What's your most favorite android games right now?
(lemmy.world)
... RetroArch.
Do you use any sort of controller, or just use the on screen buttons?
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).
Among us and started valley
I love starred valley
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.
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.
- 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.
sling kong and smashy city r pretty cool games
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.
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).
Vampire Survivors. It makes my phone catch fire but it is fire
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)
Mine are bloons td 6, league of legends, and rocket league.
Vampire Survivor. I love games that i can play offline.
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?
Chess 2 just dropped
Holy Hell etc.
Nah it's just a chess app
Mighty Doom is a fun auto shooter, made by Bethesda and has minimal ads (opt to watch for rewards) and micro transactions are not required to win.
Marvel Snap is cool. You can have a fun time paying 0
I do really like that so far paying is completely optional. I found so many of the android F2P are good for a couple weeks (or only days) before you realize you need to spend money to really play the game.
Came here to say this. Not only can you have fun F2P, the games are quick, so you can play one in a few minutes.
Stardew valley. Such a good game that plays great, especially on tablet.
Bloons TD 6
oh! is there a BTD6 community on lemmy yet?
the discussions, memes, and strats were interesting on the r/.
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
Hill Climb Racing 2. I don't really play much on my smartphone.
Lichess
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
Stardew Valley, Xenowerk and Don't Starve Pocket Edition.
Isle of Arrows. It's a tower defense game but there are also elements from board games and puzzles. And the visuals are really nice.
I loved Defense Grid on PC, and the coop TD game Sanctum. But I haven't found a TD on android that I have played past a few levels on yet on Android.
- Lichess - Parce que les échecs c'est trop bien
- Mindustry - Parce que le jeux est ultra bien fait et que la gestion de ressources c'est cool et reposant
- Slice & Dice - J'aime bien le fait que le jeux utilise les dés pour les attaques et la façon dont les personnages s'améliore
Translated: Lichess - Because chess is so good Mindustry - Because the game is very well done and resource management is cool and relaxing Slice & Dice - I like how the game uses dice for attacks and how the characters improve
