Unironically keep reading nigga.

Just emulate PSP games faggot

Gas the kikes race war now

Stay away from the electric jew

What kind of phone is it

>Are there and android games with actual depth? Preferably with no microtransactions and either free or piratable.

Roguelikes.

The only good android games, at all, are ports of board games. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a fag.

Just take a long walk off a a short pier

It's genuinely the case that there are topics on /v/ that are de facto banned.

I think that you can get a KOTOR port on android

>>15224155

1 or 2?

>>15224155

Yeah, I checked. 1 and 2 are available. I haven't a clue as to if they are stable.

Anyway, Coolrom used to be good but it's filled with malware now. You might have success with some other emulator site.

>Yeah, I checked. 1 and 2 are available. I haven't a clue as to if they are stable.

Kind of impressed 2 can run at all on average mobile hardware.

>>15224158

I only saw 1 when I browsed. There's also stuff like X-com, Final Fantasy 7, and Indigo Prophecy of all titles. The problem is the interface and lack of optimization. Most people in the comments are bitching that the games are barely compatible with touch screen only and the games keep crashing or refusing to boot. Who wants to drop 10 bucks for a game that won't even start and no refund policy?

>>15224177

When you say X-COM you mean original or nu? Much more interested in the original.

TES : Blades.

chess.com

Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup runs really well on anything.

Wayward Souls/Mage Gauntlet: not much depth, but it's a quality game.

Exiled Kingdoms: pretty good game with lots of content, haven't played it for a year, it's probably even better now.

HoMM3 through ExaGear emulator ran really well, but emulator devs are huge fucking jews and it was a pain in the ass to get it working for free.

>>15224172

> You might have success with some other emulator site.

I personally use emuparadise, especially for PS2 isos, but I don't know how safe they really are. I also like how piss easy their captcha is, surprised they even bothered to put one.

Hello Todd.

>>15224133

Ticket to Ride all day every day. Requires up front cost but no micro transactions unless you want to play other versions of the board.

>>15230025

>same posting

There are ports of Icewind Dale, Baulders Gate 1 and 2 and some other old RPG's. I got them for 99 cents each during a big sale. Add them to wishlist and wait for a sale or pay $10 otherwise.

Other people mentioned KOTOR. Square has a handful of FF games like Tactics and VI and VII.

Occidental Heroes is an ok game. You'll be done with it in about 10 hours though.

Dink is an old RPG. A little goofy but it plays well on android and it's free.

>>15221732

A Zenfone V

>>15224435

Thank you, I'm downloading wayawrd souls, DCSS (I forgot it was on the play store), and exiled kingdoms.

>>15230041

RTWP games sound horrible for a 5 inch screen, honestly.

Also, what audiobook players don't have a premium version that it will give you for a time then take away? I forget which I used to use but that pissed me off.

>>15218873

Mobile ports of good games.

If I recall correctly, KoTOR and Planescape Torment are on Android. Not sure if you can pirate them, though.

Also, I use the John series of emulation. John GBA Lite and John GBC Lite. I wouldn't bother emulating anything other than the Gameboy or maybe an NES. Controls get a little fucky after that.

>>15230905

Sorry for my meme spacing. I've been on vacation for 2 months

A game I found while searching myself was Last Day on Earth which seems to be neo-scavenger lite set in the USSR after a nuclear war. Seems OK after an hour of play, has you scavenging houses for cans of beef and boiling water to render it safe. There seems to be a mild base-building dynamic, but I don't know yet if you can actually produce your own food so it might not be useful.

DCSS was an excellent suggestion and I recommend if for anyone else wanting a mobile game with depth. It's literally the PC game with a resizable window and keyboard overlay. Obviously it's not as easy to control as with a physical keyboard, but it doesn't sacrifice anything for the handicapped controls either.

>>15218873

I've seen Battle for Wesnoth has an android version. They say it's functional, although I didn't try it. You could look into that.

Other than that, emulators.

>>15231929

Wesnoth is good but a bit heavy on the rng.

>>15231891

I got the name wrong. It's Day R Survival that I'm referring to in the early part of my post. I haven't played the other one yet.

>>15231891

>DCSS

And game screen resized for ants. Btw it has 3 versions, tiles/regular/online and online seems to work the best out of 3.

>>15230708

Not a single game with "souls/kingdoms/clans/towns/counter/demon/hunter/survival" is good. Look for games with "open" in name.

And for a single good android game there are thousand good games on emulators.

TBS seems like it would be well suited to mobile. Not needing to do anything with any particular haste is good for the obligatory crap controls and the fact that you can stop at any time with no consequences meshes well with having to pick up and put down the game. Are there any TW/CIV/GALCIV style TBS for android?

>>15218873

Kemco has made and published a fuckton of pretty good jrpgs for Android. A number of them were ported to 3ds. Usually generic in the Dragon Quest sense, but equally as comfy

I recommend trying Dragon Sinker and going from there

Anything centered around character progression?

>>15224170

this. nothing else is needed, shouldn't be using that much time on the phone anyway.

>>15236019

a fitness tracker

cell lab is a challenging evolution puzzle, free and ad-free

you could also pirate minecraft i guess

everything else i can think of has microtransactions, even if they're ignorable

>>15236028

i forgot, there's also exiled kingdoms, a decent diablo-like

but only a demo is out for free, you have to find a torrent for the full thing

out on pc too

>>15236019

Progress quest.

>>15236035

I remember I have this! It was still being updated when I bought it but it was pretty okay in my book.

Stick Ranger

DANMAKU Death

DeckDeDungeon 1

Emulators

>>15236215

That game is fucking brutal too. All of your units will die if they don't get their upkeep that turn and the upkeep is measured separately per territory you own. So if you can surround an enemy and cut them off from their main center of their economy, they're fucking dead. Likewise for you. Overextend too much and you'll get cut off and lose all your units.

>>15236259

>Overextend too much and you'll get cut off and lose all your units.

The AI can be very ruthless about catching and exploiting holes in your front line, too. It always feels just like making a blunder in chess when that happens.

I also like that your income can be negative as long as you have enough built up money to afford the deduction each turn. It enables some interesting opportunities like building up towards a blitz attack, or saving the money in case you lose territory and go negative while taking it back.

I would say the most difficult and fun scenario missions for me were the ones where the map is cramped and most hexes already have structures, so you are forced to heavily optimize your limited territory without the benefit of buffer zones between your houses and the front line. I have definitely passed many a bus ride playing Antiyoy.

>>15236215

Came here to recommend this. They had a big update some time back.

>>15236215

I remember this game too! Got stuck on one level and could never beat it until I got pissed and uninstalled it. Fuck this game.

Yeah, no, this thread is cancer.

Do you happen to be in the 8ch steam group?

Mobile games are still games.

If you get stuck the best solution is to sleep on it.

>>15218873

Avoid the ones that have an iphone port. The issue with the Iphone is that you have to pay the apple store $100/yr for a license, this results in the devs trying to extort you via microtransactions and lootboxes.

Hearthstone, but not actually since the barrier of entry is too high now

>>15236215

OP here

This is a lot of fun, and apparently the dude made one or more other games. Are they as good?

>>15224185

There's Openxcom for android. It works fine

>>15224185

I forgot to add that Nucom is also on android though

The only one I know with any depth is Hitman GO, and it's a puzzle game but it's really enjoyable.

>>15238418

what kind of monstrous phone can emulate a psp?

There's a shitty looking game called Cyber Knight Elite which is basically what is CDPR is trying to do with Cyberpunk 2077.

>>15236215

>houses increase gold income

Fucking gay. Is there an option to play using original Slay rules?

>>15237885

Galimulator looks nice and seems better at being Stellaris than Stellaris, but I never could get into it.
