Dead by Daylight Mobile

Price: Free to play

Dead by Daylight Mobile is a surprisingly fun game. It’s an asymmetrical PvP game where four players duke it out with a single player. The solo player is a monster with several special abilities to give them an edge over their opponents. The game gets consistent updates with balance changes and such so nothing stays the same for too long. The movement controls and mechanics are solid as well. The game suffers from the occasional server issue and it may run poorly on old or low end devices so beware of that.




Dead Effect 2

Price: Free to play

Dead Effect 2 is a creepy sci-fi shooter. You play the role of one of three characters. Your goal is to level up, find new weapons, and defeat the bad guys. It features tons of alien bad guys, lots of dark corridors, and a 20-hour campaign mode to play through. The graphics are pretty good on their own. However, they do get a boost if you’re using an Nvidia Shield device. It’s not typically what you’d think of when it comes to horror games. However, it’s about as close to a horror shooter as it gets on mobile.




Distraint: Deluxe Edition

Price: Free / Up to $4.49

Distraint is one of the newer horror games. It features hand-drawn graphics and a simple premise. The controls are very simple and you should be able to learn them quickly. It doesn’t typically rely on classic horror elements like jump scares. Instead, it tries to creep you out with its story line. In fact, it bills itself as a psychological horror game. It’s a bit short and you should finish the game in a few hours. The Deluxe Edition is a bit more expensive than the normal version, but it includes a bunch of extra stuff. Distraint: Deluxe Edition is also free on Google Play Pass if you use it.




Eyes

Price: Free / Up to $4.99

Eyes is a decent overall horror escape game. You break into a mansion to explore it and end up getting chased by a monster. The game includes multiple levels to unlock, a couple of game modes, offline support, and global leaderboards via Google Play Games. The controls and graphics are quite nice and everything played fine. We didn’t find it overly scary but the atmosphere is dark and creepy so it’s a fun play overall. Eyes is also free via Google Play Pass if you have it.

Five Nights at Freddy’s series

Price: $2.99 each

The Five Nights at Freddy’s titles are a series of highly popular horror games. They rely on the classic jump scare. Your job is to sit somewhere and keep an eye out for living robots. They are, of course, trying to kill you. You win the game if you can survive. There is also a healthy amount of lore and story. These games have quite the following on YouTube as well so there is a bunch of content to watch there. There are several games in total to play through. The mechanics vary between the games. However, the core premise remains the same. Each game is $2.99. The series has a loyal following, even if the games aren’t the biggest deal like they used to be.
