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.
Shattered pixel dungeon
This is so good that I bought it in iOS
All games on fdroid
I don’t know why I never realized that.
Yeah this just hit me too. It seems so obvious now

I’ve enjoyed ports from PC games and emulation. Emulation is pretty good on android now, and that opens up a LOT of options for offline & no ads
You are absolutely correct! Only downside is it kind of sucks trying to control with onscreen controller. I suppose I’d better learn to share my bluetooth gamepad ;p
This is when Nintendo ds games and searching out games that had only stylus controls comes in handy. Stuff like Kirby Mass Attack or Warioware feel like native games. If you got a Samsung with a Spen then that’s a dream combo.
Got an 8BitDo controller off Amazon, you can get a little clip for it that holds your phone. Best $20 ever. Kinda heavy to be gaming on the go but in bed it’s great
Pokemon is really good to emulate on phones. Very slow games!
Unciv is a decent Civilization clone. And it’s open source.
Seconded! The top mods are worth checking out, too.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon
MindustrySeconding SPD. Of all Android games, I think I’ve wasted the biggest part of my life on that one. An extremely well balanced and fair roguelike, even if that sounds contradictory.
+1 for Mindustry
Vampire survivors
Holy shit is this addictive
So many hours lost
No clue this was on Android. Thanks friend
Almost every paid Kairosoft games?
Cannot agree with this enough. Kairosoft games SLAP yo.

- Any Playdigious games is good.
- Any Kairosoft games.
- ICEY is such an underrated game. The narration and it’s wit is so good.
- Levelhead if you want platformer and want Super Mario Maker on your phone.
- Limbo
Terraria
Slay the Spire is a heavy recommendation from me, though it does have online sync it works nicely offline.
I just bought it. The only problem is, that the font is relatively small.
It’s definitely cozier on a tablet for sure.
Shattered pixel dungeon if you like roguelikes; it’s on the play store and fdroid
Stardew Valley, 10/10
Supertuxkart
Nice! The OG.
My goto for offline gaming is usually emulation, typically pokemon. But I can also recommend the Bart Bonte puzzle games, Vampire Survivor and Shattered Pixel Dungeon.
+1 for emulation, especially games you never got a chance to play before when they were new
Fire emblem and advance wars are also great picks!
