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.

    Pokemon TCGP if you’re into that sort of thing. It starts with just collecting, but after a while you’ll be able to battle.

    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

    Animal crossing pocket camp just became buy to play. It’s currently on a reduced price right now, and it’s pretty fun. I enjoy it because it’s played vertically, and now that there’s no micro transactions, I can earn all the items just by playing. It had a 7 year life cycle, so there’s a lot of content to check out.

    The gameplay loop is fairly limited, and I wouldn’t say it’s the most fun. But once you get enough items to start decorating things, it makes it fun to spruce to your campsite and personal spaces.

    Edit: added a green emoji for the games that have controller support.

    Which handheld do you have? The games depends on the screen size and buttons available. Without that information, [email protected] is the only safe bet I have.

        A Retroid Pocket 4 Pro? That thing is an emulation beast. For me, I’d be right at home playing Dreamcast and PSP games with RetroAchievements turned on. But this thread isn’t about emulation.

        I bet [email protected] runs great on this thing. Dead Cells and Streets of Rage 4 seem to be popular picks too. I’d look into unofficial ports like RSDK, Ship of Harkinian, Open XCOM, Open Lara, and D1X-Redux. The Retroid front end can probably install some of those for you.

    • Imperium Galactica 2: Alliances
    • Knights of the Old Republic

    Both are excellent PC games with native Android ports.

    I am not really into racing games but I tried super tux cart and it was fun. It has an android version.

      This is interesting, it looks like a remake of Alto’s Adventure. The control sensitivity takes a moment to get used to, but the background is just as nice as the original, and the music is indeed relaxing

    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!

    Balatro. I only own it on Android. I don’t think the experience is significantly reduced on Android as opposed to PC/other platforms.

    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.

    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!
