9 Best God Simulator Games for Android & iOS
Are you a fan of epic simulation games that make you feel like a god? Then keep reading this article!
There are loads of god simulator games for Android & iOS that lets you create a virtual world to rule over. In these games, everything is possible—you get to populate your world with magical creatures, come up with your own religion, and even cultivate dying planets. But the best thing about these sandbox games—you may rather lead your world to greatness or completely destroy it.
We’ve gathered the 9 best games in that category you may try. Take a look!
WorldBox
Let’s start with a god sim game that lets you have your own pocket world inside your phone.
Your main goal here is to create life and watch it grow and prosper (or not). You can start with just one continent and then slowly fill in the entire planet under your command. Herewith, you get absolute freedom of creativity and actions. Wanna make a continent that looks like a dragon or maybe a cat? You can do it easily as pie!
The next step is to put life on your continent. The game covers plenty of forms of life of any kind—from classic animals and humans to works, elves, and other fantastic beasts. Once it’s done, the population of your world will start to evolve. They will build houses and roads, grow food and try to survive as hard as they can.
At this point, you may rather help your population to live their best life or ruin everything. For instance, you may easily cause acid rain, a tsunami, and even drop a nuclear bomb if needed. Of course, there are smaller things that may complicate the life in your work such as tornadoes, unexpected rain or winter season, and more.

Next, we have a top-pick game when it comes to the sandbox genre.
This game has quite unique graphics, so if you’ve already tried plenty of god sims—this one may become a glimpse of fresh air. Plus, this app lets you rule over a very real living world that may actually develop without your help. That’s right, you’re free to populate your world and live the citizens on their own (but it wouldn’t be fun, right?).
Additionally, the app lets you physically create and shape the world for people to live in. You get to precisely sculpt the entire map, add different landscapes, lakes, rivers, mountains, forests, and all that. In other words, you can make it as unique as you want. Once it’s done, and the land has been populated, you can help the people make their way out of a primitive age.
To cope with that, you can cast miracles by adding fertile lands, adding more forests and water sources, and more. You may also encourage your people to go explore new lands and help them along the way. However, if you’ll get tired of your current civilization, you can also destroy them all with some major cataclysm and start over.
Religion Inc
Here we have a god simulator based on religion.
Sooth to say, the concept of this game is pretty unique. You won’t just get to rule an entire population—you’ll need to create your own religion first. That’s caused a human nation has tended to need something greater than them to believe in. The religion you’ll make will help them step out of the darkness and enlighten their path into a bright future.
Herewith, an entire world can’t believe in the same religion, right? That’s why the game covers several options—from the pantheon of gods to a demonic cult. You may use pre-made ones or build your own. And which path your religion will take is fully up to you. At this point, you’re a god, no one would dare to judge you.
But your goal is to convince an entire world to take your religion as their main one. To cope with that, you may need to adapt it for all the continents individually, which makes the game even more fun. There are plenty of ways t spread your religion and not just one right way.
The Sandbox
We can confidentially say that this game is a base choice for the god sim genre. Sounds dramatic, but it’s true.
Despite the fact that the graphics in this one is pretty ambiguous (as it always is with pixel art) the fan base of this game is massive. The game lets you create your virtual world and populate it with humans, robots, and even zombies if you’re in such a mood. There’s literally nothing to stand in the way of your imagination here.
You start the game by building a map out of basic blocks like stone, water, and all that. Then, you’ll need to grow plants, add forests, mountains, and all that. Not all the textures will be available from the very beginning, but you’ll get to unlock them with time. The next step is to generate life and help it to evolve.
As you’ll level up your rank, you’ll unlock such elements as electricity, metal, and other things that will help your civilization to step into the next stage of evolution. One day you can even help them to build a spaceship and o visit other planets. You may also use special magical powders to turn humans into magicians, hunters, ninjas, and even zombies.
TerraGenesis
This is a god sim for all of you who are into a space theme.
According to the concept, you’ll get to use real NASA science to cultivate life on new planets. More to that, you’re gonna start with an almost dead planet that requires a planet of care to even be habitable. Thus, you’ll need to explore the space, find the planets that people may settle in, and do whatever it takes to inhabit them.
To cope with that, you’ll need t join one of the four fractions first. Each fraction has its own benefits for building settlements on new planets. And you’ll need to consider the features of your fractions while preparing the planets for inhabitant.
As it was already mentioned, all the things you’ll need to do to realize the planet are based on real science—it’s not just a bunch of random actions. You’ll need to put thoughts and efforts into helping the planets, as you may fully destroy them as well as bring them back to life. Herewith, all the planets will have a unique atmosphere that requires an individual attempt.

Doodle God Planet Blitz
It’s a god simulation game that uses alchemy to create life.
In case you’re not into mixing stuff up to create materials and forms of life—you should probably skip this one. This game gives you a range of basic elements like earth, fire, and wind for you to mix to create something unique. Of course, you may stick to the classic elements for building your world, but the game will lose its main charm then.
You’ll get to build an entire planet and populate will all kinds of creatures you want. But apart from some of its sister games, this one won’t let you do that in a blink of an eye. The universe was not created in one day, and you’ll have to get patient to make your planet grow and evolve.
The coolest thing about this game is it can be unpredictable. For instance, you may create something completely unharmful, and it will accidentally cause a wave of zombies or a volcano explosion. In case you’ll get stuck without any thought on what to do next, you may go for a mission mode for orienting.
Divine Academy
Here is a simulator game that lets you feel what it’s like to be an ancient god.
Your goal here is to build a majestic city for your settlers and in the end—create the greatest kingdom ever. As always, you’ll start small—from a simple little village with only the essential things for survival. Then, step by step, your citizens will evolve and expand the territory (with your help, obviously).
As you’ll move forward in the game, you’ll unlock more complex buildings and other stuff to boost up the upgrade of your nation quickly. You’ll get to build a magical academy and learn from the great green gods of Olympus. And if you’ll ever get bored with your world = you can always erase them with one touch.
However, watching your people evolve s a nation is way more fun than killing them all. Plus, there will be plenty of threats they will need to protect themselves from through the game. For instance, your people will get attacked by magical monsters, and they will need your help to survive.
Pocket Build
As you may guess by the name, this game lets you rule over your pocket world.
Fair to say, it’s one of the best sandbox games on the market. It has great authentic graphics, smooth animation, and gives you complete freedom of action. Ever wanted to create your fantasy world? Or maybe a farm or a small castle would be enough for you? Whatever your tastes are, this game covers them all.
It’s an open-world game where you can build whatever you want. You can create a major kingdom or a small village, and the gaming process will be equally interesting. You’ll get to change landscapes, add forests, rivers, mountains, buildings, and whatever else comes to your mind. The game covers thousands of items to fill your world in, and new ones are added regularly.
Plus, you may add people and animals, ad watch them grow under your command. Once you’ll populate the land with people, you’ll need to make sure they have all the resources for a safe existence. You may give them food, push them to learn new traits, and more—the possibilities are almost endless.

Almighty
And lastly, we have a clicker game that lets you rule a virtual world.
The concept is quite classic—it is a god sim that lets you create your own word and watch it grow and progress over time. As the story goes, you start creating an entire world after a big explosion (well, I bet you’re familiar with the idea). The explosion has already created the basic forms of life on the planet, but it’s just the begging.
Your goal is to bring the progress as far as you can. To cope with that, you’ll need to complete quests, gain a boost and spend it on unlocking new items and species for your world. The game already covers hundreds of inventory items, textures resources, and more is yet to come.
At this point, it needs to be said that the game is quite long—it takes almost three months to fully evolve your world. Plus, it comes with multiplayer gameplay that lets you compete with other players to see who’s the best god of all. The game includes a donation system, so not all the items may be earned.
