I finished a game of Unciv yesterday on mobile, it's an amazing foss Civ 5 clone and very light and small

It lacks the beautiful animations and graphics, but everything that really mattered is there, and the UI is good, especially given the fact that I played it on mobile without pulling my eyes out

Mindustry is great, if you like factory games. It's also foss

@Cayenne05dingos If you like Point'n'Click adventure Games, I can recommend "DarkestVille Castle". Excellent jokes and humour, funny characters, cool drawings. The puzzles are sometimes super easy, other times really hard.

ivy,

mindustry is my fav

it's a crazy good combo of resource management, tower defense, rts, and sandbox creativity

added bonus that it's open source and even has multi-player

Had no idea this was on mobile. Can't imagine playing any factory game by tapping alone though

RedForFred,

I started it on the PC and was pleasantly surprised by the quality. Really fun game!

philomory,

Dawncaster is excellent.

AdamBomb,

In addition to FTL and Slay the Spire, which I’ve spent hundreds of hours with, I’d also recommend Monster Train and Dicey Dungeons.

bob_lemon,

Simon Tathams Puzzles is a free (and ad-free) collection of simple puzzle games. Great for mindlessly wasting hours starting into your phone.

Kempeth,

This has pretty much been with me ever since I got my first Android phone. Simple but such a great variety of puzzles. Doesn't get enough love.

DeathCubeK,

Hero of Aethric.

Bells,

Slice and Dice is a very fun strategy rougelike, kind of a mix of DnD and Yhatzee.

AdamBomb,

Not available on iOS sadly

tombuben,

I have two games installed on my phone:

  • Golf on Mars: an infinite zen golfing game. Minimalist, but enjoyable in very short bursts
  • Zachtronics Solitaire: a collection of weird solitaire variants. My favorite of the bunch is "Shenzen Solitaire"
Nanokindled,

Legends of Runeterra is a great lightweight card game with a fun roguelike mode.

johntash,

I didn’t see it recommended yet, but Divinity: Original Sin II is great on ipad. If you also have it on steam, you can sync your saves between steam and ipad too.

baconeater,

I have put more hours than I care to admit into Slay the Spire. I've 100% completed it and still play it daily.

Thought I'd throw these in even though they're older. I continue to play them every few years and they still scratch the same itch.

Robotek - strategic turn-based battler with random attack mechanic, campaign has a light story and no paid upgrades are needed to beat it, has online multiplayer

Hexage - classic arcade shooter with weapon variety & leveling, campaign has a decent story but it's not super important/necessary to follow, as difficulty increases it turns more into a bullet hell, has multiple difficultly options

Some other must-plays in my opinion:

  • holedown
  • Dicey Dungeons
  • Mini Metro
  • Super Auto Pet
  • Smash Hit
  • Fancade
  • Peggle Blast (don't pay for upgrades, some levels seem impossible but they're not)
Rhabuko,

Legends of Runtera. Probably the most user friendly free to play card game. You don't buy booster packs, you buy the cards you want directly and can get enough recourses by simply playing often.

EstrangedMoistness,

Yes! Recently re+downloaded it after a year or two and fell in love with the rogue like mode "Path of Champions". Zero pressure, can pause whenever and I'm having fun. Works on PC too.
