5 Must-Try New Action Games for Android for Gamers
November has been a huge month for action games on Android. In the space of two weeks, the Play Store has gained a lightweight battle royale, a dark fantasy RPG, a bullet-heaven spin-off, a roguelite brawler and an open-world hunting epic. Here are five new action games for Android that are worth your time — all released in the last few weeks, all verified on their official Google Play listings.
Each game below links to its official Play Store page, so you can check the price, the size and the latest reviews before you download. A note on honesty: the listings for these games do not state whether they work offline, so we are not claiming offline play for any of them. They are all online-focused games, and you should expect to need an internet connection.

1. Monster Hunter Outlanders — free
Monster Hunter Outlanders on Google Play — TiMi Studio Group's open-world hunting game, officially licensed by Capcom, is the biggest launch on this list. You explore Aesoland, track monsters, craft gear from what you hunt, and team up with three friends for four-player co-op hunts. Your Palico-style Buddies fight beside you, and the world is genuinely worth wandering. Why it is worth downloading: it is the most faithful Monster Hunter experience ever put on a phone, and it is free. Just make sure you have around 16 GB of free storage first.
2. UnGodly — free
UnGodly on Google Play — Azra Games' dark fantasy action RPG launched on 11 November, and it is the most polished combat on this list. Real-time battles, hero swapping mid-fight, and a gothic world that looks like it belongs on a console. The studio was founded by Mark Otero, the creator of Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, and the ambition shows. Why it is worth downloading: if you want action RPG combat with real depth and a striking visual identity, this is the new standard on Android.
3. Warhammer Survivors — $7.19 launch price
Warhammer Survivors on Google Play — Auroch Digital's bullet-heaven survival game brings the Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar universes to the survivors-like genre, with more than 40 characters and 75 weapons to unlock. The launch price is $7.19, a 10% discount on the usual $7.99 until 17 November, and there are no ads and no energy mechanics. Why it is worth downloading: it is a premium game with a one-time price, and the Warhammer setting gives the familiar survivors formula a fresh coat of paint.
4. Absolum — $8.99
Absolum on Google Play — Dotemu's roguelite beat-'em-up, ported to mobile by Playdigious, launched on 5 November for $8.99, down from the usual $11.99. You brawl through a hand-drawn fantasy world, die, upgrade and try again, with cross-progression to PC through Google Play Games. Why it is worth downloading: it is a complete premium game with no ads or timers, and the hand-drawn art is among the best on the store right now.
5. PUBG Mobile Flash — free
PUBG Mobile Flash on Google Play — Level Infinite's lightweight PUBG Mobile client launched today, 13 November, with an initial download under 0.96 GB on Android. Erangel comes pre-installed, your account, friends and items carry over from standard PUBG Mobile, and cross-play works between the two apps. Why it is worth downloading: if your phone has ever struggled with the full game, Flash is the same battle royale in a package that fits almost any modern Android phone.

How to choose and download safely
Five games, five different prices and sizes — so how do you pick? Start with the free ones: Monster Hunter Outlanders, UnGodly and PUBG Mobile Flash cost nothing to try, so download the one that matches your taste and play it for an hour before deciding whether it is for you. For the paid games, check the size and the refund window first. Google Play allows refunds within 48 hours of purchase in most cases, so a game you do not enjoy is not money lost — but only if you act quickly.
Always download from the official Google Play listing, never from an APK mirror site. The links in this article go straight to the official listings, and that is the only place you should get these games. Unofficial copies can carry malware, steal your account, or simply not work — and they will never receive updates. If a deal looks too good to be true, or a site asks you to sideload a file to get a paid game for free, walk away.
Finally, check your storage before you download. Monster Hunter Outlanders needs around 16 GB, UnGodly needs nearly 4 GB on iOS, and even the lightweight PUBG Mobile Flash will grow as you download extra maps. A quick clear-out of old photos, unused apps and cached files will save you a failed download halfway through.
