Play either shattered or sprouted pixel dungeon if you aren't already they're much better than the base game.

>>14790244

I've been playing unleashed actually because the different difficulty level and saving stuff makes it a lot more forgiving and I hate having to start over too often.

Try through the ages.

>>14790230

Pathos (the nethack) game is pretty good

the only thing worth doing on mobile devices is emulating afaik

>>14790230

>mobile games

>actual games on a mobile phone rather than handheld games

what are you a fucking poser?

>>14790424

Haha le epic friendo :^)

Filthy casual.

>>14790420

Any roguelike/roguelite on mobile is generally fun in my experience.

>>14790429

Just report and filter.

>>14790590

Surely you don't hate quick saves!?

>>14790230

Also try one of the Lone Wolf story apps. Theyre RPG adventure books and completely free due to the creator putting it in the public domain

Guild of Dungeoneering is amazing. It was a fun game on PC, but I dropped it eventually thinking "I would love to have this on the go". I eventually got the mobile version from Humble Bundle and had countless hours of enjoyment, until I eventually beat it.

Since then, I had nothing. GTAs are fun, but the controls obviously suck, not to mention I'm always going for smallest available phones, which means a lot of proper touch-based games are also borderline unplayable.I guess Worms is a bit of fun, but even in that game the controls are awful.

I wish touch-based phones never became a thing, Java games were the shit.

>>14790709

You mean like a CYOA type of thing?

>>14794056

>>14794383

>>14794383

Yeah but in book form you roll dice to fight and stuff. The app takes care of that though

>>14795758

Yeh like how TBS games work.

>>14790484

I am personally really getting into pokemon Soul Silver.

My cellphone's touchscreen sucks, so I can't really play action packed stuff, so I am kind stuck playing turn based stuff.

>>14795795

If you go to the tg share thread they can send you to some other game books in PDF format

>>14795828

Try the rom hack version that has all the Pokemon in it so you can catch them all

Downwell has a mobile port and is pretty damn great, not sure how good the controls are, I assume it uses tilt+tap which probably works okay I guess. Besides that if you like Pixel Dungeon I remember hearing that Brogue had an Android port though you need to sideload the APK as the guy maintaining it didn't want his address being displayed on the store.

What's a good apk site

Nethack and Unnethack's Android versions are amazing. I was disappointed with others

>>14800763

>>>/suicide/

Any game with a solid skill tree or point system. I'll take mobile or rom answers

>>14800765

>. I was disappointed with others

How do you even fuck up porting directly to mobile?

Bump for interest

>Ittle Dew

Very solid puzzle adventure game with a charming artstyle and sense of humor. Interesting nonlinear style where the 3 items you find can be found in any order, have interesting interactions with each other, and you can complete the game with any combination of two. Don't get Ittle Dew 2 though, that one sucks because they took the nonlinear bit too far and made all the puzzles incredibly shallow and uninteresting.

>Punch Quest

Basic arcade style infinite runner game. With punching. Pretty damn fun in my opinion, despite most infinite runners being boring. Punch Quest keeps it interesting with combos, customizable skills, and satisfyingly fun punch mechanics.

>Psycard

Do you like minesweeper? If yes, play this game immediately. If no, I think you have shit taste but whatever.

>To Arms!!

If you like deck building games, I suggest you check this one out. Simple, no-frills solitaire deck building and resource management at its finest. I think it's free with no microtransactions too, so that's nice.

>Underhand

Manage an evil cult. Mostly just resource management and gets a little too easy and lacking in late-game content, but great fun while it lasts. Also free with no microtransactions iirc.

>Galaxy Trucker

Based off the board game of the same name. Assemble a spaceship out of spare parts and hope it doesn't fall apart on the way.

>Ridiculous Fishing

You've probably heard of this already but if you haven't, it's fun. Dodge fish on the way down, collect them on the way up, shoot the hell out of them when they get to the surface. Fair warning though, this is not great for playing in a car or on a bus, since it uses tilt controls.

>>14812296

Oh right one other thing about Psycard: if you exit the app before going back to the callendar, it won't save, allowing you to savescum. This is technically cheating, but honestly if you don't want the game to be incredibly frustrating and force you to play the same stuff over and over when you lose, you should probably do it anyway.

Do you know about any free (no microtransactions) virtual pet games for mobile?

>>14812344

Someone made an apk version of teaching feeling a while back.

>>14812442

no i mean something like tamagotchi

>>14790230

soul knight breddy gud

potion maker is a waifu bait time waster but the loli witch is a qt if you're into that kinda shit

if your phone can handle them there's a bunch of PC ports you can get like san andreas. also, if anyone needs a site to download apks, I use mobilism and haven't had any trouble besides the uploaders using gay sites to host their stuff. nothing a decent adblocker can't fix though

Oh right I forgot about Mage Gauntlet. It's a pretty good top-down combat game that uses an incredibly good control scheme that I wish other mobile devs would copy.

>>14812458

Just buy a tamagotchi then faggot.

>>14817676

Can confirm its really good

>>14790230

Id made a bunch of first person mobile RPG's. They weren't TES tier, but still decent.

>>14817676

So what's the control scheme like then?

>Destroy Gunner

It's basically Armored Core lite. Controls well enough for a mobile phone game, though it gets quite repetitive since enemy variety and bosses are very limited.

>>14818144

Can you name one so I can look it up

>>14818195

The Quest is one that gets mentioned a lot. It's pretty decent as far as mobile RPGs go, with a lot of options for character building, a huge world to explore and even reactivity (NPCs will comment and react differently depending on your race). It also has plenty of expansions.

Tower Fortress is pretty good. Definitely inspired by metroid and comfortable to play

>>14818206

Thank you

Nethack

>>14795803

It controls like the xbox version?

>>14790230

pixel dungeon is shit

Just another time torture game where you can spend a long time doing really good, but then some random event results in instant death. It's impossible to be legit goo at these types of games because every bit of it is based on chance

>>14818311

No, it controls like OpenMW using a gamepad. There is a virtual mouse you control with the right stick in menus.

>>14818579

Oh that's kind of shitty.

>>14818169

Instead of onscreen buttons for movement, it uses a system they call Pro Swipe. You can put your thumb anywhere on the screen and drag it, and it'll move you in that direction, meaning you don't have to go "back to neutral". It's not as good as a joystick but it's really, really close. Another game by the same dev, Wayward Souls, uses a similar system for attacking as well, and that game is ok but gets bogged down in an overly grindy level-up system where you get exp way too slowly and have to level each character up individually.

>>14818851

You stumped me anon, I thought I was the only one. I agree, this game is pretty good and it's free. It has ads on mobile but you can play it on the web with no sound.

>>14819391

Isn't that how you control your character in the Final Fantasy III mobile port as well?

>>14819453

I remember playing his Powder Game a shit ton back when it first came out. Nice to see he's still doing what he's for doing. Plus watching those little fellas dance about is funny.

I like battle heart. It's a super simple real time strategy RPG. It's like a super condensed Baldur's gate where you drag your party members over to enemies or other party members to interact. It's super simple but can get really intense in the later levels. Costs absolutely nothing to play. Doesn't even have ads I think. Really fun galittle game.

I sometimes just try random games. No rhyme or reason, just play for a day and if it's not my thing I delete it and give a fair review

>>14818572

t. brainlet

>>14818798

youre supposed to play the original game, retard. forks of pixel dungeon were made to be easier

>>14790230

>Pixel Dungeon

I have a personal modded version of Shattered PD. I did some neat things to spice up the game like adding adjectives to items (weighted = more damage but higher str requirement, flimsy is opposite) that co-exist with enchantments. Also replaced the Rogue's freerunner class with Tomb Raider (better chance of finding upgraded items at the cost of higher curse chance, and passive detect extended to 2 spaces away). Updated the Battlemage subclass to have a chance on using a wand of temporarily enchanting the currently held weapon with an enchantment roughly matching the wand (fireblast wand = blazing for example). Game is a lot more enjoyable now.

>>14836934

Not all of them.

Shadowverse if you want Harthstone with cute anime girlsthats better than harthstone to

>>14818206

There are 5 different The Quest by 5 different companies. Are you Red shift games?

>>14846246

Eternal is a better CG, with probably the most generous F2P model in the business. That is if you like MtG.

>>14806936

Very late answer but, the guy who ported Nethack makes very good use of touchscreen. You can just touch the doors to open them, touch the items to pick them up, etc. And have a small UI at the bottom for other stuff. Some other roguelikes require you to use your phone's keyboard, it limits the screen and just looks and feel shitty

>>14846912

Ill give it a look.

>>14847037

Retard. Android is java and the "emulator" is built into google's surveillance device you carry everywhere with you.

If you're gonna play games on your cell phone, I suggest getting a Bluetooth controller, and sticking to only the following three things:

1. Ports from other platforms (Star Wars KotOR, GTA Series, Crazy Taxi, etc.)

2. Unofficial sourceports (Doom, Quake, Xash3D for Half-Life, OpenMW for Morrowind, etc.)

3. Emulators (Drastic, PPSSPP, Retroarch, etc.)

If you choose to deviate from any of these three categories, you won't have a good time and you might as well be playing Clash of Fags or whatever the gachashit retards and normalfags in your local area consider the flavor of the week (even though every game in that genre plays the same).

>>14847037

J2ME Loader. It kinda works, far from perfect though.

>>14847116

Thanks fam. Trying it right now.

>>14818572

Retard.

>>14790230

Is it possible to emulate PSP games on a mobile? If so try the PSP CoD.

>>14856568

yes but if your phone inst good some games aren't going work

>>14856568

Its a pain unless you have a solid phone

I think they ported the 3ds ace attorney games, along with apollo justice and investigations. Though I'd recommend you emulate the trilogy first and see if you like them.

>>14860786

>ace attorney

Basically just VNs without lewdness. Worthless garbage that /v/ only liked because it's Japanese.

>>14866790

t. shit taste

Play SMW romhacks
