Orna RPG! It’s a GPS game like Pokemon Go with a classic RPG style, no pay to win options, a great community, and Devs who listen to feedback with regular updates.
Genuinely the best GPS game I’ve played by a long shot.
Stardew valley. Such a good game that plays great, especially on tablet.
… RetroArch.
Do you use any sort of controller, or just use the on screen buttons?
Can’t stand the on screen buttons. I use this thing with the clip.
Dead cells, out there omega edition, 20 minutes till dawm, vampire survivors, titan quest, hollow knight, 9th dawm rpg 3, starrows, scourgebringer, undead horde
Hollow Knight is on Android? Wow! I never knew.
The only commercial Android game I regularly play is Wordscapes. It’s an almost embarrassing level of enduring basic bitch addiction, I don’t engage with any microtransaction bait, I have a systemwide ad blocker… and I love it.
Otherwise it’s all Emulators and Open Source (covered well elsewhere in this thread).
Shattered Pixel Dungeon, Endless Sky, and Mindustry (especially that last one, which I haven’t seen anybody else mention yet).
I get all my games from F-Droid, not any commercial app store.
Mindustry is such a gem. It’s cross platform too, You can find it here
Hill Climb Racing 2. I don’t really play much on my smartphone.
Mine are bloons td 6, league of legends, and rocket league.
- Shattered Pixel Dungeon: Fun, compact, traditional NetHack-esque roguelike
- Slice & Dice: Really cool dice-based risk-reward turn-based combat game
In addition to being good games, neither has any microtransactions, ads, or any of that BS, was happy to give the devs some money.
Marvel Contest of Champions or emulators when I actually want to play something
Royal Match or Woody when I just want to kill a couple minutes
Been playing Golf Blitz for a couple of years and still absolutely love it. Also recently enjoyed revisiting World of Goo (although it now only seems to work if you have Netflix - I do, but it’s a shame it’s not available for everyone)
Here’s my games folder:
Finding mobile games that aren’t live service garbage is tough but at least a lot of good PC games just port to android.
John gba lite with pokemon unbound rom.
Been really enjoying Night of the Full Moon. Slay the Spire like but the opponents have decks and play like players. It’s free to play with expansions and an ad free experience you can pay for. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ztgame.yyzy
