Android games

Some of my discoveries:

• 2 player reactor (4 player reactor for the paid version) is a fun multiplayer reaction/quizzy game. Needs a second player obviously.
• Pax Britannica (free) was ported to Android. Also fun to play with 2, but not much replay value IMO.
• Air Control / Angry Birds / Cut The Rope / Where’s My Water / Great Little War Game / Game Dev Story / Battleheart are obvious recommendations. (various ad-supported/paid versions available, these are well-known games so google around to see if they’re for you)
• Scrambled Net! Seriously, try this, it’s an insanely fun little puzzle game, and free. Port of the KDE game KNetWalk.
• I’ve gone through a NetHack phase, but it’s even more fiddly on your phone, so it might not be for everyone. Obviously free.
• robotfindskitten (free) if you want to impress the weirder amongst your friends.
• Battle for Wesnoth has a decent port and is an awesome game by itself. Free version only has the tutorial.
• Xenowar maybe if you’re into the XCOM thing. It’s slightly dumbed down but definitely not too much. Not free.

I think you can handle yourself for a few months with these…

I can recommend getting mainly emulators. There are tons of turn-based games or RPGs that can be perfectly played on any Android phone.

For normal releases, Puzzle Quest 2 (free!), Pocket Soccer League, Shadow Age (TGC) are my main non-casual picks.

I know it’s popular (I think) but anyway, Apparatus is geniunely one of the most ingenious and well-executed puzzle games I’ve seen in a long time. It’s an Incredible Machines-ish 2D physics sandbox/puzzler, with an amazing physics engine and two depth layers so you can make all kinds of amazing apparatus.

if you’re a fan of the tabletop game Dominion, there’s a new update for Androminion that includes all of the releases up through Hinterlands, some new AI players, and a few nice interface tweaks.

My gf and I used to play a game called Family Farm. It’s a cheesy farm strategy game but it’s addictive.

If you install the SCUMM VM, then you’ll be able to play all the old point and click adventures, like Day of the Tentacle, Curse of Monkey Island, and Simon the Sorcerer.

I notice Lords of Midnight is cheap right now https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chilli.midnight&hl=enDon’t know if it’s a permanent price drop or a sale. Just started playing Broken Sword, it seems pretty good on a Nexus 7.

Crazy Taxi

Carmageddon 1 (I think 2 is coming)

Kingdom Rush I quite like

Hungry Shark Evolution is fun

Impossible Fishing I think recently came to android, and was on the last Humble Bundle for Android I think also
