15 of the Best RTS Mobile Games You Can Play in 2025

1-15

These games prove that the RTS genre is still alive on mobile...

Clash Royale

15. Clash Royale

Clash Royale might be RTS only on paper, but its fast, head-to-head matches and clever card-based mechanics make it incredibly addictive. It’s built for short sessions, and while progression takes time, skill still matters more than money.

Rebel Inc

14. Rebel Inc.

Rebel Inc. doesn’t go easy on you, so your first few runs will probably be a mess, but that’s part of the fun. Each governor has their own style, and once you figure out the tricks, it’s hard to stop chasing that next win.

Front Armies

13. Front Armies

Front Armies brings back that classic Command and Conquer vibe – build your base, crank out units, and unleash chaos with nukes, tanks, and airstrikes. It’s streamlined for mobile without losing the RTS soul, and the lack of ads or paywalls makes it a rare find.

Company of Heroes

12. Company of Heroes

Company of Heroes throws out the usual RTS rules – no gathering, no zerging – just smart tactics and brutal, terrain-focused combat. Every squad matters, every explosion feels earned, and taking the map is the only way to win.

Plague Inc

11. Plague Inc

Plague Inc. hits different when the strategy you mastered for one plague falls apart with the next – and somehow, that failure feels great. Watching the world slowly fade into silence while you casually evolve brain-eating zombies is darkly satisfying.

Bad North

10. Bad North

Bad North combines minimalistic beauty with tight, satisfying RTS mechanics that are easy to pick up and hard to put down. It’s not packed with extras, but what’s here is polished and compelling.

Iron Marines

9. Iron Marines

Iron Marines is a polished RTS with great design, solid depth, and fun real-time battles tailored for mobile. It’s one of the better strategy games on iOS. We just wish it leaned less on in-app purchases.

Art of War 3

8. Art of War 3

Art of War 3 feels like a real RTS built for mobile – classic base-building, scouting, and PvP that rewards strategy over spending. With deep unit variety, balanced factions, and zero pay-to-win nonsense, it’s a rare gem for true strategy fans.

Age of Empires

7. Age of Empires Mobile

Age of Empires Mobile offers a solid mix of economy management and real-time strategy with polished mechanics and a satisfying aesthetic. It’s a fun pick for anyone who enjoys building up empires and outsmarting opponents on the go.

REDCON

6. REDCON

REDCON stands out for its tactical depth, gritty atmosphere, and the fun of customizing your fortress. With a wide range of weapons and solid progression, it keeps strategy fans coming back for more.

War Legends

5. War Legends

War Legends gives you a huge variety of items to customize your units and heroes, opening the door to unique strategies every match. It’s a skill-based game where your decisions, not luck, decide the outcome.

Rusted Warfare

4. Rusted Warfare

It may look old-school, but Rusted Warfare delivers fast, no-nonsense RTS action with real depth – no pay-to-win, no fluff, just pure strategy. Built by a solo dev, it still holds up with offline play, LAN, mods, and that “just one more match” feeling.

Mindustry

3. Mindustry

If you love factory games with a twist, Mindustry combines base-building, automation, and tower defense in a way that keeps you on your toes. It’s fast, surprisingly deep, and runs great on mobile – even offline.

Northgard

2. Northgard

Northgard slows things down in the best way – blending thoughtful strategy, survival mechanics, and Viking clan warfare. With changing seasons, unique clans, and ever-shifting maps, it’s a game that keeps every match fresh without overwhelming you.

Frostpunk Beyond the Ice

1. Frostpunk: Beyond the Ice

It might not hit as hard as the original, but Frostpunk: Beyond the Ice still captures that cold, high-stakes survival vibe. It’s a lighter, mobile-friendly take on city-building under pressure, perfect if you want that Frostpunk feel on the go.
