Best Free Sports Games on Mobile, Ranked by Our Scores
Retro Bowl is the best free sports game on a phone by a full point — 8.5 on our scores, against 7.5 for the runner-up — and it wins by leaving things






Gungrave G.O.R.E. is Iggymob's 2022 third-person shooter — Beyond the Grave, the Cerberus pistols, a coffin for melee, waves of Raven Clan gunmen on the island of Scumland — in its Ultimate Enhanced Edition, on iOS and Android since June 2026 through the Crunchyroll Game Vault. It is not for sale: it runs only with a Crunchyroll Mega Fan or Ultimate Fan membership, $13.99 a month on the App Store. Reviews say the shooting is good and the model is backwards.
Specs come from the official store listings and were last checked on 2026-09-21. Developers change pricing and requirements — check the store page before installing.
The game underneath is a cult console shooter with a simple thesis: shoot everything, never stop moving, chain it into a score. Beyond the Grave — the undead gunslinger from the 2002 original — returns to Scumland, where the drug SEED has built the Raven Clan, and joins Mika's El-Al Canhel to wipe it out. Combat is the Cerberus twin pistols at range, Demolition Shots for crowds, and a coffin swung at close quarters; stages are corridors and arenas built for maximum destruction, and the UEE — Ultimate Enhanced Edition — is the version that patched the 2022 release into shape. A June 25 App Store five-star finds the graphics some of the best on a phone and the gameplay polished; a June 23 four-star likes the play and calls the sound real bad. Rated Mature 17+ and 18+, in English only.
The most-voted Google Play review, June 4, 2026 with 22 helpful votes, is the argument in full: an offline, story-driven, single-player game should not be locked behind an online, ongoing subscription — for a premium game, let me pay once. Nearly every other visible review says the same in worse temper: an August 30 one-star that Crunchyroll cannot copy Netflix with a fraction of the catalogue, June one-stars on the App Store calling it deceptive for not saying so before the download, an August 17 review that wants this game and no anime, and a June 23 loading-screen hang on an iPhone 16 Pro Max. Crunchyroll replies to each with the same paragraph about the Game Vault. The numbers follow: 2.9 from 383 Play reviews with 10,000-plus installs, 4.1 from 32 App Store ratings. Version 1.3 on Android dates from June 18 and 1.0.1 on iOS from June 23, with no update since.
There is no price for the game because there is no purchase. Both listings open with Membership Required — exclusive to Crunchyroll Mega Fan and Ultimate Fan memberships — and the App Store's only in-app purchase is Mega Fan Monthly at $13.99; Google Play lists items from $9.99 to $179.99, which are the membership terms. For a subscriber it is an extra with no ads and no further purchases; for anyone else it is $13.99 a month to play a single-player game that sells outright on PC and consoles. The install is 3.3 GB on iPhone and needs iOS 17 or newer; Android needs 10 or newer. Google's data-safety card shows App activity and Device IDs collected. The store pages do not mention controller support. Membership prices vary by region and tier.

A 5.5 for a loud, competent console shooter delivered in the one form its players do not want: a monthly anime subscription with no buy button. Take it if you already pay for Crunchyroll and want a stylish action game on a recent phone. Skip it if you would be subscribing for this alone — the top review's request to pay once is the right one, and PC and consoles still honour it.
The game itself is a single-player campaign, but it opens with a Crunchyroll login that verifies the membership — a June 2026 iPhone reviewer was stuck on that loading screen — so the first launch and periodic checks need a connection. The store pages describe no other online feature.
No, and it is not for sale either: it is included with Crunchyroll's Mega Fan and Ultimate Fan memberships — Mega Fan Monthly is $13.99 on the App Store — with no way to buy the game alone. Inside there are no ads and no in-app purchases. Membership prices vary by region.
iOS 17 or newer with 3.3 GB free, or Android 10 or newer. It is the console game's engine on a phone, so expect a recent device to matter; the reviews report a loading hang on an iPhone 16 Pro Max rather than frame-rate trouble. Neither store mentions controllers.
No. It is single-player on every platform — one gunslinger, one campaign — with no co-op, multiplayer or leaderboards on the store pages. Family members each need their own Crunchyroll profile under the membership to log in.
The console campaign runs a dozen or so hours of stages, with score-chasing on repeat as the long tail; nothing in the mobile reviews suggests cuts. The clock that matters is the membership — cancel it and the game closes with it.
