is there any android game that is not a pay2win waitfest/grindfest?
i only have minecraft PE installed, and phone feels empty as fuck but i cant find any f2p game worth shit on the play store...
is there a hope for mobile gaming or should i just give up?
whats the point on buying a 600$ phone when every game in it thats worth shit can be played on the PC....
>>315364898
I like fate grand order
Its grindy though
>>315365402
typical korean rpg/card game?
yea i been through like 10 of those lol
>>315365739
Its japanese, and its not a card game.
Pixel Dungeon is GOAT if you can get into that sort of thing
>>315364898
there''s no such thing as a f2p game without ads. i learned this when i got You Must Build a Boat. solid game. worth the money, especially because no ads
Buy your games you fucking jewor just pirate the good ones
>>315366137
like what enlighten me
Give brave frontier a try, it isnt p2w if you are able to manage the use of free gems earned while playing.
>>315366667
>But you don't HAVE to pay
Every time. Doesn't change the fact that the core of the game is designed around currency, which is always shit.
>>315364898
>android
>not using emulators
jesus fuck it sure is summer in here
>>315364898
I'm pretty sure they ported Heroes 3 on android.
>>315364898
Dragon Quest I-VIII. Though the android versions are shit.
ski safari 2 muh nigga
Why not just get RetroArch and emulate actual games, OP?
some fun games include:
Punch Quest
Osmos HD
Okay?
Deep Loot
MagicTouch: Wizard For Hire
Daddy Long Legs
?
Flow Free
Canabalt HD
Beat Hazard Ultra
those are just some that I've played and every single one of them is either free or is available on Pirate Bay. While I'd say they're all fun I'd never consider them particularly good games; though in some cases the devs are genuinely talented and passionate about video games, they're just stuck to a shitty platform.
also a SNES and GBA emulator go without saying.
>>315369112
that question mark above Flow Free is supposed to be an infinity symbol. Didn't realize it wouldn't post that properly.
>>315364898
Fallout Vault is pretty decent.
>>315365878
Did they ever fix the boomerang getting lost in chasm levels?
Cardinal Quest II is a better roguelike since it has an endless mode and difficulty settings. Really great game even though it's still child
s play if you play real roguelikes like DCSS
King of thieves, is not grindy and has very good pace to keep you playing, and even people that pay are not safe of getting fucked by other players.
>He doesn't patch apps to remove ads and get free in-app purchases
>>315364898
There's no free games, if that's what you are asking, It's all pay to win shit or mobile ports of existing games.
Terra Battle is pretty good if you don't mind gashapon. Even the low-tier characters are still decent you'll just have to level them up more than the high tier ones.
nimble quest
>>315364898
That's the problem. Mobile gaming is cancer and full of iditos. That's why they can sell phone worth of the 600$ and keep people playing games that you can skip time if you toss money at the phone.
If you want game with something deeper, you need to stop looking at mobile's direction.
Yu Gi Oh Duel Generation on android is pretty nice
I love Puzzle and Dragons despite being one if those games. It's so well balanced you can play with no IAPs fairly easily. Of course, the stamina thing is an issue when you're starting out.
Still, I found it better than any other game of the same style. Most fair, most generous and best gameplay.
>>315374569
It's probably the reason why it's one of if not the most popular mobile games in Japan next to that monster flicking game that's like pool kinda.
the two android games that impressed me the most are
Shadow fight 2 - (free but you have to grind sometimes if you don't want to pay. still playing it for 20-30 mins per day is a pretty good experience)
Reaper - has a free demo version and it can be pirated, makes the most of the touch screen controls is a great action game and has some rpg elements
>whats the point on buying a 600$ phone when every game in it thats worth shit can be played on the PC....
Good emulation on the road. Advance Wars is great for long commutes.
Slayin
All the adult swim games
Have fun
>>315374793
forgot to mention plants vs zombies 2 seems decent too
>>315364898
>Not emulating ur pc on ur phone
Any TD or comfy game in general?
>>315378136
How is remote play by the way, never tried it. Can you legitimately play games from your PC on your mobile?
I was going to shill pic related, but it's iOS only.
>>315381939
The milkman?!
>>315364898
Android Games are literal fucking cancer.
I used to process refunds for them.
The Playerbase is composed of entitled manchildren who dump tens of thousands of dollars into Clash of Clans, and Game of War -Fire Age.
It's not uncommon to get some butthurt manchild asking for a 15,000 USD refund because he got stomped by some one else.
To top it off, theirs also tons of refund abusers, its not uncommon for people with 1 day olds accounts to drop 1000 bucks on in-app items,and then claim their children did it. By the time the refund is processed the items are moved, or sold, so even if the devs wanted to remove them its difficult.
Fuck Mobile Gaming.
>>315364898
>f2p
There's your problem. The good mobile games cost money.
80 Days is fun as fuck for a few playthroughs if you are into that sort of thing, story based games with lots of text and a steampunk setting.
It is also available for PC as far as I know, but I think it'd work better on mobile.
>>315382018
No idea what you are referencing.
Beat Sneak Bandit is a Rhythm Puzzle game. You move forward one "space" by tapping to the beat. Tap off the beat, and your character will freeze and destroy any clocks on your platform level (You collect clocks to unlock special stages) There are hazards/shill

>Fallout Shelter on Android
>No Cloud Save
>All game data stored on mobile device
>Game offers in-app purchases
>Game has glitches that erase vaults, these effect practically every user at a certain point

>>315382147
Whats the most someone has spent on Clash of Clans? I've been playing it for like a year and I'm ashamed of myself because I once spent $20. Can't imagine people spending hundreds never mind thousands.
>>315382147
Well, at least these rich people with spending and competition addictions and poor impulse control haven't resorted to using the rest of us as bloodsport yet, though I imagine that's about 3 years out. At least that's plenty of time to win the Powerball.
>>315382346The most I saw was 60,000 USD in a year
>>315382346
I played Boom Beach for like 500+ hours and never spent a single cent on it, It's pure garbage but I only play because my dad is playing too and he's happy we do something together.
>>315382147
>>315382346
I've heard the stories; I'm interested as well.
Most I spent was $5 on a casino app. Lost it all in 1 fell swoop. Felt sick for days.
Well, Deemo is a pretty good game. You should try it.
Neko atsume :3
>>315382147
Is there anyway I could spent 1000's and not have to pay?
Shadowrun dragonfall is pretty good on phone if your screen is big enough.
otherwise just emulate DS era games, like 999 or ace attourney
>no mention of angry birds
>>315364898
Into the dead
dead ahead
those are fun wastes of time with no reason to spend money. Other than that get some emulators and turn based RPG's.
>>315382379
Casinos are our savior. In De Niro we Pesci, Amen.
>>315366894

The people who defend LoL as not being p2w are just entirely missing the point because they're 12 and have never experienced anything better.

>on clash of clans
>>315382491
Casino Apps are pretty bad too, because people have legit gambling addictions. I'm not sure why they play them on Mobile, as both Google, and Apple has policies against offering money or items in Gambling games.
So essentially they dump all of their money into a casino that never pays out.
>>315364898
Humble Bundle games are hit or miss but at least they are not usually p2w grindfests...
I am playing a lot of IF lately. Its better than the Choose your Story shit on the store and works well enough. Some great games, little battery consumption, looks like you might have a social life while using it.

>>315383086
Holy shit, that is brilliant.
This shit right here...
been playing this shit for more than a year and I can tell you there's more to it than some tower defense game.
most premium stuff can be earned ingame and there's a gacha capsule mechanic which is addictive as fuck.
also it has a sizable non-cancerous fanbase on both the west and the east and garnered enough attention to collab with other gamedev company.
There is dungeon crawl stone soup full version for android, guys.
Pls recommend emulators for android.
I recently got my first android phone and am overwhelmed by the sheer amount of emulators in the store.
>>315383614
> Being an offline plebeian.
Seriously though, game doesn't translate well to touch. I have tried. Do yourself a favour and play it on PC.
Surprisingly enough Nethack is the reoguelike with the best Android ports.
>>315383806
Forgot pic
ConnectBot+SSH+CRAWL.XTAHUA.COM+Hackers Keyboard
You should try Deemo and Cytus. You just need to cough up dollar to unlock the full version.
>>315382346
The top players regularly spent thousands on it. I stopped playing. I got too addicted t.b.h
>>315382346
They don't browse /v/ - they would play better games, or just be angry about them if they did instead of playing them. Read this though:
http://www.wired.com/2012/11/meet-the-whales/
The only games I found fun to play on my N4:
Color Zen
Kingdom Rush
Pixel Dungeon
>>315366959
what the fuck can you emulate comfortably on android? You're either trying to play SNES with a fucking touch screen or you're using some controller peripheral that ruins the entire point of playing games on a portable mobile device.
>>315374569
>It's so well balanced
> have to reroll if you use your first free monster token and get a shit monster
>>315384282
JRPG's work fine enough on emulators, I beat Chrono Trigger on my phone without any trouble. As long as they don't require any sort of dexterity you can be fine.
Same goes for gameboy games
Get Implosion.
One of the best games on Android.
Monument Valley
Sonic CD
Chaos Rings
>>315384282
GBA emulation works good because there aren't many buttons
>>315384464
This to be honest
>>315384282
Also,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.scummvm.scummvm&hl=en
>>315384282
Sega Genesis and gba emulation works decently well for touch screens.
Anything beyond that is pushing it.
>>315383778
>>315384496
>>315384618
Which emulators are recommendable?
>>315382346
I cant speak for COC but in summoners war (stamina, RNG statwhoring turnbased combat game) there are chinese that just spend thousands on it. The game also has popups to buy something 3 times per day. They switch devices to get the popup more often.
Seriously those rich asian fucks have no sense of money. That is why P2W is so popular, since they cash in on those retards.
>>315383870
>>315383806
now only if I could actually play nethack
>>315382825
>both Google, and Apple has policies against offering money or items in Gambling games.
pretty sure at some point offering real money for virtual gambling was made illegal in America
>>315364898
Play Pixel Dungeon, retard.
Anything else on mobile is guaranteed to be shit.
>>315384676
Genplus and Myboy were competent enough.
>>315384797
>He thinks those "rich" fucks are spending money
>He doesn't know they just ask for refunds, and the devs don't remove their items
>>315385184
Yep, and the policy of those companies reflects the law.
However, theirs nothing stopping a developer from making a casino app with in-app purchases that doesn't pay out.
It's outdated, but it's the only list I can find.
>>315364898
>mfw I don't recieve an item
>mfw I ask the developer for a refund
>the developer tells me to contact Google, as they don't have the ability to issue refunds, as it went through Googles payments system

>They tell me to never contact their support team again.
FUCKING ANDROID DEVELOPERS REEEEEEEEEE
>>315384464
>>315383948
>>315382550
These. Rayark does an awesome job with mobile games. Plus not p2w at all.
>>315385458
you cant trade and the customer service is nonexistent

how the fuck is this idiot making 6 figures and I'm not?
>>315386241
The dev's are not the ones who usually issue the refund.
>>315364898
>buying a 600$ phone
why would you
>>315382314
don't know what you're talking about with the no cloud save thing.
>>315386507
these are the people that whine their mortgages and interest on credit card bills are too damn high.
>>315386830
I haven't played in awhile.
Upon release there was no cloud save.
Looks like with V1.2 they finally added it.

>>315385235
Best answer right here.
Hoplite is also worth a look, especially if you're on a shitty phone.
>>315387281
I like this game, but I always lose because I mispress or I forgot about LOS.
They should do it so it warns you if you will take damage the next turn by doing an action. It would make things a lot more tactical and engaging

space agency is fun and not p2w. its kerbal space program on android
