Android RPGs that AFK Arena fans will like (December 2022)

1) Mobile Legends Adventure

This is probably the game closest to AFK Arena on this list. Based on the popular Mobile Legends, Mobile Legends Adventure is a mobile-only MOBA that shares many of its combat mechanics with AFK Arena. It also mimics the elaborate artwork and animations fans associate with the latter.

It does bring a landscape mode and several new elements from Mobile Legends that will be a fun change for those who spend a lot of time in the Arena.

• Developer: Moonton
• Year of Release: 2019

2) TapTap Universe

Currently only available on Android, the game has yet to have a full release. Even in its early access phase, TapTap universe has created a buzz with its great visuals and appealing storyline.

The game has just enough in common with AFK for fans to feel at home, but there’s enough difference for it to feel fresh.

• Developer: AIScourge
• Year of Release: Not out yet

3) Cookie Run: Kingdom

Probably the most popular game on this list, with over 200 million active players, Cookie Run: Kingdom is a kingdom builder RPG set around the adventures of GingerBrave and his friends.

While the Gacha-based game is known for its adorable character design and unconventional combat elements, AFK Arena fans will definitely enjoy the rich storylines weaved throughout the PvE side of the game.

• Developer: Devsisters
• Year of Release: 2021

4) Valor Legends

A strategy-based idle RPG, simple 3D graphics may not be to the taste of every AFK Arena player. However, the fight against the Shadow Forces in Valor Legends could make for a welcome change from being stuck on one level in the Arena all day.

Additionally, the constant release of themed content keeps players engaged and invested in the game.

• Developer: Century Games
• Year of Release: 2021

5) Undead Heroes: World Survival

Another idle RPG that's more of a stressbuster than an intricate story-based one, players have to face seemingly never-ending hordes of zombies in this portrait-only combat mode.

It does share auto-dynamic combat abilities, as seen in AFK, but unlike them, Undead World's developers are not very responsive on social media, which is the game's only flaw.

• Developer: Double Down Interactive
• Year of Release: 2021
