[Column] General: My Ten Favorite Mobile MMORPGs

SBFordSBFord Former Associate EditorMember LegendaryPosts: 33,129

Mobile MMOs have long been one of my favorite things. I love the fact that the games are portable; not really because I find myself out-and-about and in need of a gaming fix that often (I work out of my home, after all, so when I leave the house I leave it) but because I like the toy-ness of it all.

    I find it sad you missed some of the "real" mobile MMORPGs like Celtic Heroes and Order and Chaos.

    Surely the impressive level of polish in Order and Chaos and ability to actually feel like a full fledged PC MMO on mobile devices should have gotten it a spot! I know GameLoft games dont sit well with many people though.

    Albion Online should shake up mobile gaming a bit with cross platform play!

    Ya I have tested and played most Android MMOs and Celtic Heroes and Order and Chaos are by far the best I have played and only two that are still installed on my device.

    Haha, same here except iOS. What a let down Midgard Rising ended up being eh? I think they bit off waaaay more than they could chew. It's been years and still feels like an early beta test.

    Wellif they've got Clash of Clans on the list then I'll add Monster Legends. I actually tested it out when I was looking for pet trainer games for my kids, but actually enjoying it. Great way to kill 15 minutes at a time.

    Not sure why they are more real, but I think you are referring to the graphics.

    Yes, they are 3D and look nice, but O&C is not fun.

    Celtic Heroes I dug more and even covered it several times, but lost contact with it. I'll need to check back into it!

    Most Tablet, Phone games dont require teaming. Both O&C and CH require a good class mix to get content done. Most device MMOs are single player games you can play with people but dont require it.

    Actually Parallel Kingdom is one of all around best sandbox MMOs , any platform.

    Shame that they do not have cross playability with PC. I know it kind of beats the point of GPS gameplay - but that gameplay is more a gimmick than a real necessity for their game.

    I have yet to find any mobile MMO game worth the download.  You really cannot play them on a phone, well maybe on some of the large phones like the 6 plus, but on my iphone not a chance.  That means you have to have a tablet with you and wifi nearby which is usually not the case.

    Hence I stick to games on the PC.  Perhaps someday there will be a decent MMO app out there worth playing, but I have tried everyone you listed and some others and I have found them all wanting.

    They are more "real" as far as MMORPGs go because they have all the Classic elements of a theme park MMO.

    I think O&C is fun when I play it. But it requires much more time investment than most your mobile mmos.

    Terrible article written by a person who doesn't know what an mmo is.
