If you ❤️ to build
Building your base, defending it and sending out troops to crush your opponent’s hopes of domination can be a hugely satisfying and almost cathartic experience. You’ll probably be familiar with some of the biggest games in the genre already (think Clash of Clans and SimCity BuildIt) but if not, you can find these at the bottom of this story.
Let’s dive deeper into the genre with our collection of some of the best base building games on the App Store. Your toughest choice is where to begin.
Grab your Stetson
Settling in the Wild West, fighting off troublesome bandits and building bonfires are sure-fire ways to experience truly adventurous base building. Westland Survival - Cowboy RPG asks one important question of you: can you handle the reins in this cowboy experience?
Build a Gaulish village
Join forces for an epic base building adventure with the heroes of the famous comics in Asterix and Friends. Construct one of the greatest bases in European history, go on quests, battle the Roman Empire and after all that exertion, rustle up delicious meals.
Fight the undead
Part turn-based strategy, part board game and part base building: The Walking Dead No Man’s Land offers a solid blend of genres. Meet and collect the iconic characters from the popular TV show and get into survival mode, quick.
Survive in the jungle
Not all that into the medieval warfare themes commonplace in the most popular games in this genre? Replace them with wild jungles and military bases in Jungle Heat. The app also lets you fight against players on other platforms.
Live the apocalypse
If you want to add more zombies to your life, then Last Day on Earth should be on your list of to-play titles. Build a base and scavenge for supplies to help you craft and improve your home’s defences.
Be a creative star
Building a base and battling for survival is all well and good, but there’s more to life. How about a more social experience where you create games and share them? Time then, for a visit to BlockStarPlanet.
Manage your time (in space)
A looming alien invasion, a broken base and a ticking clock. If building your base under pressure while enjoying minimalistic design sounds like a dream come true, venture no further than rymdkapsel.
Try a sandbox experience
Viking Village, a mix of classic real-time strategy and 3D base building, challenges you to survive for 20 days. But don’t fret, if you prefer to just build, there’s a mode for that too.
Earn your victory
What’s in a name? In the case of Gladiator Heroes - Clans Clash, a lot: the game is exactly as the title suggests. There’s less focus on your base and more on dramatic arena fights, with or without augmented reality.
