Ingress Prime
2018 · Augmented Reality
Ingress Prime remains the most strategically deep location-based game on mobile, rewarding players who commit to real-world exploration, faction coordination, and long-term territorial planning. The community is smaller than it once was, but that tight-knit playerbase creates a social experience few mobile games can match. New players will struggle with a steep learning curve and sparse onboarding, and anyone outside a major city will find portals frustratingly scarce, but agents who push through the early confusion discover a game that turns their entire neighborhood into a battlefield worth caring about.
