Gaming is an essential part of Android. With the pouring of several high-end mobile devices in recent times, games are becoming more smart and more visually stunning. Right now, there are thousands of games available. But, among them, only a handful of games offer multi-player gaming option.

In such games, you can fight with your local friends or find random players online, defend your kingdom and destroy the opponent or compete with your wits or simply shoot em up! In this post, I’m featuring 22 online multi-player games which, I think, are awesome:
