Stardew valley. Such a good game that plays great, especially on tablet.
Here’s my games folder:
Finding mobile games that aren’t live service garbage is tough but at least a lot of good PC games just port to android.
Here’s mine. Ignore the background.
Yep, there’s a grass touching simulator. I mostly play Bus Simulator: Ultimate, though it gets my battery temperature to 55°C. Enough to hurt on fingers.

- 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.
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.
Mine are bloons td 6, league of legends, and rocket league.
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
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.
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.
… 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.
Stardew Valley, Xenowerk and Don’t Starve Pocket Edition.
I keep coming back to Stardew. Such a fun game.
It has quickly become one of my favourite games when I started playing a few months back. I mainly play on PC with a few QoL mods, but I think it works great on a smart phone as well! Great game to have in your pocket! The only bad thing I’ve encountered on Android, is that the cursor in the menu does not become visible when you’ve a controller connected. It’s there, but you can´t see it. Kinda annoying, but I could fix this by forcing it with a mod (I forgot which one, but I can look it up if you want). It’s one of my favourite games to play when I just want to chill without thinking too much.
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.
Mindustry is such a gem. It’s cross platform too, You can find it here
Lichess and Worldbox
Vampire Survivors. It makes my phone catch fire but it is fire
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).
