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.
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.
Mine are bloons td 6, league of legends, and rocket league.
... 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.
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).
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
John gba lite with pokemon unbound rom.
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.
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.
Among us and started valley
I really like Logic Wiz sudoku variants Basically sudoku variant puzzles, it's a lot of fun, and has really good puzzles.
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)
Rhythm games, especially Phigros and COXETA. I also like the mobile port of Portal Knights, even if it is inferior compared to the other versions, and the developers have dropped this port.
Melvor! Favorite idle game that has kept my attention for months (I usually lose interest in games in a few weeks).
The video on the app mentions fiendish complexity below the surface. Is that real? How can an idle game have any complexity at all?
Idle games, good ones at least, are about developing a strategy and watching it play out. Complexity comes in how wide a variety of strategies you can play around with and how much they impact how things go.
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
For me, it's using emulation. I'm currently playing Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door from the GameCube, and there are very few android games that can match the quality of older AAA titles.
Plus, no microtransactions!
I like to play Lichess puzzles and chess.com puzzles.
Li-chess? Is that a new form of chess?
Nah it's just a chess app
Bloons TD 6
oh! is there a BTD6 community on lemmy yet?
the discussions, memes, and strats were interesting on the r/.
