So ive had a phone for a bit now but i struggle at finding game sand apps to put on it especially free ones. its kinda mid range dphone it cant run genshin impact at all but it runs stuff like battle cats really well i also struggle at finding good or useful apps to download so if you know any please suggest some or something.
I recommend Vampire Survivors. It’s kind of like a rougelite meets bullet hell.
This game cost me almost as much time as reddit. Now that I have more time in my life maybe it’s time for a few more runs… I can’t recommend it enough. It does start out slow though.
Can’t believe you’re the only vamp survivors recommendation so far.
Vampire Survivors is digital crack hahaha. I watched a friend play it and thought “That looks so stupid.” Then I tried it, and wound up sharing it with like five other friends who said the same thing I did, and then also got addicted.
Seriously, it looks like it’ll be boring but sinks it’s teeth into you, (pun intended) then all of a sudden you’ve been sitting on the toilet for 40 minutes.
Oh man, I remember seeing that a while ago and meaning to take note of it, and I apparently forgot. I need to try that out
Shattered Pixel Dungeon is fun
Holy shit I haven’t played pixel dungeon in so fucking long. Did they ever add more plot or is it still hack and slash madness? I’m down af either way
5x different heros, i havent been able to get past the 11th floor though. its tricky
I’m a big fan of FarmRPG. Semi-idle “numbers go up”, mostly text + static images game with a lovely community. It has zero ads and, even though it has a paid currency and some very unoptimized ways to spend it, the game is very generous with it (to the point where I’ve earned the vast majority of my currency by trading resources). It’s a bit janky, but fun.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon is free and great fun. It’s a roguelike dungeon exploration game, there are many forks of the original Pixel Dungeon but this is my favorite one. Similar to this is Hoplite, a very short (in the free version) turn-based, almost puzzle-like game where you have to get through monster-filled rooms to proceed. Lots of mechanics that you have to learn to use in order to survive.
For more strategy, seconding Polytopia, as well as Unciv (it even has mods!), which is a Civilization-like game.
For a simple but fun gameplay loop, Alto’s Adventure and Alto’s Odyssey, where you slide your way down various landscapes. The latter especially adds a lot of fun little tweaks onto the original’s formula.
I Love Hue and especially I Love Hue 2 are great “arrange the colors properly” games. Hundreds of levels, no nonsense, solid fun.
Go download Fdroid and go to town, its a great repository of FOSS android apps
https://gamesnacks.com/ can be installed as a PWA if you’re interested in casual games.
Mindustry has a bit of a slow start, but i was hooked for weeks when i first downloaded.
Simon Tatham’s Puzzles is a fantastic FOSS collection of logic puzzles. The only good mobile game, really.
Fantastic reccomendation thank you!
Just downloaded and this is great! Thanks for the rec.
I like minesweeper and sudoku. I heard good things about 20 minutes till dawn (like vampire survivors).
Like 10 years ago I used to play questlord (dungeon crawler) and pocket god (god game), those games ought to run on your phone. Also that was back before 99% of mobile games were made as games first and foremost.Minesweeper or sudoku are great if your internet connection/phone isn’t great and you want to kill some time.
are there any more you know of because i tend to game hop becasue i get bored easily for some reason.
Good collection of logic games here. No ads, open source, offline. Android port available. https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/
Wordle and 2048 are also games I’ve enjoyed
If you’re still bored, maybe an ebook reader like Libby or librera reader
Or a podcast app - I use antennapod
If you want to have a time killer and invest into a game with no benefits. Marvel Strike Force is a good time killer. Been playing it on and off for 3-4 years now.
It’s not free, but Slice & Dice is the best mobile game I’ve ever played. It has a pretty large and good demo that’s worth playing by itself.
I highly recommend Opacha-mda
Marvel Snap is super fun, it’s a really good way to kill a few minutes
If your looking for games, I really like nonogram and geometry dash.
I highly recommend kingdom rush. Imo one of the best tower defense games.
