10 hauntingly beautiful dark and atmospheric Android games
Set the mood with the best hauntingly inviting Android games
While there is no shortage of puzzle and arcade games on the Android platform, it can be easy to get drawn into mainstream hits like Angry Birds and Cut The Rope. However, stumbling upon games with darker themes, like World Of Goo, brought on a mesmerizing experience thanks to the hauntingly beautiful combination of sounds and graphics. The powerful mixture of the audio track and dark artistic visuals can bring a different tone to puzzle and adventure games, completely revamping these genres. We've rounded up the best atmospheric games that will hauntingly stick with you while playing on your favorite Android phone.
Badland
In layman's terms, Badland is a more original and enjoyable Flappy Bird. The game's mechanics are similar: it's a sidescroller adventure where you must tap to fly a creature through obstacles in a dark forest.

Badland is unforgiving at times, challenging but more manageable than others. It still remains enjoyable through this high-difficulty spike, never crossing the threshold into the frustrating territory of Flappy Bird. You can play this one without fear of addiction or an impulse to throw your poor phone across the room.
