10 Best Offline RPG Games on Android

Role Playing Game (RPG) is one of the most popular game genres today. RPGs have actually been around since the days of traditional games such as snakes and ladders, monopoly, halma, and others.

With technological development, RPGs have evolved and are now available on PC and mobile devices. There are now dozens, even hundreds, of RPG titles that can be found easily on different platforms.

In this post, we will review the 10 best Android RPG games that you can play offline. This means you do not always need an internet connection to enjoy them.

1. Eternium

By downloading all the content the first time you play, you can enjoy Eternium offline anywhere. This action RPG is similar to Diablo because it was inspired by the classic game.

The difference is in its controls. Instead of using analogue buttons and virtual joysticks, you only need to tap the screen to move your character or cast skills on enemies. Some skills can also be used by drawing shapes directly on the screen.

The game takes you on a fantasy adventure where your character must face enemies such as skeletons, frog monsters, and other creatures while completing missions. The characters are divided into several types:

• Mages, who cast spells from a distance
• Warriors, who fight in close combat
• Bounty Hunters, who attack from afar using weapons such as pistols or rifles

As you complete missions, you earn coins to upgrade your skills, outfits, and weapons. The graphics are good, and the background music creates an exciting atmosphere. One drawback is that the layout does not always fit well on all mobile devices, which can make the view feel limited.

What I like about Eternium:

• Action RPG with attractive graphics and background music
• Playable offline once all content is downloaded
• Simple but unique controls
• Players can choose different character types
• Large map to explore

Things to note:

• Layout is not compatible with all devices
• Early game levels feel repetitive and not very progressive

2. Shadow of Death

In this dark fantasy RPG, you play as a soul knight who must fight the forces of darkness to save the ruined Kingdom of Aurora. To defeat the enemies, you can upgrade your skills or improve your weapons. Stronger skills and weapons will make it easier to knock down enemies.

Shadow of Death has several game modes. In Adventure mode, you fight enemies and bosses on different levels. In Challenge mode, you face special battles. There is also Duel mode, where you fight other players, and Defence mode, where you survive waves of enemies.

The soul knight has four characters; Assassin, Swordsman, Tank, and Mage. Each has special skills. To play well, you must be quick and careful with the controls, as they are a bit complex.

The game uses a virtual joystick for moving and extra buttons for attacking, jumping, using special skills, and moving faster. Accurate timing is important, so you need to press the right buttons.

What I like about Shadow of Death:

• Interesting storyline
• Challenging from the first level
• Many game modes, some can be played offline
• Stickman-style visuals with a dark RPG theme

Things to note:

• Controls are tricky for beginners
• Levels can feel difficult from the start

3. Pirate’s Flag (Tempest)

As the name suggests, this is a pirate RPG game. You play as the captain of a ship. One of your missions is to defeat enemy ships at sea. To win, you can use different weapons and recruit skilled crew members.

The graphics in Pirate's Flag, also called Tempest, are impressive. On medium settings with a mid-range phone, the game runs smoothly, although switching characters feels a little slow.

The controls are also very good. You can move the camera freely and steer the ship yourself. Point the ship at the enemy, then fire the cannons until their ship sinks.

Missions are not too hard to complete because of a clear in-game tutorial. Overall, the game works well, although the storyline is not very deep.

What I like about Pirate's Flag:

• Beautiful graphics
• Runs smoothly on mid-range phones
• Smooth and responsive controls
• Helpful tutorial for new players

Things to note:

• Storyline is not very detailed
• The beginning of the game feels slow

4. Darkest AFK

Why does this game have the word AFK (Away From Keyboard) in its name? It is because the game uses an automatic combat system, so you don't need to look at the screen all the time to play it.

In Darkest AFK, you collect heroes with different skills. In each match, you choose three heroes with different roles to fight in turns automatically. This system is similar to TFT in League of Legends or Magic Chess Bang Bang, but here the heroes take turns attacking.

The heroes have different roles, such as Mage, Knight, and Support. Each hero can level up, use stronger weapons, and wear better armour as you progress.

Even though the battles run automatically, you can still control simple things. For example, you can activate a hero’s ultimate skill or make the battle go twice as fast. The game also has a PvP mode where you can fight against other players.

What I like about Darkest AFK:

• Easy-to-play turn-based RPG
• You only need to set hero teams, upgrade levels, and improve items
• Unique 2D art style
• Includes a PvP mode

Things to note:

• Early levels feel slow and repetitive
• Large file size and long download time for offline play

5. Otherworld Legends

Besides the popular Soul Knight, the developer ChillyRoom also made another roguelike game called Otherworld Legends. Just like other roguelike games, the gameplay is random.

In this game, you enter a dungeon with different layouts, enemies, and items in each round. You play as a hero who is sent to the world of Mirage to uncover its secrets before returning home. During the mission, the hero must face many monsters and bosses while upgrading items and builds to grow stronger.

Otherworld Legends has a fun pixel art style, similar to Soul Knight, but with modern effects, especially when using skills against enemies.

Although the gameplay is simple, the roguelike style keeps the game fresh. The dungeons always look different, the enemies are varied, and sometimes you meet funny NPCs that make the game even more enjoyable.

What I like about Otherworld Legends:

• Roguelike RPG that stays exciting
• Simple controls and easy to play
• Interesting backstory with clear missions
• Pixel art mixed with modern animation
• Can be played offline and also has online multiplayer

One thing to note:

• Some heroes are hard to unlock and may require purchase

6. Exiled Kingdoms RPG

Before starting Exiled Kingdoms, you need to choose a character. Options include Warrior, Rogue (quick attacks and dodges), Cleric (healing magic), and Mage. However, the Mage can only be chosen through in-app purchase.

This single-player RPG has both action and exploration. Your character fights monsters while also exploring the world to find hidden items and secret quests.

The story is quite detailed. It takes place after the fall of the Andorian Empire, which collapsed when a portal to another dimension was opened. From this portal came evil creatures called The Horrors, which destroyed civilisation.

The survivors fled to a faraway island called Varannar and created four new kingdoms known as the Exiled Kingdoms. This new land is filled with monsters, ancient magic, and conflicts between kingdoms.

You play as a beginner adventurer who receives a mysterious inheritance from the city of New Garand, even though you never knew you had family there. This is where your journey begins. The search for the truth about this inheritance connects you to the destruction of the Andorian Empire.

What I like about Exiled Kingdoms RPG:

• Action RPG with strong exploration elements
• You can choose your character based on your playstyle
• Storyline is deep and ties into the exploration
• Solving the mystery of the Andorian Empire makes the game more exciting
• Many enemies, NPCs, and companions to team up with

Things to note:

• Only single-player mode available
• Graphics are quite simple

7. Legend of Solgard

What happens when an RPG is mixed with a match-3 puzzle game? That is what Legend of Solgard brings. In this game, you play as a heroine named Embla who must stop the danger of Ragnarok with the help of creatures from Nordic mythology.

To defeat your enemies, you combine these creatures in different ways. For example, matching them vertically lets you attack, while matching them horizontally builds your defence. Each creature also has special skills that appear when you match a certain number of them.

Legend of Solgard also has many game modes, so you will not get bored. There is a main mode full of enemies, a gem-collecting mode, a duel mode to get gold, a PvP mode, and a guild mode where you fight big bosses.

One great thing about this game is that it has a helpful tutorial and easy starting system. Even new players can quickly learn how to play. The game looks nice too. The graphics are smooth, and the characters are bright and colourful. Even though the story is serious, the game feels fun and friendly.

What I like about Legend of Solgard:

• A smart mix of RPG and puzzle
• Uses a Nordic mythology theme
• Many game modes keep it interesting
• Colourful and fun graphics
• Beginner-friendly controls and tutorial

Things to note:

• Each round uses 1 energy point, and energy can run out over time
• Only the main campaign mode can be played offline. Other modes need internet

8. Epic Conquest

Epic Conquest tells the story of a village attacked by demons. Because of the war, some humans and demons even get married. Their children are called witches, and they are hunted by members of the Alliance.

At the start of the game, you meet Edna, the main character. Edna is half-human and half-demon. She has a special fire power. After losing her brother, Edna begins her journey to help people fight demons.

During the game, you help Edna fight many enemies. Use the controls to release her best attacks and moves. You can also upgrade weapons to make battles easier. You will not be alone in this journey. A knight named Alastair from the Alliance will also join and help Edna.

The game is really enjoyable. The visuals and smooth controls are just two reasons why I like Epic Conquest. The story is fun to follow, the characters grow well, and the dialogues are often funny. These things keep the game interesting and not boring.

However, the game still shows some ads. It also has in-app purchases for certain items. But this is understandable, since the game is free to play. The developer has even released a sequel with the same name. Curious? Try it out.

What I like about Epic Conquest:

• Nice and colourful visuals
• Easy and responsive controls
• A story that is fun and exciting to follow

Things to note:

• There are ads in the game
• Some items can only be bought with real money

9. Vampire’s Fall: Origins RPG

Vampire's Fall: Origins RPG tells a classic story about a village that is attacked by enemies. You are recruited by the village elders and given missions to complete.

One fun part of this game is that you can create your own character. However, the choices are limited. A unique feature of this game is choosing the character's lineage. For example, the Magistrav lineage is linked to magic.

At the start, you fight a mouse as practice. This battle is easy and helps you learn the basic system. But as you progress, missions become harder and enemies are more powerful.

During combat, you need to use more than one type of attack. Try combining different skills to defeat enemies. At the beginning, your weapons are simple, like a sword.

The gameplay may not look very special, but it is still fun to try. One nice thing is that the controls disappear when not in use, so they do not block your view. The story is also interesting, and the voice acting makes it feel more real. This is also an open-world RPG, so you can move freely and interact with different characters.

What I like about Vampire’s Fall:

• You can create your own character, including choosing their lineage
• Players can mix different skills during battle
• Controls disappear when not in use, making the screen cleaner
• RPG with open-world features and voice acting
• You can talk to NPCs, even if the interaction is not very deep

Things to note:

• Missions become more difficult as you continue
• Enemies get stronger later in the game

10. Postknight

Postknight is an idle RPG that tells the story of a knight who helps save a village. Your job is to deliver letters while searching for villagers who left because of a dragon threat. You need to convince them to come back.

On your journey, you will meet enemies like wolves. Tap the sword icon to attack and defeat them. You will also face other knights in battles.

To win more easily, upgrade your sword. First, bring back the weaponsmith to the village. He will help you make your weapon stronger. Besides the weaponsmith, you can bring back other villagers too. Each one has special skills that will help you in your fights.

Postknight has bright 2D visuals with anime style. The characters look like chibis, with small and round bodies. The game is fun to look at and has even won several awards.

What I like about Postknight:

• Colourful 2D visuals with anime style
• Cute chibi characters
• Simple controls that are easy to use

One thing to note:

• Some players may find the missions a bit repetitive

That is the list of offline RPG games you can enjoy on your Android smartphone. You don't need an internet connection or Wi-Fi to play them. All the games above are exciting and easy to try. So, which one do you want to play first?
