I like the gameplay but I never feel like I'm getting anywhere. Like, I know it's a rouge like, but how do I progress when I always start at the beginning with nothing?
Set a plan for where you want to go. For example, aim to defeat the main boss. Along the way, you'll collect different blueprints. Dying is normal. I sometimes have mental breakdowns when I have the perfect build and then die to some random stuff lmao. Experiment with different weapon and skill combinations so that even if you die, you'll know the best build to use.
There's a place at the beginning of the game where you can fight against bosses you've fought before. I practiced fighting the final boss before I had a successful run.
How do you even play into the breach, you somehow clear out 3 monsters with all of your shit and next term a few more appears and stabs in the back, I definitely don't have enough brain cells to process what's going on.
I've played it on Switch. It's fantastic. It looks like a tactics/strategy game, which it is but with a huge puzzle element thrown in.
It looks simple in screen shots but it's a high quality, highly addictive game.
Pro tip: if you have a Netflix subscription, you can download some good single player games like Dead Cells, GTA games, and Katana Zero for free. Definitely worth to try if you're hesitating to spend money on each of these games in full. I believe all DLCs are available for Desd cells as well
Survival rpg open world pixel
Completely free, no ads, no monetisation,
Hours of game play adventure and exploring,
Base building, gearing up and leveling.
I'm aware this isn't singeplayer but as someone who also got tired of Clash Royale, this was perfect for me. Marvel SNAP has completely satisfied my craving for competitive short matches Clash Royale once did. It's a deck builder based on the Marvel Universe and upgrading your cards does nothing apart from simply making them look cooler (No pay-to-win level 14 max evolution card bullshit Clash Royale has). Has an optional battle pass and hundreds of variants (skins) for all the cards but I'm doing just fine without ever spending a cent so far.
I'd like to add an Offline to the title. Offline single player games, could someone suggest some for me?
I used to play clash of clans 9 years ago maybe even more but family killed the vibe, then after a year or two I was into asphalt 9 and family were against that too, basically any game so I became anti game for a long time. I have tried a little bit of monumentum vally and Alto's Adventures. I also used to love counter strike, mortal kombat, crysis 2 and NFS underground and Hot pursuit most wanted 2012 and undercover when I was young. So I'd really appreciate it if someone could suggest me something to bring back the youth in me. I have a Poco X3 Pro if it matters.
Not a game, but if you're bored have you considered picking up an art form? My brain feels happier after being creative than it does after playing something. Something to consider possibly
Get lemuroid and download some classic Nintendo roms from a trusted website. Pokemon firered, emerald, Ruby, super Mario 64, Smash, street fighter, etc.
Cube Escape games: puzzle escape games with horror elements
Death Worm - Alien Monster: you play as a giant worm and keep upgrading/adding features
Dentures and Demons 1/2: puzzle escape games with horror elements and a fun story
Hungry Shark World: simple and fun. eat stuff, upgrade, get bigger sharks
Super Toss the Turtle: I used to play this alot as a flash game, its now available as an android game. Super fun.
Burrito Bison: Launcha Libre: same with "toss the turtle", also deserves a mention.
Jetpack Joyride, Robo Defense, Stardew Valley, Arknights.
A mix of old and new. I find them all very fun. Of course, Stardew Valley is 4.99 and Arknights is a gacha game (although, I should say that it is VERY generous with acquiring progression and it is entirely possible to get through without spending anything).
Trials of Mana.
The most absolutely best offline ARPG/JRPG with rich-story and character along with genshin-impact like mechanism of multiple characters gameplay + hack n' slash real-time fight. It's worth a buy. Been over 150+ hours total playtime in it.
Life is strange 1(android, iOS, PC, Consoles), 2 and true colors (PC and Consoles only)
Walking Dead Season 1 to 3(android, iOS, PC, consoles), 4 (PC and Consoles only)
GTA SA, VC, III, LCS and Chinatown Wars (if you haven't played it yet, available on all platforms)
If you like anime games, try Genshin Impact, Honkai Impact 3rd, Honkai Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero(upcoming), Wuthering Waves, etc. (Android, iOS, PC, Consoles)
XCom games are also available but paid
Hitman Blood Money is also available on android but paid. It is a PC game from 2005 I think, ported to Android recently.
Don't play those ad infested f2p games like Clash Royale or Albion Online, instead try some gold ones hidden in the garbage landfill of google play store
WorldNeverland Elnea Kingdom.
A fantasy life sim/rpg that doesn't push hard for iap or shove ads down your throat. Also, it isn't an idle game, you're only going to really progress through playing.
Not really into the TV show, but I really enjoyed the Stranger Things Game 🕹️ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netflix.NGP.StrangerThings
Angry Birds is still peak.
Cut the Rope franchise
King of Thieves and Pudding Monsters (most of ZeptoLab's games are great tbh)
Monument Valley (both of them)
Mine Quest (sequel is ok, but the first one is *noice* and I replay it every so often).
Robbery Bob (both of them)
Door: Origins
Onirim (app version of a neat board game)
Space Trader
Red Ball 4
Soda Dungeon 1 and 2
Vampire Survivors is on mobile
Fruit Ninja is still the goat
Card Thief, Crawl, and Crawl Adventure (all by the same dev)
Tomb of the Mask
Where's My Water?
And that's all I can think of rn. A few of them are on Steam too, which is neat. I re-completed some of them there lol.
Vampire Survivors
Portal, half life, half life 2 through source engine emulator
Open morrowind
Atom rpg
Titan quest
Kotor 1/2
Neverwinter nights
Terraria
Gta games
Scribblenauts
Hollow knight
Or get a gamepass (trial for $1 for 2 weeks) and stream a ton of games
Or geforcenow to play your pc library (epic games and prime game give a lot of free games weekly to build a library with. Ive got like 60+ games ive never payed for, some gems in there even)
It may have been mentioned already, but Alien Isolation if your phone is good enough. Isolation is probably the only Android port of a AAA console/PC game that actually takes advantage of the overpowered processors in our phones and it ends up looking almost exactly like the console version, plus it runs very smooth once you modify the game's preferences file. It's pretty much a direct port of the console version with not a whole lot of compromises. If games like this existed on the Play Store I'd maybe have more of a reason to take mobile gaming seriously.
This is going to be a slightly esoteric recommendation, but try [Magicus](https://play.google.com/store/search?q=magicus&c=apps). It's a puzzle RPG by an indie RPG developer. You can get it for $3.49 on the Play Store, or $2.11 on [DLSite](https://www.dlsite.com/home/work/=/product_id/RJ264562.html/?locale=en_US), but note that if you live in the USA, to buy from DLSite, you will probably need to jump through a few hoops to buy DLSite Points from another site and then redeem them.
It's a one-time purchase with no ads, no microtransactions, no stamina meter, no gacha, no anything like that. Just a neat indie RPG with puzzle-based battle mechanics. It was also designed first and foremost for a phone interface (although there is also a PC port), so no need to worry about awkward controls due to being ported from another system.
Hi, what genres you like? Idk if it’s relevant but, I can propose you testing game which is not released yet. Could be interesting because we are planning to test our game and will make changes weekly according to feedback. Actually your boringness is so useful for me as game-designer, cause is harder to entertain you) So check out my posts, there is a link to get in touch or submit for testing here https://parallax-games.com/games
Dead Cells
Do you guys play with a gamepad?
Yep
what's a gamepad?
+1 for dead cells
You can also get hollow knight working if you own it on steam
Ive got hollow knight working and i never bought it on steam
I like the gameplay but I never feel like I'm getting anywhere. Like, I know it's a rouge like, but how do I progress when I always start at the beginning with nothing?
You get coins etc the more you progress, which you use to unlock new stuff/give passives in-between the levels.
Set a plan for where you want to go. For example, aim to defeat the main boss. Along the way, you'll collect different blueprints. Dying is normal. I sometimes have mental breakdowns when I have the perfect build and then die to some random stuff lmao. Experiment with different weapon and skill combinations so that even if you die, you'll know the best build to use.
There's a place at the beginning of the game where you can fight against bosses you've fought before. I practiced fighting the final boss before I had a successful run.
Slay the spire
This game will not work on my Pixel, can not even put my name on the save file. Anyone else have that issue?
* Stardew Valley * Terraria * Monument Valley 2 * Donut County * Slay the Spire * Into the Breach * Knights of the Old Republic * Life is Strange
Donut Country is such a trip. Goddamn scheming raccoons…
What was your favorite part about it? The growing hole? The wacky characters? Spilling the townsfolk's belongings?
The story is unexpectedly weird. Takes several strange turns.
What did you think about the way the world changed as the hole grew bigger? It's pretty neat how the environments transformed.
Is life is strange like choices?
How do you even play into the breach, you somehow clear out 3 monsters with all of your shit and next term a few more appears and stabs in the back, I definitely don't have enough brain cells to process what's going on.
There is no game
My dumbass thought you was trolling
Shattered Pixel Dungeon, Into the Breach, Retro Bowl
Into the breach looked interesting Have you played it how is it?
It's really solid, can get quite difficult. I wish they'd port FTL though (same devs) to Android.
I've played it on Switch. It's fantastic. It looks like a tactics/strategy game, which it is but with a huge puzzle element thrown in. It looks simple in screen shots but it's a high quality, highly addictive game.
Thanks I'll check it out
Too difficult for me tbh
unfortunately you need netflix to play it
Slice and Dice
This one.
Yeah Slice & Dice and Shattered PD are pretty much all I play.
Was gonna say the same thing
It's funny to see "recommend single player games " thread having the exact same games in all year :) .. man we need some good game devs
yeah, idk why i expect to find new games at this point
Limbo, Mini Metro
Mini metro looks cool! I might check it out
Shit I forgot about limbo
Pro tip: if you have a Netflix subscription, you can download some good single player games like Dead Cells, GTA games, and Katana Zero for free. Definitely worth to try if you're hesitating to spend money on each of these games in full. I believe all DLCs are available for Desd cells as well
Katana Zero is amazing. Played it not too long ago. Still waiting for the dlc 😭
Data Wing
Thanks I'll try this
I second, third, even fourth that.
Lemme third that.
Crashlands
That's a name I didn't hear in so long 🥹. I loved crashlands so much that i finished it 3 times
Old but still good 😎
FarmRPG, IdleMMO nice and casual (no skills needed)
Monopoly Go also in a similar category, but it's fun
Nah I don't think idle games are my cup of tea but thanks
Maybe MarvelSnap? or Chessafk (in browser, not in app)? Squad busters is launching world wide
Thanks
epic battle fantasy 5
Eehh I don't like turn based games (except Pokemon) I get very impatient But thank you for the recommendation
Please give it a try! It's free and the comments / dialogues are really cool I think. It's hast not that Long during Battles. It's really good!

Play genshin impact it’s really fun and especially with the ammount of content in the game you would never run out of things to do
If you can spend some money on apps, get Gran theft Auto San Andreas and play that, it's a really good single player game. I pass my time on it
1. Kingdom Rush Series: All time favorite tower defense game. 2. Peglin: Rougelite pachinko style game. Oddly addicting 3. Slay the Spire: Roguelite deck building game.
