The range of Android games released in March had even more variety than thebest games of February. From the inevitable batch of ACA NeoGeo titles to digital board game adaptions, we’ve collected the month’s best games into today’s roundup.

There’s a game from nearly every genre here, but if you want more variety, check ourroundup of the best games on Android. However, we did see many strategy games released this month, so you may want toexplore our top Android tabletsif one catches your eye.

1Real Bout Fatal Fury Special

It wouldn’t be a new month of Android game releases without some new ACA NeoGeo ports. Fatal Fury Special is an updated version of Fatal Fury 2; it expands the roster and changes the gameplay. Notably, it allowed players to combine attacks for the first time, leading to more variety in fights. Its original release received overwhelmingly positive reviews, and now you can play it from your phone.

Like every other ACA NeoGeo game, Fatal Fury special is available for $3.99. It’s a stellar example of the Fatal Fury series, but if it doesn’t appeal to you, try some of thebest ACA Neo Geo games instead.

Volzerk is Monster Hunter crossed with Pokemon. While you’ll explore the world, slaughtering hapless creatures as you go, you’ll also spend time raising and breeding your own monsters. Its art style is reminiscent of Genshin Impact (although not quite as stunning). Monsters and characters can be swapped between at will, so you always have a variety of strategies at your fingertips.

Volzerk is free-to-play, but the major drawback is that buying additional heroes can only be done via in-game purchases. Fortunately, this doesn’t rely on a gacha system, and you can easily complete the game without buying anything.

3CrimeTrip

CrimeTrip is a unique AR game where you’ll solve six real cases from the 70s and 80s. Even true crime fans that know these cases by heart will enjoy solving the puzzles needed to crack the case. It’s not an exceptionally difficult game, but its atmosphere is spot on.

CrimeTrip is free to download, but you’ll need to make an in-app purchase to progress past the prologue of each case. It’s a great adventure game, but you’ll need to enjoy true crime stories to get the most out of it.

4Unmatched

Thebest board game adaptions on Androidoffer the same feel as the physical game, with the convenience of a video game. While the large amounts of prompts may be unnecessary for Unmatched veterans, the digital adaption is perfect for introducing new players. For veterans, the AI provides a good challenge for all skill levels, although you’ll want to play against another person for the best experience. It’s a game best played on tablets, as the amount of information on-screen is sometimes difficult to parse on a phone.

Unmatched is available for $7.99, and you can purchase individual characters via microtransactions.

5Stuffo the Puzzle Bot

Stuffo the Puzzle Bot is another hidden gem worth playing just for the excellent pixel art. However, if puzzles are what you’re here for, you won’t be disappointed. Each puzzle is relatively short, and with only 65 levels, you may whip through the game faster than expected. However, each one is a joy to solve, and the audio is exceptional. Stuffo makes bizarre but adorable squelching noises as they move around, and you certainly won’t want to mute the retro music.

Stuffo the Puzzle Bot is easily worth $3.49. The developers have promised more levels in the future, but there isn’t a timeframe for this yet.

6Mighty Doom

Mighty Doomnearly didn’t make it on this list, as it’s plagued with the same problems as its twin,Tomb Raider Reloaded. However, Mighty Doom is better executed and, most importantly, has a soundtrack equal to the mainline games.

You’ll have to put up with irritating microtransactions to enjoy Mighty Doom, but if you can stomach these, you can enjoy this brilliantly fast-paced top-down shooter. Justgrab a pair of the best headphonesbefore you start, then crank the volume as high as possible.

Another digital board game adaptation, Munchkin, is an excellent recreation of the tabletop card game. However, rather than replicating the board game feel, Munchkin recreates the experience through 2D art. It’s played exactly the same as the physical game, but much more fun to look at.

Munchkin is available to download for $9.99 with no in-app purchases. You can also play it via online multiplayer, cross-platform with the Steam and iOS versions.

8Settlement Survival

Settlement Survivallaunched with some disastrous bugs, but these were quickly ironed out. It has the same content as the PC version but is retooled slightly for mobile. While we think they could have optimized the UI more, this excellent city builder is great value for money.

Settlement Survival is available for $5.99 with no microtransactions. City builder fans must give it a go, but be warned that the lack of mobile optimization can sometimes be frustrating.

9Highwater

In our time with Highwater, we noted that this is easily one of thetop titles in Netflix Games' library. There are some rough spots in the dialogue, and users have pointed out bugs that prevent them from saving the game, but this is still one of thebest adventure games on Android. It’s even got controller support.

10Lucid Lenses

Lucid Lenses is technically in early access, but there’s already plenty in this romance adventure game to enjoy. It’s more of a visual novel than an adventure game, but the few minigames scattered throughout offer some variety. The watercolor art style also makes the whole experience a visual joy. Considering the subject matter, the narrative isn’t particularly heartbreaking, but some choices are genuinely tough to make.

Lucid Lenses is available for $3.99, and there are no microtransactions.
