3) Terraria

Terraria has long been the king of survival/sandbox mobile games on Google Play Store, and with good reason. This title, rather than be restricted by its 2D platformer design, uses it to its benefit, resulting in a game that is distinct from Minecraft but just as rewarding.

Its extremely well-done art-style also adds to the charm, and because of its in-depth gameplay systems and environment, Terraria is understandably one of the better games in this genre on Androids.
