No internet? No problem! The best Android games to play offline

There are still places untouched by the enlightening hands of the Internet. If you and your Android device end up in one of these dark places, you may feel cut off from the rest of the world. Don't panic, the solution is simple – here are the best offline Android games for you to check out, recently updated with new recommendations for you to try.

Gaming smartphones: do gaming modes actually boost performance?

Why do we actually need offline games?

There are situations when our smartphones are offline. For instance, we deliberately go offline because we want to escape the stress of social media, WhatsApp messages, news, or even work emails. The keyword here is digital detox. However, it is not uncommon to encounter situations where we are offline not by choice.

Getting onto a train in the metro or subway system is one situation where it is all too common for our LTE connectivity (let alone 5G networks) to drop or when we want to avoid bill shock when we return from our holidays abroad. 

If you want to be able to use your smartphone without a data connection under such circumstances, it makes perfect sense for apps that function offline. This becomes even more important the longer you have to go without an Internet connection.

This article will include recommendations of games that work perfectly fine offline. Bear in mind that it does not mean these titles will never access the internet. Some do have cloud features such as Google Play or require you to download new levels on demand.

By the way, if you use Google Play Games or Apple's Game Center and are keen on retaining your in-game achievements, you can play these titles offline without any hesitation as the next time you are connected to the Internet, these achievements will be automatically updated accordingly. 

Hot tip: Launch the game once with an internet connection so that it can load all of the necessary data and information. If you're on an airplane, you'll need to remember to do this before takeoff. If you're not connected to the internet, you can also launch the game, albeit without having the latest game data available.

But enough with the pleasantries! Here is a list of offline games that we highly recommend. The list comprises a cross-section of different genres. As always, this is a subjective list and we look forward to your feedback and ideas for more offline games. We've added three more games on this list in the latest update (as of May 2021).

Most free-to-play games do offer a certain graphical quality while many of them have features limited to online use since that's a big part of how they make money (by showing online ads, encouraging competition with better-equipped players, and so on). Generally speaking, premium paid games tend to see a greater degree of offline play, although there are still offline games available for free. We've picked out the best of the bunch for you to enjoy:

Jum To:

Alto's Odyssey

We have already recommended this chilling game to you in a different article because of its beautiful graphics. It works well with the amazing sound and wonderfully relaxed gameplay where you will be able to kill time on Alto's Odyssey when offline.

It is the perfect title for moments when you will remain offline for a longer period of time, such as when you are on a flight. There is no point in getting all worked up then since this game relaxes you and keeps you captivated even during a long session, where you will feel as though time flew by (ba-dum-tsh!) quickly. Alto's Odyssey offers all of the above, which is why we highly recommend this endless running title to you.

  • 4.5 stars on Google Play / 4.3 stars on the Apple App Store.
  • Price: Free, in-game ads (Android) / $4.99 (iOS).
  • In-App purchases: Yes (Android) / No (iOS).

Grid

Grid is a racing game that comes across as highly recommended. This title offers nail-biting races with plenty of cars, tracks, and modes to choose from. Along the way, you will also be able to unlock plenty of items, providing long term motivation that should help you last the distance (heh heh heh). This is one of the rare racing games that offer just about everything right from the very beginning!

Forking out less than $10 for this title is well worth every penny, as it has everything you need to be happy offline. You don't have to wait until you are given more turns to continue playing or purchase additional turns with money, and neither do you have to fork out more money to buy additional tracks, gaming modes, or cars. Once you have handed over $9.99 for it, you have total peace of mind to hit the digital asphalt offline. 

Smash Hit

Smash Hit is one of those games that has been with me for many years. This means it is not a new title - far from it. In fact, it has not been updated over the past two years, but this does not detract from the level of fun that the game offers if you ask me. In fact, when I was offline again recently and discovered that some of the games I wanted to indulge in did not work, I launched Smash Hit and thoroughly enjoyed myself. 

You move through levels that are fairly easy at first, shooting bullets to destroy all that comes across your screen on both left and right sides. The difficulty level ramps up rather quickly, ensuring that seasoned veterans would not be able to complete this game easily. What is that saying about games such as this? "Easy to learn, difficult to master" or it's equivalent. 

Once again, this title focuses on a relaxed gaming session. This maxim becomes more true when wearing a pair of headphones, as it develops an almost hypnotic attraction due to the soundtrack while automatically forcing you time and again to restart just to beat your previous efforts. 

Mini Metro

Are you a born city planner? In Mini Metro for both Android and iOS platforms, you are tasked with equipping the largest and most diverse cities worldwide with a functioning mass transit system. The fun factor is there from the very beginning, where you switch and move on a 2D map while checking out the underbelly of each city.

The game relies on symbols to show you which passengers need to be transported to their respective destinations. It's up to you to connect the stations. Each week (time moves differently in the game and does not correspond to real-world time), you will receive new locomotives, lines, tunnels, bridges, or wagons for you to continue developing the city's transportation system.

Here is an important tip: Always keep an eye on the most important metro stations. If a station is overcrowded, the game ends. The goal of the game is to prevent overcrowding at stations when playing, which will obviously affect your high score in return. 

In normal mode, Mini Metro is always playable offline. In "Daily" mode, there's also an online variant where you can compete with players worldwide.

Bricks Breaker Puzzle

Bricks Breaker Puzzle for iOS and Android is all about breaking things, albeit in a harmless manner though. You shoot a ball by tapping the screen. With it, you have to hit the bricks and break them. The item's durability is displayed as a number, if it drops to 0, it will break, with the caveat that it must not fall onto the ground. Okay, probably everybody knows the game's mechanics that stems from the classic Alleyway, right?

Bricks Breaker Puzzle also offers a multiplayer mode where you can compare your stats. This feature is only available when you are online.

The Room: Old Sins - An offline game for puzzle fans

The fourth game in The Room series for Android and iOS is great, and once again the developers have hit the sweet spot. The Room: Old Sins takes you to the attic of an old house, where you have to solve the mystery of the disappearance of a married couple. All clues lead to a dollhouse, but there's far more to it than meets the naked eye.

The Room: Old Sin scores well with its atmospheric graphics and unique puzzles that are never impossible to solve. This is the perfect puzzler for those who are on a longer commute and would like to enjoy their offline mode by walking through The Room's universe. The third part introduced the possibility of discovering additional endings at the end of the first run-through, and by extension, this game has also seen the fourth installment.

Its three predecessors also come across as highly recommended and can be purchased at an even cheaper price. 

Mekorama: Monument Valley for robot friends

If you've ever played Monument Valley, you'll also find pure joy in Mekorama for both Android and iOS. In this offline game, you control a small nameless robot by navigating it through carefully crafted 3D worlds. Using the "tap-to-move" mechanism, you indicate the direction in which the little robot should wander.

The difficulty of this game lies in the towers on which the robot moves - these are 3D towers. In higher levels, you will have to turn a lot and consider both elevators and tunnels along the way to ensure your little robot arrives at its destination safely. To make matters more challenging, the robot can also fall off - in which case you'll have to start the level all over again.

The nice thing about Mekorama is that you not only have 50 levels to indulge in, but you can also create your own levels. Self-created worlds can then be shared with your friends around the world via QR code. But even the existing 50 levels are challenging enough for most. If you have VR glasses, you can even play Mekorama as a VR version, but this version will set you back by $3.99.

Street Fighter IV Champion Edition: Bring your battles offline

One of my criticisms of Street Fighter IV, when it was first released for Android, was that it required an Internet connection to play. Thankfully, Capcom has since lifted that restriction, allowing you to continue your brawls when you are offline. 

Of course, you won't be able to compete against other human players, but even against the AI, it's the best offline fighting game for Android and iOS. In the free version, you basically have a demo with Ryu and a few other characters.

For $4.99, you unlock Chun-Li, Guile, and all of the other classic fighters from the arcade, plus some new faces. The touchscreen controls for smartphones are decent enough, but there's also the option to enable a special button for special moves just to make things a little easier.

  • 3.5 stars on Google Play / 4.6 stars on the Apple App Store.
  • Price: Free demo (Android), $4.99 (iOS).
  • In-App Purchases: Yes (Android) / No (iOS).

Implosion: Never Lose Hope: Captivating Sci-Fi Game

This fantastic action game from Rayark is a slick sci-fi slash-n-shoot-em-up in which you control a mech tasked with saving humanity from a mutant plague. The first six levels of the game are free, with a one-time in-app purchase that lets you activate the remainder of the game. This includes a large campaign, side missions, and challenges that will keep you busy for hours on end.

Featuring snappy controls and sometimes violent animations, in addition to a variety of enemies and challenging boss fights, Implosion captivated me. The levels were designed for short play sessions (5-10 minutes), but there are a variety of special modes that add replay value.

  • 3.8 stars on Google Play / 4.2 stars on the Apple App Store.
  • Price: Free (Android) / $1.99 (iOS).
  • In-app purchases: Yes Android) / No (iOS).

ICEY: Offline Hack-and-Slay

On the surface, ICEY for iOS and Android is just a nice action hack-and-slash game. The cybernetic samurai protagonist slashes, whirls, and brawls her way through a series of robotic enemies. As you run and fight through the different stages, the game delivers a satisfying beat-em-up experience, with a friendly narrator guiding you in the right direction with helpful info.

And it's a lot of fun, too. Don't let the straightforward presentation fool you. Early on, ICEY hints that there's more to discover when you dig deeper. If you choose to defy the narrator and follow other paths, you'll stumble upon a hidden level and discover a fascinating story.

Badland: Offline game for action fans

This game is certainly not one of the newest games available, but it is still one of the favorite games among the NextPit editorial team. Badland on both Android and iOS is an incredibly good-looking action-adventure sidescroller that impressed us with its loving yet gloomy atmosphere.

In the game, you happen to be some species of bird and have to steer your character through a forest. Numerous dangers and traps are there to slow down your journey. Badland scrolls on and on, and when your bird reaches the left edge, you will restart from the last checkpoint.

In total there are more than 80 levels to complete, but only the first 40 are free to play. The other levels can be purchased via an in-app purchase. Conveniently, there is a multiplayer mode in which you can explore a total of 21 levels on one device with up to four other players.

  • 4.5 stars on Google Play / 4.4 stars on the Apple App Store.
  • Price: Free, in-game ads (Android) / $0.99 (iOS).
  • In-app purchases: Yes (Android) / No (iOS).

Limbo: Lonely through the desolation

Limbo is a platformer on both Android and iOS platforms, where you control a young boy who wanders around a lonely and monochrome world, searching for his lost sister. The game is a classic indie title that has been painstakingly ported over to the Android platform (smartphones and tablets), with its humble beginnings on iOS.

Limbo's world is sad, creepy, and incredibly intriguing, and you'll quickly get sucked into the story. Total gaming time with this can be rather short, but definitely worth the entry price to support a tiny indie studio. Here is a little tip to help get you started: beware of spiders!

Does not Commute: Offline game for commuters

Does Not Commute is a mix of both racing and skill, being available on Android and iOS platforms. This is a very unique title, where each level consists of a small road network. You have control of cars, trucks, or even boats on a predetermined route - one vehicle at a time. And that's where things get tricky: because with each additional car, there's more traffic on the road and you'll encounter other road users accordingly. As vehicles follow the same exact route that you have taken before, the challenge piles up with a countdown that mercilessly edges toward zero.

Obstacles in the game create a very special feeling in Does Not Commute. It can be over very quickly, where the player misses the goal of bringing all vehicles home safely by a few seconds. And of course, you can't let this disgrace remain. Another plus point would be the fancy graphics. There is a tiny cute detail right at the end: Each level tells a little story about the different drivers you control.

Does Not Commute offers a checkpoint system, but you have to unlock that feature via an in-app purchase. If you really want to get far in the game, this is probably something that cannot be avoided, of which you will need to be online to do so as well.

Riptide GP: Renegade: Offline game for (jet ski) racers

Riptide GP Renegade is a jet ski racing game for Android and iOS platforms that will keep you entertained for a long time: In a somewhat post-apocalyptic environment, you whiz through water courses that are not only peppered with many obstacles, but your opponents are also not shy to make short work of you.

To be faster, you can switch on your turbo. Since turbo will not last forever, you can recharge it by performing stunts during the race. The more complex the trick, the more turbo energy you receive. Controlling the jet ski and performing tricks are shown in a tutorial, which also serves as an introduction to the story.

In addition to the impressive graphics, the gameplay is also incredibly challenging: This is because you are not on solid ground, but are racing across water that requires plenty of intuition to keep the jet ski under control. Challenging tracks, great graphics, and is even playable offline: What more could you want?

As I mentioned, these recommendations are subjective and does not make a complete list. There are many other games for iOS and Android that can be played offline without the need to go online, including games that Apple offers as part of its Apple Arcade subscription. If you know of any games that you think should be on this list of offline games, let us know in the comments.

    Mmm... mm mm mm
    I am the universal bad grammer translator! I shall translate this for you all!
    **Actually I'm a guy that is looking for real guys games. That means good graphics. If not, the game is not worth playing. I dunno how many around here have played games on Pc in MS DOS and games on platforms that were before the PlayStation and Xbox consoles. My point is, I would never play a game again with same graphic as all the games were back then. Technology advances so we're not stupidly stuck on same old games. There are so many games with awsome graphics and real true games that exist and u guys never even mention them. So shame on you! I dunno if anyone knows the Pc game, Dead Space but it's an awesome game. That game is on android too and it has same graphic as on Pc but with a different story line and types of actions. Have you guys even heard of it? Probably not since here you only give stupid and extremely poor graphic quality games. Even Batman on android has astonishing graphics! Well stay back in the 90s with these games. I'll just pass by and say hi from the real gamers place.**

    Woo. That was a lot.
    Tips: °Don't rant about graphic quality.
    °You can't spell awesome but you can spell
    astonishing? Work on that.
    °For the love of God! Please!!! Spell check yourself. I could just barely understand you enough to translate.

    Usually just board games like chess and Go, but recently came across a sale price on "Dust and Salt", a fairly slow and thoughtful sword and sandal epic with a lot of text but military and empire build up and battles now and then. Not for the twitchy fingered player, but a pretty good game of decisions and consequences.

    A lot of games, good for fun or for the time lost.
    But the most important game is missing, without which you can not make the top 10 of all the games ever played, a game that made history, a game that created general hysteria, a crazy rule: ANGRYYY BIRDS !!!
    (take it as a joke, please)

    A Girl Adrift by Tapas
    You can sync to the online servers if you like, but you totally can do everything offline. Cute, relaxing, has some story.

    Crab War
    There are some buffs you can only get while online, and the store only works online. But you can play offline.

    Star Traders 4X by the Trese Brothers.
    Very unique turn-based strategy game. You control 3 factions who hate each other while being attacked by up to 16 factions you cannot negotiate with at all. Diplomacy is used to keep your 3 factions from tearing you apart long enough to survive the outside threat. Also, utterly fantastic development team. The brothers respond to email, give advice in their forums, discuss strategy and development ideas, etc. Totally worth supporting them.

    Empire (nothing else, just "empire") by Crazy Monkey Studio
    No free version. Great survival game. You cannot win. The goal is to see how long you can hold out.

    Battle for Wesnoth
    Another strategy game. This one is openly moddable, has dozens of user-made campaigns, you can create your own maps in game, and even invent new unit times and even game rules then share with others all for free.


    • Nicholas Montegriffo Sep 29, 2017 Link to comment

      Thanks for those tips, Gavin. I'm familiar with Battle for Wesnoth but I'll have to check out the others.

    I had Asphalt 8 installed and playing it from time to time. Last time in plane I was thinking to play it offline to kill time. It didn't work. It kept asking for a connection to check for an update. I tried to cancel but it won't work.
    I rage-uninstall the app :-)

  • ali rahmani Dec 14, 2016 Link to comment

    In the truth most people love shooting game. We have lots of shooting game but a few amount of them are suitable and perfect.

    Infinity Blade III and modern combat 5 are the perfect games. I love them very much. Everything about them really very well and suitable like their graphic and the action scenes. Another game that I love it it’s the Enemy Nightmare. It is the one of best shooting games, and it’s free. I think this game is really perfect and it graphic is high. This is Top 10 shooter game on ios. This popular shooting game is among best third person shooting games aiming to offer you an enjoyable time while playing the game in realistic combats against the terrorists in Middle-East.

    search the enemy nightmare in google play


    • Eduardo Rojas Jan 9, 2017 Link to comment

    Why would you jump straight to Sorcery! 2? Yeah, it's better than the first one, but it's also the middle of the story. If you play Sorcery! first you both have a better idea of what's happening and can bring your character with all their spells and loot. And if you're just going based on the best game in the series that should surely be Sorcery! 3. Maybe include the whole series as one entry?

    I was really disappointed Plant VS Zombies 2 can't be played offline. I will stick with the original since it can. I love playing the survival mode. I don't keep games I can't play offline I hate the adds always popping up. You should add the original to your list it is a great time waster, when your waiting for something.

  • Matt Willson Feb 3, 2016 Link to comment

    This article is complete rubbish. Many of these games are online only. You had one job, Robert Zak... Wa wa

      Sorry to hear you were disappointed Matt, the page has been updated recently and we hope you find the current content more appealing. Thanks for the comment as always :)

    The ****?? No ShadowFight 2????

    Lame Paid Articles.................


    • Scott Adam Gordon Feb 17, 2016 Link to comment

      Thanks for the comment kutchero. It's not a paid article, these are clearly signed. We can't include every single offline game ever and if a game you like isn't on the list, there could be any number of reasons for this. We might disagree with you, we might not have tested it, etc etc etc.

      That being said, NEKKI's Shadow Fight 2 IS now on the list because AndroidPIT believes in it as strong offline Android title -- that's all.

      I appreciate the comment all the same.

  • Hazey Jan 15, 2016 Link to comment

    Boo.... for some reason none of these games are available in Timor-Leste! Any ideas why? Copyright issues?


    • Scott Adam Gordon Feb 17, 2016 Link to comment

      Sorry to hear that Hazey, I don't know why none of them are available in that region. It's strange, possibly a legal issue as you suggest.


  • Carlos Phantera Jan 4, 2016 Link to comment

    Men...don't need to say where u can put those games right???
    Here's a tip...is a place where sun never shine...


  • Soul Khan Dec 18, 2015 Link to comment

    Really disappointed with the lack of insight offered here - why are there on-line only games like mini warriors on this list. Really missed the ball....


    • Scott Adam Gordon Feb 17, 2016 Link to comment

      Sorry to hear that you are disappointed Soul Khan, I've since updated the list and hope you like the current content more.

      We believed that Mini Warriors was an offline Android game but I today confirmed that it's not and updated the article to reflect this.

      It's worth mentioning that some of the games on this list DO require online capabilities for some non-essential features, however, such as purchasing in-app gold or items, and sometimes functionality and online requirements change over time.

      Thanks for reading

    Gameloft has lots of games with good graphics. After the initial download, all of their games work offline. Best of all they are cross platform. Just in case you don't know what cross platform means, they make the games for Android, iPhone(iOS), PC & also for some basic cell phones. The one thing I've noticed is that all great games you can get for free through Google Play Store for the Android, there seems to be a charge for on the Apple App Store.

    Just Google list of Gameloft games & you can go from there.
    I hope this was helpful


    • mike Gilbert Dec 18, 2015 Link to comment

      I downloaded twp gameloft games after reading this and neither one works without a wifi or data connection lol


      • Lisa Johnson Dec 20, 2015 Link to comment

        Yeah sorry I wasn't more precise...after downloading the game it usually requires wifi to download additional data & then the game will run offline. I could be wrong though


  • Elijha Concepcion Nov 17, 2015 Link to comment

    I was very disappointed. mini warriors need an internet connection. can you tell me how can i play it offline and wheres the main campaign


  • Areej Syed Nov 16, 2015 Link to comment

    Really? Those are the best games on Android? I'd rather jump off a building than play certain games you've mentioned. Yeah sure some of em are good like Baldur's Gate... But where's Star Wars Kotor and the other classics. Most of those games are played by 12 year Olds who have all the time in the world.


  • Robert Lee Nov 15, 2015 Link to comment

    Great games for offline play!


  • Apolzan Marius Oct 3, 2015 Link to comment

    actually i am a guy that is looking for real guys games,and that means first of all good graphics,if that is not,the game is not worth it playing it,that for just a simple fact,i dunno how many around here have played games on the pc in MS DOS,and games on platforms that were be4 the ps and xbox craps? well to make my point,i would never play a game again with same graphic as all games that were back then,things and technology advance not to get stupidly stuck on same old games,r so many games with awsome graphics and real true games that exist and u guys never even mention them,so shame on u,i dunno if any1 know that pc game called Dead Space,it's an awsome game if u love the genre,well that game is on android too and it has same graphic as on pc,but with a different story line and types of actions,did u guys even heard of it ? probably not if u only give here stupid and extremely poor graphic quality games,even batman on android have astonishing graphics ... well,stay back in the 90s with this kind games,i will just pass by and say hi from the real gamers place

      Mmm... mm mm mm
      I am the universal bad grammer translator! I shall translate this for you all!
      **Actually I'm a guy that is looking for real guys games. That means good graphics. If not, the game is not worth playing. I dunno how many around here have played games on Pc in MS DOS and games on platforms that were before the PlayStation and Xbox consoles. My point is, I would never play a game again with same graphic as all the games were back then. Technology advances so we're not stupidly stuck on same old games. There are so many games with awsome graphics and real true games that exist and u guys never even mention them. So shame on you! I dunno if anyone knows the Pc game, Dead Space but it's an awesome game. That game is on android too and it has same graphic as on Pc but with a different story line and types of actions. Have you guys even heard of it? Probably not since here you only give stupid and extremely poor graphic quality games. Even Batman on android has astonishing graphics! Well stay back in the 90s with these games. I'll just pass by and say hi from the real gamers place.**

      Woo. That was a lot.
      Tips: °Don't rant about graphic quality.
      °You can't spell awesome but you can spell
      astonishing? Work on that.
      °For the love of God! Please!!! Spell check yourself. I could just barely understand you enough to translate.

        ooo,mister englis teacher,for your information,not everyone in this world got born in an english talking country,to do what u do is just showing how stupid u can be,english is my 3-rd language that i speak,so sorry if i do make mistakes in spelling,so don't hold your breath especially that are much more ppl that did born with that language and still don't talk right,it's not me to tell u about it,i am sure i met lots,at least i have an excuse,do you ? so pls shut up and look for your own business,maybe you didn't get it,but i am sure others did,pfff

        You sound slightly more ignorant than a russet potato my friend. As far as I can tell you're using some dialect or form of English that's barely discernible to people with educations but, granted, I have been wrong in the past. Might I suggest removing yourself from society by moving out into the mountains and living off the land like a turn of the century Klondiker? You clearly are not contributing in any meaningful way to the betterment of humanity and you're just embarrassing yourself and bringing down my property value as it stands.


      • philS Mar 16, 2016 Link to comment

        My English teacher used to say never use a long word when a short one will do. I add to that, unless you really want people to think you are pompous, arrogant, and up your own rectum

      I stick with the Universal Grammar Translator, And also, what phone are you freaking using if you want grapgics comparable to dedicated gaming machines at least ten times larger than your mobile phone?


    • Brandon Binczak Jan 30, 2016 Link to comment

      If you think it's graphics that make a good game, instead of actual content and gameplay, then your opinion means absolutely nothing. It's mindless sheep like you that consider themselves "real gamers" that are ruininght industry for everyone. You are the reason companies like EA and Ubisoft can continue pumping out shiny turd after shiny turd, and jackasses that only care about graphics just keep coughing up money. Grow up.


  • joost Sep 29, 2015 Link to comment

    hey man stop advertising monument valley! you make yourself unbelievable!

    it indeed is a beautifull app. but ...
    if you have read the comments (and there are a lot of reactions on the playstore) you should have mentioned it is without questioning the most highpriced game for the least amount of playing minutes.
    within an hour most people have played all levels.. and then the fun is gone.
    the story is very limited and
    there is no exitement or action involved
    it is not addictive...

    recently they added a free level... okay
    but still to a lot of people believe Monument Valley is am overpriced and overrated game!


  • Robin Scully Sep 28, 2015 Link to comment

    Thanks you for sharing these games. But I really love playing Minecraft, there is something in it that makes it more interesting and addicting to play.

    What about the Drawwiz?


  • Gonzalo Tapia Apr 28, 2015 Link to comment

    My favourite offline games are SNK titles... And all of them are free to play! Metal Slug Defense is simply AWESOME. Crazy Taxi (a SEGA classic) is f2p and offline, too.
    Bitcoin Billionaire is an addictive piece of crap. You'll love it and hate it. And then love it again.


  • Madars G Apr 24, 2015 Link to comment
