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 survival is a great little vampire survivor clone
It’s the other way actually
Really? I had no idea, thanks for that!
The Room is a fantastic series of lovely 3D puzzle box and room games! I really enjoy them :3
Similaritron (seems abandoned, but still works)
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)
That’s weired. Runs flawlessly on my Android 13.
Shattered pixel dungeon
This is so good that I bought it in iOS
Witcheye is a good version of flappy bird, as its controlled with only one finger, with extremely difficult platforming.
Supermeat boy forever, great game all around but very difficult.
Star Traders: Frontiers. Be a space trucker/pirate/merc. Singleplayer offline space turn-based RPG Pay once only but frequent free updates. No bullshit P2W, gacha, timers etc etc.
Bonus: kill xenos scum, customize your ship load out, satisfying crew combat.
Cons: annoying RNG card minigame for spying, blockading, salvaging. Enemies esp. xenos can get very unforgiving on high difficulty setting.
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.
Terraria
Unciv and Shattered Pixel Dungeon have been on my Phone forever. Both available on FDroid.
Stardew Valley, 10/10
Chiki’s Chase is a great game.
Patience balls
Angry Birds. I bought a ad free version for like 2 bucks and it’s the original angry birds with no MTX.
every game is ad free is you use pi-hole
Yeah but I’m all over the adblocking front at home. This is specifically for when we travel waaay out of civilisation but my kids still want to play some games. Pretty annoying that most of them don’t work at all.
Not interested in packing the starlink dish for this purpose, I go out there to disconnect, that’s kind of the goal.
I don’t play on mobile but I can recommend;
- Baldur’s Gate
- Sudoku
- Devilution X
- RVGL
- Moonshades
Yioto is a great indie dev with lots of gems, but if particularly recommend Antiyoy.
I’d also recommend Battle for Polytopia.
I’m fairly certain both these turn based strategy games will work fine offline.
