I’m a middle-aged woman with a phone full of premium games that feels like a steam deck.
I have never understood why people buy a thousand dollar phone and then balk at paying for quality games, and instead play ad-supported, manipulative, dark pattern trash.
Then again, I phone too hard. I have a controller attached to mine most of the time.
If you don't have Terraria on there, I'm gonna be really mad.
I could never really play Terraria, and generally games that need precision mouse movement with precision platforming aren’t games I can play well, because of my brain damage.
Sorry to disappoint.
Holy peak, that does contain half of my steam library 💀
Wait, is that the full version of Death Stranding? I would not think that's possible.
Whole-ass Death Stranding, paid $20 for it.
I love Ball X Pit
holy based alert
I had no idea there were so many good native mobile games. Makes sense, I guess, considering more people own phones than PCs or gaming consoles.
Personally, I only play premium, high-quality, serious games on PC. My phone is for casual games.
I’m on the road a lot, and often times away from home. Long rides on transit, long times in the back seat of a car heading to photo shoots, lots of downtime and a small purse. I do what I can.
I’m glad that being at home with a computer works for you, but it doesn’t work for me.
Perhaps you're a good person to ask then!
Besides the FF series on there, any games I can casually play (no controller) that you recommend? It can be complex, just not input heavy
See this past comment and the whole thread. The topic of Android games is brought up repeatedly here.
If you have a tablet, that's a whole another world: I've played OpenTTD and a port of ‘Master of Orion’ on mine. You can also run a whole bunch of DOS games with Magic Dosbox, or graphic adventures with ScummVM.
Also while we’re at it, The World Ends With You is built for touchscreens, and is one of the best RPGs in the world. It’s input-heavy, but it’s not trying to mimic a controller. TWEWY came out on the DS back in like ‘08 or so, and eventually got a Switch/ios/android remake that changes and enhances a lot of stuff.
It’s also a kickass game that celebrates Shibuya’s culture, which is an incredibly refreshing setting even twenty years later.
Honestly, Civilization VI is the heaviest game on my phone. Touch screen is beautiful for it too!
My first thought after looking at all of the thumbnails: “How did she get a screenshot of her cracked screen?” Time to go back to bed.
I did this work in Seattle back in April!
For those who want to replicate this please check out GameNative. It lets you play your Steam, GOG, EGS and Amazon game libraries on mobile for free :D
Steam Link does it too! I just prefer to have my stuff locally installed. Never know when I’m going somewhere with no internet.
I think there has been a misunderstanding maybe; GameNative is not a remote desktop software.
You've got an awesome collection! My time at Portia seems so cozy. What's it about?
Far past an apocalypse, some ruins are settled and the town of Portia is settled. It’s a bright and happy ideal sort of place that still exposes what it used to be back in the before times. But that’s all window dressing for a deep and involved resource collecting and crafting affair, with a bunch of slice of life shenanigans.
I would put it right next to Stardew Valley in terms of expectations.
oh god my english is shit when I’m tired, help
Aw it's lovely! Your synopsis is great, dw ^^
What can you say about CaravanSandWitch? I've seen it in epic for free recently and am unsure about it. (Yes it's free but I want to avoid claiming games just for the sake of adding them to the hoard.)
It’s cozy, and it’s a vibe about collecting stuff and exploring. No damage, no combat, still fun.
Hum, that sounds like something I can get behind, thanks.
I like you. You've got great taste in games! Also, is that second photo what the controller looks like folded up? If so, that's awesome! What's the name of that controller, if you don't mind my asking?
Some other games in the same vein that I didn't see in your screenshots:
Icewind Dale
Knight of the Old Republic
Titan Quest
Hitman: Sniper
Siralim Ultimate
Streets of Rage 4
Andor's Trail
Caves of Lore
And some that are in between a console and premium phone experience:
Idle Fantasy (free)
Dawncaster
Indies Lies
Rogue Adventure
Doom & Destiny Advanced
Shattered Pixel Dungeon
Put an extra newline between your entries. They appear as just one long sting.
Thanks, will do.
It’s an MCON. Some people hate it, but I like mine. Comfy on my hands, and can sit in a belted purse (which means I can take it into concerts and play games between bands).
Look up Magic Ling Pixel Dungeon!
It's free but you'll need to get it off github as it's Chinese. It's vaaast and so beautiful and based off Shattered Pixel Dungeon but has so much more art, levels, bosses, weapons, side quests and just everything.
Some rooms I've only seen once or just a handful of times and have no idea how to find again, the shrine room with all the flowers where offerings could be made, for example, and that room with the vending machines.
Wow, I thought Shattered Pixel Dungeon WAS the fork with all the extra stuff. This is interesting
DeRanged Pixel Dungeon is another Shattered fork with some new characters, 5 more scifi themed levels, loads of new weapons and a bunch of cool alchemy weapon recipes. It's not anywhere near as vast as Magic Ling, but the extra characters and weapons are a lot of fun.
Summoning PD is another fork that's pretty cool too, but I can only do it in small doses every so often as the constantly flickering minions you can summon to fight alongside you, get visually stressful for me quite quickly.
Unfortunately, I don’t have any kind of side loading shenanigans available to me in iOS, and I only speak Japanese and English, but thanks for the recommendation!
It's mostly all translated, i'd say like 90% at this point, and getting better with every (pretty regular) update.
I've got an android so I didn't know it wasn't possible to download it on other phones, that really sucks. If you get a chance though, look it up -this game really is freaking amazing.
