The powerful hardware of current Android devices allows for challenging games with convincing graphics and complex game mechanics. However, some titles are really fun only after a certain screen size: We show you the best tablet games.

The best game ever for tablets

Color Switch

ColorSwitch is a good example of games that handle the mobile limitations of games perfectly. At first sight, the game looks a bit simple: just tap the screen to jump the ball up. Again and again. But such a game principle is almost perfect for a tablet. This simple operation and the great design of the game quickly get a hold of you and do not let you go so quickly.

With ColorSwitch you have to let the ball jump through different moving objects. The ball changes color when passing an object. The objects are indicated by dots and carry different colors in different places. The ball can only pass in places that display the same color. In order to crack the high score, keep the ball in the air and pass only in the same color. A typical example of a game that is easy to learn but difficult to master.

The game has learned new features through updates, but the game principle has always remained the same and is as addictive as on the first day.

ColorSwitch is currently our favorite for the tablet. / © COOLANDROIDTIPS

Best strategy game for tablets

Deus Ex Go

When we tested Deux Ex Go some time ago, we found it a strong continuation of the Go series. It is one of the best examples of round-based strategy games for Android.

You play the protagonist Adam Jensen and you have to fight over a field. You have to turn off your opponent or evade to successfully defeat the level. These are constructed like puzzles, which must be solved to get further. The game has little to do with the Deus-Ex games for PC and console. It is a complete new development for mobile devices. Above all the simple game concept makes the appeal of Deus Ex Go.

The game is really smart. Even if it looks simple knitted, it is one of the best strategy games for Android. The developers have done a lot of things and understood what mobile games are all about.

Deus Ex Go was completely redesigned by the manufacturer Square Enix. / © CoolAndroidTips

Best card game for tablets

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft

The developer Blizzard is a pure success story. After World of Warcraft, Diablo and recently Overwatch, the developer shows what he can and it's no surprise that Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft works so well. The perfect balance of the available maps, the impressive animations and the design testify of one of the best games for Android.

In Hearthstone, you play a magician who must defeat enemies with his spells. The spells are applied using cards. This game has been known for a long time, but Blizzard is perfect in the mobile game world. The game is continually updated with new content, so the game fun is maintained permanently.

Best Open World game for tablets

Minecraft: Pocket Edition

If Minecraft is still alien to you, you have probably spent the last few years behind the moon. Minecraft is the mega-success of Mojang, where you can build practically everything you can imagine.

Minecraft provides a great world for self-realization. You are working blocks to get material, create game objects, build larger constructions, dig caves, and fight you against zombies. The possibilities are infinite. In a YouTube video the best creations were compiled in the PC version of Minecraft.

Minecraft: Pocket Edition is especially suitable for tablets, as your inventory can take on a considerable size and is easier to organize on the larger screen. On a smartphone this can be a bit difficult.

Best board game for tablets

talisman

For board game fans it is probably a shame to play a board game on a tablet. I would normally agree with that, but there are exceptions. Usually, the board games for Android are only offshoots of the original games and their own safe, therefore, to try out a game before buying the original.

Ticket Ride and Catan are good examples. Talisman, however, offers a somewhat more profound game concept. Some argue that Talisman is a typical board game, where you simply need to roll and draw and no strategy is needed. I can definitely say that the game is incredibly much fun, especially the so-called "Dice of Death" can already very much on the nerves.

The digital variant of Talisman is among the best in the category. / © COOLANDROIDTIPS

Best racing game for tablets

Asphalt Xtreme

On a list of games a racing game can not be missing. Asphalt Xtreme comes from the developer Gameloft and is part of the already long active asphalt series. As the name suggests, the latest part is mainly about off-road raids.

Race games are especially fun on tablets, as the tablet can be operated like a steering wheel. The graphic of Asphalt Xtreme already impresses on the smartphone, but only on the tablet does it come into its own.

If you are looking for a mature racing game for Android tablets, you should have found it with Asphalt Xtreme.

Best music game for tablets

Deemo

Deemo is a game of a different kind. Compared to most of the listed here, Deemo is rather quiet. The music clearly contributes to your own relaxation and the artwork knows how to impress. The game itself is not as easy as it initially appears. As the difficulty increases, it becomes more and more complicated to get the right timing.

If you're not just on action, Deemo is definitely something for you. The game is fun, has lots of great songs (40 free, a total of 110 different songs) and shows that the tablet games do not always have to be packed with action.

Deemo is challenging with time. / © COOLANDROIDTIPS
