New Android games this month

Best Android strategy games
Frozen Synapse
Frozen Synapse was an indie PC classic long-before it hit Android, and what a game it is. Frozen Synapse is a squad-based, turn-based, tactical shooter which sees you take control of a small assault team to take down an enemy team in a single player campaign, or other players in multiplayer.
Don’t let the minimalist cyberpunk art deter you, Frozen Synapse brings a whole new dimension to turn-based strategy by having both turns occur simultaneously, leading to plenty of nervy encounters with complex decision-making and second-guessing. The multiplayer is some of the best you’ll find anywhere, on any platform. For 2.99 USD at the Play Store, it’s an absolute steal.
XCOM: Enemy Within
XCOM: Enemy Within is one of the best Android strategy games because it wasn't founded on free-to-play principles like many other popular strategy games from the Play Store. It was built to be enjoyed fully without any additional purchases.
This was an award-winning strategy title for PC long before it ever made its way to Android, so expect top-end graphics, but also a top-end Play Store price. We can assure you it is well worth the initial investment, though.
DomiNations
DomiNations might be fairly new on the Android scene but it has already amassed over a million downloads, and a high level of critical acclaim. Running somewhere between Clash of Clans and Civilization, DomiNations is a basebuilding game in which players take control of an entire nation “from the stone age to the space age” to explore, expand and conquer the world.
The level of strategy afforded by DomiNations is far beyond what is seen on most Android games. Should you spend money on building a stronger army, or plough it into researching a new technology at the library? DomiNations is filled with these minute-to-minute decisions which could chances of victory in your favor, as well as some sweeping battles to take part in. Free to Play and fresh, check it out in the Play Store.
Best Android action games
Brothers in Arms 3
The guys at Gameloft know how to make games for Android. With Asphalt 8, Modern Combat 5 andN.O.V.A 3 under its belt, a few things are guaranteed: high-production value and a free-to-play price structure. Brothers in Arms 3 might represent the best action game Gameloft released to date - it's a realistic third-person shooter in which you guide your character, Sergeant Wright, through a series of WWII settings, upgrading his weapons and abilities along the way.
The lighting, textures and sound are all fantastic, combining to create a strong atmosphere, pulling you into the action. Occasionally, however, in-app purchases will drag you out, but this is the "price you pay" for freely downloadable title.
The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead: Season One and The Walking Dead: Season Two, are a different kind of Android action game. What they like in high-octane thrills they more than make up for with strong story and These disturbingly awesome point-and-click adventure games will keep you freaked out and entertained at the same time. Did we mention zombies?
The World Ends With You
Originally released on the Nintendo DS in 2007, The World Ends With You made its way onto Android 7 years later in June 2014. Why was it brought out of the realms of relative obscurity and placed on the Play Store? Because it is fantastic.
Developed in part by the company responsible for Final Fantasy (Square Enix) this side-scrolling action game has elements of RPGs, rhythm games, card games and more. It also introduced a unique gameplay feature involving collectible pins in which wearing a certain pin in a certain district (the game is set in Tokyo) will give your character a certain buff, in accordance with the fashion in that area.
It’s smashing game with an art style that still holds up after seven years; let’s just hope the steep entry price (17.99 USD) doesn’t turn people off.
Best Android fighting games
Our current favorite: We've been playing WWE Immortals recently for an epic mix of fantasy and, well, almost reality, fusing the cast of Injustice: Gods Among Us with pro-wrestlers for some awesome silly fun. The graphics and animations are top-notch, and you can tag up to three characters for some thrilling three-on-three match-ups. Get ready to rumble.
If you're not a Triple H fan that's OK, because there are heaps and heaps of excellent fighting games to sink your teeth, fists and knees into. We've gone bare-knuckle on the best the Play Store has to offer and have crowned those titles worth fighting for. See what you're made of.
Best offline games
Our current favorite: Ridiculous Fishing is easily our favorite offline Android game. Mostly because it doesn't just stop at fishing for fish, but also blasting them with a whole arsenal of weaponry. No one ever said the fish had to get on your place in one piece, so bazookas are totally legitimate fishing tackle too. Cast away.

Our current favorite: One of the best Android puzzle games of all time is Monument Valley, highlighted on the Google Play Store as one of the best of 2014 and sitting at the top of basically every ''must play'' list of last year. For painterly beauty, mind-bending architectural geometry (think MC Escher), and clever puzzles that only get more difficult, be sure to check it out.

They're great for your morning commute, waiting at the Dr's office, or when you get dragged along shopping by your girlfriend. Sometimes brainless fun, and other times more complicated than you would think, puzzle games are just as essential as your phone itself. Check our our other favorites.
- Best Android racing games
Our current favorite: Asphalt 8: Airborne is one of the best Android racing games because it contains slick graphics combined with high-octane gameplay. Asphalt 8's focus is not on realism, but on lightning fast races in a variety of exotic locations, complete with stunts, boosts, car upgrades and more. It's a fantastic free-to-play racing experience, and one of the best on Android.

- Best Android card games
Our current favorite: Hearthstone Heroes of Warcraft is fairly new on the Android scene, but it's easily one of the best Android card games around. From the guys who brought you World of Warcraft, Starcraft, and the Diablo series, comes a fantastically addictive virtual card game that's so very easy to learn, but so very hard to master. Win new cards, improve your deck, play against AI controlled opponents or human players and move up the ranks in this free-to-play classic.
Card games go a lot further than WoW-style games though. There's everything available from Solitaire to Poker games to everybody's favorite, UNO. If you feel like a slightly more quaint Android game, be sure to take a look at our best card games list.
Best Android endless runner games
Our current favorite: From our list of the best endless runner games, we've plucked out our all-time favorite: Subway Surfers. The game has you dodging objects for as long as you can as you step into the role of a graffiti artist who has got the fuzz hot on his heels. Along the way, you collect power ups and coins, fly in the air and even ride a hoverboard. The game has great controls, awesome graphics and gameplay that will have you coming back for more and more. Just don't get caught.
Android endless runner games are one of the coolest genres around, because they are so simple to pick up and so hard to put down. Awesome titles like like Temple Run or JetPack Joyride are known by everybody, but we've delved deeper and plucked out some truly undiscovered gems for your playing enjoyment.
