- 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.
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).
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.
Among us and started valley
I love starred valley
Baba is You
What’s this one about?
Puzzle game where you push blocks around. Blocks with words can be pushed together to change game behavior. For example on a level with Baba, Is, and You blocks together let you control your character (your character is named Baba). But if you push a block that says Door in front of the Is and You blocks you will suddenly control the doors instead of Baba. It’s a really cool concept and the levels get extremely imaginative. And also difficult
Mine are bloons td 6, league of legends, and rocket league.
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.
My favorite Android game has always been, and still is, OSMOS. It used to be in the play store. You can still get it on Android from Hemisphere. There’s also iOS, Ipad, Steam (for Linux), OS X and Windows versions. I love this game so much I keep an ancient 7" pad with Marshmallow 6 offline just for it (Because I had the original on it - You don’t need an ancient device).
It’s a good while I don’t hear about Osmos, it’s a fun game.
Lots of good memories of Android humble bundles, playing Osmos and Eufloria. Too bad that program petered out
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.
Slay the spire and Downwell (PC ports I guess), it’s amazing how much the quality of mobile games is for games that are more than one dollar.
My favourite Android game is Genshin Impact even though I only play it on PC… but hey it exists on Android 😬
Vampire Survivor. I love games that i can play offline.
Probably shattered pixel dungeon
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.
I meant the unofficial port. It’s not officially available on android
Still surprised there’s an unofficial port. What an undertaking! Props to them.
