Frequently asked questions
What is the best RPG on mobile?
Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions and Star Wars: KOTOR are the highest-rated, both genre-defining classics that play beautifully on modern phones. For an action RPG built natively for mobile, Oceanhorn 2 is the best pick.
Are there good offline RPGs on mobile?
Yes. Final Fantasy Tactics, KOTOR, Baldur's Gate, Oceanhorn 2, and Pascal's Wager all play completely offline with no internet required, making them ideal for travel.
Is Diablo Immortal worth playing?
The core combat and dungeon-running in Diablo Immortal is genuinely excellent and fully enjoyable free-to-play. The endgame is gated behind significant spending, which is why we score it lower than the gameplay alone would warrant.
