up barriers to stop you. You must thus devise a fresh plan of action that gets around what he has already set up.

This game will cost you a fair price, but if you want a strategy/puzzle game with horror components, I think it's worth it. I'll grant that it has a peculiar idea, but I find it to be rather entertaining.

Holedown

Holedown is a fast-paced puzzle game with some strategic elements. In the game, you must use bouncing miner balls that ricochet off of colored blocks to mine to the center of celestial bodies, starting with an asteroid and moving up to the Sun. Each brick has a number that indicates how many hits are required to completely destroy it. By removing a block that is supporting other blocks, you can let gravity do the bulk of the work. Some blocks are bolded in place and must be removed.

This game is simple to learn and play, but that's where strategy enters the picture. Since every brick is curved, you may create very challenging bank shots to remove big chunks of blocks at once. As the screen moves up a row after each shot, this will become rather crucial. The game is ended if the blocks fill the entire screen.

You can upgrade your equipment along the way to get more shots per round and more balls per shot by using the crystals you collect along the way. The later planets must be completed with these upgrades, but they also make the earlier levels more of a mindless diversion during your subway commute.

Holedown is a great investment of your time if you enjoy physics-based puzzle games and are looking for a new obsession.
