10 best life simulator games for Android! - Android

Life simulator games are fun if you like sim life. There are a bunch of options on Android and here are the best ones.

A life simulator is quite the niche genre. They are generally games where you control someone’s or something’s entire life. It can vary greatly depending on one’s own definition. The Sims, for instance, is a classic life simulator. However, Tamagotchi is technically one as well except it’s a pet’s life instead of a person’s life. In any case, there are a ton of riffs and variants to the genre and, thus, a ton of games to choose from. Here are the best life simulator games for Android! We also have a general list of best simulation games here as well!

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp

Price: Free to play

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is one of Nintendo’s biggest properties and it fulfills most of the requirements for a life sim. The game drops you onto a deserted island and you create your own little space there. Players can design their campsites however they want, collect various items, craft various things, and collect well over 1,000 pieces of furniture, clothing, and other accessories. It’s an excellent time waster from Nintendo even if it pales in comparison to the Nintendo Switch version. You can find even more games like this one here.

AltLife

Price: Free to play

AltLife is a full life simulator by the genre’s very definition. You start life as a baby and work your way up through adulthood and on to death. Players choose things like careers, relationships, activities, and various other things. You can even have kids, grandchildren, and all kinds of other things. There are some downsides to the game. For instance, you can’t keep going as one of your grandchildren after you die and some of the UI elements are a bit clunky from time to time. However, this is one of the better examples of life simulator games on mobile.

BitLife

Price: Free to play

BitLife is AltLife’s biggest competitor and the two games play very similarly. Your character is born, it lives, it grows up, it makes decisions, and it eventually dies. You can go the classic route of college, career, and marriage or descend into a life of crime. The choice is yours. This one is a text style game similar to AltLife so everything takes place in text format with no graphics. However, in return, you get a life simulator that swings among the best. There are some bugs, though, and it can be annoying on occasion.

From Zero to Hero: Cityman

Price: Free to play

From Zero to Hero: Cityman is a life sim, but it only takes place in adulthood. Players start out as a nearly homeless dude with no money and must build him back up to success. The guy starts out by getting a job, earning some money, and improving things like their wardrobe selection. You can also send your homeless dude to college, trade in the stock market, and do other things to make money. It doesn’t go from life til death like many, but its focus on a specific part of life gives it a bit more granularity in that space.

Godus

Price: Free to play

Godus is an interesting game. You don’t life a specific life with only one person. Instead, you live the life of a god. The game starts with a small society trying to build itself out and you can help or hinder the progress as you see fit. Some of the options include natural disasters, helping citizens build various dwellings, or performing miracles. When you’re done, you can simply wipe out the civilization and call it a day. This one has its ups and downs, but it’s generally a solid title overall.

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery

Price: Free to play

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is a simulation game that takes place at Hogwarts. You enroll as a student, pick your house, and, well, go to school. Players learn how to concoct potions, cast spells, and do all kinds of other things. The character then duels with other wizards and stuff like that. There are a variety of ways to customize your character’s appearance and dorm room along with some relationship stuff, magical creatures to befriend, and more. The game was maligned quite a bit for its free to play elements when it first came out. Those elements still aren’t great, but the game has somewhat improved.

Home Street

Price: Free to play

Home Street is very similar to The Sims. Players create a character, build a house, and live in it. There are a variety of activities to do, including hanging out with friends, accessorizing your character, and customizing your house. You can also sell your house to buy a bigger house later and do all sorts of little things like guest starring on live TV or starting a business. It’s not perfect, but it competes favorably with EA’s The Sims on mobile platforms.
