Game recommendations: Passive / Turn Based + Portrait Orientation + No IAP (or at least minimally invasive)

I’m looking for some game recommendations. I feel like a ton of these games exist but they’re riddled with IAP. I don’t mind paying a little to buy the game. I have the play pass but so many of these games are active involvement and landscape orientation. I like to have an extra hand free and landscape requires both hands on. But really want passive engagement. Like as soon as I stop playing the game is waiting for me. Example games:

Polytopia

Magnet Balls

Free Cell

Threes

Card Thief

Knights of Pen and Paper

Games like Slay the Spire (but portrait). Although I’ve never really found a Slay the Spire-like that didn’t feel like a watered down version of STS

Jadaw1n,

Give OneBit Adventure a try. Fits all your requirements. IAP is minimal in my opinion.

MeatsOfRage,

Thanks I’ll check it out

stepanzak,

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is amazing and I feel like it might be what you’re looking for. It’s also FOSS.

MeatsOfRage,

It’s landscape. Specifically I’m taking care of a baby a lot and can’t hold a phone in landscape mode with one hand.

delver,

I’d second shattered pixel dungeon, its all turn based and a really fun game with tons of depth. (Especially if you like roguelikes etc) It also works fine in portrait, I only play it like that. Here’s a screenshot from my phone: Screenshot_20231105-203053_Shattered Pixel Dungeon

MeatsOfRage,

Oh sweet! All the play store screenshots were landscape. I’ll check it out

stepanzak,

It’s absolutely fine in portrait, I also only play it like that.
