Best 10 offline strategy games for Android and iPhone

Sometimes it can be good to have offline strategy games that you can play offline. Maybe the wifi is not good, or maybe you don't have any internet. 

Or maybe you are on a bus or in a plane for whatever reason, there will come a time when you need an offline strategy game that is beautiful and entertaining.

Fortunately, there are a large number of offline strategy games with great ratings, on both iOS and Android.

1- Plague Inc.

Have you ever dreamed of creating a virus to exterminate humanity? I hope not. Regardless of the Plague Inc. game pool. 

Between the genres of "strategic" and "post-apocalyptic,". In this game, you must try to infect the population of the world with a deadly virus, and you must protect yourself and your country from unexpected infection, among the 12 accessible species. The game is also equipped with artificial intelligence that challenges your efforts.

In fact, with this game, you will feel new sensations. You have never seen such a strategy before. 

Only here you are literally fighting against all of humanity. The game is very popular, with amazing graphics, and your main enemy will be the virus that is still spreading all over the world. You need to rally the rest of humanity and fight diseases.

However, not everything is so straightforward. In Plague Inc, different types of diseases or viruses are presented. There are five special viruses that turn people into monkeys. But you will not allow the Earth to turn into the Planet of the Apes? In short, download the game and start tracking epidemics, and get them under control! The game looks really great in every way, from the idea itself to its implementation.

2- Insurgent Inc.

Just like its predecessor, Plague Inc is an excellent game and one of the best offline strategy games, and it allows you to pause the game and leave and come back to it at a later time. This real-time strategy game puts you in the position of a newly appointed manager of a troubled region recovering from the last war.

You should spend your budget wisely on improvements and government initiatives to help residents rebuild and gain support.

 Unlike Plague, you can't just sit around and wait for people to like you - the defeated enemies in the last war haven't disappeared, and soon rebel forces will start appearing on the map trying to capture it eventually by force.

Then a completely different game begins - a tactical one. By organizing local or coalition forces, you have to drive the rebels out of major population centers and park them so that they have nowhere to take them. 

Well they will eventually ask for peace, but the longer they stay, the faster your reputation will go down, and if you get to zero you will lose.

3. RedSun RTS

If you download the Redsun RTS game, you are sure that you will get a great experience from the game. The whole process will take place in real-time and the player will have to control a huge base. 

It is vital to reconstruct and return to the army's leadership. Take control of your warriors and use tactical schemes for victories.

You have to reinforce your base in time so that none of the enemies will attack it. And your resources should always remain under your control. There are a large number of types of units and missions that you will definitely like. 

Moreover, the entire surrounding game world is made with simple and 2D graphics.

The commander will be able to choose any type of unit in the battle directly. If the world seems too small, you can smoothly zoom in/out. Choose anywhere from the huge map and with one click place your base there. 

Later, you will need to expand and improve on everything. And finally, start developing nuclear weapons against other participants in the war.

4. Door kickers

In the game Doorkickers, every mission is a puzzle that you solve by drawing lines for your team of police officers. First the planning, then you can pause the game at any time to adjust your strategy. 

If the matches end as quickly as possible, you can win, and if your officers get hit, you can try again almost immediately.

5- Sea Battle 2

Do you remember this great game of destroying battleships? It is indeed a very, very cool game. First, you and your opponent draw your ships and battleships on the grid map, and then you fire missiles at the coordinates in an attempt to sink them all.

 This game Sea Battle 2 is very fun, in fact, I consider it one of the best offline strategy games.

Also in offline mode, you can play against the AI. But you can also play this game with players and friends via Bluetooth. 

True, this is the only game on the list that allows players to play via Bluetooth without the need for an internet connection. Also, two people can operate it on one phone alternately.

6. Crops vs Zombies 2

Who does not know this beautiful game, which is one of the first games on mobile phones, Crops vs. Zombies 2 was a huge success when it launched in 2013.

 Although the years have passed, it still stands as one of the best strategy games on mobile.

Your task is very simple in PvZ2. You have a collection of plants with different abilities. And zombies want to infiltrate your arena. Place the plants in such a way that they can destroy the zombies before they do any damage. 

As with any strategy game, it gets more and more difficult as you progress through the missions. While other games pay aggressively for in-app purchases, you don't need to purchase anything to enjoy this game.

7- Iron Marines: RTS Offline Real-Time Strategy Game

This game is worth it. It's from the veteran developers of Ironhide, the developers of the hit Kingdom Rush, a space marine versus a group of aliens. Your commander has MOBA-like hero abilities that will help you face a variety of types of missions and enemies, and the game can become very challenging later in the stages or missions.

8. Crashlands: Story-driven Crafting ARPG

Crashlands is a well-designed game that puts your heroes on a dangerous planet with the task of building a base, defeating your enemies, and eventually escaping into space. 

The combat system is simple and fun. A streamlined world makes it easy to get resources and build a base.

The story is filled with a lot of humor. Unfortunately, it's not free. For around $6.99, Crashlands offers beautiful and non-addictive gameplay - once you win the game stages you can simply unlock more stages.

9. Tentacle Wars

A very strange strategy game that has no equal in the game industry.

Tentacle Wars is a combination of puzzles, reaction speed tests, and science fiction. The events take place in the body of a strange creature attacked by a dangerous virus, and almost all cells are destroyed. 

At your disposal are the last healthy cell and up to 80 stages in which you will try to heal the patient's body.

This game is based on defeating enemy cells. With each level the game process will become more complex, aggressive invading cells will come to replace the infected cells and you will have to defend.

It is worth noting the excellent visual design with imaginative musicality. The developers created a dark and dramatic atmosphere, which all science fiction lovers should download Tentacle Wars, but the game will also appeal to puzzle lovers. 

A large number of levels will flood you and will not let you escape until your body is saved from this terrible infection.

But the problem is that this game is not free, but it is about $6.
