Arcade games include genres ranging from side-scrolling shooters to epic racing games. However, finding the best Android games that offer all the arcade action you want can be a hassle. Because the Play Store is allergic to game discovery. That’s why we at Techvair have put together a handpicked selection of our favorite arcade games to help you find titles worth playing. If you’ve been looking for a great mobile game that reminds you of the simpler days of arcades, you’ve come to the right place. Dig in!
horizon chase
Those who grew up on racers like Sega’s OutRun series will surely appreciate Horizon Chase. This racer wears its inspiration on its sleeve and is one of the best racers on Android, so even better, especially if you’re digging into the classic arcade his racing his game. Sure, the graphics are a thing of the past, but they look good enough to make the game accessible on all devices. This accessibility ties in nicely with monetization as it’s free for everyone to play, although there are additional courses and cars that can be purchased entirely through the in-game store. If you dig into the game, you will definitely fall in love with Horizon Chase.
combinator
Atari may be the name of a game that’s lost its way over the past few decades, but it seems the company is finally getting back on its feet by creating new games, and Kombinera is certainly heading to Atari’s form. A puzzle game in which you combine balls in a predetermined order to pass each stage, and when you reach the goal, you advance to the next stage. It has a sleek and fairly intuitive design, relying heavily on classic arcade game design to make the action look great.
Downwell
The game made its name by pretty much defining the vertical platformer genre. The goal, of course, is to go further and further down the well. Of course, you die a lot, which makes it a game you can quickly run a few times to see if you break previous records. It’s a simple setup that’s perfect for short, bite-sized gaming sessions during downtime, and thanks to its smooth black, white, and red graphics, there’s plenty of style to enjoy when digging the depths of the well.
bullet hell monday finale
There are plenty of Shmups on the Play Store, but Bullet Hell Monday Finale is one of the flashiest, and the gameplay is about as hectic as you’d expect from a game called Bullet Hell Monday. Dodging is your goal, and it’s a challenging one thanks to all the bullets flying across the screen. is a game that offers quite a few objectives, and by completing these objectives you reach boss battles and eventually progress. keep it interesting and exciting.
geometry dash
This mobile game dates back to 2013. The premise is simple, just jump over obstacles and reach the goal. It’s easy? Incorrect. It’s an incredibly challenging game that can be infuriating at times, but that’s honestly part of the game’s charm. It’s not something that anyone can easily do, so it feels good to play repeatedly and remember and clear. This is exactly how old-school arcade games used to be played to get quarters out of the player, and Geometry Dash seamlessly nails this type of gameplay.
crazy taxi classic
As an arcade game roundup, I had to include Sega’s Crazy Taxi. Not only was this a great game on the arcade, it was also a great title on the Sega Dreamcast. More or less, you play the role of a taxi driver driving through the city within the time limit. That means you literally have to drive like a wild man. Thankfully, the silly setting provides some humor along with solid racing mechanics. As such, Crazy Taxi is still a popular game despite turning 23 years old.

blues journey
SNK was a famous arcade game when I was a kid, thanks to games like Metal Slug and Samurai Shodown. But my favorite arcade is a unit that offers multiple games in one, where you can choose which one you want to play, and chose lesser-known (well, unknown to me) titles . One such title was Blue’s Journey, a side-scrolling action game that offers branching paths. The graphics are engaging and the gameplay offers a mix of Mega Man and Sonic, offering smooth side-scrolling gameplay. Best of all, there’s mixed controller support, though you’ll have to turn it on from the controller icon on the home screen.

R-type
R-Type is one of those games that is likely to appear in the arcade game roundup. Not only is this one of the most famous side-scrolling shooter games ever made, but its port to Android has made it an easy and fun experience, with controller support available, simple navigation and a nice touch. It has high-quality touch controls that work together. The game has many ports, the Gameboy version being one of my favorites of his, but thanks to Dot Emu’s efforts, you can also play the classic arcade version in color. Do not miss it. This is one of the best shmups ever made.
That concludes today’s arcade game summary. Hopefully everyone can find some quality titles they can play to drown out the arcade itch. Whether you enjoy classic arcade games like R-Type or prefer newer releases like Downwell, there are many genres to choose from. Of course, if you want to play games on a bigger screen, with a good Android tablet you’ll find a great device to enjoy all these games larger than life. Enjoy your selection. Also, don’t forget that this roundup is constantly being updated. If there’s anything you’d like to add, let us know in the comments.
