Android gaming is getting bigger and better every month it seems and there is always a slew of new titles coming to Google Play. Whether you’re a casual gamer or you want something with a beat more meat on its bones, there’s usually a game coming out to suit everyone’s taste. Let’s take a look at the best new Android games from 2017
Combat Squad is a new, online FPS game. It's about as good as a young mobile FPS game can be. Its hallmark features include online multiplayer. Players can do one vs one, five vs five, and choose from seven multiplayer game types. The graphics are Unreal Engine 4 and it has other features as well. It's not too bad. However, it's definitely not quite where Critical Ops or Modern Combat are yet. FPS fans should be able to enjoy this for a little while at least.

Framed 2 is the next title in one of the better puzzle games in recent memory. Each scene in the game is shown in a variety of panels. Your goal is to arrange the panels to change the outcome of the story. There is a noir theme, simple graphics, and a fun premise. It also has a story line for players to copmlete. It's an excellent play. However, it is suffering from some framerate bugs. That'll likely get fixed in a future update.

Kraken Land is a new runner and platformer. It features retro style 3D graphics and an easy premise. You'll run through a bunch of different levels while overcoming a bunch of different obstacles. You can also wipe out enemies, use various objects, and a lot more. It also includes a lot of the typical runner stuff like power ups, leaderboards, and more. It's a freemium platformer and it plays like one. However, it can be fun for a bit.

Titanfall: Assault is the latest game in the FPS franchise. Unfortunately, this one isn't a first-person shooter. This one is a real-time strategy game. It includes card collecting mechanics, live combat with online opponents, and more. There are also social features like guilds. You'll get cards that you use in combat to give you an advantage. You can probably already see where the freemium part can get a little annoying. The combat mechanics are more interesting than most games in this space, though.

Voletarium: Sky Explorers is a new adventure game. Two characters want to learn what happened to their ancestors. Thus, they build flying machines to find them. Your goal will be to fly around, collect various machine parts, and build your own flying machine. There is actually a real life version of this in Europa Park in Germany. Those who make it out there can try a VR experience as well. It's a neat little game that doesn't cost a lot to play.
