In honor of this occasion, we at C.A.G have resurrected an old favorite to give you our most comprehensive list of casual gaming.

The Keeps
PUBG Mobile
PUBG Mobile Rating: 4/5
Company: PUBG Corporation
Genre: Battle Royale
Rated: 17+

When I reviewed PUBG Mobile, I did enjoy it but I found faults with the controls – I also commented that I wouldn’t be keeping it because it wasn’t my kind of game. But after I finished the review, I played it in my free time and became obsessed. It’s incredibly competitive and super fun to play with real players – there is even an option to message so you can even make casual gamer friends!
Episode

Episode is a game I keep downloading and deleting but I always go back to it. I find the stories to be super engaging along with the graphics to be improving with every update.
Golf Clash
Golf Clash Rating: 3/5
Company: Playdemic
Genre: Sports
Rated: 4+

There are many games on the app store that are based around golf but nothing compares to Golf Clash. I love the fact you can join teams, play with Facebook games and buy your own personalized balls.

Company: Office Create Corp.

Company: MADFINGER Games
Genre: Role Playing
Rated: 12+

Like PUBG Mobile, I wasn’t completely sure about Shadowgun Legends. However, after I finished the review, I played it more and easily became hooked. I love everything from the graphics to the fuss-free controls.
Cooking Craze
Cooking Craze Rating: 3/5
Company: Big Fish Games

Best Fiends is one of those addictive games that you just can’t put down. I love playing it when I’m chilling and having a cup of tea in the evening.

Restaurant DASH: Gordon Ramsay Overall Rating: 4/5
Company: Glu Games Inc
Genre: Strategy

Company: Smilegate Megaport
Genre: Role-Playing, Anime

Company: Blizzard Entertainment Inc.

Rated: 12+

Draw It
Draw It Overall Rating: 3/5
Company: Kwalee
Genre: Puzzle,Indie Games
Rated: 4+
Offers in-app Purchases
My favorite thing about Draw it was the fact that you can play with people all over the world. As I’m not the best at drawing, it was a great way to embarrass myself, that’s for sure!
21 Blitz
21 Blitz Rating: 4/5
Company: Tether Studios
Genre: Games, Skillz Games
Rated: 12+
Offers in-app Purchases
Show off your skills for a chance at real money! This casual app won’t be going anywhere until I win a tournament prize!

Genre: Games
Rated: 12+

Let RNG guide you destiny with this casual app. If you are looking for action and alot of randomness, keep Dice Mage 2 nearby at all times.
Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links
Yu-Gi-Oh! Rating: 5/5
Company: Konami
Genre: Games, Card Battle
Rated: 12+
Offers in-app Purchases
This casual app brings back all the epic Yu-Gi-Oh matches I’ve witness. While there’s menus galore, the collection system is superior to many card games today.
The Deletes
So maybe some of these casual apps are getting a bad rap. Nonetheless, here’s just a few casual apps that where fired from being apps on my phone.
House Flip
House Flip Rating: 3/5
Company: fun-gi
Genre: Role-playing
Rated: 4+
Offers in-app Purchases
House Flip wasn’t for me as there wasn’t enough substance to the game. Upon downloading it, I thought that you could decorate the houses from scratch but you can only pick from 3 designs.
The Wolf: Online RPG Simulator
The Wolf: Online RPG Simulator Rating: 2/5
Android Link – Not Available
Company: Swift Apps
Genre: Fighting, RPG, Simulation
Rated: 12+
Offers in-app Purchases
Although I enjoyed the graphics for The Wolf, the game was too childish for me and is definitely aimed at younger kids. I also didn’t really understand the gameplay.
Jelly Shift
Jelly Shift Rating: 3/5
Company: SayGames
Genre: Strategy
Rated: 12+
Offers in-app Purchases
Jelly Shift was a super addicting game, however, it just didn’t have enough substance for me to keep it on my phone!
Golf Rival
Golf Rival Rating: 2/5
Company: Rein Technology
Genre: Golf Games
Rated: 4+
Offers in-app Purchases
As mentioned in the review, Golf Rival was ridiculously similar to Golf Clash and I just didn’t see a point in keeping it if I already have the exact same game on my phone!
Dr. Mario World
Dr. Mario World Rating: 3/5
Company: Nintendo
Genre: Puzzle
Rated: 4+
Offers in-app Purchases
I had high hopes for Dr. Mario World but as it is just your standard match-3 game with Super Mario’s face slapped on it, I wasn’t impressed.
King of Crabs
King of Crabs Rating: 3/5
Company: Robot Squid
Genre: MMORPG
Rated: 9+
Offers in-app Purchases
While this was a great idea starting off, you get eaten by higher level bots, then by higher level players. Sometimes in that order.
Battle Destruction
Battle Destruction Rating: 1/5
Company: PENGPENG QUIO
Genre: Battle Royale
Rated: 12+
Offers in-app Purchases
Too much of a Fortnite clone, and a bad one at that!
Highway Heat
Highway Heat Rating: 4/5
Company: Bite Size Games
Genre: Racing
Rated: 9+
Offers in-app Purchases
Awesome game and concept, but after a few hundred runs, boredom sets in.
Boom Pilot
Boom Pilot Rating: 4/5
Company: Oddrok Oy
Genre: Shoot ’em up!
Rated: 4+
Offers in-app Purchases
Initially, I was excited about boom Pilot, but most of that was fizzled into a “meh.” Being strapped for space also helped Boom Pilot’s departure.
Marshmello Music Dance
Marshmello Music Dance Rating: 3/5
Company: Gamejam Co.
Genre: Music
Rated: 4+
Offers in-app Purchases
Marshmello Music Dance is great if you’re a fan of him, but it wasn’t for me!
Crush ’em All
Crush ’em All Rating: 4/5
Company: Godzliab
Genre: Idle RPG
Rated: 9+
Offers in-app Purchases
Crush Them All has a very strong introduction, but sadly it fell in line with other uninspiring Idle Games.
Party.iO
Party.IO Rating: 4/5
Company: DIGIART INVESTMENT LTD, Indie Games
Genre: Games
Rated: 4+
Offers in-app Purchases
Party.iO offers a quick free for all to see who’s the biggest! After a while the grind just gets too boring.
Slot Riches
Slot Riches Rating: 5/5
Android Link: Unavailable
Company: Spark City Co, Limited
Genre: Casino Games
Rated: 12+
Offers in-app Purchases
I’m always torn when it comes to Casino Games. I love the lights, but when the coin is gone, so am I. There just wasn’t enough free gold in this casual app to keep it from being deleted.
Heroes Auto Chess
Heroes Auto Chess Rating: 3/5
Company: Tap2PlayLLC
Genre: Games, Board Games
Rated: 12+
Offers in-app Purchases
As happy as I was when i found it, I was just a quickly disenchanted by all the bugs in the game. This casual app has potential, but not while Hearthstone has it’s new battlegrounds
Elder Scrolls: Blades
Elder Scrolls: Blades Rating: 4/5
Company: Bethesda
Genre: Role-Playing
Rated: 12+
Offers in-app Purchases
The Hype for an Elder Scrolls game on your phone was blown up to an unsatisfying level as I was able to get into the beta on this casual app. While it can be fun, it’s nothing like Skyrim.
Shadow of Death
Shadow of Death Overall Rating: 4/5
Company: Vietnam Zonmob Technology JSC
Genre: Hack N Slash, RPG
Rated: 12+
Offers in-app Purchases
This Hack n Slash didn’t slash enough for me in the right direction. With a rather daunting grind ahead for any new player, it’s a hell of a grind that feels more tedious than rewarding.
Power Hover Cruise
Power Hover Cruise Rating: 3/5
Company: Oddrock Oy
Genre: Games, Racing Games
Rated: 4+
Offers in-app Purchases
This casual app offers a good beat with some challenging levels, but sadly the bots couldn’t Power Hover over boredom.
Monopoly Slots
Monopoly Slots Rating: 2/5
Company: Phantom EFX
Genre: Casino Games
Rated: 12+
Offers in-app Purchases
While I was really hoping to have some kind of mobile Monopoly experience. Sadly this was not it. Stingy dailies and tight slots.
Another Eden: The Cat Beyond Time and Space
Another Eden Rating: 5/5
Company: Wright Flyer Studios
Genre: Role-Playing, Turn Based Combat
Rated: 12+
Offers in-app Purchases
This casual app almost didn’t make it to the list. Unfortunately, we are here talking about it. What really drew me into this causal app was the story and development team that created Chrono Trigger. The gameplay becomes stale after a while. It could be my preference.
Out of all of the deletes, this one might find a way back on my phone at a later date!
