7 of 2019’s Best Game Apps for Adults

Did you know that people spend more money on mobile games than console games?

Sometimes you want a great game on the go. But, since there are thousands and thousands of apps on both app stores, finding a diamond in the rough can take time.

Not to worry, we’ve done the work for you!

If you’re looking for something good to download, make sure you check out our list of the best game apps for adults.

1. Modern Combat 5: eSports FPS

We’ll be the first to admit that the title of the latest Modern Combat entry is a jumbled mess. But if you can excuse the keyword-heavy title, you’ll find a surprisingly engaging game.

Published by Gameloft, Modern Combat is worth a download for fans of Call of Duty who want to score some killstreaks on the go.

While the game has plenty of microtransactions, none are particularly egregious, and you level up fast enough that your progress is rarely gated.

2. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

You probably know Bioware from the massively successful Mass Effect and Dragon Age franchises. But the company’s magnum opus is still KOTOR, as far as we’re concerned.

It took a fresh approach to combat, expanded on some of Star Wars’ most exciting lore, and gave players genuine agency. It wasn’t just a game — it was a game where you chose how every scenario played out.

If you’ve never experienced KOTOR, the mobile port is as good a place as any to jump in.

3. AdVenture Communist

AdVenture Communist is a spinoff of Kongregate’s idle game AdVenture Capitalist.

While it takes a decidedly cheekier tone than its predecessor, AdVenture Communist still contains all of the fun, number-crunching action of the original game.

Plus, it’s one of the only idle games with a definitive ending.

4. Mortal Kombat

So, you’re looking for really fun apps that appeal to your adult sensibilities.

How do you feel about ripping out someone’s beating heart? What about tossing opponents into pools of acid?

Mortal Kombat has always been an adult-oriented franchise, and the mobile port is no different.

With that said, don’t expect your Mortal Kombat 11 skills to transfer over. The game is quite a bit slower and focuses more on strategic strikes than all-out assaults.

And, yes, the brutalities and fatalities you know and love are still intact.

5. Pickleball Locator

When you’re finished maiming poor souls in Mortal Kombat, you might feel like getting out in the sunshine for a bit.

Pickleball Locator may not be a game in and of itself, but it’s your one-stop-shop for finding local games, learning the rules, and discovering Pickleball paddle secrets.

6. Stardew Valley

If you grew up in the 90s, you might remember a series of farming games called Harvest Moon. These quaint, relaxing games allowed you to build a life and plant your agricultural flag in the ground.

But, some decades later, the Harvest Moon games are more or less gone.

Fortunately, the spirit of Harvest Moon survives in Stardew Valley.

Originally designed as a loving homage to Harvest Moon, Stardew has taken on a life of its own. You can farm, flirt, mine, or even sell your soul to the megacorporation threatening to take over the town.

Stardew Valley is, without a doubt, one of the most addicting games on the app store.

7. Friday the 13th: Killer Puzzle

It’s a little ironic that a franchise about mindless killing is now the wrapping of a complex puzzle game. But Killer Puzzle is a solid addition to gamers’ phones nonetheless.

One-part sliding puzzle, one-part horror game, Killer Puzzle is a fun, silly game that horror fans and puzzle enthusiasts alike will dig.
