Similar to my point in the best gameplay gacha thread, I think best is going to be pretty subjective compared to what you like.
I’m not a big fan of open-world or action games, so Wuthering Waves lasted about 10 minutes on my phone. For others, it might be the best game they’ve ever played.
Currently, for me, the best combat mechanics:
- Arknights. There are just so many operators you can build a squad that you like. Forget meta, if you like the playstyle of an operator you can make it work.
- GFL2. It’s XCOM on my phone with progression and multiplayer elements. What’s not to like.
- Sword of Convallaria. Like old school FF tactics. I don’t know if that will be a long term game for me though, I’d love something with this combat with more end game.
