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.
Unciv is open source Civ with mod support. Rogue Adventure is a really good card game that I think has a free version, but they’ve been adding features for years now. It’s kinda like Slay the Spire with simpler graphics
Dicey Dungeons is a great fit on mobile and has an A+ soundtrack
Ascension is one of my favorite deck building games, and the mobile version is good
Shattered Pixel Dungeon is pretty great, still getting frequent content updates and it’s fucking free with no ads
Mini Metro- I guess this would be kind of a puzzle game. You connect stops on a metro and have to make sure that the passengers don’t have to wait too long for the train.
