Top 7 Best Local Multiplayer Android Games In 2022

Local multiplayer is one of the best ways to play multiplayer games on Android, as it allows players to play against each other locally without having to rely on the internet. There are two types of local multiplayer - the first is over WiFi or Bluetooth and the second is entirely offline. In this article, we are going to showcase a list of the best local multiplayer Android games you can try in 2022.

1. Terraria

Terraria is more or less a fusion of Minecraft and Metroid. It's a 2D Action-Platformer, bullet hell, survival game in a procedurally generated world. Similar to Minecraft, Terraria features different Biomes, Mobs, Bosses, a slew of mechanics and most importantly… loot. There is a lot of loot hidden everywhere in the world, as boss drops, rare drops... etc.

It also has crafting and building mechanics, just like Minecraft. Your gear gradually improves as you progress for you to be able to face even more dangerous enemies. The best part is that players can play with up to 7 friends on Local Wifi or Online via device-device Wifi-hosted games.

2. Among Us

Among Us is one of the viral hit games in 2020 and it is still pretty popular to this day. In this game, a group of up to 15 players needs to prepare a spaceship for departure. However, some of the ship's crew are imposters who are trying to kill everyone. The crew needs to figure out the killer before it is too late.

Players can play Among Us online or over local WiFi connections (no outside Internet connection required). It also has cross-platform play between Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

3. Badland

Badland is a classic platformer title and one of the older games on this list. The story of Badland is set in a gorgeous forest full of various inhabitants, trees and flowers. Although the forest appears to be right out of a beautiful fairy tale, there's something terribly wrong. The player controls one of the forest dwellers to find out what's going on, and discovers an astonishing number of imaginative traps and obstacles on the way.

Badland supports up to four players on the same device. The game also has a level editor, full controller support, cloud saving, and more.

4. Chess by AI Factory Limited

Chess is one of the most popular multiplayer games in real life... and its gameplay translates pretty well to local multiplayer games for Android. There are many chess games on the Google Play Store, but Chess by AI Factory Limited is probably amongst the best. The game has good graphics and controls, alongside pass-and-play local multiplayer.

5. Annelids: Online battle

Annelids: Online battle is a great artillery game inspired by the Worms franchise. In this game, players control worms and make them fight in a fully destructible underground world. There are a lot of game modes to choose from, including Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Conquest, King of the Hill, and more.

Besides offline single player with AI, players can also PVP and Coop with up to 6 players using Online and Bluetooth multiplayer.

6. Farming Simulator 18

It is actually pretty surprising that a game like Farming Simulator 18 has a local multiplayer mode. You and your friends can manage the same farm, connecting over WiFi or Bluetooth and hang out.

The gameplay of Farming Simulator is pretty much what it says on the tin. It includes 50 farming vehicles, various crops to grow, and all kinds of other things to do. Players can immerse themselves in a huge open world and harvest many types of crops, take care of their livestock - cows, sheep, and pigs. Afterward, sell their products on a dynamic market to expand the farm.

7. Minecraft

Minecraft is one of the most popular games on any platform. One of the reasons behind its popularity is its versatility - there are single and multiplayer options, including local multiplayer. Players can join their friends in local multiplayer Android games sessions easily.

In this game, players explore infinite worlds and build everything from the simplest of homes to the grandest of castles. They can play in creative mode with unlimited resources or mine deep into the world in survival mode, crafting weapons and armor to fend off dangerous mobs.
