Updated August 29th, 2025 - swapped 3 games.

Ever want to be the baddie - the person who doesn’t have to save the world, doesn’t need to or by the rules that exist and doesn’t need to save the princess in her castle? There are plenty of games where you can play the heroic hero - someone the world loves and who is always being friendly and making the best decisions for the town.

But what if you want to be the master of chaos, destroying humanity or breaking laws without consequences - living life dangerously from the comfort of your own home. Luckily for you, you can become the bad guy, play as a villain, and do little and big crimes in games - without any consequences.

So, we have compiled a list of the best iOS games where you can play as the bad guy. But worry not, we also have a list for Android players!

Hitman World of Assassination is a stealth strategy game all about killing your mark. There are a variety of different missions that require you to go to a location, blend in, kill your target (and anyone that catches you) before leaving the scene in hopes that you are not caught. You do get to discover different objects that can help you with your mission, change outfits by taking them from those who you force to pass out, and generally figure out what zones to avoid! Are you the worst villain? Probably not, but you are a stone cold killer.

Looking like something out of a horror movie, your creature grabs onto the walls and moves in a very satisfying way. Listen to people scream as they die and watch yourself grow with each kill.
