Dicey Dungeons is an example of a game that I think is actually BETTER on mobile (cheaper too). Awesome game, and the touch controls really streamline it.

Good mobile game = ports from PC games and emulators

miHoYo games could be so much more if they are PC/Console games instead of mobile.

The only truly mobile game that I can think of that I can say is good is Pokemon GO, and I don’t even like it but is the only game that truly uses the uniqueness of the mobile platform as a game feature.

Old-school RuneScape being on mobile makes it the best mobile game of all time

Besides some small things like Sudoku or Crossword, OSRS is the only game on my phone

Minecraft is on mobile, and alot if other platforms…

There’s an insane number of PC ports. You can play Myst or GTA SA.

On the multiplayer side, genshin is very much your traditional MMO, if you like that. You can also play Eve or Hades star.

In terms of a competitive scene for years we had vainglory (forever in our hearts), and now we have LoL wild rift.

Yea but touch screen controls are the worst. I hate using those virtual joysticks

Wanderer ,

I got mini metro on my PC. Felt like that would have been a great game to have on a phone

GissaMittJobb ,

It’s on mobile.

Wanderer ,

Yea I know. But I can’t speak for if it’s shit or not.

Mobile gaming is awful these days. The vast majority are just cash grabs.

That said I look forward to Balatro being released

“These days?” As if it was ever good?

Well, it is kinda true. Many old games I had on my phone that were free and didn't have ads, in the last few years have received updates to do literally nothing, but include ads. So "these days" is the case for some.

Swarfega ,

It was in the early days of the Apple App Store. Games were 59p to buy. No in-app purchases and were generally good indie titles. “Helsing’s Fire” comes to mind. Miss that game!

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Before it went f2p, yeah. Angry bird, pvz port, world of goo, ridiculous fishing, all fun stuff

GissaMittJobb ,

With a bit of know-how, you can make a mobile version that works quite well: github.com/blake502/balatro-mobile-maker

The secret is to find one that works on aeroplane mode

If you have android you can run some pc games on it but not everything runs

Are we going to act like Plants vs Zombies doesn’t exist?

cordlesslamp ,

PvZ was originally on PC.

Have you tried the mobile version? It’s utter garbage cash-grab.

Atrichum ,

Haven’t played it on mobile since 2012. Even on a tiny ass iPhone 3gs screen it was solid.

Terraria, but it’s a lot better on PC. You can transfer your character files and maps with a little effort though.

DevilutionX is pretty good if you liked Diablo 1.

And then there are the insane lists of ROMs/emulators.

squidspinachfootball ,

Pokemon was a fun emulate, anything else people like? Kirby games might be good too. Hmmm

BrotherL0v3 ,

I have been enjoying Slice and Dice. Roguelikes scratch a certain itch for me.

Wilzax ,

Professor Layton is on iOS does that count

Layton is baby puzzles. Or at least it made me feel that way after two levels.

I like Genshin Impact tho 😭

davidgro ,

I find Honkai: Star Rail even more suited to mobile (It’s mostly not reaction time based) but still play Genshin also. Not as much as I did, but still too much.

popekingjoe ,
@popekingjoe@lemmy.world avatar

Star Rail is a damn solid turn-based RPG and is kinda perfect on mobile.

There was a dude on reddit who started doing short reviews of mobile games he liked, then ended up creating an app that focused on curated community reviews. It’s not perfect but at least it’s got decent filters for genres, which alone makes it a hell of a lot better than wading into the play store

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

pelya ,

I’ve seen several curated recommendation websites born and die over the years. I’m surprised that MiniReview still works.

There’s also slant.co and multiple blogs like AndroidPolice, although they all now feature sponsored content - ads for shitty Android games.
