Top 10 Best Angry Birds Games
One slingshot. A sky full of feathers. And an entire generation of gamers suddenly addicted to flinging furious fowl at rickety pig fortresses. Angry Birds isn't just a mobile game. It's a phenomenon that had everyone from bored commuters to coffee shop regulars chucking birds like their lives depended on it.
But with so many spin-offs, sequels, and genre-hopping entries, it's easy to forget which ones truly soared and which ones barely got off the perch. That's where you come in. You get to separate the iconic from the forgettable by voting up the Angry Birds games that actually stuck the landing.

Angry Birds Star Wars II
Released in 2013, Angry Birds Star Wars II is a physics-based puzzle game featuring characters from the Star Wars prequel trilogy. It introduced the Telepods system for integrating physical toys with gameplay.
Beautiful interactive scenery. A lot of playable characters, all of them with special powers (often unique in the game series). A complete pigs side. A special chapter (but not the entire game, such as Angry Birds 2) where you can choose what units to buy and launch. No annoying hearts limits - for me, this is the acme of the Angry Birds series!
Improves on the original with more characters and just more to do in general. While I definitely prefer the Star Wars original trilogy to the prequels, episodes 1-3 work better in the gaming format, as things are just more colorful and vibrant.

Angry Birds
Launched in 2009 by Rovio Entertainment, Angry Birds is a puzzle game where players slingshot birds to destroy structures and defeat pigs. It became one of the most downloaded mobile games of all time.
This is an absolutely deserving title to be the first Angry Birds game. Its level design is rather creative, leading to levels that are memorable in both good and bad ways. Also, it's just the original game, but it aged well, so I kinda have to put it here.
The original is the best. Simplistic yet challenging, it's the game that started it all.
Original is always the best. It's a shame it was deleted from the app store.

Angry Birds Epic
Angry Birds Epic is a turn-based role-playing game that debuted in 2014 and features a fantasy-themed storyline with battles across various island stages. It includes character classes and equipment crafting.
Angry Birds Epic shares a completely different world of duels with live fights. I never expected this RPG game to hit the Play Store. It has a different means where the player duels in matches instead of the same slingshot mechanism.
With the ability to craft armor and weapons and to brew potions, this game really is worth it for those RPG-interested players.
I love this game! One of my favorite Angry Birds games ever. There is such a huge variety of mechanics that are super easy to learn, even if you are 5 years old. They don't throw everything at me all at once but spread the mechanics across the game, keeping us engaged and wanting more. All of this in a simple mobile Angry Birds game!
I am happy to see this at #2. I completely see why Star Wars II is #1, though.

Angry Birds Space
Angry Birds Space was released in 2012 and introduces gravitational mechanics with levels set on planets and in zero gravity. It includes new bird abilities tailored to space environments.
The gravity mechanics of Angry Birds Space are really cool and well executed. The game has good graphics and a good menu theme. Also, there are great boss fights.
Also, my dad hates this game because he finds the gravity mechanics unintuitive, despite the fact you see where your bird is going.
As cool as all the planet's gravity mechanics were, the best part were those wacky special levels in this Golden Egg planet or whatever it was called. Each of those levels were so cool, experimental, and original.

Angry Birds Go!
Angry Birds Go is a kart racing game released in 2013 with characters from the Angry Birds universe competing in downhill races. It features vehicle upgrades and multiple game modes.
Whoever just first commented, my second best! Starting with Angry Birds Star Wars, in-game currency came. I love in-game currency! Same with Angry Birds Epic!
My first favorite Angry Birds game. Amazing! Especially the old version! My favorite Angry Birds game - so much fun! I still play the old version. I have 1.0.1 because I liked the old better than the new.
Classic racing game but with Angry Birds. In other words, perfection.

Angry Birds Rio
Angry Birds Rio was developed in collaboration with 20th Century Fox and released in 2011 alongside the animated film Rio. The game follows captured birds navigating levels in Rio de Janeiro.
This game features Blu and Jewel from the movie.
-
Angry Birds Transformers
This game blends Angry Birds characters with Transformers lore and was launched in 2014. It involves side-scrolling shooting gameplay with characters transforming between bird and vehicle forms.
This is the best Angry Birds game for me!
-
Angry Birds Star Wars
Angry Birds Star Wars combines traditional Angry Birds gameplay with the original Star Wars trilogy settings and characters. It includes Force powers and lightsabers as bird abilities.
Lots of people say that Star Wars II is better, and believe me, there are some parts that it does do better. But the original Angry Birds Star Wars managed to fit every major Original Trilogy scene in. Although there are fewer characters, none of them are clones of other characters.
Plus, this game is great at combining the gameplay style of a classic Angry Birds game and Angry Birds Space's gravity system. Plus, it offers a decent challenge, unlike Star Wars 2, which stays mostly easy.
Angry Birds Star Wars II is very good, but this one is a classic too. It's not too much, and it's a nice 6-chapter journey through the originals. This was a significant improvement over the last Angry Birds collaboration, which was Rio. As fun as Rio was, it can't beat this.

Angry Birds 2
Released in 2015, Angry Birds 2 is a direct sequel to the original game with multi-stage levels and card-based bird selection. It added daily challenges and player-vs-player arena modes.
This game is near perfect, but there are a few things keeping it from being perfect. Angry Birds 2 unfortunately contains a lot of microtransactions, which are shoved down your throat, and the stupid lives system. However, the game has great graphics, fun gameplay, and also hats.
The title is actually perfect as this is what a sequel to Angry Birds should be. It's not just more of the original. It's strategic in a whole new way, and the updated designs are fantastic. Suffers a bit from the curse of modern-day mobile games, but overall really amazing.
-
Angry Birds Reloaded
Angry Birds Reloaded is an Apple Arcade-exclusive title that revives classic Angry Birds gameplay with updated graphics and content from various spin-offs. It was released in 2021.
This reimagining of the 1st Angry Birds game doesn't sound like much until you realize that they made new cutscenes, remastered some of Angry Birds Seasons, and are straight up remaking Angry Birds Space.
Too bad it's stuck on Apple Arcade, which means I can't play it. I hope it comes to the Switch.
A mix of the original games and the two Angry Birds movies. Perfect chemistry.

Angry Birds Dream Blast
Dream Blast is a tap-to-match puzzle game featuring younger versions of Angry Birds characters. It includes bubble physics and power-up chains to complete level objectives.
-
Angry Birds Friends
This multiplayer adaptation allows players to compete in weekly tournaments against friends or global users. It was first launched in 2012 and is updated with new levels regularly.
Fun fact: This is the only game before Transformers that Rovio didn't initially remove. Yup, all the others were gone except this, and this was simply because Rovio was in bed with Facebook (sorry, META). It's still a good game. Love all the tournament stuff. Still has its flaws, though.
Basically Seasons but with the ability to play against friends, and it's updated on a consistent (monthly, I think) basis. Really solid in my opinion.
-
Angry Birds Seasons
First released in 2010, Angry Birds Seasons is a collection of themed levels tied to real-world holidays and events. Each episode features unique environments and level mechanics.
My 3rd favorite Angry Birds game! The music themes are so good, and the levels are amazing. I did Hammier Things and Pig Days first, and now I follow the line of the different seasons as a journey through all of them. Currently at Summer Picnic while posting this comment.
But the bad thing is that you have to pay for the older seasons until Ham Dunk. You don't need to pay for any more seasons after that - the rest are free.
Come on, this is obviously the best of the Angry Birds games. The best parts of the game are the variety of levels and the fact that this game still uses the original Angry Birds designs that were remade in 2012, like Hal and the Pigs.
Though the update with having to unlock levels through coins is just plain garbage, it's still the best Angry Birds game.

Bad Piggies
Bad Piggies, released in 2012, flips the Angry Birds formula by focusing on building contraptions to transport pigs across challenging terrains. It emphasizes engineering and problem-solving.
Well, everyone thought Bad Piggies is the opposite of Angry Birds, where the pigs use a slingshot. But it is meant for those who have ideas for aiming targets and reaching them by some contraption! I wanted to find this game in the top 5 of this list.
Absolutely incredible. It's unlike anything I've ever seen before and should be on the top of this list. Best Angry Birds game ever made.
Bad Piggies lets you either create ridiculous vehicles or complete the levels. I'm not sure which is more fun, though.
-
Angry Birds Stella
Angry Birds Stella centers on Stella and her friends as they battle the evil Gale in a more narrative-driven environment. The game features new characters and specialized powers.
I had a dream that this game got a sequel. Unfortunately, it was a dream, and I was sad. Make it happen, Rovio!
One of the most underrated... this cast deserves another game in the spotlight.
-
Angry Birds Action!
This game adopts a top-down pinball-style mechanic where players bounce birds through obstacle-filled stages. It was launched in conjunction with The Angry Birds Movie in 2016.
-
Angry Birds Fight!
-
Angry Birds Evolution
Angry Birds Evolution is a turn-based RPG released in 2017 featuring 3D graphics and collectible characters. It includes PvP battles, team building, and seasonal events.
Love it! After eight years of Angry Birds, they made the best action game. Angry Birds Evolution definitely deserves it!
-
Angry Birds POP!
This bubble shooter spin-off features Stella and her friends as they pop colored bubbles to defeat pigs. It introduces puzzle elements with chain reactions and special bubbles.
Angry Birds Pop is the best game of the series. It is awesome and beyond all marking or grading.
