'Pokemon Go' is not actually the first location-based game as previously thought by most Android and iOS based gamers. There are other games to choose from that offer variety of adventures and distinct game features, which bored "PoGo" gamers could try as an alternative.
If your interest is more on old-school stuff, you may want to try "Geocaching." This game is considered as the ancestor of all location-based games. It is an outdoor recreational activity, in which participants use a Global Positioning System or GPS to hide and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches."
As of now, the game app's official site boast of over 2,963,677 caches around the world, and each has a surprise waiting to be discovered. If you are tired of "Pokemon," and you are in for treasure hunting like adventure, then "Geocaching" might be the best gaming app for you.
Now if you were attracted to "Pokemon Go" because of its so-called health benefits while catching "Pokemons" outdoors, then "Zombies, Run!" might increase your running and exercise activities. The game was developed back in 2012 for Android and iOS users wanting to experience zombie apocalypse. The app was mainly designed for walk, jog or running in order to survive the zombie epidemic.
As per game's official site, players are expected to have a runner mentality "en-route to one of humanity's last remaining outposts." During the game, you will not just simply run around the neighbourhood, for you would have to help gather supplies, rescue survivors, and defend their home as part of the gaming experience.
Apart from running and looking for treasures, players who like location-based MMORPG could have enjoyed "Parallel Kingdom." The said game app. is the first location-based RPG for the iOS and Android platforms where players may slay dragons and raid castles and dungeons.
However, just this month it has been reported that "PK" has already shut down, following its September 30 announcement of the said plan. But still, it is included on this list, for rumors of "Parallel Kingdom 2" has been circulating on different social media platforms and discussion sites. Guess we would just have to wait for further updates, regarding the said revival of another "Pokemon Go" like game alternative.
