Top 5 mobile games to play instead of Rage 2

Rage 2 has hit console and PC, and boy is it angry. I mean, it's right there in the name.

This joint effort between Avalanche and id combines open world exploration through a post-apocalyptic landscape with lots and lots of meaty FPS combat.

It's the latter component that seems to be winning all the plaudits, with id's visceral gunplay firmly in place. No one does shotguns better than the Doom veteran.

Of course, there's no mobile version of Rage 2. We wouldn't expect there to be, frankly.

But there are other ways you get a slice of first person or post apocalyptic mayhem on the go. Check out these five mobile Rage 2 alternatives.

1
Shadowgun Legends

Publisher: Madfinger Games
Available on: iOS + Android
Genre: Multiplayer, Shooter

Shadowgun Legends

Shadowgun Legends isn't quite an open world FPS, but it's the game that hits a number of the key bullet points. Madfinger's ambitious effort combines tight FPS action with a sprawling mission-based structure, all launched from a free-roaming hub.

It's also got a bold futuristic world and larger-than-life NPCs to interact with, not to mention a multiplayer mode - which Rage 2 conspicuously lacks.

2
Neon Shadow

Developer: Tasty Poison Games
Publisher: Crescent Moon Games
Available on: iOS + Android
Genre: 3D, Action, Shooter

Neon Shadow

More Sci-Fi FPS action, this time in a much more traditional form. Neon Chrome focuses on intense corridor battles in a cyber punk universe.

Its scope is way more limited than Rage 2's, but the frantic action and the tight, tactile gunplay will give you similar feels. Again, it also has multiplayer. What do you think of that, Rage 2?

3
PUBG Mobile

Publisher: Tencent
Available on: iOS + Android
Genre: Action, Multiplayer, Shooter

PUBG MOBILE

What on Earth does a massively multiplayer third person shooter have to do with a decidedly single player FPS? More than you might think.

For one thing, PUBG Mobile can be played in first person. For another, it's got a big sprawling open map to negotiate, and gun-toting hooligans tearing around a post-apocalyptic setting in buggies.

4
Tales from the Borderlands

Available on: iOS + Android
Genre: Adventure

Tales from the Borderlands

Maybe it's the colourful post-apocalyptic wasteland setting that you like about Rage 2. It's been compared quite a bit to the Borderlands series, and not only for its first person loot-shooter mechanics.

Tales from the Borderlands isn't an FPS, but it is an enjoyable adventure game set in a universe that isn't too different from Rage 2's.

5
Ashworld

Publisher: OrangePixel
Available on: iOS + Android + Steam
Genre: Action, Arcade
Find out more about Ashworld
Ashworld

Okay, so Ashworld isn't the best game on this list. In fact, it's quite comfortably the worst. But it's also the game that arguably hits that Rage 2 feel better than any of the others.

In fact, you could almost look on it as like a 2D version of Rage 2, with top-down 2D open world exploration through a Max Max-like world, and tight 2D action-platformer sections when you stray indoors.

Jon is a consummate expert in adventure, action, and sports games. Which is just as well, as in real life he's timid, lazy, and unfit. It's amazing how these things even themselves out.
