870 PointsI already started learning Java and then my plan is to start with Android studio after it but is Android Studio captable of building this kind of games or is better to stick with Game Engines to make it?

870 PointsSo for working with libGDX I need knowledge of Java (and maybe Android studio?) , and what is the best way after that to learn libGDX?

23,800 PointsUnity is a game engine that relies on a language. Two options for Unity are Javascript and C#. Other engines may use other languages, for example, Corona SDK ( a 2D engine) would require Lua. I would suggest trying a few different languages and seeing what you like the best, though at the end of the day most of them follow the same principles and only require differences in syntax.
