    I downloaded this last night and came back to say thanks! Great so far and it looks like there's a lot more content to get through and fun builds to try

      Mobile games usually get a bad rep as they're usually asset flips and/or MTX-ridden and/or ad-filled, etc., and I'm sure this is actually the case for most games on the app/play store. But are there any ones that are actually good, maybe just something to pass the time with?

      Recently I really enjoyed Acecraft which is a gatcha bullet hell with cuphead art style. Its really charming and very much skill based to a point. The only negative is this constant clicking on shit to collect all of the coin garbage which eventually made me quit it but it was fun for a while.

        I payed for most of my games but 10€ is to much for a game like this. Im from Europe so my prices are in € not $. Often for 1€ higher than $ prices. Like its not enough that 10€ is more than 10$ alredy…

              Piggybacking onto this (all of these are FOSS):

              Endless Sky is a 2D sandbox space sim. It's a spiritual sequel to the old Escape Velocity: Nova, and has very active development.

              Feudal Tactics is an extremely simple strategy game that can nonetheless be quite hard.

              Battle For Wesnoth is a whole-ass fantasy campaign turn-based strategy game that has been ported to mobile. Think Warcraft but turn-based.

              Arx Libertatis is a port of Arx Fatalis, a first-person RPG. This one is still on my list to try out, but it looks interesting.

              Feudal Tactics looks like a Slay clone. My favorite Slay clone is Konkr, playable in a browser.

                If they are using iPhone, their chances of being able to find a pirated copy and getting it to work are practically zero without deep technical knowledge

                    The Room by fireproof games. Probably one of the first actual proper mobile games. Its spawned clones no IAP, no crap. Just fun, hard af puzzles.

                    Hoplite. Fun little iso turn based roguelike.
                    Vampire Survivors. Reverse bullet-hell roguelike. Has spawned so, so, so many clones..
                    GTA:Chinatown Wars Have not played this is a very very long time, but i'm sure it still holds up (if its available). Old school (2d birds eye view) gta style.

                    These are games that work well without a controller, The Room actually would play worse with one. If at all.

                    Then of course theres emulators and roms and stuff.

                    I think the opposite of a bullet hell is a bullet heaven, and vampire survivors counts.

                          You Must Build a Boat is an RPG/match 3 hybrid with no shady shit. Pay once. Own the game. It's pretty fun.

                              I honestly think Hayday is one of the best free farm games, It does have paid currency but it's not forced on you.
                              You can watch optional Ads for a few daily random items but these are not forced, you're the one who has to click the ticket near the mail box.

                              Supercell make some of the best games that aren't fully scummy.

                                  The only good mobile games that i can think of are ports.

                                  Like Knights of the Old Republic.

                                    CMV: Towers and Unequal are literally impossible to beat at their harder/hardest difficulty levels without any cheating or guessing.

                                          I haven't gotten this for a very unusual and stupid reason. I'd want it on my phone, and on my pc\steam deck; but don't want to pay for it twice, out of spite.

                                          I refuse to but it on mobile because I already bought it on steam.

                                          Because when I get into balatro I get hooked hard, and the last thing I need is immediate access to fucking crack every where I am.
