Best MMORPG Smartphone Games for 2017

2016 saw the arrival of a whole new generation of games to the Android mobile gaming space – MMORPG. The term means “Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games”. These games have become so popular that every online advertising channel – be it YouTube videos, or Facebook and Instagram feeds – turns up an MMORPG ad every few minutes.

The main reason behind the popularity of these games is the presence of human competition, which makes gaming more personal. Every individual you meet in the fictional game world has a unique back story and you have an opportunity to fight it out for proving the Darwinian theory – survival of the fittest.

Here we list, 5 of the most exciting online MMORPG games for Android smartphones.

1. Final Fantasy:
