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, 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
Merely a gateway drug to Factorio
I’ve started to play endless sky today, really enjoying it so far! Although I’m playing it on my mac but still
How is Endless Sky on Android?
I’ve been playing Escape Velocity/Override/Nova for as long as they’ve been a thing, and have done like 3 laps on Endless Sky on Linux as they’ve added content, the most recent one firmly placing it as the best execution of the genre for me, but I’m not sure how it would translate to a little touchscreen device.I play on both Linux and Android, so I can directly compare. The UI buttons are a little small and the combat is a little different because you’re poking the screen where you want to go instead of using arrow keys, but it’s equally fun on either platform.
Stardew valley. Such a good game that plays great, especially on tablet.
We’ve started it with my girlfriend, both on Android, and we’re hooked. We’re even considering buying the PC version for the multiplayer features.
I usually play on and off. My wife saw me playing and got it, now she’s addicted. Our son saw that I had it on the switch too and started to play it this weekend. Now they are Stardew crackheads.
Vampire Survivors. It makes my phone catch fire but it is fire
Hill Climb Racing 2. I don’t really play much on my smartphone.
Mine are bloons td 6, league of legends, and rocket league.
Lichess
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.
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.
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).
It’s a good while I don’t hear about Osmos, it’s a fun game.
Lots of good memories of Android humble bundles, playing Osmos and Eufloria. Too bad that program petered out
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.

… 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.
sling kong and smashy city r pretty cool games
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.
