Good mobile games

[KiruBit]

Hey everyone,
Lately I've been trying to find some actually interesting mobile games. Not the usual stuff full of ads or endless clickers. It doesn't have to be new or fancy. Just something that feels like someone actually cared when making it.
(Android preferred).
Would love to hear your favourites.

Baseball 9 is excellent and, while there's a hint of the pay-to-win factor, is usually pretty subtle.

I never spent a cent on it and I pretty much beat it.

While these are ports of console and PC games, I really enjoyed "Retro City Rampage" and "Unreal Life". The former is essentially GTA, but with nice pixel art and a ton of 80s pop culture references.

The latter is a nice story driven puzzle adventure game with nice pixel art and an atmospheric soundtrack.

candies and curses is one of my favorite games to play, the pixel art is gorgeous with a rougelite mechanic

Slice & Dice

Slice & Dice by tann

Roguelike dice tactics game

If you're into rally games, I highly recommend Rush Rally 3.

Desert Golfing. Doesn't require wi-fi, I don't believe there are any ads, and is a good time waster when you're waiting in a line somewhere or whatever.

lichess

Adventure Bar Story if you want a good and simple RPG to play on the go.

Let's clarify the exact meaning of a "good" game for mobile: no online game.

Being said that, I will skip games that you can play on consoles for obvious reasons.

You have a few of games worth playing, such as Inotia series, Ex Astris or Witch Spring series as well.

But this was already asked 4 months ago. Couldn't you search first if somebody did ask for this before opening a new thread? maybe it would have enough info already.

The GTA trilogy and Ace Attorney games. Pretty much the only good things you can buy on mobile. As the App Store is an endless cesspool of garbage.

angry birds

The monument valley series along with Lara croft go were my favorite puzzle games on my phone. For action Death's door and Streets of rage 4 were excellent too.

Aka to blue, riptide gp renegade, vampire survivors, the professor Layton games if you understand Japanese then knights in the nightmare

If you are ok with using Java emulator like J2ME Loader or something you may play Cyberpunk: The Arasaka's Plot. And yes it's the first video game of Cyberpunk series before Cyberpunk 2077 and TBH it's a very cool game IMO. Then you may explore some old Java games like Gravity Defied, Gangstar series, Saints Row games and XIII.

Vampire survivors, you can turn of the ads by the way

 

[pendrag]

Shogun Showdown, Slice and dice, Balatro, Stardew Valley, crashlands 2

 

[reila]

Terra battle fucking rip in pieces I miss it

Zen Pinball World, the original tables are kind of crap, but the Williams/Midway ones are still amazing after all these years. The game is free to play and there are ads, but they're not aggressive and are just mainly before you fully load a table

Shattered pixel dungeon and Mindustry.
A rogue like and a RTS sandbox tower defense and factory manager
No ads, no micro transactions, no booster pack/pass and you can play offline.
The learning curve is a bit steep but once you get the hang of it it can become addictive.

Thank you guys, seriously. I didn’t expect so many great replies. Gonna be busy trying all these out.

 

[BigTony]

FGO is great because i hate my life and love astolfo

 

[Dyne]

Final Fantasy Dimensions -- fun throwback to 16-bit FF games
Solomon's Keep -- I played this a lot, toying with different builds
Battleheart
Cut the Rope

These are old because I don't really play mobile games anymore now that my phone can run emulators.

Really surprised no one mentioned the classics such as Fruit Ninja, Temple Run, Jetpack Joyride (to some extent), Minecraft Pocket Edition, Plants VS Zombies 2, Asphalt 8, Beat The Boss and if you like playing chess or want to get started, chess.com of course.

But then again maybe my soul is stuck in the 2010s. Some of these games may not be available anymore (not sure), but they can be found on .apk websites anyway.

Even the music of old android games had soul:
