A Dance of Fire and Ice is an incredible rhythm game that you buy once and that’s it. I think there’s an expansion pack but it’s a single purchase. Whether that’s your idea of “casual” really depends on what you like. You can always play chill low difficulty levels when you need to zone out, and high difficulty levels when you want a challenge. It can get stupidly hard.
You can try a demo online at that link. It told me webgl wasn’t supported on mobile, but it worked pretty well for me just now on firefox, even if it was a bit laggy. It should work fine on PC.
I pirated it on PC after my kids told me about it and ended up buying it three times on Steam and twice on mobile. It’s just that good. I’ve built a custom digital drum to play it and I’m now making a custom MIDI controller, so we’ll see if that does better when connected to the game.
The game works as well on mobile, if not better because the touchscreen is so responsive.
Plants vs Zombies Battle for the Neighborville. You might think I'm kidding, but in terms of how it feels to play it's my favorite shooter on the switch. The people who made that knew what the fuck they were doing.
Not sure if it fits your criteria but the only mobile game I play is pinball deluxe. If you like real pinball, then you’ll love it, it tries to stay as true to real pinball as possible on some/most tables, it does have small transaction stuff you can buy but I still haven’t bought any including all the additional tables etc after playing it 6 months + and if you did, then it’s just an 8€ one time buy to get all the content and remove the ads, I’m gonna get that once I actually get bored of the “free” tables.
Yass, this was a daily driver for six months straight. The missions are actually fun and help you get access to free tables. Nice surprise, graphics are gorgeous.
I played Superhot first on the Deck. Since time only moves (much) when you’re moving, you have lots of time to practice aiming and getting used to track pads/stick + gyro controls. It requires precise aiming, and there are occasional times where speed helps, so it was a good “training” game for me.
It’s still not as natural as KB+mouse, but I’ve been enjoying Ziggurat 2 a lot (on normal difficulty). I won’t push into hard modes, like I would on PC, but it’s working well for me.
I’m not sure it fits 100% with what you’re looking for, but I’ll take chance and recommend Slice & Dice (Google Play, Apple App Store). Free demo, no ads, single in-app purchase to unlock the full version. This game is easily the best value-for-dollar mobile game I’ve ever purchased.
Sorry for the late reply. I think I watched a video with these. I think playing with sergey hax would overall detract from doing a second play through but the extra dialogues/expressions are spectacular.
I’m currently playing through iconoclasts which was recommended as having some similarities to crosscode and I see them. Been having a good time so far with it.
That said, it’s very difficult to compare with Lea
The cheaty gameplay isn’t that bad, as long as it’s not the first playthrough. It’s definitely way too easy to give you a sense of accomplishment against all odds, but it also allows you to skip all the grind and the sidequests that you should’ve already done (as those, AFAIK, have no Lea-dependent dialogue).
I didn’t know Iconoclasts was usually compared to CrossCode!
I can’t really see any similarities. It’s a great game, definitely on the level of CC if a bit less git gud in nature, but the only similarity I can think of is both games using pixel art.
I suppose not needing to grind for better gear would be nice. I think I want my next play through to be a repeat of the first and the grinding was part of the 💫 experience 💫
But I can’t relive that experience so maybe sergey hax is the way to go.
As to iconoclasts, Nothing gameplay wise is similar but the characters/dialogue seem reminiscent of what crosscode brings to the table, which to me was a big part of my enjoyment.
Isometric Zelda / Metroidvania / bullet hell with a lot of accessibility features and neat art where you’re a lil spaceship guy. Has a demo to see if it’s your jam. Already beat it twice, would really love for them to make DLC or a sequel.
80 Days - it’s not free but I think it’s worth it. It’s a sort of steampunk version of Around the World in 80 Days where you have to plan your routes, and buy and sell things in different cities to make money. The main gameplay is sort of choose-your-own-adventure events that happen during travel and in different cities.
Card Thief - I just started playing this recently. It does technically have a microtransaction but it’s more like, they let you play for free if you don’t mind waiting for chests to unlock, or you can buy the game to bypass this. The main gameplay is sneaking through dungeons represented by a 3x3 grid of cards randomly drawn from the deck; collecting treasures and avoiding getting caught.
Ghostrunner 2 is 80% off for $17CAD and runs great on the deck. It looks like some of the best speed swordplay vibes from Cyberpunk and I’m stoked to play it.
I believe you don’t get Shadowplay without it, so if you need game recording / replay without impacting performance it’s worth installing. But I would recommend the nvidia app beta instead of geforce experience as it doesn’t require a login.
Other than that you don’t get any optimizations by installing geforce experience, other than its game settings tuner thing which doesn’t work at all.
These days most apps vaguely related to gaming have a DVR function, so that might not be a pressing thing to keep it for. Xbox game bar and soon Steam get that function.
OBS offers practically the same experience with its replay buffer and only uses single digit percent overhead for CPU. Shadow play is maybe slightly more convenient that’s all I can really say about it as it’s been a while.
