Strategy has been one of the most popular genres in gaming for decades. With the advent of smartphones, people have been able to take their favorite titles with them wherever they go. Here are a few of the most popular strategy games on Android. Enjoy.

If you play online poker and want to improve, or you want the chance to win real money, then there is no need to look any further. There are also multiple tournaments available for you to join, as well as daily bonuses and the option to play up to four games at once. This app is your one-stop shop for all your mobile poker needs.
Bloons TD 6
Bloons TD 6 is a tower defense strategy game with a reputation for being equal parts fun and frustrating. Using a vast array of monkeys and towers with different weapons and abilities, you must stop the waves of balloons trying to get to the end of the map.
While simple on the surface, this game requires a strategic outlook, “monkey management,” and the ability to see a few steps ahead so you are always prepared. It is challenging but highly addictive and a must for strategy lovers.
Mini Metro
Mini Metro has taken the mobile gaming world by storm over the past few months. The goal is super simple: create an efficient underground metro system in an ever-expanding city. Sounds easy, right?
The challenge comes in when random stations are spawned on the map, with passengers needing to get to specific places. You then must ensure you get them to their destination without disrupting others. The beautiful and minimalist graphics mixed with the ultra-addictive gameplay have set Mini Metro apart in the space.
Clash Royale
Clash Royale has been one of the biggest strategy games since its release. Combining the characters and abilities of Clash of Clans with a tower defense-style game allows you to take on opponents to see who can destroy the other’s towers first.
You can create a deck of four characters or abilities and unlock chests to add more characters to your arsenal or unlock new ones. Games are high-paced, require a lot of skill and just as much luck, and will have you glued to your screen for longer than you will be willing to admit.
Clash of Clans
Clash of Clans (CoC) is arguably the biggest mobile strategy game ever created. Your task is to create a base that can stop enemies from destroying it while making an army you can use for your own base-raiding purposes.
You can join a clan for large-scale battles, participate in events, and continue to upgrade your base and soldiers. Many think CoC is one of the most strategy-heavy mobile games out there, and while it takes ages to master, there isn’t a moment when you won’t be having a ton of fun.
Worms W.M.D: Mobilize
Worms is another classic in the strategy genre, and Mobilize is the newest version, taking mobile gaming by storm. Not only do you get the gameplay we all know and love, but a plethora of new features have been added to take the game to new heights.
The turn-based game sees you trying to outsmart and outmaneuver your opponent, stopping them from wiping your worms off the map while trying to defeat them. The cartoon-like graphics and a wide variety of gameplay and game-style options make Mobilize a must-download title.
Bad North
Don’t let the simple and minimalist design of Bad North fool you; this tactical strategy game will put all of your army and soldier management skills to the test. You only have one goal: defend your people against the onslaught of Viking attacks on your homeland.
The game features a variety of maps that all have different terrain, and therefore, each needs its own game plan. Bad North is easy to pick up and understand, but you will spend ages trying to perfect your tactics.
The Battle of Polytopia
Combining Sid Meier’s Civilization with the graphics of Stardew Valley or Minecraft, you get The Battle of Polytopia. This quirky but beautiful game sees you create and manage your empire while defending against attackers and defeating your enemies.
The turn-based gameplay adds another level of strategy, and with multiple routes available thanks to a variety of civilizations available, no two playthroughs are the same. The Battle of Polytopia is still easily one of the most underrated games you can get for Android.
Which Game Is Calling Your Name?
Android has a massive selection of incredible games, and the strategy titles it offers are comparable to some PC and console games. These are only a handful of the best, but there are many more for you to discover — which will you try first?
