Are there actually any good mobile games?
-
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?
Some PC ports that handle touch controls well, like Xcom 2. And emulators.

Plenty of bots to get my buttons kicked in chess.
Any reason why you prefer bots when there's always a random human available?

You'll just need to find a patched .APK to play without a Netflix account.Wish I could find one. Never trust the sites I see it on

Yes yes there's been some incredible Android ports for PC games recently, other than XCOM 2, there was also GRID Autosport and more recently GRID Legends. And recently the original Subnautica also got ported. There was also Alien Isolation if you're into horror games lol

I think no one mentioned these yet: My favorite tablet games are the ports of old BioWare classics like Baldur's Gate 1+2, Icewind Dale, ... Excellent ports imo, bur I did play them on a 10" tablet, I wouldn't try to play them on a phone. https://www.beamdog.com/games/

Yeah, plenty of indie games do really well on mobile formats. Slay the Spire, Balatro, Vampire Survivors, etc… All of those have really basic click-and-drag controls, which means they translate to touchscreen really well. Or if you’re willing to use a Bluetooth controller, (I keep one in my bag), then games like Dead Cells or emulators.

I prefer lichess.org

10€ for card game?! Are you real??

A dream of mine is to make good mobile games, no ads, just a single low purchase. Realistically it just wouldn't be economically viable at all unless there is a free version with ads. But also realistically most mobile gamers aren't using a controller and touchscreens suck.
People on iphone dont have a problem with paying a couple of bucks for a good game so you could make a lot of money if game is realy good..

Infinitode - a tower defense game with a lot of meta progression

Yeah but I would have to bootstrap myself on Android first to get an ios devkit
Although I have also considered cornering the Mac gaming market for basically the same reasons

Not €10 10 $
I’m just giving you shit but yes, how have you not heard about this game yet, watch some Youtubers play it and see why it’s so fucking great holy shit do you like ads in your face every three minutes and micro transactions and no free updates, you do you hon I pay for quality. The soundtrack the visual design the fucking game itself, there’s so much good going on in this game. I support it 1,000,000%.

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…

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.
