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.

Pixel Dungeon or Shattered Pixel. They’re roguelike dungeon explorers. The latter is a continuation of the former, which hasn’t been developed for some years now.
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
Found an old archive so I’m going to ad to the thread myself:
Alto’s Adventure and Alto’s Odyssey both definitely work offline, but I’m not sure about them trying to serve you advertisements.
I also used to have a considerable library of emulated games on my phone and would use a bluetooth gamepad. I should probably go back down this road I think! I’d imagine emulation has come a long way since I was mucking around with it.
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.
Papers Please is what I mostly play on my phone on aeroplanes (if I haven’t packed the steam deck). A classic that works well on mobile
Also, Mini Metro (and the rest of the series) is great.
Soul Knight is my go to
Puzzles - no internet, no cost, no pay-to-win, no ads, no fancy UI, just classic logic puzzles!
Vampire survivors
No clue this was on Android. Thanks friend
Holy shit is this addictive
So many hours lost
DATA WING, is a great game! Really well made, easy to pick up for a few miniuits and really well scripted!
I played that like a billion years ago. I don’t remember much about it now, story wise, but it was fun.
Mindustry and Unciv are my main recommendations. If you like strategy stuff, you’ll have a blast.
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.
Magic Research It’s an paid offline idle game without ads and a nice progression. Also has a demo. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mcolotto.magicresearchfull
I’ve been playing Card Quest a bit, it’s a card-based roguelike.
