Augmented reality is becoming part of the gaming world more and more, just as much as virtual reality. In fact, there are a lot of AR games for mobile phones that you might be missing out on. So, here is a couple that you could be interested in.
1. The Walking Dead: Our World
The 2010's hit series has a huge fanbase, and it has seen such a big success that it also spawned its own video game. Although the show has already ended, you can experience it again by putting yourself in their shoes as you play the zombie-shooting AR game.
The game will use Google Maps and augmented reality for the gameplay. You'll be shooting zombies in various places like the park or the supermarket. You'll be using guns and grenades, and even ask help from characters like Rick, Michonne, and Daryl.
2. Reality Clash: AR Combat Game
This game uses GPS and a network connection, so make sure you're connected to the internet when you play it. It's a free game and it will be based on real-time movements and live battles. A 3D map site will be rendered based on your surroundings, and other players will appear as foes on your screen.
3. Ghosts 'n Guns AR
If you're into typical arcade games you might've grown up with, then this game might just get you hooked. You'll be fighting pixel ghosts in real-life space as seen on your phone screen. It has one-touch controls so you won't have to worry about complicated controls.
You will be fighting bosses to win, and you'll go through levels to keep things interesting. There is a Game Center so you can compare your high scores with your friends or other players, according to Sensorium, so you can beat their scores.
4. Zombie Gunship Revenant AR
Here's another zombie-themed AR game for you. Zombie Gunship Revenant lets you go all out and shoot zombies from the perspective of looking through a heat signature scope. Your point of view will be from above like you're riding an aircraft as you decimate the undead. All you have to do is move your phone around to aim.
5. Father.io
Here's a good way for you to enjoy a game while you're moving about. Father.io is a multiplayer game where you can play in an area as if in a real battle, and you'll use your phone as your scope and gun. You can choose between different weapons as well.
The downside is, you'll need an additional AR device called Inceptor to enhance gameplay, according to App Stir. If you want to play with your friend and you manage to convince them to buy an Inceptor as well, the extra device might just be worth it.
6. RealTag
RealTag is kind of like Father.io, except you won't need any additional device to play it. It has basic controls too, with on-screen buttons like scope, shoot, flashlight (which turns on your device's flashlight), and voice chat so you can speak with other players. You'll also need a network connection to play the game.
