Any good Android games that aren't roguelikes?

  The Myboy Emulators let you load gba roms onto your phone to play, i have FF6 and a few pokemon games.

  Roller Coaster Tycoon 1/2 are on the google play store.

  I listed some decent Android games I know of in a past thread.

  The real secret is to look for board game adaptations and stuff you’d normally find on Steam.

  I also have expanded my list for when I have the Play credit and desire for more mobile games:

  • Golf Peaks, Pup Champs, and Railbound — more puzzle games by Afterburn, the same developers as inbento
  • Digital board game adaptations by Dire Wolf Digital, like Root, Everdell, Clank!, and the Fox in the Forest
  • Coromon and Cassette Beasts for your creature-collecting needs

  Balatro is rogue like? Maybe I don’t understand the genre as much as I thought.

    These days when people say roguelike they just mean a game that divides its gameplay into short, disconnected runs instead of one long, continuous save. It unfortunately has nothing to do with whether a game is anything like Rogue.

      Yes, the term is often misapplied, but Balatro has the other key part of actually being a roguelike which is leveling up your build periodically from a randomly selected set of options. The bosses are also randomly selected. It very much is a roguelike

    The definition of roguelike has been stretched to the point of near-uselessness, lol. Nowadays, any game with permadeath and “runs” is classified as a roguelike.

    Personally, I’d prefer it if we stuck a little closer to the Berlin Interpretation definition.

  Some of my favorites:

  • Bloons TD 6 (paid)
  • Levelhead (paid)
  • Fancy Pants Adventures
  • EDGE Extended (paid)
  • Mindustry
  • Data Wing
  • Streets of Rage 4 (paid)

  I had a bigger list around somewhere but I can’t find it… These games are all pretty darn good though.

  Mini Metro is great.

  My first purchase when I get a job will be Baba is You. Looks really good and has great reviews.

  Stardew valley is on mobile.

  Antimatter Dimensions is the best idle game ive ever played. Top 3 at the very least. While not much of a “game” I still want to plug it.

  Not my links, came across them a little while ago. Haven’t gone through full lists, just skimmed them, but they look good.

  Planscape torment is in there if you want some old school crpg.

  ScummVM is an old point and click adventure game engine with a ton of classics (Sam and max, day of the tentacle, Indiana Jones, etc).

  lichess.org for free chess, puzzles and matches for different modes

  Alphacross is pretty good for crosswords but it looks like they don’t let you add your own sources which is a bummer and a couple sources have circled letters in puzzles that don’t show up that can make it a little janky

  I’m not sure what kind of games you are looking for but I’ve been playing Honkai Impact 3rd. The android version doesn’t have controller or mouse support but it has keyboard support and it’s fine. I think every action is mapped to the keyboard but the game doesn’t always tell you what everything is, the only one I’m not sure of is specifically the swiping QTE but QTEs are not used very often, so I never really had an issue with just using the touch screen for those. I would also imagine that Mihoyo’s other games are good too but I haven’t played them yet.

  Another game I can suggest is Lego Star Wars the Complete Saga, if you like that kind of game. As far as I can tell, it’s mostly identical to the PC version but with the one difference being that the multiplayer has been removed.

  The original, Magic Survival!

  play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vkslrzm…

  Free and fun to play. Minimal ads with a purchase to remove. Just got a huge new update. Inspiration of Vampire Survivors (also a great game!) and many others.

  I really like The Quest for being a simple first person, dungeon crawler RPG. There’s an overworld and towns and a story, so it’s not just straight dungeon crawling. Nothing mold-breaking, but for a mobile game that I just want to fill some time when I have nothing else in my pockets, it absolutely does the trick.

  Exiled Kingdoms is a great old-school RPG. Paid but worth it.

  I use Mini Review for most of my android game finding. I find that if they give an overall score of 8 and above, I almost always like the game.

  I’m currently enjoying the idle clicker Magic Research 2 It doesn’t feel like most idlers. There’s monsters to fight that need some strategy and a pretty good plot where I actually read everything! Most games have plot that is so boring and rehashed that it’s not worth reading, but Magic Research 2 was a lot of fun. I played the demo a bit and bought the full version before running into whatever limits were in the demo.

  I enjoy necromerger for a merge game. Very minimal ADs. Has a fun story and events.
