Give me suggestions for mobile games that don’t suck ass
Currently the only games on my phone are
Reigns: Her Majesty - Card based roguelike, you’re the Queen pick between decisions to balance the favor of different groups, progressing through a larger story over multiple lives. Sequel to Reigns which is also great.
Baba is You - Puzzle game, push words and objects around to change the rules of the world the puzzle is in to complete the puzzle.
Polytopia - What if Civ was so simple it wasn’t very fun
Pokémon GO -
Mindustry always gets mentioned here, it’s a 2D automation tower defense game with a pretty cool campaign and a tech tree to keep you busy.
Pixel Dungeon and its mods also are commonly mentioned, it’s a pretty challenging old school RPG.
Stormbound is a pretty interesting PVP card game, I used to play it a lot a long time ago, don’t know if they made it P2W at some point. It’s kinda like a simpler version of Hearthstone but with positional/board game mechanics.
Edit: Forgot to mention good idle games:
Realm Grinder - Extremely long idle game that you can play for literal months and still have tons of new stuff being unlocked continually. The P2W mechanics are pretty unnecessary and don’t really matter, except making some achievements slightly easier to get.
Antimatter Dimensions - Also very long, with no P2W at all basically, and very cool prestige mechanics.
Clicker Heroes - Much more P2W and similar to the usual mobile game slop, but worth mentioning because it does have some pretty sick prestige mechanics that add a lot of depth.
Good recommendation - Realm Grinder is like Cookie Clicker but completely bonkers in just how many layers it has. Incredibly ambitious game design.
Any of the Kairosoft games! The paid ones are full ass games. I usually get anywhere from 10-30 hours out of one.
Bunch of fun themed simulation games. Ive given them hundreds of dollars at this point, in even double dipping a little because they’ve been porting their games to steam.
If you have Netflix, they have a 3 Kingdoms themed sequel to Reigns that’s good too.
Most of my mobile gaming has come from there because there are no microtransactions on their games. It’s nice to play games that aren’t solely focused on draining your wallet. Other games I liked were:
Desta - a dodgeball tactical RPG
Pinball Masters - a mobile port of Pinball FX
Storyteller - a puzzle game designed around writing fairy tales
Skies of Chaos - a vertical scrolling shooter with upgradable planes
Poinpy - a physics-based, Tower-climbing puzzle game
Relic Hunters: Rebels - a twin stick ARPG like Enter the Gungeon
Shattered Pixel Dungeon is pretty great, still getting frequent content updates and it’s fucking free with no ads
