Best Offline Mobile Games

[LeStryfe79]

This is the DELIGHTFUL NINE.
Tens of thousands of hours of gaming in all different genres and settings. Very high quality. Anyway, they don't need a connection and only cost me $30 combined. Took me five years to make this list, and here it is!

 

[A horse of course]

 

[fork]

I'm afraid that's a compliment nowadays.

Dead Cells seems like it would be awful on a mobile device.

 

[Siveon]

There's like two other threads about this.
Also Dead Cells and Minecraft do not play great on touchscreen, no.

 

[LeStryfe79]

They both play great. Terraria plays like ass.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Your list is missing Tales of Illyria.

 

[Fluent]

Heroes of Steel is a real good one, too. Thanks for the list. gotta search dungeons of chaos now.

 

[Siveon]

They both play great. Terraria plays like ass.

Anythin real time with virtual buttons plays like wet garbage.
MC's is better but its not ideal. Don't even know how the fuck people play Dead Cells.

EDIT: That's not to say it's not playable, but it's not good (or even nearly as comfortable as a controller).

 

[CanadianCorndog]

Angry Birds, all of them are good
Peggle

 

[Krivol]

My picks
Dungeon Sweeper, nonograms katana, andors trail and gurk. All 4 free iirc

 

[catfood]

 

[d1r]

N-Gage Worms World Party
N-Gage 2 Reset Generation

I tend to install my games off fDroid and there's this roguelike dungeon crawler game that's open source and been forked a hundred times that's pretty good. Check it out. If you're willing to pay for a closed source game on the app store or whatever check out Threes. It's been ripped off and you can get a free alternative but I don't know how they're monetized and the original creator deserves your three bucks. Can be played entirely offline.

Also the classic BrickBreaker

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

I wish this game was available again & for ios & offline.

 

[Just Locus]

The Entire Cut the Rope Franchise(aside from the subway surfers and Talking Tom clone) Is really enjoyable and even the other games from Zaptos(the game company) offer great mobile games as well.

 

[ZidaneZireael]

Slay the Spire, Dawncaster RPG

 

[taxalot]

Nethack and chess.

 

[ItsChon]

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a great mini rouge-like and I'd definitely recommend for a phone/tablet.

 

[manifest]

I haven't played anything but Chess on my phone since Plants vs Zombies was new.

 

[Doc_Wolverine]

OpenTyrian is a pretty fun port of the PC shoot 'em up. I also found this port of Space Cadet Pinball for Android that's pretty fun to play.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Oh ho ho! Space Cadet!!

 

[Darkozric]

Mazes of Karradash 2 - Turn-based Dungeon Hack with 20 huge levels

 

[Gibson]

I haven't played anything but Chess on my phone since Plants vs Zombies was new.

which one?

which is a decent chess game (doesn't need to be free) to play against the CPU?

1-bit Ninja was good if you like arcades with score-chasing.
Also they solved controls by making you going only forward (however you can use special walls on stages to make you change direction, pretty smart).
Yes, you had to jump off the arrows mid-air. Kewl! Also, chain jumps on heads for lulz and scoring
To be honest, it was so much better than whatever shit Nintendo released as "official mario mobile game", but just like most iOS games from 2008-2014 era (BEST era, before it shifted to f2p gacha apocalypsis, and before Aplle MASSACRED so many apps with 32-bit tragedy), it never gained that much attention.
