Looking for a thrilling AR game similar to Pokemon GO? This article brings you the best Pokemon GO alternatives.
Pokemon GO (from Niantic, in collaboration with Nintendo) is a mobile AR game, with exclusive support for Android and iOS.

And its success has resulted in a surge of similar games, some of which were released earlier (before 2016).
Anyway, herein is a list of 4 best Pokemon GO alternatives. Read on!
Best Pokemon GO Alternatives
- Ingress
AR technology is relatively new in the world of mobile games, and the game that has been credited as the pioneer of AR games is no other than Ingress. In fact, the wave-making Pokémon GO was built on Ingress’ platform, by the same developer – Niantic.
Typified by a thrilling gameplay, filled with intrigues and mysteries, the location-based AR game is obviously one of the best around. And with a new update (Ingress Prime) coming up later this year, Pokemon GO would surely have a formidable rival.

- Walking Dead
Another top alternative to Pokemon GO is Walking Dead: Our World. The Augmented Reality game is based on the storyline of popular TV series – Walking Dead – which basically centres around “the strive for survival in a zombie apocalypse”.
Our World, like Pokémon Go and other AR games, uses your location (and phone’s camera) to create a real world imitation in the game.
The game is available on Play Store (for Android users) and App Store (for iOS users).
- Genesis
Genesis is an epic AR game with a dynamic gameplay, which affords you the opportunity to play with multiple characters. Interestingly, you can play the game as a single player, or square up against top-ranked players online.
Genesis, as a mobile game, is available on Play Store and App Store.
- Jurassic World™ Alive
Jurassic World Alive is another top AR game, whose gameplay is based on the popular movies series – Jurassic World. The main character’s mission, surprisingly, is not to catch or kill the dinosaurs, but rather to obtain DNA samples from them. These samples are then used to create an even more ferocious hybrid collection.
Jurassic World Alive is available for Android and iOS on Play Store and App Store respectively.
