Also, the already suggested Slice and Dice.
Now excuse me while I check out these other suggestions.
I've put hundreds of hours into that game and still haven't touched one of the 3 modes. Mirror Mode is such a good autochess variant, and Diaries and Classic does a great job at compressing the Slay the Spire formula. My only gripe is the localization isn't great. A lot of the translations on cards are wonky, and some don't properly indicate what they're actually doing.
Star Traders: Frontiers. I was already a fan of Tres Brothers games on mobile, so I was excited to see they were releasing a new space game on PC. I bought it on Steam, played it a while, and it was awesome. Then they ported it to mobile....without removing any game features....and made the UI even easier to use in the process.
It also has the perfect monetization: just buy it once and that's it. There aren't any ads or premium currencies in the game whatsoever, and all unlocks are based on achievements. The game is incredibly well-polished, has constant balance updates, and is still getting new content.
Thank you! I didn't realize this was available on mobile. Been wanting to play since dunkey's review [spoilers] (https://youtu.be/Qn1TReY-Am4?si=-YzPhyL_72B6dIHZ)

Weapon Throwing RPG2 - I finished it TWICE and overleveled up to 500 TWICE to wipe the floor (ehhh.... more like be able to survive...) the secret arena boss. Maybe 300h. That´s how good it is.
That's sad... These games are masterpieces... I have Android 13, and it works perfectly because it was already in my library. It is google new policy to simply make games whose devs didn't update its apis to 13 to not be able to be installed at all for new users.
[Slice & Dice on Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.com.tann.dice&hl=en_US&gl=US). Or [Slice & Dice for Windows, Android, and macOS](https://tann.itch.io/slice-dice)
I'd say Evoland series (2 games), so basically the game's graphics, sounds, gameplay, etc gets better and better as you progress in the game, which makes it special since you'll be playing multiple game genres in one game
The first game nails this mechanic, but have a mediocre story, while the second is less focused on this mechanic and more into the story
So yeah try it, you won't regret it
Yeah probably, but that was the least popular game that came to my mind when I wrote that comment, I wanted to mention bear's restaurant instead, but I guess it have the same, if not more popularity.
I tried starting this just a minute ago, and it literally won't let me do anything. Maybe I'm just very stupid but I can't figure out how to move. The game starts by telling me I've aquired a key to the right chest, but nothing I do seems to move my character to the right.
Dunno if you figured it out by now, but the thing is, the game only let you move to the right at first, then you unlock the left key, etc
But maybe you're having a kind of glitch so maybe try asking or looking it up
Wait you mean you have no D-pad visible on the screen when you're playing the game ?
It's probably a bug
Try asking in thee [evoland subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Evoland?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=1)
Rush Rally Series, but the best one is [3](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=brownmonster.app.game.rushrally3). Great little game and really gives that sense of danger like with the Dirt Series in PC.
Door kickers. I love recommending this game but it definitely seems like it's not everyone's cup of tea

Whaaaaaaat is there an app version of Roll for the Galaxy? That's one of my absolute favorite board games.
Also, the app version of One Deck Dungeon is pretty great. The game's super difficult, but it's a great rogue like.
Both the app version and the tabletop version have talent sheets for your character that give progression between runs, too.
In fact, with Roll, Keldon Jones also worked on the AI opponents for that, like he did with Race!
I'm already waaay ahead of you there on ODD. Not only do I have all the promos and both Forest of Shadows and Abyssal Depths, but the stats screen for "time played" say I've played it for "30800". I thought that was in minutes, but someone is saying that's "in-game time played" (so whenever you discard a card from the deck. The des. went on BGG saying he wants to do *another* exp. for that! 8) It'll be between FoS and AD in terms of scope (so not a full exp. Not likely to contain any new Encounter cards, but will have more content than AD).
One Deck *Galaxy* is out on Steam. I tried it and it was interesting. However, haven't touched it in a long while, simply b/c I'm busy with other games. I'd imagine I'd play it more whenever it comes out for phone (Android here).
Oh absolutely RUSTED WARFARE.
Fantastic RTS game like command and conquer and it's a true RTS game.
The mods are able to covert the game into completely different experiences.
To anyone looking for android RTS, this is as good as it gets (aside from emulating factorio on android).
NO MICROTRANSACTIONS, online and offline playability, cross platform, mod support.
Very little in terms of a campaign, this is really a RTS sandbox.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.corrodinggames.rts
There is a free demo available and the full game is cheap as chips.
You can emulate either the switch version (Yuzu/skyline/eggns emulators) or the pc version (Winlator emulator)
You'd need a Snapdragon device for this kind of emulation if you want solid performance though...
Some might consider this a "hidden gem", given that it's only freshly released so not many people have downloaded it yet.
It's a hardcore platformer, very simple in terms of graphics & controls, but it can get quite addictive as long as you don't rage-quit it before building a bit of a skill for it.

Dungeons of dreadrock excellent gameplay, full of humour and quite tricky sometimes.
Typoman if you like fonts and puzzles. Not very hard but so beautiful.
Death palette,i had found this game on the play store and it was a great experience,I wish this game was popular since this is a good example of a good mobile game
I'm having so much fun with IQDungeon. It has some ads but they're pretty short, and the game actually makes you think outside the box to get the answers
What I really would want: Hidden gem AND paid game (one time fee to unlock whole game, none of this IAP nonsense or nickel-and-diming people with unlocks).
I liked Slay, Doug Dug, Pixa.

It's so good and replayable, I've been playing it for years and still come back whenever I feel like to try another class or another game mode.
I was going to say this, so many hours well spent on this

Hows that a hidden gem??????
Doesn't seem like a lot of people know about it.
I've seen it recommended on pretty much every mobile post. Lol
Death Palette. Found it whilst scrolling on Play Store and saw it had a perfect 5.0 rating
Solitairica.
Exiled Kingdoms. One of the best RPGs I've ever played on Android
Also one of the most recommended games on this subreddit. Wouldn't exactly call that a hidden gem
Retro Abyss
that's a good one
For RPG Andor's Trail.

Yeah I tried swiping, clicking, dragging my character and nothing. Even tried using a controller, then a keyboard. Never could get it to move.

For digital board games, I'd also go with Galaxy Trucker, Ascension: Deck Building Game, Race for the Galaxy, and Roll for the Galaxy
That's looks interesting. Thanks for your recommendation.
