Posted: 05 Feb 2013 11:32 PM PST

Turn-based strategy games have always been popular amongst hardcore gamers and casual gamers alike. One of the reasons for that is these games give the player a realistic feeling of a battle or a conquest. Also, they remind users of many old-school games like chess, monopoly etc. No wonder big franchises like Sid Meier's Civilization and Heroes of Might and Magic have amassed huge success thanks to their popularity. On Windows, and on many other platforms too, there is a dearth of good titles in this genre. Likewise, if you see on Linux, there are only a handful of good titles, the best of which we've listed in our earlier article (see: 5 Best Free/Open-source Turn-based Strategy Games for Linux).

On Android, however, there are a lot of great turn-based strategy games available for download and purchase. These games give you a realistic turn-by-turn gameplay experience making you really rack your brains for your next strategy. In this article, we have compiled a list of the best turn-based strategy games for Android.
