I remember playing Snake back on my old Nokia and being pretty convinced that cellphones would one day replace GameBoys. But like everything China touches, the mobile market has become a mountain of trash. The only game I keep on my phone anymore is Sudoku.
Well I got a fancy new phone and I'd actually like to toss some games on it. Anyone actually playing anything worth a damn these days?
Yes offline : SNES emulators work for any game that dosen't need the fine control lost with the virtual/touchscreen controls.
Yes offline : Nimble Quest is a very nice free snake/rogue mix with good music, no ads. Fun quick games.
Yes offline unless you want the bonus ads : Currently playing a silly Hero Park game. Restore a town center and invite heroes to fight in your dungeons and buy in your shops. Has optional ads, not intrusive. Fun quick games.
Forced online : Shop Titian, operate a shop and develop/level/equip heroes to loot dungeons. Fun but huge time sink to clear the weekly events. No intrusive ads.
Forced online for no good reason : Another Eden, free RPG with an okay story. Zero adds. But the level up and character class system is a total let down.
Forced online for no good reason : Legend of Solgard. RPG/puzzle-ish building and directing monsters to block, attack, target objectives, etc.
The early game is basically crack, then they hit you with a progression wall so you don't burn the content and have to grind. Still absolutely worth playing the early game. The story is based on Norse mythology. It's good enough to be worth resetting to play again from time to time.
