2. Evoland
Evoland is not free. [Later I’ll also warn you in the beginning when the game is not free so that you could make your mind rightaway]. But it might worth spending some money. The game is super addictive and fun.

This is the basic idea, which makes the game stand out from the crowd, so to say. Apart from the little digital evolution, there are also other details, such as achievements, puzzles, going through dungeons, and more.

10. Knights of Pen and Paper + 1
NOT FREE. One more retro-style 2D app game. This one reminds a fairytale. Well, actually, most RPGs remind fairytales. Just a nice thought that came into my head. Even not fairytales, but rather comic books. No, it is certainly a mixture of both – fairytales + comic books.
You find yourself in some freaky environment like the Middle Ages and you got to train heroes and win the evil just like in good Marvel movies. Pardon me, if I’m wrong ’bout Marvel movies – I’m not a big fan of them.
Anyways, Knights of Pen and Paper + 1 is a classic RPG that makes you go through challenges, unlock cool stuff and, of course, kill the monsters.
You can travel through an amazing world of this game and store your adventures at the so-called Tavern. You can choose classes of your heroes, for example, mages or knights.

13. Dungeon Hunter 5
Dungeon Hunter 5 is an amazing action-RPG game with high-quality graphics and easy controls. The game looks great – it is beautiful, well-developed, just fine. It invites you to join a million army of bounty hunters to fight monsters, flying beasts, devil minions, and other ominous creatures. Why a million army? Because Dungeon Hunter is the most popular hack n’ slash game. The number of downloads is truly mad! And we think this is an indicator of quality.
The game gives you a lot of opportunities – as usual, you got to train heroes and unlock their powers in order to battle enemies with confidence; then, of course, the heroes need a place to rest, so it is your responsibility to build a stronghold or a fortress for them; the most important and the most exciting part is wars and battles when you gotta stand on two feet to defeat the evil. You can make your friends join you, which will make the game even more fun.

14. RPG Toram Online
Toram Online in one more popular RPG. But, unlike the previous one, it reminds more of a simulation game rather than action, although there are elements of both.

How cool is this?
There are battles, of course. By the way, you can hire other players’ heroes in order to fight for you. There’s a multiplayer mode as well. So, what is this all about? Well, I’ll tell ya.

Doesn’t it all sound exciting? Well, for us, it surely does! Let yourself explore this wonderful beautiful 3D world. All you need is to tap ‘install’ on the Google Play store!
