10 Must-Play Mobile Games for 2025

Looking for something fresh on mobile this year? Below are 10 games we think you need on your radar. Some have just landed, others are around the corner, but each one brings something interesting. Whether you prefer a brutal dungeon crawl, a fast-paced shooter, or a full-blown action RPG, there’s plenty here to keep your thumbs busy.

1. Dark and Darker Mobile

Release: February 5 (iOS)

If you crave hardcore action RPGs with a throwback feel, this might be your pick. Dark and Darker Mobile leans on classic dungeon-crawling where death means you lose your hard-earned gear. Steep risk, high reward. The slower combat may split opinions, but fans of old-school challenge should give it a shot. Plus, there's a strong player-vs-environment and player-vs-player blend, so it keeps you on your toes.

2. Dredge

Release: Out now (Mobile & Steam)

Yes, this is a fishing game. But it’s not your ordinary relaxing day on the dock. Dredge sprinkles in eerie monsters and unsettling vibes. One minute you’re peacefully fishing, the next you’re fending off nightmares. If you’re up for spooky twists in an otherwise mellow setting, you’ll want to see if it reels you in.

3. DC Dark Legion

Release: March 14

Superhero collector meets strategy. DC Dark Legion is basically all your favorite DC icons thrown into a turn-based environment. Develop a base, gather your favorite heroes, and level them up individually. If the idea of unlocking Batman or Wonder Woman in a streamlined mobile setting intrigues you, it’s worth checking out.

4. Crash Lands 2

Release: April 10

Building on the wacky spirit of the first Crash Lands, this sequel is about exploring, crafting, and getting into trouble on bizarre planets. If you enjoy a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor in your survival RPGs, Crash Lands 2 has you covered. Trailers hint at new zones, fresh materials, and a bigger storyline—though details are still trickling out.

5. Delta Force

Release: April 24

Shooters are everywhere, but Delta Force hopes to stand out with cross-platform play and a nod to classic tactical warfare. Early buzz suggests it feels bigger and more chaotic than many mobile shooters. If you’ve grown tired of the same old lobbies, this might fill that gap. Expect loads of multiplayer modes and plenty of well-known shooter streamers jumping in.

6. The Division Resurgence

Release: April (Exact date TBA)

Third-person action meets tactical play in a new entry of Ubisoft’s popular Division series. While it’s easy to compare it to Delta Force, The Division Resurgence aims for more objective-based tasks with factions and gear-driven firefights. Think a mix of gritty city combat and co-op missions, all wrapped in the familiar Tom Clancy universe.

7. Once Human

Release: April (Exact date TBA)

Another third-person shooter, but with a survival angle. Once Human challenges you to scavenge, craft, build up your base, and fend off nasties in a twisted post-apocalyptic world. If you like mixing shooter mechanics with time-consuming base-building, keep an eye on this NetEase project. Early testers say it’s immersive, though you’ll need decent aim and plenty of patience.

8. Command & Conquer Legions

Release: May

The legendary Command & Conquer brand returns to mobile strategy. Prepare to construct bases, gather resources, and outwit foes. It’s not a reinvention of the wheel, but longtime fans may enjoy the nostalgia factor. Critics worry about possible heavy monetization, so we’ll see if it strikes a fair balance once it’s live.

9. MoCo (Supercell)

Release: Mid-2025 (No fixed date)

Cyberpunk flair meets bite-sized dungeon runs. MoCo is Supercell’s spin on an action RPG, focusing on three-to-five-minute missions you can tackle solo or in a team. Battles feature dynamic levels and tough bosses, with gear upgrades back at your futuristic apartment. Supercell claims monetization will be strictly cosmetic, so there’s a chance it ends up more player-friendly than other free-to-play experiences.

10. God Forge

Release: Beta sign-ups open now

From the minds of seasoned RPG creators, God Forge aims to be a friendlier take on the “hero collector” formula. Expect a broad cast of mythical gods—from Egyptian rulers to Norse legends—plus a team that promises fewer paywalls. If you’ve been hooked on gacha games before, keep this on your wish list. The developer’s focus on community input and fair systems could make it stand out.

Bonus: Supercell’s Mysterious “Boat Game”

Not much is known about this wacky naval shooter, but it’s making waves inside Supercell. Rumor has it the staff can’t put it down. Keep your eyes peeled for news on this surprise contender that might steal the show for fans of quick, squad-based mayhem.

Which Game Tops Our List?

It’s tough to pick just one. If you like punishing, old-fashioned loot hunts, Dark and Darker Mobile is fantastic. For fans of strategy and open-ended collecting, God Forge stands out. And if you need that big adrenaline shooter, Delta Force has the inside track. Decide what fits your style, try a few, and see which one sticks.
