One of the most dominant trends in technology in the past decade is the way in which our mobile devices have provided us with a portable version of many activities. And it’s mobile gaming that’s really enjoyed a massive amount of popularity with a seemingly limitless variety of titles that look to take advantage of the incredible mobile innovation.
In particular it’s the latest line of smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S7 that seem to have facilitated some of the more eye-opening gaming endeavours. This amazing device not only has a deeply impressive Super AMOLED display but it’s also packed in with a long-lasting battery and even some special water-cooling features that can facilitate many more hours intensive gaming.
These devices have been seemingly designed with gaming in mind, particularly as many of the biggest grossing mobile gaming apps have tended to be MMO titles like Mobile Strike and Clash of Clans that are doing their utmost to push smartphones to their limits thanks to the limitless chaotic action taking place onscreen.
But it’s the sheer breadth of variety of mobile gaming releases that continues to amaze modern-day gamers. From innovative world-building games like Minecraft: Pocket Edition to mildly-amusing walking simulators like Steppy Pants, there seems to be very few human activities that haven’t been made into a mobile game.
Even the humble casino game of poker has been provided with some interesting twists with brands like Coral offering a special Beat the Boss challenge on the first Thursday of each month where players can take on the site’s poker manager and make some big cash winnings.
There have also been many television shows that have sought to take advantage of the mobile gaming trend with the likes of ITV’s The Chase offering a great way to enjoy the excitement in a more interactive way thanks to their innovative quiz-based app.
But for a truly eye-opening example of how far mobile gaming has come, then Never Alone: Ki Edition has proven to be one of the mobile hits of the year as it features stunning graphics and whimsical platform-based gameplay that once again reveals the limitless potential of our mobile devices.
So from finding out new ways to Beat the Boss at poker, to taking on the nation’s best-loved quiz shows, there are many ways that mobile gaming is getting bigger and better in 2016!
