The only computer access I have right now are my phone and a tablet. I went looking to see if there are any good games, and I can't find any. I have Warlight, which is awesome, but it is more like a board game than video game, and I need another option.
I thought I scored when I found xcom, but it suffers from the same problem that the desktop versions do. It hides a potentially good game inside an unusable interface. They focused so much on trying to make it look good that they sacrificed useability. Units get lost in the scenery etc.
Anything else I saw that looked like it had potential came with in game purchases.
I am also not interested in multi-player or online games.
Please, can someone recommend a good single player game with no in game purchases? I am willing to pay for the game, but not the continuing pay to win bullshit.
I like strategy games best, but am pretty open to anything.
Download F-Droid and browse the games on there. Everything is open source, free and no in-game purchases. I highly recommend Pixel Dungeon if you like rogue-likes, Tanks of Freedom has awful AI but is a decent local multiplayer game and good game concept, Open Flood is a unique and challenging puzzle game, Anuto TD (Another Ugly Tower Defense) is an alright TD. Pixel Dungeon is my go to game to play on plane rides, which is about the only time I play Android games.
