PUBG Mobile doesn’t need an introduction due to its popularity all around the globe. It is also considered one of the best Battle Royale games for Android and other platforms by millions of players. PUBG Mobile is mainly known for its intense action gameplay and impressive graphics.

Players will have to battle it out with 100 other players on an unknown island. Upon landing, you will need to run for your life while scavenging for weapons and pieces of equipment that will help you survive. There are 4 maps to choose from, Vikendi, Sanhok, Miramar and the popular Erangel.

Squad Busters

Squad Busters is a very compelling battle royale where you start with one character and try to build a squad by unlocking more characters as you play. The map is rather big, and as you fight mobs, collect coins and new characters to boost your squad, you'll encounter other players. Now, these encounters are the most rewarding, but they can also go very wrong for you in case your opponent's squad is more powerful. The art style is literally the same as Brawl Stars, so if you liked that one, you'll love the cartoonish characters presented in this one as well. Quite fun, and one of my personal favourites from this list.

CoD Mobile has also bagged multiple awards in the same year, making it one of the most successful BR games ever created for the mobile platform. It features multiple popular characters from the original PC game.

It was also the most downloaded game globally in 2019 and had multiple prestigious nominations for awards. Free Fire rose to popularity due to its low system requirements and constant partnerships and crossovers. It's still exceptionally popular, especially in Asia.

T3 Arena

Fans of Team Fortress and Overwatch will be overjoyed with T3 Arena, as gameplay is very similar, and the art style looks almost exactly the same as Overwatch! There are over thirty different heroes that you can play with, so it won't get boring soon, especially as gameplay is very quick and frenetic. Rounds last up to five minutes, and it only takes a few seconds to respawn each time you fall down, which is great in case you can't play longer sessions. Shooting is automatic, but you do have to aim; otherwise, it would've been boring, right? A plethora of modes like Deathmatch, Payload Escort, Free for All and others will suit most players, as you can pick what you want to play. It never gets boring.

Bullet Echo

Bullet Echo is a multiplayer mobile tactical shooter, and as with most of the titles on this list, it has interesting and dynamic gameplay. The developers decided to add classic shooter mechanics, such as the ability to shoot from the corner. Sounds help the player to determine the location of the enemy.

Just in case the sound isn't turned on, the developers also decided to create another feature. If the enemy is not far from you, his steps can be seen on the screen. The same goes for shooting. To win, you have to plan your actions and coordinate the attack with the team. If you are looking for something different from PUBD or COD, Bullet Echo might be a great choice.

Brawlhalla

Brawlhalla is currently one of the most popular battle royales on mobile, with over a hundred million downloads on all platforms. First of all, it's fully 2D and a platformer as well, as most of the battles are fought on platforms that you can fall off of, which is a big part of the gameplay. If you manage to push your opponent, he's gone (in case he can't dash back). There are over 50 characters from different universes, from Rayman and Thor to John Cena! Of course, each one plays differently, and it makes the rounds so frenetic and fun that it's hard to let it go, especially after a hard day at school or at work.

Farlight 84

With its beautiful 3D visuals and effects, Farlight 84 is a BR unlike any other. Players can use heavy mechas and characters to attack other players and have a lot of freedom when it comes to what is actually possible. If you have some friends, add them, as it will increase the immersion by a huge margin. If you don't have any, add random people who are active. Most of them would love to play a round or two.

We also have a Farlight 84 guide and Farlight 84 codes, so make sure to check them out if you're about to do a test run.

Hunt Royale

Hunt Royale is a lot different from other battle royale games on this list. In the basic PVP mode, it doesn't differ much. However, it has other modes where you can play in co-op, hunt in PVE, and play solo if you wish...it's a list of different challenges within one title, and I really think it's amazing. Its voxel graphics are simple but very amusing and colourful. There are over 70 characters to unlock and boost, so it's going to take a while to collect all of them if you're a completionist. We have a tier list of hunters in Hunt Royale, where they are ranked by their sheer power, so if you're new to the game, we recommend starting there.

Although it's been around for 10 years now, War Robots never gets boring. It still has a huge player base, and if a number of players drop, new ones replace them. This amazing shooter will have you reliving your childhood dreams of driving huge robots and mechs, some as tall as regular buildings. There are over 50 robots available at the moment, and they are designed very well; each has its own features that stand out. On top of that, you can customise them and create your killbots, ready to wreck everything that stands in their way. Even though in essence, it's a shooter, there is a mode that allows you to play free-for-all!

Fortnite is one of the most dynamic battle royales. Your goal here is to eliminate opponents and survive for as long as possible.

Brawl Stars

Supercell's little wonder came out back in 2017. It's a third-person shooter where each character has their own speciality, and they can fit some roles better than others. There are over 60 brawlers that you can pick at the moment, and we have sorted them all out on our Brawl Stars tier list.

Why is it still so popular? Well, the gameplay is smooth, and the graphics are cartoonish, and really easy on the eye. More importantly, the rounds don't last too long. You can start the round and end it in a few frantic minutes, enjoying every second of it. For players who don't have that much time to play and are looking for a quick escape without too much investment, this is a solid choice.
