Here are IGN's nominees for Best Mobile Game of 2016. We'll announce our winner in January, but our opinion isn't the only one that matters — cast your vote in the poll at the bottom of the page to help decide the IGN People's Choice winner!
From IGN's Review: "The Banner Saga 2 doesn't change much of the experience that made the original such a well-loved surprise two years ago, and that's a good thing. The improvements may be small, but they're also substantial: the new combat units, the introduction of a second caravan story to follow, and the obstacles in the battlefield add up nicely. While beautifully written and populated with memorable characters and twists, the story does slightly suffer from a case of the "middle episodes" that may leave you eager for more. On the bright side, we know that more is on the way in a third and final installment."
With Clash Royale, developer Supercell finally cracked the code on how to make addictive, highly competitive realtime strategy work on mobile. It's fun, it's deep, it's fair, and yet it always remains accessible. A home run.
From IGN's Review: "Almost every level of Deus Ex Go delivers a confounding but ultimately rewarding puzzle worth solving. Though the world around those puzzles is relatively empty and replay potential is limited, Square Enix Montreal has mixed a healthy stealth and hacking focus with a bit of action to create a clever and, at times, truly testing set of brain teasers."
It might sound impossible, but in Mini Metro you can make a functioning subway system for the city of London using just a few lines, train carriages, and tunnels. The game's simple controls, steady city growth, and abstract subway-map aesthetic make it simple for anyone to pick up and play. It's a near-perfect distillation of city-planning and logistics.
From IGN's Review: "Pokemon Go, described in simple terms, is a clever concept: Walk to real-life locations called PokeStops marked on a map on your phone to get items and collect the Pokemon that pop up along the way to gain XP. Use those Pokemon to take over real-world objectives called Gyms from other players. It has all the basics covered to make it a functional mobile treasure-hunting app, though technically its performance (and that of its servers) is often very poor on iOS and Android. But the main appeal of the free-to-play Pokemon Go is how being out in the real world, finding tons of other people who see the same augmented reality you do, brings the sort of intangible dream of Pokemon to life."
Really Bad Chess is just like normal chess... except every single piece for both players is completely random. All knights? Five queens? It's all left up to chance. The concept might sound awful, but works far, far better than it has any right to.
As the king of a medieval kingdom, Reigns is nothing but a series of tough yes or no decisions. Cleverly, you make these decisions Tinder-style, by swiping left or right. If you can balance the needs of the Church, the People, and the royal coffers, and you might just discover who is truly pulling the strings.
From IGN's Review: "Severed is at its best when it features short, tactical fights in its eerily beautiful dungeons"
From IGN's Review: "Steamworld Heist stole my heart. The characters are charming, the combat is addictive, and the Firefly-style adventure made every battle a blast. Besides some annoying instances of post-battle maintenance, I rarely felt the need to power down these robots."
From IGN's Review: "Super Mario Run is an elegantly designed platformer with strong hooks that kept me coming back. Once I wrapped up the main campaign, the addictive, replayable stages urged me to perfect my coin runs. Kingdom Builder and Toad Rally provided further motivation to keep dashing for the finish line, so I could invest the spoils in my own Mushroom Kingdom. While this isn’t the best-looking Super Mario game by a longshot, it successfully distills the core fun and charm of the Mario franchise into a smart, one-handed experience."
