Our Pick
AdventureQuest 3D MMO RPG
4.4 Ratings 80K+ Reviews 1M+ DownloadsThis MMORPG is a little bit different... you’ve been warned. Adventure Quest 3D is a growing online world where you can be anyone or anything you want. Battle monsters as a Mage. Change Classes anytime. Craft items, swords, and fidget spinners. Fish with friends. Or crush ‘em all in 5v5 PvP. Adopt a weird looking cat called a Moglin. And explore the vast open world as… a bush. AQ3D is pretty much the metaverse before the metaverse was a thing.
Epic quests of adventure… and some really strange stuff… await thee in Adventure Quest 3D!
SORCERER GENERAL'S WARNING
This game is ONLY for fans of fantasy MMO open world games, passionately involved game developers, and heroes who wandered here by mistake but downloaded AdventureQuest and loved it anyway. May contain Artix’s unpredictable tongue-in-cheek humor, parody, puns, memes, dad jokes, and oddly-fused monsters (Werepyres?). AQ3D is so casually hard core that there is a 99% chance you will die before the game even begins. But maybe you'll get lucky and DEATH (aka The Grim Reaper) will make you a deal you can't refuse. Seems legit. Probably safe.

The 411 from our Appventurer
How we tested?
I began by searching for the highest-rated and most popular MMORPG on the market and once I found them, I downloaded the top 7 onto my phone. I then set aside an hour a day, over the next 10 days, to play and test these games.
There were certain things that I was looking for to help me with this and as I played each one I kept that in mind to make sure I was being fair with my rankings and not just selecting the games that I know are popular.
These were things such as how fun the games were to play, how easy/difficult they were, and how user-friendly I found the games.
I wanted to know if they were suitable for newbies as well as established gamers, I focussed on the overall design, animation, and graphics of the game and I also paid attention to the format and structure of the games, including the storylines and the character development.
Finally, I tracked how much of a commitment these games would be to play. MMORPG are popular on PC but I wanted to see if they would transfer as easily over to a mobile phone.
With all of this in mind, I played each game, and using the criteria, I was able to come to a fair decision on which games deserved to come out on top and which games fell short.
Why get the app?
If you’re a fan of MMORPG games then getting a mobile app is the natural next step for you as it gives you the chance to play the games and dive into the universe without needing to spend hours at a time glued to your screen.
Whether you’ve got 10 minutes or 90 minutes to spare, when you play on mobile, you’re able to get your fix even if you’ve only got a few minutes available and you can also play wherever you get signal, which means even if you’re not at home, you can still enjoy yourself.
Mobile gaming is super convenient and a fun way to keep yourself occupied when you travel on when you’re on break, so if you’re a fan of MMORPG you should consider getting the app version of your favorite games.
More About AdventureQuest 3D MMO RPG: Our Pick
AdventureQuest 3D is an absolutely fantastic MMORPG that’s full of humor and personality. It's clear to us that the developers have put a lot of care and thought into this game, and that’s why we love it. It isn’t just a rip-off of other games out there; AdventureQuest 3D is its own, unique game.
You can tell from the moment you open the app. You’re met by a well-designed home screen where you can get to work creating your character and you’ll see a range of customization options, which far outweighed most of the other games we tested, which means you can start the game with someone that looks like you (or in whatever image you want).
As you begin the game you’ll notice the fantasy vibe and If you’re into fantasy you’ll love this game, but the great thing is, even if you’re not, you’ll still love it. There are so many quests to play through and the gameplay is really engaging, so expect to lose yourself in this game and quickly find yourself becoming addicted.
You’ll find the controls extremely easy to use and the fighting moves are simple to master, which makes all the difference as you quickly get into the game and start to make progress. It also means whether you’re a newbie or an experienced gamer, you’ll find this game easy to play.
There’s an enthralling story that commands your attention and leads your actions through the game and there are plenty of great character interactions to be had along the way and great graphics too. They’ve done a great job of bringing the game to life and it’s certainly appreciated as you fight the bosses and explore the world.
We should also mention one of the standout features of this game is that it isn’t pay-to-win.
There are in-app purchases available, varying from $1.99-$49.99, but these are more for customizations and other character upgrades so if you don’t want to spend any money, you don’t have to, meaning you can play and progress in this game for free.
Snags but not drags:
We really enjoyed everything about this game. The format, animation, graphics, and overall gameplay were all great, however, if there was one thing we would look to improve, it would be to include a more traditional map.
At the moment there’s a small arrow that shows you the direction but a map would make it easier to figure out where to go on the quests. It wasn’t a major issue and once you figure out how the directional arrow system works you can move through the game pretty comfortably, but there were times when we didn’t really know where to go or who we should be speaking with. This did make it difficult to complete certain tasks and on occasion, it took us longer than we would have liked to figure out where to go or what to do next.
This isn’t a huge deal-breaker and you can still enjoy the game, we just think the game would benefit from having a clearer, and more detailed in-game map.
More About Forsaken World: Runner Up
Set in the huge online open-world of Calindor, Forsaken World is another great fantasy-themed game that you will love if you want a more relaxing gaming experience.
The game itself is great. The characters, animation, and graphics are all fantastic and everything looks amazing, which you’ll appreciate more because of the open-world nature of the game and the beautiful scenery you’ll get to explore.
The world is huge, and playing the game is very simple. The controls are easy to use and the actions are straightforward to pick up, however, it does contain an auto-play feature that keeps moving through the game on auto-pilot.
This can be irritating if you like to be in control of everything or quite handy if you don’t have a tonne of time to grind your way through the game and want to progress faster but we found it to be quite enjoyable as our character navigated the world and we didn’t have to spend a tonne of time trying to figure out what to do next or how to defeat an enemy.
We also think this will make it more appealing to less experienced players, as it allows them to play an engaging MMORPG (possibly for the first time) without getting lost or stuck in the game.
We personally enjoyed the faster pacing, as it kept the game moving along at a much faster speed and stopped us from getting bored.
If there was anything we’d like to see improved upon in this game it would be the natural resources, which run out at a certain level meaning you will have to spend some money to continue, but also we’d appreciate the option to turn the auto-play off in some battles because although it was fun to see and play the game this way, sometimes you just want to complete the sword fight yourself.
Overall, this is a great game that you’ll get hours of enjoyment from.
More About Aura Kingdom 2: Also Groovy
The graphics are fantastic, which is what you’d expect from a game that features such a rich and colorful backstory, and you truly do appreciate it as you progress through the game and find yourself in different battles against all types of foes.
It’s also extremely easy to play. Not only are the buttons very easy to pick up, but it also has auto-play, which allows you to sit back and watch the action, or speed through parts of the game when you’re in a rush.
Although AK2 is a free-to-play game, we feel we should also mention that it is pay-to-win. That doesn’t mean you can’t succeed without spending money and it certainly doesn’t mean you should avoid the game, we just want to make you aware beforehand.
There are a lot of great features in this game including the option to team up with other players (or compete against them in duels) and there are 4 great classes to choose from, depending on how you want to play.
Other Apps Considered
We felt that the problems we encountered in RuneScape (old school) were fixed in this game and the more modern approach certainly worked, however, we still felt that there was just too much in this game for it to work on mobile.
We’re still not huge fans of the camera angle or the general gameplay and we feel that overall this game just fell short of what we were expecting
Decent game but the camera angle doesn't do Arcane Legends any favors.
You can move your character forward, but you can't rotate the view, which makes the gameplay feel off. It's a shame, because this game is pretty good and we loved the design and characters, but we can't put this game in our top 3 until it improves the gameplay.
Idle Heroes is a decent game but we couldn’t really get into it. The game is very busy and has a lot of information to process, which doesn’t fit well when you’re looking for a relaxing gaming experience. We also found that it was pay-to-win, which made it hard to compete with anyone that has spent money on this game, which immediately removes the fun of playing the game.
Unfortunately, I was unable to download this game and test it fully as it didn't work, which is a shame because I was looking forward to testing it. I hope I get a chance to test this game in the future.

As a freelancer, I use all types of different apps so that I can manage my time and remain organized with ease. I’m always on the go so I love anything that can help me to stay on top of my tasks but for fun, I love playing games or watching movies.
I’m a huge sports fan so I’ll usually be checking the latest scores or following up on my teams and I also like to expand my mind with audiobooks and podcasts. Using apps allows me to get through so much more in a typical day that I simply wouldn’t be able to cover otherwise and I love it.
Being able to write about apps is pretty great as I get to research the best apps out there and find the hidden gems that people may not know about then share that information to help others discover their new favorite apps.
