4. Clash of Clans
Perhaps the most successful online strategy game on Android as well as iOS. Clash of Clans was responsible for taking the Supercell studio high.

8. Kingdom Rush Frontiers
An award-winning mobile tower defense game, Kingdom Rush Frontiers is one of the few paid titles on our list.

9. UniWar
A turn-based game, UniWar is a title that says a kind of "modern chess". Easy to learn but hard to master, it features three different races to choose from and command in a 21-stage campaign, as well as doubles, trios or foursome matches.

Another of the paid games on our list, Breach & Clear also exchanges gigantic armies for just one special operations squad.

The game features real-world squads, and though it's turn-based, the actions of your characters and opponents are executed simultaneously, requiring planning and the ability to predict opponents' actions.
12. Clash of Mafias
A sort of Clash of Clans from the criminal world, Clash of Mafias has similar mechanics, but uses and abuses comic characters.

15. Star Trek: Timelines
This is for Star Trek fans who frequent our page.

18. 1942: Pacific Front
Direct sequel to predecessor, 1942: Pacific Front also deserves mention for its difference from the other.
