Making\u00a0games for touch gadgets\u00a0has been somewhat of an excursion for the video game industry. It wasn\u2019t generally clear what sorts of games or control schemes made sense, and adjusting existing genres has produced mixed results. Yet, one genre had little to no trouble in adapting to this brave new touchworld \u2013 adventure games. Their distinctive suitability stems from the fact that there\u2019s almost no variance between point\u2019n\u2019click and\u00a0touch\u2019n\u2019click controls.<\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

Here we present some of the best adventure games for Android (in no particular order). The choice includes classic games given another shiny coating, modern point\u2019n\u2019clicks that feel natural on the Android platform, and a few noteworthy mobile-first titles.<\/p>\n

Top 5 Adventure Games for Android<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The Last Express<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The Last Express<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nobody could blame you if you didn\u2019t mention The Last Express as one of the classic point\u2019n\u2019click adventures. Upon its unique release in 1997,\u00a0it collected extraordinary reviews, but sold unwell. Br\u00f8derbund, the company that issued it, gave it virtually no marketing effort because of financial difficulties.<\/p>\n

The Last Express has since gone through better days \u2013 initial a digital re-release in 2011 and then an iOS\/Android improved port in 2013. There\u2019s even talk of a movie, to be directed by Paul Verhoeven. He described it as a mix between Indiana Jones and Hitchcock, and that seems to be accurate.<\/p>\n

The game is set in 1914, a couple of days before the start of World War I. It takes place in a train \u2013 the Orient Express \u2013 which would in actuality soon be suspended. An American doctor (your character) is required by the French police for the murder of an Irish officer. And the internationality doesn\u2019t stop there \u2013 there\u2019s also a German industrialist, a Russian nobleman, a Serbian military officer, an Austrian-Jewish violinist and others,\u00a0representing a cross-section of the players in the upcoming conflict.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s definitely a rich background for a killing mystery, however that\u2019s not the only interesting thing about it. The Last Express is non-linear, with numerous endings and a (compressed) real-time experience. Include to this a charming, art nouveau look (accomplished through rotoscoping) and you get an extraordinary welcome addition to that list of classic point\u2019n\u2019clicks.<\/p>\n

Grim Fandango Remastered<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Grim Fandango Remastered<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Unlike The Last Express, Grim Fandango was never \u201cforgotten\u201d or considered \u201cminor\u201d. Back in 1998, it was greeted as however one more triumph from LucasArts, a\u00a0company that produced almost nothing however triumphs when it came to adventure games. Grim Fandango did away with the point\u2019n\u2019click method \u2013 it was 3D, and the player controlled the character\u2019s movement with the keyboard (or gamepad\u2026too bad they did not release it on consoles at the time). So it was a major success, right? Alas, no, it shared the same financial fate as The Last Express.<\/p>\n

Despite that, it\u2019s still a much-loved game, and 2015 saw a remastered Grim Fandango hit the land of the living. I mention this because the game itself is set in the Land of the Dead, a mix between Aztec afterlife and film noir. It\u2019s another visually striking game. The calaca-inspired character designs and environments in the style of Art Deco earned it a lot of praise.<\/p>\n

You play as Manny Calavera, a travel agent at the Department of Death. Your job is to guide souls to their final destination, the\u00a0Ninth Underworld. You are frustrated by your customers, however then a dame seems. She needs protection from dastardly plots by your agency and the criminal underworld. If you are getting a film noir vibe from this, you are right \u2013 its influence is felt most strongly in the plot and dialogue.<\/p>\n

The Android port did n0t drastically change anything, though the textures and character models are of a higher quality, and they added a director\u2019s commentary, which is expected to please most fans \u2013 both present and future.<\/p>\n

80 Days<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

80 Days<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You may have heard of 80 Days even if you are not into gaming. Notice I did not say \u201cmobile gaming\u201d or something as specific as \u201cadventure games\u201d, but gaming in general. It was TIME\u2019s Game of the Year 2014, after all. New York Times also praised it as a sign that the future of interactive storytelling\u00a0has arrived. So, what is this game? A retelling of the Jules Verne classic with a \u201csteampunk twist\u201d. Otherwise, it\u2019s interactive fiction done right.<\/p>\n

Phileas Fogg, your employer, has wagered he can traverse the globe in 80 days. As his truthful servant, Passepartout, your task is to support him navigate via all the danger and adventure, all in a timely manner. The story unfolds through a series of choices with various consequences, providing some replay value. In other words, you will have more than one chance to enjoy the stylish graphics and numerous locations and characters.<\/p>\n

The Wolf Among Us<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The Wolf Among Us<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

TellTale Games have engraved out their little niche in adventure games, and there is no sign of stopping. If you have played any of their games, you know what to expect, as far as the game play goes. As for the story, The Wolf Among Us is set in the Fables world, a rich and exciting setting.<\/p>\n

The premise is that numerous mythical creatures (fables) have escaped to our world, and live in Fabletown. The player accepts the role of Bigby Wolf (the Big Bad Wolf), who is charged with protecting and hiding this community from unwanted attention, as well as enforcing its laws in his capacity as sheriff.<\/p>\n

There are five episodes in the first season, and the first one is available for free. If you own an old or under powered phone\u00a0this game might not work, or you may experience frequent cracks, so we highly recommend you attempt it before purchasing it.<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Episode 1 is\u00a0free on Google Play Store<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

Detective Grimoire<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Detective Grimoire<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Among the games on this list, Detective Grimoire might be the most casual title. It\u2019s short, lacks difficult puzzles, and there are no timed options. But, that\u2019s not to say it\u2019s a bad game. It\u2019s highly polished, the interface makes flawless sense for cell phones, and it possesses a quirky\u00a0charm.<\/p>\n

You play as the titular detective whose goal is to solve a murder mystery in a \u201ctourist attraction\u201d located in a remote swampland. You are not also pleased with that. What\u2019s worse, your primary suspect is a cryptid.<\/p>\n

The game play consists of gathering clues on every screen, and making the occasional connection between characters, actions and objects. Just like the real thing!<\/p>\n
