Monument valley is pretty good and has no ads or micro transactions

Tolookah ,

Kingdom Rush has been fun and not needy. (The first one?)

BeMoreCareful ,

Ive tried the second and it’s good too. Pretty fun tower defense and no need to buy anything or watch ads.

What about KOFA2012?

I’ve rather enjoyed 20 Minutes Till Dawn

I’ve only played it on PC but I like this quite a bit as well

Shattered Pixel Dungeon. If you like Roguelikes.

I hate this game so much. I played 3 times yesterday.

That’s OK, you can also play it if you hate Roguelikes.

Knights of the old Republic has been on there for a while.

Emulators.

Slay the Spire.

saltesc ,

I don’t think I’ve mobile gamed without emulators for like 4 or 5 gens of phones now. I was a young man back in those days…

grandma OP ,

I’ve never bothered to set up an emulator on my phone but it’s a great idea, any recommendations in particular?

GameBoy Advance games work really well IMO, they’re designed for small screens and lengthening aspect ratios leave tons of space for virtual buttons.

sturlabragason ,

Advance Wars is awesome. I played it only on mobile 😅

popcap200 ,

Basically anything really well rated should be fine!

TomSelleck ,

Vampire survivors is one of the best time killers. Slay The Spire is also fun.

GiantRobotTRex ,

I’d add Slice and Dice to that list

If you like roguelike card builders, Dawncaster is great

xmunk ,

Dawncaster is excellent. I was amazed at how deep the game is for a mobile deck builder.

It also uses an expansion based monetization rather than micro transactions and the expansions absolutely aren’t necessary to get a lot of enjoyment out of the game.

GiantRobotTRex ,

I really liked Dawncaster but then I didn’t play it for awhile and when I came back it had changed significantly and all the builds that I used to win with consistently no longer worked out. Honestly it’s probably more balanced now than before but I haven’t spent enough time with it to get good again.

folkrav ,

Honestly I’m just bad at it so I rarely finish a run regardless. But it’s fun at least, and I bought the expansions mostly to encourage the business model.

My favorite is Time Surfer. The core mechanic is basically the same as Tiny Wings, but the theme, artwork, levels, etc are all very different. I especially enjoy the chiptunes!

audiomodder ,

I’m on iOS and actually pay for Apple Arcade. It’s been worth it. I don’t bother looking anywhere else for mobile games anymore.

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

Tyoda ,

Swordigo is the single decent mobile game. Still, I didn’t expect to see it already mentioned. Neat!

You Must Build a Boat and Triple Town are simple but excellent. Slay the Spire is incredible - can’t recommend it enough.

Slice & Dice is the best game I’ve ever gotten on my phone, I bought it over Thanksgiving in 2021 and haven’t stopped playing it since. It’s similar to deck builders, but dice based.

It’s $7 on mobile, but has a good free to try demo. So you can see if you like it for free. It’s also available on Steam and itch.io

The game is still in active development, but the dev only releases updates every 1-1.5 years. The updates are absolutely massive though and add a ton of content.

Board game adaptations tend to be good. Everdell and bottom of the ninth for preference.
