If you are a 90's JRPG fan, then you may want to give EGGLIA: Legend of the Redcap a look. From a quick glance, you can see that it is styled very similarly to the Mana series. But the comparisons do not end there. You can also grow your world much in the same way you did in Legend of Mana, through the use of objects that allow you to expand your map. Just keep in mind that EGGLIA: Legend of the Redcap is a turn-based RPG that is largely based around random dice throwing. So sure, while this is not an action RPG, it is a quality turn-based affair that works well on mobile.

If you find that you enjoy the plethora of drag racing games on Android, then you'll probably like Carmageddon: Crashers.

Whoever smashes into their opponent at the highest speed will obliterate the slower racer. Sadly Carmageddon: Crashers is a free-to-play release, so that does mean it is rife with multiple currencies, a loot crate system, and of course plenty of wait timers. If these type of issues do not bother you, then you may just find something enjoyable with this release.
