Diablo Immortal also has cross-play between PC and mobile. So you can easily play the game on PC and pick up from where you left off on mobile.

The game lets you choose from 6 classes and it offers lots of different content for enjoying the game the way you want.

The most fun I’ve had playing an RPG on mobile was with Dawn of Isles. This game is developed by a Japanese company and it has very pretty graphics and the gameplay is very well optimized for mobile too. This is another MMORPG.

- Platform: Android, iOS
Blade Bound is one of the best ARPG games I’ve played on mobile. This game is truly ahead of its time. It has great graphics, loot, gameplay, and everything else you’d expect to see in a modern mobile game. The only thing that disappointed me about the game was its levels were too short. Still, the game is really fun to play on your breaks.
#13 Eternium

Ubisoft sure knows how to feed our hunger for loot and grind. Their latest title is all about grinding for loot and leveling up your character in a dungeon-style hack and slack mobile game.
