Here are a few of our favorite indie games to play on the ROG Phone 6. 

Xenowerk – The ROG Phone 6's 6000 mAh battery keeps you running and gunning 

Playing a fast-paced shooter like Xenowerk can be pretty taxing on the average phone's battery, especially when you just can't put it down, but the ROG Phone 6 will keep you in the game for longer. Xenowerk has you descending into a research facility with nothing but a flashlight and a few guns, cutting down anything that gets in your path. When you're being attacked from all sides by terrifying aliens, the last thing you need is to be freaking out about your phone dying. 

Bad North – Make split-second decisions with a high-end CPU and tons of RAM 

The disarmingly adorable Bad North requires fast, difficult decisions to be made if you want to survive. Fending off Viking invaders with just a small handful of units means thinking about correct placement of troops, knowing when to let some squads rest up, and knowing which units perform best against which enemies. It's a lot to juggle, but with the ROG Phone 6's Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform and Adreno 730 GPU offering up 10% better CPU and GPU performance compared to the previous generation, and up to 18GB of RAM, you can trust your phone will follow your strategic choices to the letter, as and when you set them in place. 

Wreckfest – Get more control over your crashes with exclusive AirTriggers 

Racing games on mobile aren't always the most fun to control, but with the ROG Phone 6's AirTriggers, you can get more control over your vehicles and keep your screen free of your fingers as you race around. Wreckfest is the perfect game to showcase these controls, a game about beat-up cars and muddy tracks, where crashing isn't just allowed, it's encouraged. From traditional circuit races to full-on destruction derbies, Wreckfest is quite literally a smashing good time. You can even use the ROG Kunai 3 Gamepad to bring a true console-level feeling to the game. 

One Hand Clapping – Feel the beat with incredible GameFX audio 

There really isn't another platformer quite like One Hand Clapping, a mobile rhythm game which uses sound-based input as its controls. It'll have you humming and singing to move around the world and traverse the many obstacles you face. It's a great vocal warm-up, and a great use of the ROG Phone 6's GameFX technology. With options to tweak the equalizer to suit your tastes, and super-low latency Snapdragon Sound technology for headphone users, you're in for a crystal clear audio experience. 

Townscaper – Watch your own world come to life with a sharp 165Hz display 

Relaxing city builder Townscaper allows you to build a town to your heart's content, adding and removing building blocks with a tap of the screen, and watching as your creation grows and changes according to your directions. Such a gorgeous and detailed game deserves a beautiful screen to see it, and the ROG Phone 6 delivers. Not only will the colours pop, but thanks to the 165Hz display, you'll have a seriously responsive screen that won't miss a tap, even as your town expands to ever greater heights. 

Kingdom: Two Crowns – Cast an eye over your land with landscape charging 

Playing games in landscape mode is a staple of mobile gaming, but one without much innovation. Fortunately, the ROG Phone 6's unique landscape charging port is situated on the side of the phone, keeping your fingers clear of cables and your phone battery topped up at the same time. In the gorgeous landscape game Kingdom: Two Crowns, you'll want to see as much of the lands around you as possible. This side-scrolling kingdom management game has dangers lurking around every corner, so having a full view will give you time to plan for the problems ahead. 

No matter which game you choose, the ROG Phone 6's wide array of unique and high-performance features will help you immerse yourself fully in the experience. From ready-for-anything CPU and RAM to incredible audio and visuals, the ROG Phone 6 is the finest gaming smartphone on the market.
