Google Play hosts millions of Android games that can be directly downloaded on the device. The Store has all sorties of games from RPG, FPS, casual, defense, maths, art, action, arcade, etc. But many games cannot make it to Android Marketplace due to some reasons, that is Google’s ToS or games nature, which acts as a barrier for the game to make a place in the Google Store.
But Android being an open-source ecosystem, allows 3rd party apps to be installed without any complications, giving power to the developers to make content more inclined towards users than favoring the Play Store Terms.
Today in this post, I will tell you about some of the top Android games that are not on the Google Play Store due to non-compliance with the terms. Few games may contain violence, nudity, blood, etc.; discretion is advised.
