5 best mobile MMOs and MMORPGs

Do you remember the good old days when you came home from school and played online with your friends? We lived in simpler times where it didn’t matter how much your computer cost because back then the graphics weren’t the best. Now, we’re in a time where you can leave your computer at home and pull out your phone to play some pretty awesome MMORPGs. When Runescape announced it would go mobile, veterans lost their minds. Our list is made up of controversial games because your favorite MMO might not be our favorite MMO. Here are the top 5 best mobile MMOs and MMORPGs.

Best Mobile MMOs and MMORPGs

The best MMOs and MMORPGs are up for debate because a game can be someone’s least favorite. At least we can all agree that Diablo Immortal won’t be on this list. The games we focus on continue to have a loyal fanbase, feature regular updates, and have a great overall story. We like to play games where there is some consistency. If you don’t see your favorite game here, don’t worry, your game is still great. We just have different tastes. Here are the five best MMOs and MMORPGs you can play on your iPhone or Android.

1. Runesscape

RuneScape will always be the OG. It’s a game that’s been around as long as World of Warcraft. There was a huge divide between WOW gamers and RS gamers. The majority of people who have played Runescape searched for it because it was a cheaper alternative to World of Warcraft. Whatever your reasons, you can agree that once you start RuneScape, you’ll never stop. There are still players from 2007 who come back to it from time to time. When Jagex announced it was going to be a mobile game in 2018, everyone was curious how it would work. Luckily, the game is exactly as if you were to play it on your computer. With releases like Old School RuneScape, you can immerse yourself in a world you once enjoyed as a teenager. Play as someone who wants to fight in PVP or do quests and skills to earn capes. Whichever path you choose is up to you.

2. Fantasy Tower

Tower of Fantasy is rumored to be the next Genshin Impact. This game is set in the year 2658 and you can create an avatar as you wish. Unlike Genshin where you have a defined character, in this game you can create a character with tons of possibilities. Character creation became so popular because you could recreate cartoons, video games, and popular characters. We’ve even created a list of the best Tower of Fantasy presets you could find and use. Travel the world of Aida and kill monsters, complete quests and earn cool weapons. It’s definitely a fun game to play with the many activities you can take part in and the ruins you can explore. If you like how Genshin Impact has implemented its wish system where you can try to get lucky rolling for a five-star character, you’ll like Tower of Fantasy, which does much the same thing.

3. Ni No Kuni: Crossing Worlds

Fans of Ni No Kuni franchise should immediately download this game to play on their phone. It has faithful cutscenes and the voice acting is beautifully done. There is a lot to do in this game where you can roll for monsters to join your party, own your own plot of land to grow crops, and go on lots of quests. The world bosses you have to face can be difficult unless you find a group to help take them down. With so much to do in Ni No Kuni, it’s no wonder this game is on our list of our favorite MMOs. We also love that it’s story-driven, so you’ll be entertained for hours as you sift through the dialogue and find out how you ended up in this world.

3. Genshin Impact

Honestly, we prefer playing Genshin Impact on our console or PC, but if you wanted to play Genshin Impact on your phone, you definitely can. Is Genshin an MMORPG? Absolutely not, but it does contain some elements of an MMO. You can play with others online but it’s not an MMORPG. Genshin Impact is an action role-playing game with an open world that has an amazing story. You play as a traveler with the faithful Paimon as your companion. As you progress through the story, you will encounter a wide variety of characters who can join your party. Of course, the majority of them have to roll for them through a gacha system. We’re adding it to the list because it has multiplayer capabilities and is very popular to play.

4. Lineage 2: Revolution

MMOs are popular because of character creation and how you want to play. In Lineage 2, you can choose a class ranging from Elf, Dark Elf, Human, Dwarf, and Orc. After creating your character, you can choose a class, go on quests, and join other games to take down monsters. With the majority of MMO games there is a grind feature where you have to kill a group of monsters to gain experience. The reason this game made it to our list is because it has a loyal fan base that follows the Lineage franchise. With over 30 million players, you can meet interesting players and follow a great story set 100 years before the PC prequel.

5. 3D Adventure Quest

Do you like to play comfortable games? Adventure Quest 3D is an MMO for gamers who prefer a casual way to play. Instead of dealing with PvP, you can enjoy a fun questline, meet other characters, and it’s a great game to play if you’re just starting your MMO journey. Many people say this is a game where you can pause, come back and play without worrying about missing events. If you want to introduce your kids to MMO games, you can try showing them this game. The storyline is simple, casual and easy to understand.
