Best mobile games for casual play?

Try idle Heroes or epic Seven. 

Hi! Some of the games I’ve played and I’m playing with my mobile phone are: Hay Day, Gardenscapes, Clash of clans, Clash Royal, Among Us, Candy Crush Saga and Township! 

I try to stay away from mobile games now because they're a huge time sink when there are more narrative-based games to play, but back in the day (ahem, like a few years ago), I used to play Jetpack Joyride, the mobile version of PUBG, Temple Run 2, and of course Pokemon GO.

But the two I actually enjoyed the most were Shadow Fight 3 and Art of Conquest. Shadow Fight 3 was a remarkably well done fighting game, and Art of Conquest reminded me a lot of the Heroes of Might and Magic series, but with a slightly different (but still very fun) combat system. Those are my recs!

Give Vampire Survivors a try. It's not real time based doesn't have annoying p2w or even ads that you have to watch. 

It's not a new game, but if you enjoy match-three games, then Triple Town is a fun time killer. 

One that i'm weirdly addicted too (not a competitive game or anything) but a relaxing one called Water Sort Puzzle

Have you tried Pixel Dungeon (and it's countless fan-made modded versions)? It's a brilliant game, perfect for 5-10 minute sessions but plays as a solid roguelike game. Well worth trying, completely free too!

I played some Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2 a few years ago, I'm not fond of this genre of mobile games and their predatory tactics but I wanted to try it out because I like the series and gameplay wise it was a good variant of the formula I think all things considered, that said I don't know what state the game is in right now so I can't say if I recommend it but I did enjoy it and I never felt that mistreated despite not spending money on it.

Recently got into Marvel Snap. It's quite fun! At least until you get to Gold ranks, then it starts to get a bit tedious as people tend to have huge collections and better cards at that point. Despite that, it's good fun to kill some time with for an hour or two a week.

There's a game that hasn't been suggested yet and it's one of the funniest phone game I played with my friends back in high school, it's called bit-life and is starting to be pretty famous. You should definitely give it a try, it's well worth it and doesn't require a daily connection so that's always a plus when you don't have too much time for yourself. ;)
