Top 8 best hacking games for Android phones and tablets

The landing spot on our best hack games for mobile belongs to Hacking Hero. It might seem pretty simple and cute at first glance, but there are quite a few layers to it. You can recruit various hackers from around the world to help you out and collect resources to upgrade your powers.

Hacking Hero does alright in the visual department, with pretty simple but colourful graphics that kindly remind you not to take it too seriously. It's a game worth playing, both if you want something to immerse into or if you're just looking for something a tad bit more casual.

The game is a fun simulation that gives you a pretty genuine (but a little bit tuned-up) experience of how hacking can actually work. In reality, it is nowhere as cool and sleek looking as it's portrayed in mainstream media. However, with The Lonely Hacker, you get some accurate details, such as data mining, cryptocurrency mining, and more.

You also have some real-life locations that you can try to hack your way into, for even more exciting content. And to prove that the developer thought of everything, you'll have some minigames as a bonus for when you want to try something other than your 'job'!

Really interesting combination of a life simulator with elements of hacking and programming. You can choose the role of a dark hacker, which will have to install malware and spyware and end up hacking entire state's systems. However, as a counter role, you can be a white-hat hacker who will protect websites and banks from the same type of spyware, malware and DDoS attacks.

Of course, it's just a game (so no real threat comes of it, don't worry!) but it's pretty intense and feels genuine. It's one of the best Android hacking games, so make sure you give it a try.

The story of Hacker starts like one of those teen movies. You're a talented kid who leaped into a world of crime, thinking that you can get away with it. However, they don't say that crime doesn't pay for no reason. You got caught, and policemen gave you a simple choice. Either you'll work for them, or they'll lock you up. Being a smart kid, you took this opportunity, and now you're going to catch criminals all around the world.

Behind this cliche story lies clicker gameplay, where you'll just have to click around the options given, without having to think about your actions too much. It's a no-brainer, but it's just a hacking game after all. Not a real deal.

'Hackers' is all about building and refining your very own network with clever 3D graphics, various tools, and mandatory malware programs. It's probably one of the weirdest feeling hacking games out there, but that makes it unique in its own way.

We'd recommend playing it on a tablet, to really enjoy all the detailed elements it has to offer. Think of it as a cyber base builder game without the buildings and more emphasis on destroying the other players' networks. Pretty neat, huh?

More or less, this is a real-life hacker simulator. You will have to make sure that your actions remain hidden at all times and try to divert attention from yourself by having a regular day job. Most of the game consists of walking on that thin thread of risking too much for big gains, or risking little and getting less reputation, as well as earning fewer Bitcoins.

There are a few different storylines involved, so taking the different paths is worthwhile. It's a straightforward title, and if you're interested in the role of a hacker, you won't find many better hacking games on Android.

Into the Deep Web made it to the list because of its unique way of portraying a hacking game. You'll try to uncover various Illuminati conspiracy theories and otherworldly secrets. It's a clicker game, so you can expect to use not only your brain to solve the puzzles but also your mad tapping skills.

It might not offer such a true experience as other titles on this list do, but the alluring and dark stories featured here make it something to behold! Are there any other hacking games for Android phones and tablets that you really enjoyed, but haven't found on this list? Let us know in the comments below!

Of course, it's another hacking game, not the real thing. What differentiates it from other similar titles is the ability to connect with your friends and play, all while communicating. Don't forget to clear your activity from your in-game logs, as you'll be doing a lot of shady stuff.

You will be accessing other people's devices, getting to know other hackers, and also taking some measures to protect your own assets...All with one click of a finger.
