Evening, all.

Looking for recommendations for any Android games that you enjoy which can be played completely offline without a data connection of any sort.

These used to be super common once upon a time, but these days it seems every single game I try just doesn't function if you are totally out of service area.

Would appreciate any tips! Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Some great suggestions in here! That will keep them busy a while. Thanks so much everyone.

Magic Research

It's an paid offline idle game without ads and a nice progression. Also has a demo.

my go to is frequently Puzzles. it is a bunch of classic puzzles rolled into one, and i'll just go through my favorites on a loop. on a second hand, if you like rogue-likes, Hyperrogue and Shattered Pixel Dungeon are both fun free and offline.

The Layton games - the DS games have been ported to Android and totally slap. As someone who never had a DS, I'm enjoying this era of the games coming to Android and being playable here.

Can recommend Oxenfree and Kentucky Route Zero. They are tied to a Netflix subscription on mobile though (on the other hand, if you already have Netflix, they’re free).

Besides that, Monument Valley 1 and 2 are amazing games. And The Room series is also very entertaining.

I also would recommend Broken age and Life is Strange but they seem to not be on the Google Play Store anymore…

Found an old archive so I'm going to ad to the thread myself:

Alto's Adventure and Alto's Odyssey both definitely work offline, but I'm not sure about them trying to serve you advertisements.

I also used to have a considerable library of emulated games on my phone and would use a bluetooth gamepad. I should probably go back down this road I think! I'd imagine emulation has come a long way since I was mucking around with it.

Angry Birds. I bought a ad free version for like 2 bucks and it's the original angry birds with no MTX.

On this topic I wish there was a definitive place to find Android games that have controller support. No microtransactions.. I will have to download and try again first and then 90% of the time it doesn't meet my criteria for playable.

The phoenix wright and danganronpa series are both on android ad free.

Similaritron (seems abandoned, but still works)

[–] NightFantom@slrpnk.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Doesn't work on my phone (made for an older version of android) but it looks like the game "set", and googling that I found this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nelis.set (haven't tried it yet but it has the tag "offline" so looks good)

[–] Arigion@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

That's weired. Runs flawlessly on my Android 13.

Magic survival is a great little vampire survivor clone

Shadowmatic is a great little puzzle game. It's paid but the graphics and attention to detail are incredible.

[–] FiduciaryOne@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Hm, says it's incompatible with my Pixel 5. Do you know if there's a way to run it on modern Android devices?
