Strengths and weaknesses
Old School RuneScape
- Same worlds and progress as the PC game
- Small app that runs on modest phones
- No ads, and bonds let you pay with in-game gold
- Dated graphics, by design
- Fiddly menus on small screens
- Membership needed for much of the game
Old School RuneScape is the full desktop MMO on your phone, with the same worlds and account as the PC version. Train 24 skills, quest, raid, or just fish while the TV is on, and vote on what gets added next. The Sailing skill opened up the seas in late 2025. The free world is generous, but much of the game sits behind membership, and right-click-style menus are fiddly on a small screen.

Diablo Immortal
- Excellent touch controls and combat feel
- Lots of free story content
- Plays with friends on PC
- Endgame power is heavily tied to spending
- Rated 18+ on the App Store
- Privacy label lists broad tracking
Diablo Immortal nails the core Diablo feeling on a touchscreen: smash demons, watch loot pour out, repeat. Ten classes, including 2026's Warlock, plus a full campaign, dungeons, raids and PvP keep you busy, and you can play alongside friends on PC. The story is fine for free players, but endgame power leans on Legendary Gems that are expensive to upgrade. Enjoy the ride and stop before the shop.
