Terraria

The essence of the open-world sandbox
A limitless world to discover in online co-op
A Minecraft-like side view

Play on PC

This title from 505 Games is the very essence of the open-world sandbox. All pixel art in side view, Terraria is a clever mix of survival, combat, exploration, crafting and construction in complete freedom. Its world is truly limitless, thanks to procedural generation. It brings together deep caverns, ruins, snowy plains, forests and thousands of unique environments.

Using certain items, you can even fly through its environments vertically in single-player or multiplayer. Build your own town to expand the game's scenery as you wish, or even mines in search of lost treasure.

In this ultra-original open world, you'll also need to collect resources, weapons and armour to go into battle and defeat the game's bosses. Terraria is obviously reminiscent of other mobile co-op games, especially Minecraft, with a side view that's superbly adapted to the mobile format, which I recommend you try out if you haven't yet given the game a go.

Terraria is available on Android and iOS for $5.50. And for even more open world games, check out our top open world mobile games!

Such is the case with Goose Goose Duck. Enter a world of social deduction between little geese to unmask ugly ducks. And it's free!

Mysterium

An excellent adaptation of the board game of the same name
A focus on teamwork
Unique atmosphere
Online co-op

Play on PC

You might not think about it enough, but the collection of board games available on mobile phones is impressive. In fact, there are too many to recommend. In our list of the best mobile games for co-op is Mysterium! This asymmetric co-op game sends you into a manor haunted by a ghost. All but one of the players in the game take on the role of psychics, who try to make contact with the ghost over the course of an evening, in order to free him. The last player plays the ghost directly. The ghost is haunted by his brutal death by murder and has to get the psychics to guess the circumstances of his death, including a culprit, a location and a weapon, in a slightly Cluedo vibe.

To do this, the ghost is not allowed to speak. He can only communicate with strange images reminiscent of Dixit cards, and it's up to the psychics to interpret them correctly. There's plenty of fun to be had, teamwork is at its best and you can really change the atmosphere of the game or the difficulty of the game when you change ghosts.

Mysterium, undoubtedly one of the highest quality mobile co-op games, is available for $3.50 on store shelves.

But what exactly are mobile co-op games?

Cooperative mobile games, also known as mobile co-op games, feature a mode that allows several players to join in a single game. In most titles of this kind, the aim of the multiplayer (or co-op) mode is to help each other achieve an objective: defeating a boss, collecting resources, crafting items, and so on.

There are two versions of mobile games with friends. The first is local co-op mobile games, a multiplayer mode involving a degree of proximity between players. We recommend this type of multiplayer if you're looking for mobile games for two, to be played as a couple, for example. Online co-op mobile games simply require an internet connection and your own game. You can then play with friends, wherever they are in the world.

Mobile co-op games also come in a wide range of genres: survival games, RPGs, strategy games, puzzle games, etc. There really is something for everyone, and we've tried to give you as wide a selection as possible. What's more, if you're looking for a massively multiplayer RPG, you can take a look at our top mobile MMORPGs!
