Current games for mid-range smartphones

Modern smartphone games have evolved a lot in terms of graphics, which has seriously affected the system requirements.

Some of the latest Asphalt or Modern Combat on most devices just won’t run with normal performance, like all the newfangled Fortnite and PUBG. Therefore, owners of medium configuration devices who do not want to fork out for a new smartphone or tablet should pay attention to the games from the list below. They boast good graphics and exciting gameplay without loading your gadget to failure.

The Rhythm of Fighters

Where only the ruthless fate in the face of the creators did not throw the fighters of the series The King of Fighters over the twenty years of their video game career. The masters of all conceivable and unthinkable martial arts had a chance to experience all the hardships and hardships of the role-playing genre, try their luck in card battles and even test the reaction in the Shoot ‘Em Up genre (talking about the King of Fighters Sky Stage). With music games that have come into vogue and are not yet in a hurry to go out of it, SNK has received another genre, which it has thrown the heroes of The King of Fighters into mastering.

At first glance at The Rhythm of Fighters, the only thing that seems out of the ordinary for an SNK game veteran is a blue oval surrounding a pair of characters getting ready to spar. Dots and arrows appear on this oval, which show the player whether he needs to simply poke or swipe on the screen. Interestingly, it is not necessary to poke at the dots themselves, the game will count a timely touch in any part of the screen. Dots with arrows appear in time with melodies, which are a pleasure to listen to. The soundtrack of The King of Fighters series has long become a thing in itself and enjoys steady popularity among many players, even far from the 20-face-to-face fight. Just a couple of modes (Arcade and Free Mode) and a half dozen songs – this may not seem enough, but the developers regularly replenish the repertoire with timely updates.

MMX Racing

Big car – big wheels. And it doesn’t matter which car, as long as the wheels are bigger. This philosophy is very much to the liking of fans of all kinds of championships with Bigfoot participation. Such fun is most popular in the USA, where all kinds of car perversions, held under the guise of competitions, have long been held in high esteem. However, there are such connoisseurs outside of America. For them, the Hutch Games studio has a great gift called MMX Racing.

The game was created in the image and likeness of one-button drag racing fun CSR Racing. But if there it was required to switch speeds in a timely manner, then it is necessary to competently accelerate in the interval between jumps from the springboards placed on the track. To increase the variety, the creators squeezed out a primitive plot and screwed up a simple management with an upgrade and the purchase of cars. It is simple, however, only at first glance – the game very aggressively offers to fork out. And for the smartest ones (those who wind circles on the same track for the purpose of enrichment), it provides for a time limit on re-passing races.

Civilization: Revolution 2

Everyone knows about the success of “Civilization” on personal computers – this is one of the best turn-based strategies. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that over time, the series began to master mobile platforms with appropriate changes for the touch screen control features and the general rendering of the gameplay.

In Civilization Revolution 2, everything seems to be in place: the choice of leaders, the map with the same Moscow and Novosibirsk, even soldiers in green uniforms from the time of Kutuzov are present. Despite the outward resemblance to past games, it’s time to rename “Revolution” into “Degradation”. The player is allowed to move soldiers, create soldiers and research new types of soldiers. In the background, you can create the Eiffel Tower, for example, in Tver. You can even send villagers to mine near towns, but most of the options are cut down compared to the original games. Relentless boredom will overtake you in Civilization Revolution 2 sooner rather than later. The game is desperately lacking in thoughtfulness, and in fact, all you need to do here is move the soldiers and watch how the advisers swear in eloquence.

And there are still a lot of such games with acceptable system requirements – they run perfectly even on mid-budget Chinese smartphones, allowing you to kill time in line or pass a few hours on a trip.
