Wait, there are still mobile games without monetization?

Not free but without micro transaction: slay the spire is killer

I find I hear about these after playing on another platform. I just don't look at mobile anymore because the market is filled with nonsense.

Apparently a few of the games I've really enjoyed have a mobile version, and sometimes it's cheaper there, but I don't even think to check.

Yeah Spire came out on mobile years after PC. I have hundreds of hours in the PC version and still enjoy being able to play it on the train

Slay is such a genius game.

I burned out after 100%ing it and beating A20 on all chars, and haven't been able to really play in a couple of years, but I got every penny of my investment back and more.

My son has it on his phone and he plays it waiting for toast to finish, at halftime of soccer games, in the car going somewhere...

Yeah I stopped for a few months after I finally got my Silent A20, but once it released for Android I picked it back up. It was the last achievement I needed for Eternal One. It feels great on a tablet as well.

Such a good game. I almost never played it just cause I irrationally didn't like the name. Glad I picked it up.

Juno new Origins is pretty great, just makes you device turn into a stove

[–] Astronautical@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

Usually ones that come with an upfront cost, but yeah. There's actually a lot that are pretty good, like Monument Valley 1+2, or Stardew Valley's mobile port.

Unciv on Android is quite fun :)

The Base Game of Vampire Survivors is free and the DLCs cost a few Dollar like the Steam Version.
