Fools quest I know but I’m wondering if there are any good, native games that I can play on my android handheld
Edit: I forgot but controller support is also needed.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a great Rouge-like.

Nah, everything is filtered through a slight red filter

- Slay the Spire
- Slice and Dice
- Balatro
- Vampire Survivors
- Retro Bowl/Retro Bowl College/Retro Goal
- Hoplite
Just to start off, there was a thread about this some time ago.
Did you look at who the creator of this and that thread was?
Not intending to be mean or anything, just found it funny.
It’s still useful because others will have the same question.
Oh. I forgot that I made this same post a while ago
Balatro is super good
Slice and Dice. Turn based RPG dungeon fighter where your party are all unique dice that you can modify with items and such. The interface is super slick and well done.
I’ve put in hundreds of hours and I’m going to likely be putting in hundreds more. Well worth the price!
Super Hexagon
- Sokoban
- Atomas
- Magic Survival
- Mindustry
- Terraria
+1 for Magic Survival 🖤
+1 for mindustry. If you like factorio, this is a game for you.
In the end I just settled with the logic based ones like minesweeper and sudoku. F-droid has a good version each (and more than one maybe).
PlanetCon is a decent strategy game on its basic settings. I haven’t customised it but have had a fair amount of fun in it. But it is nothing perfect, do not expect too much out of it. If you learn how to not attract the ire of all AI opponents simultaneously though, you can have short bursts of decent strategy enjoyment.
- Magic Survival (Bullet Heaven)
- Eternium (Action RPG)
- Bombsquad (Idk what genre this would fit in lol) 🟢
- I Love Hue and it’s sequel (Color based puzzles)
- Heroism and Impossible Dungeon (Idle/incremental) first one is singleplayer, second one is mostly singleplayer but has pvp tournaments were you compete to be the first on a leaderboard.
- Slipstream (Multiplayer idle?) best played if you’re watching the stream of the person who’s the captain.
- Dungeon Faster (Dungeon crawler, deck builder)
- Apocalypse Heroes (Top-down shooter)
- Vampire Survivors (Bullet Heaven) 🟢
- Brotato (Bullet Heaven) 🟢
- 20 Minutes Till Dawn (Bullet Heaven) 🟢
- Halls of Torment (Bullet Heaven) 🟢
- Dungeon Quest (Action RPG) 🟢
- Death Road to Canada (Roguelite, survival) 🟢
- Infinitode 2 (Tower Defense)
- Meteorfall: Journeys (Deck builder, roguelite)
- Meteorfall: Kurmit’s Tale (Deck builder, roguelite)
- Super Auto Pets (Auto-chess, asynchronous pvp)
- SAS 4 (Coop top-down shooter)
- Outfire (Top-down battle royale)
Edit: added a green emoji for the games that have controller support.
I want to add Katawa Shoujo for those who might enjoy visual novels
Sky: Children of Light is a delightful game from the creators of Journey, and plays sort of like a Journey MMO
It has a splendid soundtrack featuring vocals from the ever talented AURORA, and beautiful visuals. It is also a great social experience, putting a focus on fostering connections and community. It gets regular content updates and its just super cozy!
Nice.
Do you know if it has controller support?
I am not certain if the android version has controller support but I do know that they ported it to consoles and PC and those versions indeed do have controller support
It does!
I’m sold
I don’t know much about android handhelds or anything, but I feel like Mindustry on F-droid could be a fun game. No idea if the device is touchscreen, nor if there are physical controls whether they’ll work natively.
Depends on your willingness to pay. Balatro, Slay the Spire, Dead Cells are all really good but cost around 10 bucks each but are among the best mobile games you could want, all offering different styles of gameplay
Xcom, Dragon Quest 4-8, Loop Hero
- OpenTTD: Open Source and available for free.
- Settlers 2 via some DosBOX version. Back when I still used Android I used Dosbox Turbo, but it seems to have been removed from the Play Store. No clue which DosBOX build for Anrdoid is good nowadays…
- 2048: Open Source and free puzzle game
- Threes: Puzzle game similar to 2048
- Cogs: Puzzle game. No clue how to find it on the play store, but it’s available at humblebundle.
- Slay the Spire: Deck Builder roguelike.
- Space Chem: Zachlike puzzle game. (Actually not only zachlike - it’s form zachtronics)
and basically any Android game that ever was part of a Humble Mobile Bundle. Those happened before Humble Bundle was sold and consequently became boring.
What kind of handheld, what genre, open source or anything goes…?
There are many decent games, as in “none or optional ads, not pay to win”. Some P2W can be played up to a certain point before they become obnoxious.
Recently I’ve been playing casual/idle ones:
- Rush Royale
- Raid Rush
- Pocket Champs
- Capybara Go
Before that, I went through a phase of RTS:
- Last War
- Top Heroes
- Million Lords
Before that… don’t remember anymore, I keep switching genres every few months 🤷
