Fools quest I know but I’m wondering if there are any good, native games that I can play on my android handheld

Edit: I forgot but controller support is also needed.

Sky: Children of Light is a delightful game from the creators of Journey, and plays sort of like a Journey MMO

It has a splendid soundtrack featuring vocals from the ever talented AURORA, and beautiful visuals. It is also a great social experience, putting a focus on fostering connections and community. It gets regular content updates and its just super cozy!

I am not certain if the android version has controller support but I do know that they ported it to consoles and PC and those versions indeed do have controller support

I am not really into racing games but I tried super tux cart and it was fun. It has an android version.

  • OpenTTD: Open Source and available for free.
  • Settlers 2 via some DosBOX version. Back when I still used Android I used Dosbox Turbo, but it seems to have been removed from the Play Store. No clue which DosBOX build for Anrdoid is good nowadays…
  • 2048: Open Source and free puzzle game
  • Threes: Puzzle game similar to 2048
  • Cogs: Puzzle game. No clue how to find it on the play store, but it’s available at humblebundle.
  • Slay the Spire: Deck Builder roguelike.
  • Space Chem: Zachlike puzzle game. (Actually not only zachlike - it’s form zachtronics)

and basically any Android game that ever was part of a Humble Mobile Bundle. Those happened before Humble Bundle was sold and consequently became boring.

What kind of handheld, what genre, open source or anything goes…?

There are many decent games, as in “none or optional ads, not pay to win”. Some P2W can be played up to a certain point before they become obnoxious.

Recently I’ve been playing casual/idle ones:

  • Rush Royale
  • Raid Rush
  • Pocket Champs
  • Capybara Go

Before that, I went through a phase of RTS:

  • Last War
  • Top Heroes
  • Million Lords

Before that… don’t remember anymore, I keep switching genres every few months 🤷
