Ashes Cricket was, indeed, the first realistic cricket video game released on major gaming consoles (with a PC release coming soon). But on other platforms, the situation is far from being so dire. Aside from Cricket Star, the mobile slot that made thousands of fans join the fun of the biggest cricket online casino game of the year in 2015, there are several games that offer a pretty complex cricket experience on Android phones for you to try. Let us take a look at some of them today.
World Cricket Championship 2
A game that will satisfy every cricket fan’s needs. World Cricket Championship 2 has realistic visuals, intense 3D graphics, beautiful animations, and well thought-out controls. The goal of the developer, Next Value Multimedia, was to capture the authentic experience of playing cricket. It comes with several tournaments, including the World Cup, the T20 Cup, blitz tournaments, and test cricket, several stadiums and team jerseys, and more.
The game has over 10 million installs recorded on Google Play and more than 1 million five-star ratings. Download it here.
Real Cricket™ 17
Real Cricket™ 17 is another realistic cricket game available on Android-powered smartphones and tablet computers. Built by Nautilus Mobile, the makers of the award-winning 2D RPG platformer Song of Swords, the game claims to be the “most complete” of all cricket-inspired mobile games released. It comes with Premier League auctions, test match, Champions Cup, all major T20 tournaments, and multiplayer options that include player-vs-player batting showdown. It even has a cricket quiz in it to learn some useful cricket trivia.
With more than 10 million downloads and over 450,000 four- and five-star reviews, it’s a game you might want to try. Download it here.
World of Cricket
AppOn, the developer behind World of Cricket, did not have a lot of experience in sports simulators when creating World of Cricket – so, the game is a lot more casual than the ones above. Yet it still comes with lots of challenging shots, various game modes ranging from quick play and tournaments, over 25 batting shots, diving catches, and quick throws, intuitive controls, and immersive sound effects – including professional commentary.
World of Cricket is a relative newcomer with over 1 million installs and around 15,000 four- and five-star reviews. Give it a try – download it here.
