Normally, simulation games are focused on emulating certain activities in real life. In mobile games, this usually translates into mechanics of clicking here and sliding your finger there, where things happen automatically according to the decisions we make.
The simulation genre is really extensive, and covers a lot of subgenres such as real life simulators, business simulators, flight simulators, sports simulators, farm simulators and a long etcetera. These are some of the best titles that we can currently find on Android.
