The Rise of Augmented Reality Games

Way back in the summer of 2016, gamers of all ages were treated to the world-changing event that was the release of Niantic’s Pokémon GO.

We all woke up that morning in July hearing of a new Pokémon game, but what followed was an insanely creative and lasting experience that could be shared with everyone, everywhere.

Using augmented reality, or AR, Pokémon that we all know, and love would be viewed through our phone’s camera.

This meant that the Pokémon could appear seamlessly in our world: Pikachu in the grocery store, Charmander in the park, and Bulbasaur in Times Square.

How was this cool new technology possible? Niantic tapped into something revolutionary for a new, extremely wide audience. By harnessing augmented reality, they brought anyone with a smartphone to partake in the game.

I recall a truly unreal experience as I entered a local park in my hometown. Joined by my sister, we walked around the expansive meadows and tree-lined paths.

As we came up to a pavilion near the center of the park, we stopped dead in our tracks. Like some sort of gang tag, ‘TEAM VALOR’, (one of the three ‘teams’ users could join in-game), was etched into the asphalt with chalk.

The impact that augmented reality had upon our reality, I now knew, was in full swing.

What Is Augmented Reality?

Consider augmented reality virtual reality’s little brother. It is a halfway point between the real world and virtual environments. In augmented reality simulations, the real world is infused with virtual objects, (like Pokémon), and provides an interactive experience.

It can also be known as ‘mixed reality’, as it does just that; it mixes the computer-generated world with our reality.

While virtual reality goggles allow us to tap into a completely different interface, we can be transported to far off lands, technological constructs, and situations straight out of movies and dreams.

I like to think of augmented reality as serving as a land bridge between the two technologies.

The potential for augmented reality is easier than ever in this day and age. With merely smartphones or tablets within our reach, we can be intimately introduced to the concept of augmented reality.

Google began to dabble in augmented reality with its ambitious Google Glass—a pair of glasses that includes a detailed HUD, (heads-up display), resembling a hands-free smartphone.

Google Glass has several beneficial features not only for comfort and leisure but also practical and helpful ways to utilize it.

In many augmented reality experiences, the user’s GPS is used to create a more realistic approach to gaming, allowing for the seamless transition between real-world environments and technological ones.

It is plain to see that augmented reality has brought us leaps and bounds technologically to places where we haven’t been before. That is fine, but what about the most important thing for us all? I am of course talking about GAMES, – specifically, AR games.

The Best Augmented Reality Games

Pokémon GO was not the first, and definitely won’t be the last augmented reality game. What others are there?

What is on the horizon for AR?

Well, here is the list of the 5 best AR games—specially tailored to 2023.

Pokémon GO

Niantic, Inc. | 2016 | Free

Yeah, I just waxed poetic about Pokémon GO, but I swear, it’s one of the best! San Francisco-based company Niantic, in partnership with Nintendo, developed the beloved augmented reality game Pokémon GO, and the rest is history.

The reason it is more relevant than ever is Niantic and Nintendo’s potential to keep improving the game.

The world of Pokémon is extremely detailed: it includes over 800 unique Pokémon, opening the doors of possibilities for the companies to further hone their successful, (need I emphasize), free app.

They are constantly updating, too. At first, it was simply finding low-level Pokémon around your neighborhood, with cities and major hubs of civilization being the most desirable areas to capture rare Pokémon.

This was the game that Pokémon fans worldwide were waiting for: a game to catch Pokémon and use them to battle at certain hotspots in the real world, (usually landmarks or other places with heavy foot traffic), labeled as gyms, to exert dominance on other users.

I took a trip to New York City a month after release, and the sheer amount of valuable Pokémon available in even the most innocuous of neighborhoods was enough for me to want to never leave the city.

Of course, the game is not without its controversy. Many people weren’t responsible when playing, sometimes playing the game behind the wheel of vehicles, putting countless people in danger.

It brought ‘texting while driving’ to a whole new level. Some people were even mugged at certain spots: the criminals would put down a lure and wait for eager players to arrive, hoping to capture Pokémon, only to be met with ruffians and ne’er do wells who had to ruin the fun for others.

Along with this addictive gameplay, Niantic has been consistently updating their popular game. Not only that but as of February 2019, the game surpassed a staggering 1 billion downloads.

It is clear that the popularity has not waned one bit for Pokémon GO, making it, I believe, one of the contenders for best AR games this year and dare I say, all the time.

Difficulty

Its various features, such as Gym battles and Raid Bosses, can present challenges that require strategy and cooperation, especially for higher-tier encounters. The game balances casual gameplay with elements that can be complex for those seeking a more competitive experience.

In-Game Purchases

• In-Game Currency Packs: Purchase packs of in-game currency at different price points for various in-game transactions and items.
• Event Access: Obtain tickets or bonuses for access to special in-game events or content during limited-time promotions.

Ingress

Niantic, Inc. | 2012 | Free

Surprise, surprise, Niantic appears twice on the list. In the augmented reality game, Ingress was released about two years before Niantic’s Pokémon GO.

In the game, the player uses their GPS on their phone to interact with ‘portals’, usually coinciding with landmarks, much like the later Pokémon GO. The setting of the game is a nifty mix of sci-fi and cyberpunk in which Earth has come in contact with an alien force.

Subsequently, two factions emerge one favoring the use of alien technology, and those who oppose it outright, wanting to keep humanity intact, (called the Enlightened and the Resistance, respectively).

Augmented reality comes in when players interact with the ‘portals’, earning experience points and action points.

For example, you can go to the local pub, doubling as an in-game portal, and earn experience points that way, possibly winning the location for whichever side the gamer chooses to side with.

Ingress also had the unique experience of being involved with academia, specifically being studied as a connection with globalism and sharing cultural significant sites. It allows the players to connect, especially with the emphasis on teamwork that the game requires.

Strangers can easily come together and share stories, neighborhoods, and cultures in which may have never taken place if not for a game like this.

It is easy to see that Ingress served as a sort of inspiration for what would eventually come in 2016. The ‘turf war’ aspect of the two sides, competing for control of areas, it all ties into what Niantic would later develop in their most popular title.

That’s precisely why it ranks very high on the list. Not only significance, but because it is still immensely popular with some, and has many of the well-honed features that we are now so intimately acquainted with.

Difficulty

“Ingress” presents a moderate learning curve for newcomers, requiring players to physically travel to various locations to interact with portals. The strategic element of aligning with factions and collaborating with other players adds depth, making mastery of the game both challenging and rewarding.

Zombies, Run!

Six to Start | 2012 | Free

Zombies, Run! was released in 2012 by British game developers Six to Start. This augmented reality game is very story-driven, having the player listen to stories about a zombie outbreak, as well as having the players become proactive members.

Players will have to do what we now know is expected of us in a dreaded zombie outbreak: collecting valuable items for survival, helping others, and of course, running from the zombies.

The main crux of this game is the literal running. Although it includes all of the important resource-gathering elements, its primary focus is the actual physical activity of the user.

It became an extremely popular health and fitness app. The interesting story, which includes audio logs, propels the runner into becoming more engaged with their physical health. What is better than that? A game that is not only interesting but keeps you in good shape.

Something that sets this game apart from Niantic’s games is that the game is completely hands-free. Since it is based on physical exertion, the game is primarily made to be played while the player is occupied by running.

They can even take part in the famous ‘zombie run’ in which they need to kick their running into high gear so as not to lose precious supplies that they have picked up during their exercise.

Along with all of this, the supplies the runner picks up during their exercise session will, in turn, benefit the town, Abel township. The game then transitions to a city builder like a strategy game in which you can improve buildings and defenses.

And, as expected, the better the player does in terms of exercise, the more beneficial the town and its bonuses become, creating a nice cycle of positive health as well as addictive gameplay.

My brother-in-law played this extensively during the summer when he was unemployed. He had recently recovered from a hairline fracture that left him homebound. Determined not to become a couch potato, he ran at our local park, which wrapped around a lake for 5 miles.

Every day, he would run from zombies for those 5 miles. He told me how terrifying and high stakes the game turned into.

I’m not sure if he was too interested in the story aspects, but he said the town building was addictive and honestly made him run harder and push himself past his comfort zone.

These aspects of positivity are just one positive aspect of augmented reality games and the bright future they have in our society.

Difficulty

The game is designed to be accessible to all fitness levels, with adjustable difficulty settings, it provides an engaging challenge by integrating zombie chases, requiring players to increase their pace to evade the undead.

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite

Niantic, Inc. | 2019 | Free

So technically, this has not been released yet. It is slated for a quarter 2 2019 release, (which puts it in the zone of about April, May, or June.

It has already been out for beta testing in Australia in April, and that could go on for a bit. I expect it to be fully released by Summer 2019 at the latest.

As you can surmise, J.K. Rowling’s beloved world of wizards and muggles comes to life in this augmented reality game. The premise is simple: the player takes on the role of a wizard who must battle beasts through the use of their GPS and cell phone.

And another surprise, Niantic is publishing this title. They are also working alongside Warner Brothers Games to develop. It truly seems that Niantic is one of the pioneers in popular augmented reality games, and I am all for it.

In the game, the player chooses all their favorite aspects of the Harry Potter wizarding world, namely choosing all of the customizable elements. Want a cool wand? Which house do you want to be part of?

You can choose any of these things to your liking, much like Pokémon GO. Surely there will be numerous comparisons to the Pokémon title, as that is where Niantic came into its own in terms of development. But if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it!

After you decide which specific wand and wizarding house to align with, and your specific class, (in the guise of creative titles like Professor, Auror or Magizoologist), you will travel around and battle mythological beasts like the basilisk and trolls from the Harry Potter books, films, and franchise.

It has been a while since I delved deep into Harry Potter, so I’m excited about this title. With a big company like Warner Brothers and Niantic at the helm, there is no way it WON’T be a quality title.

Difficulty

“Harry Potter: Wizards Unite” offers a multi-layered gameplay experience that can be initially overwhelming for newcomers due to its array of features and mechanics.

Spirit Camera

Tecmo Koei | 2012 | $33

Make sure you are playing in broad daylight with this next title. Evoking imagery and fond memories of the terrifying Fatal Frame series of horror games, Spirit Camera have you thrust into the position of a character wielding a camera, (the Camera Obscura), that defeats ghosts.

For the Nintendo 3DS, Spirit Camera is a handheld Fatal Frame title, released in 2012.

I love this idea, as the eerie apparitions appear in our world, and you must eradicate them. If you were already freaked out by ghosts, this will NOT help you get over your fear.

Instead, it populates your area with them. However, I believe this was the revolutionary step that the Fatal Frame series needed. As fun as they were, where could they go from where they stopped? By entering the real world, the possibilities became so much more potent and endless.

The Fatal Frame franchise had me on the edge of my seat all of the time. I could never relax. Now it is kind of a blessing and a curse to bring the terrifying features into my world.

Where the ghosts ‘lived’ in my Play Station, to be destroyed either by the Camera Obscura or me turning the system off, I can now find ghosts in my dang basement.

The game is super plot-driven, which I love. I mean I love Pokémon GO, but there is no story there. In Spirit Camera, you are thrown into a spooky Fatal Frame iconic story including an old Japanese haunted house.

Along with the plot, the game works in full 3D: this means that ghosts will appear behind you, working in 360 degrees and making the player aware of every bit of their surroundings.

The game is split into three different game modes: story, minigames, and challenges. The story mode is where most of the ‘meat’ of the gameplay lies, especially the augmented reality features of the game.

Like I said, keep the lights on for this title!

Difficulty

The game’s reliance on specific AR and gyroscope conditions, such as needing well-lit areas and ample space, can make it inconvenient and challenging to play in various settings.

Jurassic World Alive

Jam City, Inc. | 2018 | Free

“Jurassic World Alive” is an Augmented Reality (AR) mobile game that was released to coincide with the 2018 Jurassic World movie.

Whether it’s your kitchen floor or a city park, players can physically move around the structures, identifying weak points and hidden items, adding a layer of strategy and immersion not seen in previous versions.

The game retains the classic Angry Birds mechanics, where players launch birds with unique abilities from a slingshot to topple structures and defeat the mischievous pigs. However, the transition to AR means players now navigate in three dimensions, making trajectory prediction and shot placement even more crucial.

The game’s AR technology is lauded for its stability and realism, with only minor hiccups in gameplay. As the review suggests, “Angry Birds AR” not only rejuvenates the franchise but also stands as one of the most impressive showcases of augmented reality in gaming to date.

Five Nights at Freddy’s AR

Illumix, Inc. | 2019 | Free

“Five Nights at Freddy’s AR: Special Delivery” (FNaFAR:SD) revitalizes the renowned horror game franchise by introducing augmented reality (AR) into its gameplay. In this iteration, players are thrust into a world where Fazbear Funtime Services delivers animatronics right to their doorstep.

However, these animatronics are far from benign. With glowing eyes, they lurk in players’ real-world surroundings, ready to strike unless players zap them first. As players disable these menacing machines, they collect parts, allowing them to craft their own animatronic creations and send them to terrorize other players.

The game’s AR mechanics are straightforward yet engaging. Players use their device’s camera to scan their environment, and when static appears, it signals an animatronic’s proximity. The objective is to locate and zap these creatures before they attack.

Beyond the thrill of the chase, the game offers a mischievous twist: players can design their own animatronics and unleash them on others, hoping to give them a genuine scare.

While “Five Nights at Freddy’s AR: Special Delivery” doesn’t delve deep into a coherent storyline, it doesn’t need to. Its strength lies in its fun, campy, and eerie gameplay, making it an enjoyable experience for both longtime fans of the series and newcomers.

What Makes It Great

Personalized Horror Experience: The game’s AR feature transforms familiar surroundings into a horror playground, making the scares more intimate and personal. This close-to-home experience amplifies the game’s tension and fear factor.

Community Interaction: The ability to send out custom-designed animatronics to other players fosters a sense of community interaction. This feature not only adds a competitive edge but also encourages players to get creative in their designs to out-scare their peers.

Evolving Gameplay: While the game retains the core essence of the Five Nights at Freddy’s series, the introduction of AR and the ability to create and send out animatronics adds layers of depth and strategy, ensuring that even seasoned players find new challenges to tackle.

Difficulty

The game’s AR mechanics are straightforward: players use their device’s camera to scan their surroundings, and when static appears, it signals an animatronic’s proximity. The game thrives on its fun and campy horror elements, making it suitable for both younger audiences and casual horror fans.

Final Thoughts

It is plain to see that augmented reality games, although I believe not as heavily advertised as virtual reality like Oculus Rift, hold a much more significant role in the way we interact in our environment and with others.

The positive impacts that these games hold, namely coming together as a society to share in great experiences, and even improving health, have proved to be an extreme boon to the game development industry.

Who doesn’t want a game that is amazingly fun and addictive, as well as great for your health?

With these titles, you really cannot go wrong. Looking to get out and exercise? Zombies, Run! and the Niantic titles encourage running, walking, and interacting with others around you, as well as throwing you into a significant storytelling experience.

Whatever you choose, these 5 AR games are no doubt the best bet on premier augmented reality entertainment you can get on the market today.
