Highly recommend Dawncaster if you like Slay The Spire / deck builders. I think I paid $6 for it and I've probably played 40 hours or so. Just an honest to goodness straight up good game that happens to be on mobile.
No gache/gems/freemium nonsense/etc.
Egg Inc. was alright but mostly yes.
Wait what? I understand the addictiveness and I spent probably a year of my life making eggs, but egg inc is just an above average idle game. It's problematic by it's very definition.
Some of the only mobile games I play regularly are Unciv, Mindustry and funnily enough Wild Rift.
Been playing Oddmar, a fantastic platformer on iOS.
It’s fun to play on the phone, but getting a controller and playing on the iPad is chef’s kiss
I have exactly one game on my phone. Bloons Tower Defense 6. Without a doubt a great game!
Might not be your cup of tea, but I like Dungeon Village 2.
Depends on what you like my friend!
Tap Wizard 2 and Home Quest have been recent favorites in the "idle simulation" space Also Vampire Survivors and Melvor Idle are both on mobile platforms so it is objectively false to call all mobile games bad 😉
Lots of great games, but as already mentioned the FTP are a mess. I subscribe to the Google Play Pass, which give me a pretty good selection of games with no ads or in-app purchases. Helps protect me from the crap out there so its worth it IMO.
Moonshades on android is a good knock off of heros of might and magic
If you try to search the Windows Store, you’ll also get a whole bunch of terrible mobile-esque games. I think the issue is having a “Game Store” integrated into a device, that cannot morally turn away games of any kind or enforce their own prioritization. iOS pretty much needs to allow any kind of app to stay fair.
If we could have a third party App Store on phones kind of like Steam, I think perhaps they could set a bar of quality that allows genuine, meaningful $10 games to be sold there. But, that’s a sizable barrier for entry when most tinkerers that would install a store like Steam are on Windows PCs.
There's an Android app called "minireview" which has tons of reviews of games on Google Play and helps filter out the garbage.
Since I didn't see it here.... Banner saga 1,2 &3 are absolutely wonderful.
Postknight :D
I once had an android port of dune 2,I think it was of questionable legality licence wise.
I don't remember if it was in the store or if I loaded it.
I lost it's source but later another version surfaced, but didn't work as well.
I played through all houses twice each on mobile. Was a great time remembering my 1990's gaming.
Mmm.. I think I have that apk on my phone. Works wonderfully. There's a little button in the top left to purchase tanks but it doesnt work.
Id say League is probably the closest you’re going to get to a “real” game. Reasonable prices. No P2W. And the game is super polished and quality.
