It today’s tech-driven world, movie makers have found a new medium to market blockbusters – mobile gaming. For the past few years, Hollywood has been readily embracing the new fad of creating official games based on popular titles in an attempt to lure in even more fans.
The Android platform has certainly seen its fair share of movie tie-ins and in this article, we’ve made a selection of top Android games that have been inspired by movies. And if you’re a fan of the Fantasy/Sci-Fi genres, you’re certainly going to love this list.
Middle-earth: Shadow of War
Inspired by The Lord of the Rings universe and keeping the Tolkien essence intact, Middle-earth: Shadow of War is a free-to-play real-time RPG in which you play Talion (the same character from the previous Shadow of Mordor) – a courageous warrior who hopes to defeat the the evil hordes of Sauron.
Talion sets out to gather an army and soon recruits iconic characters such as Gimli, Arwen or Boromir. What’s more, fan-favorite Uruk Ratbag from the Shadow of War makes a welcome comeback in this new chapter, to the delight of many players.
Combat scenes are very number-heavy, but appear to contain some gameplay mechanics borrowed from the console and PC games, and that’s very good news for mobile players.
Mobile spinoffs haven’t had a great reputation among hard-core gamers, as they often feel watered-down knockoffs of the console experience, however, Shadow of War is definitely worth a try. If anything, you’ll appreciate the graphics.
The Hobbit: Kingdoms
The story in the Hobbit takes place 60 years before The Lord of the Rings adventure and stars beloved characters such as Gandalf, Bilbo, Legolas, and Thorin.
These heroes have made it into the mobile game as well and they will need your help to succeed in their quest of driving Goblin hordes out of Middle-Earth.
So, join thousands of players worldwide, to forge diplomatic alliances, train vast armies, conquer enemies and upgrade buildings and weapons to strengthen your position.
