… RetroArch.
Hah Not a android game directly but opens up multiple worlds of games for you… so truely a not bad contender
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.
Stardew valley. Such a good game that plays great, especially on tablet.
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).
- 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.
Mine are bloons td 6, league of legends, and rocket league.
I really like Logic Wiz sudoku variants Basically sudoku variant puzzles, it’s a lot of fun, and has really good puzzles.
Bloons TD 6. Only game I’ve had installed for years, the pop pop pop makes my brain happy in a way I can’t explain.
Exactly its a mix of everything its a great TD , with nice graphics and the sounds are simple yet so worth it.
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.
Marvel Snap is cool. You can have a fun time paying 0
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?
Nah it’s just a chess app
Chess 2 just dropped
Holy Hell etc.
Favorite game is Gwent, though I usually play it on desktop. The game I play most often on Android is either Cytus 2 or Dead Cells.
Bit Life is pretty good.
I DO NOT SUPPORT CANDYWRITER. Play the original Instlife, the game the company Candywriter bought and deleted to destroy the competition. You being on Android you can grab an .apk file of it.
Instlife was developed by InstCoffee, a group of two indie game developers. Candywriter was at the time a 10 people company.
Instlife began development in 2016, and started gaining raising traction in 2017. BitLife was released for iOS only during the Instlife massive boom in popularity in 2018, while Instlife still had no iOS version. Bitlife gained steam thanks to a few dirty tactics (Instlife ran no ad campaigns and completely free, while Bitlife constantly spent on video ads on other games and websites and had a in-game barrier forcing people to share the game on Twitter if they wanted to have all features) and being the only game on iOS of its type it during the boom of course started doing numbers.
For every Instlife update, Bitlife would come 1 week later with the exact same feature as a carbon copy. (With Instlife gone, Bitlife actually diverged heavily from the original concept).
When Instlife began making and distributing its iOS version, Bitlife started losing players moving to the original and at the time much more complete and polished game. Not too long after the iOS release, Candywriter bought full rights to Instlife (the amount of money was never disclosured, but the acquisition was confirmed by both parties). It lasted a week under the new ownership, where it then got silently removed from both Play Store and Apple App Store and followed tweet from Candywriter announcing the acquisition and the imminent release of the Android port of Bitlife.

What’s this one about?
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.
