I've pirated Cultist Simulator after someone suggested it in the last week's occultism thread and, man, this is a perfect mobile game for me. Not too simple be boring. Simple and chill enough to play for hours while laying on my friends couch

What games do you guys play on your phones? I emulated DS Pokemon and tried the new Ace Attorney but that one didn't land.

Tangent: Supposedly Cultist Simulator is based on Lovecraft's novel Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath about an occultist travelling through the Dreamlands. I found the whole concept and it's realisation in the game incredibly cool, but the actual book turned out to be borderline unreadable. Seems like Lovecraft is a great idea guy, but not that great at turning those ideas into quality fiction.

      Both of these are my SO's go-to. Though I'd add the Free Software adaptation of Civ 5, Unciv. It's available on F-Droid.

    Seedship is pretty good. You control a starship full of cryogenicly frozen people trying to find a habitable plant to settle. All text based. If you do really well you can establish enlightened post scarcity communism.

    Polytopia is a pretty good turn-based strategy game and Day R Survival is a competent post-apocalyptic survival game, has a few annoying intrusions but nothing too bad, a bit grindy tho.

    Mini metro is fun

    Data wing as well (plus a bit of lore to go with it)

    I recommend (one-unit) tactics roguelike Hoplite. Haven't bought the full game (which lets you go on infinitely and probably has more powerups/enemies) but the free version itself is pretty good

      Downloaded Hoplite, played it for like 10 minutes and it seems like exactly the game I like. A bit of thinking, not much pressure, simple controls.

      Thanks for the suggestion.

      It somehow reminds me of Final Fantasy Tactics I used to play through Gameboy Advanced emulator. I wonder if there anything like it but, you know, good.

    I've gradually pared down the ones I downloaded but Mindustry, Element TD, and Burning Sand are fun time-wasters, Pocket Tanks is a cute little artillery game you can play passing back and forth with someone else
