- Quick Answer: Top mobile rally games include Rush Rally 3, N3Rally, Rally One: Race to Glory, and art of rally, offering realistic simulation to casual arcade racing.
Not all rally games are made equal. Some were made to be played on your smartphone, but that shouldn’t stop you from playing them.
While some gamers may look down on mobile games, it’s an undeniable fact that mobile gaming fills a huge niche compared to traditional gaming platforms like console or PC: it’s mobile.
The fact that I can play on a handheld device that I own anywhere and anytime I want is a godsend for all sorts of different circumstances. Maybe I only have time for a quick gaming sesh, or I don’t have my sim racing setup at the ready.
But when I get that racing itch at an inconvenient time or place, these rally games on mobile keep me entertained all the way to the finish line.
Rush Rally 3
If you want a serious rally racer with realistic handling and a wide variety of tracks, events and cars, Rush Rally 3 is an awesome game on both PC and mobile.
It’s highly customisable, with a ton of options for tuning, personalization, and race settings that are perfect for both serious and casual play.
While it’s no DiRT Rally, I find that Rush Rally 3 is a suitable alternative that hits all the notes that DR2.0 does, especially with the multiplayer feature.
There are live online events (similar to the online challenges in DR2.0), complete with leaderboards and ghost replays. That being said, this game is a one-man passion project with a seriously cheap price tag.
Even as a free-to-play gamer, it’s worth considering that for only a few bucks, you can get the content and variety of a DiRT game, all at your fingertips.
Still not convinced? Rush Rally 3 also has a free demo, although it has fewer cars and tracks than the paid version, and doesn’t have a Career mode or progression.
N3Rally
Despite the silly graphics, N3Rally is a deceptively amazing rally game with a lot under the hood. Like Rush Rally 3, it’s made by a single rally fan from Japan. The best part? It’s free on mobile!
N3Rally actually has two different “physics” modes: ‘Simulation’ for more realistic, difficult physics; and ‘Arcade’ for more casual players. This distinction is actually one that I can appreciate.
While some racers enjoy the difficulty of advanced simulation, most beginners are probably more familiar with the casual, grippy tire physics that allow them to do cool racing stuff like powerslides without knowing the principles behind it, and that is completely a-okay.
N3Rally manages to get the best of both worlds in its settings, whilst keeping both sides separate.
No matter which physics mode you choose, the ‘Simulation’ leaderboards will have different records than the ‘Arcade’ leaderboards, which keeps it fair for those who want to climb up the rankings.
Despite being free to play, N3Rally is a top contender for the best mobile rally game. It has tons of content and surprisingly deep gameplay with constant updates.
Rally One: Race to Glory
Rally One: Race to Glory is an incredibly accessible rally game. While its graphics are certainly not quite up to speed, it also means that it’s very easy to get into.
There’s not a lot of visual clutter, and the controls are easy enough to understand for a beginner to focus on the driving itself.
Techniques such as weight transfer and momentum can still be applied, but as the physics is aimed more towards accessibility and casual play, seasoned racers may be put off by the simplicity of the controls.
All in all, Rally One: Race to Glory is a great entry point into rallying for the uninitiated beginner. It’s free, it’s simple, and the graphics are so optimized that it could run on a brick phone.
art of rally
A not-so-surprising addition to the list, art of rally is a superb rally game that has had its fair share of praise on every platform, except on mobile, it seems.
art of rally is a stylized top-down racer inspired by the “golden age” of rally, the Group B rally era, where you control freakishly high-powered race cars around twists and turns while trying not to accidentally crash into spectators who keep running onto the track.
While not exactly a conventional rally racer, art of rally manages to capture the essence of rallying, if not motorsports in general.
It understands that the best drivers can control their car as easily as moving a limb by entering a “flow state”, where the driver and car become like ‘one’.
Of course, for regular people like you and me, we probably won’t reach that level of expertise, but art of rally manages to simulate that feeling by putting the player in that exact scenario if they want to complete the level.
For rally drivers, every corner demands utmost confidence and concentration, and art of rally is a perfect distillation of that demand to reach a “flow state”.
Unfortunately, the art of rally mobile port has mixed reviews. The game works as intended on some devices; meanwhile, it’s buggy and unoptimized for others.
Nevertheless, art of rally is such a fantastic rally game that it's worth your interest on mobile, if not on other platforms such as PC or Nintendo Switch.
Diamonds in the rough
While most mobile games get a bad rep, these games prove that some gems are just buried deep beneath the ground.
When the platform is dominated by big, predatory, and greedy companies, it’s nice to know that there are indie developers who are still passionate about their craft and are enthusiastic about rally.
When all you find is dirt, eventually dirt is all you think you can find. But sometimes you strike gold, and it gives you hope for something better you can find in the dirt.
And for me, these games are worth their weight in gold.
