Ranked by votes this month, then lifetime votes, then live players. Sponsored rows are labelled and never take a rank.How rankings work
Mobile game genres
Strategy games(1)
Base building, real-time battles and long-term planning, usually with alliances and competitive seasons.
Idle and incremental games(1)
Progress continues while you are away; the game is in optimising upgrades and deciding when to reset for bonuses.
Competitive multiplayer(1)
Real-time matches against other players — card battlers, arena games and shooters.
Free-to-play games(1)
Free to download, funded by optional purchases. Reviews are the best guide to how hard a game pushes you to pay.
About Mobile Games on VoteRank
App store charts rank on downloads and spend, which is why the same live-service titles sit at the top of them for years. This list ranks on votes from people playing right now, so it moves — and it resets on the 1st of each month, which gives a game that has just launched or just fixed itself a real chance to place. Gacha, strategy, RPG, idle and competitive multiplayer titles all rank together, on iOS and Android. Reviews left on a listing carry more weight here than anywhere else on the site, because there is no live player count to check a game against.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the app store charts?
Store charts rank by downloads and spending. This list ranks by votes from players each month, so a game that has just launched or recently improved can climb quickly.
How often are the rankings updated?
Continuously. A vote changes the ranking the moment it is counted, and player counts are refreshed every few minutes. Monthly vote totals reset at 00:05 UTC on the 1st, so every list starts each month from zero and lifetime votes keep the order sensible until new votes come in.
