Sometimes all you really want to do to release frustration with the real world is bash the hell out of someone in a video game. For those moments, we'd recommend these Android fighting games.
Why We Love Android Games
When it comes to mobile gaming, Android no longer finds itself in the shadow cast by the iPhone.

Real Boxing 2 Rocky
For anyone that wants a little more realism in their fighting game - whether you're a boxing fan or not - Real Boxing 2 is well worth downloading.
How you tap or swipe the screen dictates what sort of swing you'll take at your opponent, which works pretty neatly. Swiping upwards on the right side of the screen, for example, will deliver a right-handed uppercut, while swiping sideways on the right side will deliver a body blow.

Working your way through the bouts will eventually lead you towards a face-off with Rocky Balboa, but the main appeal of the game is levelling up your fighter's skills and then taking those online and using them against other real-life opponents.

Mortal Kombat X
Mortal Kombat is another fighting series that's stood the test of time, and this iteration brings it in-line with the mechanics for other mobile fighting games, by simplifying the controls and adding in a granular upgrade system.
Naturally, you'll find all the characters you know and love from previous Mortal Kombat games across different platforms from the past, and it keeps all the gore and 'fatality' moves that you'd expect from a Mortal Kombat game too.

Attacking is reduced to tapping the screen, which activates combos of moves, plus you also have special moves which are activated after a successful combo. Rather than offering up the standard one-on-one format, each battle is a team of three fighters pitted against another trio of computer or human-controlled players.
With plenty of different game modes and the need to level up your teams and characters, there's plenty to get stuck in with in Mortal Kombat X. If you'd rather play with the same sort of game mechanics (tapping and swiping to pull off moves) but would prefer the DC Comics universe of characters, then check out Injustice: God Among Us instead.
