Backpack brawl is fun, township as well.

original_reader,

I am tempted by Backpack Brawl. Their data collection practices put me off a bit, sadly.

Thank you for the suggestions!

Thats totally fair. The gameplay itself is very fun. I would absolutely pick up a one time purchase version, but thats not an option for this game.

Surprisingly, mindustry hasn’t been mentioned yet! Great quality, well thought out, addictive combination of tower defence, RTS and factory building.

original_reader,

I got it. What a masterpiece!

Dawncaster is a great deck builder that’s vertical if you are into those!

original_reader,

Great suggestion. Thanks!

It’s an older game, but Downwell is fun. Just a little action/arcade game where you fall down a well and try to get combos by not touching the ground by bouncing off of enemies.

There are a few web adaptations of Monikers, a party game that has a charades component. I’d imagine a bit of the fun of the original is lost, though, because part of the setup of the real game is everyone building the deck together.

Rogue Adventure is great. I recently switched to iOS but I miss playing this game.

Goddess of Victory NIKKE fits what you are asking.

It is a high quality Free-to-Play mobile game played in portrait mode and completely playable with one hand (depending on how wide your device is). As long as your don’t care about leaderboards, it also isn’t Pay-to-Win. It is playable on PC as well, which is how I play these days. As a Day 1 Player, you don’t need to spend any money to play, enjoy, or progress in the game.

In terms of negatives:

  • Some people may not like the anime art style (game is playable in various language dubs, including Korean, Japanese, English, and depending on region, Chinese, which are optional downloads to reduce filesize) or the character designs, which have huge… personalities
  • If you don’t care about time limited events or being at the top of leaderboards, its not hostile to your playtime and mental health. Go at your own pace.
  • It is a gacha game for characters and skins, but the game gives players a lot of options, so unless you’re trying to be #1 on the leaderboards in your server, having every character max level isn’t that important.

They recently added a “Story Mode” for the campaign, which significantly reduces the difficulty of all the missions in the 40+ campaign chapters so that players can enjoy the story without needing to have as powerful characters. I think you get reduced rewards as well, but its a nice addition. You can also get photo film rolls to unlock past time limited events (not licensed or collab ones though) so you can enjoy the stories of those as well. You don’t get the rewards for them as they were running, but still can experience the stories and minigames. You get plenty of free currency for free character rolls, no money is needed. Unless you really want a skin or really like a licensed collab and want to buy an IP specific bundle or something.

Basically, for a free player, there is A LOT of story content available to keep your busy for a while. Play at your own pace, and don’t worry about leaderboards and you’ll be mostly fine. The biggest advice is to try to get 5 characters 4 times each. If you are playing the regular difficulty story, there is a point where it is required to progress, and is often referred to as the only “wall of progression” in the game.

Downwell is one of the best mobile games of all-time

SlartyBartFast,

Except for the lack of official gamepad support, in before anyone links to that one github with the hardcoded screen coordinates

Dungeon Tracer is a pretty decent remake of one of my favorites from back in the day, Dungeon Raid

orenj, do games w DAE name their characters by their official name?

Well, yeah. That’s their name. I mean, it can be funny to name them fuckface or whatever, but his name is Chrono.

@pory@lemmy.world avatar

Well, his name is Crono, but you’ve got the spirit

fakeman_pretendname, do games w DAE name their characters by their official name?

I either use the default names, or give them “standard English older bloke names”. The grander the adventure, the more un-grand a name they get.

Things like “Ian Williams”, “Neville Smith”, “Terry Phillips”, “Frank Jones” etc. The sort of names that would work for the City Council’s Road Maintenance Department.

‘Antiyoy’ is a simple strategy game, fit well for shortish sessions. Free and with minimal permissions. Iirc ‘Antiyoy Classic’ is offline-only, while the regular one has multiplayer.

‘Diplicity’ is a multiplayer-only (afaik) strategy like ‘Risk’, but with zero element of chance, only diplomacy. However the games can be rather slow, from what I’ve heard.

‘Fabularium’ is an app for running text-adventure games — one of many such apps, but I like it because it supports modern game formats. You’ll need to download the games themselves elsewhere, mainly from ifdb.org — there are a lot of games, some of them with quite novel mechanics.

‘Hocus’ is a geometrical puzzle with impossible shapes. Iirc additional levels are paid.

I’ve heard that ‘Mindustry’ is a good open-source clone of ‘Factorio’, but idk how it plays on a phone screen.

This is a fun new puzzle game. Like a cross between Tetris and Ingenious
