The massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) genre is for gamers who love forming parties, joining guilds, trading with other players, and banding together to defeat tough foes.
And in today’s pocket-size gaming landscape, we’ve rounded up a selection of the best mobile MMORPGs that you can enjoy anytime and anywhere—as long as you have a smart device and online connectivity on hand, of course!
Ragnarok X: Next Generation
Ragnarok has gone through a few mobile ports, including Ragnarok M: Eternal Love. But its latest installment is Ragnarok X: Next Generation, a game that takes the well-loved PC version into the mobile sphere. Available for iOS and Android, this game offers unlimited stamina, six starting classes, and the essential auto-play system for all the busybodies out there.
RuneScape
The web-based MMORPG is now on iOS and Android! RuneScape allows you to choose your own adventure—whether you prefer to focus on leveling up your Skills, questing, getting your serious game on in a player-versus-player (PvP) battle royale, or filling your pockets in the Grand Exchange. The game is also cross-playable with PC, so you can continue playing where you left off.
Sprite Fantasia
This MMORPG is a sequel to Grand Fantasia and stands out for its darling 3D graphics, open-world gameplay, iOS and Android compatibility, and the adorable Sprites that accompany you on your journey across a fairy-tale world. Choose from four different classes and go to battle with the help of Grand Messengers on your team. But don’t sweat—Sprite Fantasia offers a relaxing journey that casual gamers can enjoy.
Maplestory M
Maplestory is a classic 2D side-scrolling MMORPG, and while its flagship PC version is still going strong, developer Nexon has also ported most of the original game to iOS and Android. With an expanding cast of Classes, auto-play functions, a sophisticated Equipment Enhancement system, and an array of bossing opportunities, you can now experience the Maple World from the comfort of your mobile device.
Albion Online
Albion Online is another familiar name to MMORPG fans for its non-linear gameplay, which means that you can choose your own adventure. It’s similar to RuneScape but with smoother graphics. You can enjoy Classless character customization, a completely player-driven economy, and robust guild and party-play mechanics to help you find a community to belong to. Most importantly, Albion Online is cross-playable between iOS, Android, and PC.
