Halo Wars vs N.O.V.A. Legacy
Halo Wars
Halo Wars is the MMORTS spin-off that was inspired by the popular sci0fi shooter franchise, Halo. However, unlike a shooter, this time around you can choose to side with either the Covenant or the UNSC as they raise armies and battle each other on the battlefield. The game feels a lot like any other great MMORTS games, like Starcraft, but although the game supports keyboard controls, you might still want to plug in a controller because... well Halo is an XBox-exclusive series and as you might expect, its spin-offs are pretty much the same thing.The best part though is its multiplayer aspect. You can choose to play cooperatively with friends against a super strong AI in the campaign or you can go online and engage in intense, action-packed warfare with other players from all over the world through the versus game mode. However, a quick note though, waiting for its random matchmaking to find an opponent will take quite some time. So, if possible, go and meet your fellow players and add a couple of them as friends. At least when you want to play a game, you won't have to wait too long for one.
N.O.V.A. Legacy
N.O.V.A. Legacy is among the best sci-fi-themed MMOFPS game on mobile of all time and it has inspired a popular new franchise, N.O.V.A. as well. In this game, you play as Kal Wardin, a veteran N.O.V.A. marine, who have been drafted once again into the Colonial Administration forces to fight against the alien invaders that threaten the whole of humanity. The game provides players with a wide variety of PvE game modes to play in, including an offline story mode, Shadow Missions where you get to fight aliens on a limited time battlefield, and Special Ops that pits you against various unique alien formations.N.O.V.A. Legacy also has a multiplayer mode that will allow you fight against other human players in exciting 4-vs-4 team deathmatches or the last-person-stading deathmatch. In addition to crafting and upgrading your weapons, customizing your character's Mobile Armored Suit is very easy and in-depth as well.

When it comes to multiplayer shooters on the mobile platform, there are only a few that can go as far as to claim that it plays just like a console game - this game is definitely one of them. Granted that the graphics isn't as great as marketed, but the gameplay is amazing and you even get an offline story-based missions on this free-to-play app! It is as good as it gets!
