Gaming on mobile devices gets better every year. The most enjoyable games tend to be RPG-based games. They offer hours of gameplay, great stories, character customization, and deep combat and mechanics. If that's what you're looking for, here are the best RPGs for mobile you can play right now.

What Are the Best Mobile RPG Games? 2022

Diablo Immortal

Our first pick is Diablo Immortal, and it impressed us. Bite-sized quests and events make it a pleasure to play on the go without sacrificing anything from the full experience, including a deep endgame, a long campaign, and full voice acting. Fans of the PC games will feel right at home instantly, and the game never feels too repetitive. Enjoy striking maps from a top-down perspective, pick a class that suits your playstyle, use your unique skills to wipe out gangs of enemies, and collect a ton of loot. In terms of gameplay, it's very similar to Diablo 3, though the fact that you don't need resources to use your skills is different — instead, resources work through short cooldowns, which pushes faster-paced combat to the forefront. There is one downside, and that's the heavy microtransactions, which can end up feeling like a requirement for some players. Still, it's worth giving Diablo Immortal a chance, especially if you're already a fan of the franchise.

Another Eden

Another Eden brings back the days of old-school JRPGs, though the gacha mechanics get tiresome at times. With a sweeping story from veteran writer Masato Kato and an original score from composer Mitsuda Yasunori (both famed for their work on the Xenogears/Chrono series), this is a massive game you'll find yourself losing plenty of time to. Play as Aldo, who lives peacefully with his sister Feinne and their adoptive grandfather. When Feinne is kidnapped by the Beast King, you must set out on a quest to save her, but you'll find yourself pulled into an adventure that spans time and space. It's possible to enjoy Another Eden without engaging with the gacha element, but you'll still spend plenty of time powering up your characters and progressing the story — no bad thing if that's what you enjoy. The turn-based battles will feel quite familiar to fans of the genre, you'll meet a cast of lovable characters along the way, and you'll collect and spend Chrono Stones to level up your characters. For fans of traditional JRPGs, Another Eden checks a lot of boxes.

Vampire’s Fall: Origins

This free-to-play 2D RPG features turn-based combat and an art style reminiscent of Diablo 3. You play as a militia recruit preparing to defend the village of Vamp'Ire against the threat of the Witchmaster, an entity of dark magic. With fully customizable characters and a vast world to explore, you get the chance to choose your lineage, shape outcomes through dialogue choices, and collect more than 150 pieces of weapons and armor. Oh, and there's an immersive story to keep you hooked, too. There's even in-game chat and PvP battles.

Oceanhorn 2

Oceanhorn was a popular RPG when it launched on iOS, but the next game improves on the original concept in almost every way. In fact, this is a prequel set thousands of years before the first game, so you don't need to have played the first one to enjoy this entry. You play as a young knight traveling through the land of Gaia to defeat the Warlock Mesmeroth. The game is packed with puzzles, quests, and a main story that runs over 20 hours. It's also one of the most beautiful iOS games available right now. Oceanhorn 2 alone makes an Apple Arcade subscription worth it.

Battle Chasers: Nightwar

Battle Chasers: Nightwar draws inspiration from classic RPGs of years past, but thanks to its solid story and fantastic art design, the game has a sense of identity all its own. Players take control of Gully, a young girl searching for her missing father. Five possible allies join her as she explores dungeons and fights in Final Fantasy-style turn-based combat. The game features randomly generated dungeons, so every playthrough is always unique and different. Battle Chasers also has a deep crafting system for all your gear. Even years after its release, the game is still a lot of fun to play. It has everything an RPG player could want, and that's why it makes this list.
