The Best Augmented Reality Games in 2019

1. POKEMON GO

   Pokémon Go is an augmented reality (AR) mobile game developed and published by Niantic for iOS and Android devices. A part of the Pokémon franchise, it was first released in certain countries in July 2016, and in other regions over the next few months. The game is the result of a collaboration between Niantic, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company. It uses the mobile device GPS to locate, capture, battle, and train virtual creatures, called Pokémon, which appear as if they are in the player's real-world location. The game is free to play; it uses a freemium business model and supports in-app purchases for additional in-game items. The game launched with around 150 species of Pokémon, which had increased to over 480 by 2019.

10. THE MACHINES

    

     

    The Machines has got to be one of the most polished multiplayer experiences for iOS that we’ve seen so far. Transform your table top (or any other flat surface) into a highly-detailed battlefield where you’ll lead your team of Machines against friends both online and in the same room. Strategically fight your way across the map, taking down towers, enemies and of course, your opponent’s base to win the game.
    It’s detailed both visually and in terms of spatial audio, as you’ll hear various sound effects as you get closer and further away from various elements of the table top strategy game. There’s a limited number of maps and heroes for now, but this is set to change in the upcoming 1.3.0 update.
    The Machines is a perfect example of the future of AR, and we can’t wait to see how it’s improved in future.
