I have two 9 hour plane flights coming up, and I'm trying to stock up on games. Right now I have Dragonfall, Banner Saga, King of Dragon Pass, and some Kairosoft games installed. Are there any really immerisive, lengthy games worth adding? With the caveat that I've already played through all the Infinity Engine games on Android.

Thanks for the recs guys. It turns out I bought the first Sorcery in some Amazon sale and just never played it, so I'll add that for sure. For KotOR I don't have a bluetooth controller -- I don't remember the control scheme very well, but if that's not an issue, I'll check it out. W/r/t Final Fantasy, I've never played any of them and am kind of intimidated at jumping in. Is there one in particular that makes sense as a starting point?

poo poo, thanks guys I'm actually pretty pumped for 18 hours of sitting in a tiny chair. Granbed the first Illyria and Kotor. Chrono Trigger is actually the one jrpg I've played (and I've played it once on SNES, once on DS, etc.) so decided to get FF 6 instead. I'm also just gonna take a moment to appreciate mobile technology -- truly we live in amazing times.

The Aguamoose posted:Can anyone recommend a good game where you build a village/town/building/whatever? Not something like clash of clans, but something where the building part is the point. I don't mind what kind of style it is, cute or serious, as long as it's not too hard or grindy and I can enjoy making something satisfying or aesthetically pleasing. I don't mind paying, I'd rather that than a freeware game with ridiculous microtransactions. I can't find much along those lines, except Kairosoft games, and I have no idea which of those are any good (I have game Dev story). I agree that Fiz is a good management game, and is very satisfying to play, but in terms of building a cool city and watching it work/tweaking it, I like Oh! Edo Towns and Dungeon Village by kairosoft. The former is more building focused. Neither are particularly deep, but they're relaxing and fun.

Cool, thanks. Realistically, I'll probably end up buying both once I get a bit more survey dollars. Guess I'll try the free version of Desktop Dungeons and see what I think for now.

Most of these are in the OP, but the games that I play most on mobile are: Ridiculous Fishing Sproggiwood (recently) Hoplite Shadowrun Returns/Dragonfall Kairosoft games -- most recently Ninja Village, Dungeon Village is my favorite with honorable mention to Game Dev Story 80 Days The first two are casual games, the third = great rpgs, the 4th fun simple sims and the last is a really cool story based game.

I've played Sproggiwood and Hoplite to death, and just downloaded Pixel Dungeon. With the caveat that I only have a phone, no tablet (so Desktop Dungeons is sadly not an option), what are other good roguelikes? Fwiw, I liked the variety the Sproggiwood classes provided, but I wished it had a little more depth. On the other side of the coin, I liked the dtrategic challenge of Hoplite but wished it had more challenge. E: realized I have also played 868-Hack, which for some reason didn't click with me in the same way. Maybe because it felt too much like a straight puzzle and less like an rpg experience with exploration etc. foutre fucked around with this message at 14:06 on Jun 21, 2015 |

Karthe posted:This discussion hasn't come up in a while so I'll I like Sproggiwood (sic?) a lot -- it's less tactical than some, but has fun classes and levels and I enjoyed it a lot. Also on high difficulties there are definitely times when you have to plan carefully, but it's still beatable. It has semi-persistence in the form of items that carry over from run to run. Also, try Hoplite! It feels like more of a puzzle, and though there's less variety in terms of classes or whatever it feels very tactical and is a great game.

and ask for your guys' suggestions for roguelikes. I played several hours of Pixel Dungeon this past week but never once made it past the third or fourth floor. I'm sure I'm just terrible, but I never felt like I could level up fast enough to survive later floors. And there's not a whole lot of variety in items and enemies so my runs kinda started to blend together. What are some alternatives I should try out? Free or paid doesn't matter to me.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Has anyone here played Galaxy Trucker with local multiplayer? I'm trying to convince my wife to buy it so we can play together, but if it's no good, then I won't bother. And yes, I realize a bunch of goons on here don't like the game and I don't care. My SO and I played it for 6 hours on a bus the day we downloaded it, and then uninstalled it because that level of time sink is dangerous. It's definitely a different experience (with the ship construction portion not being simultaneous) than the physical version but it's really fun, and I'd recommend it if you've got a long trip or the like, but not necessarily just for sitting at home.

Is anyone playing Call of Champions? It's a moba where matches take ~5 minutes, with very simple mechanics but kind of surprising depth. I've played a couple games of it so far, and it's actually pretty fun. Basically, you are in a 3v3 match with a time limit of 5 minutes to push 2 orbs (one on top one on the bottom) to take out your opponents towers, whoever kills more towers at the end of the game wins. There are a pretty high number of configurations/strategies people try out, and although the touch controls are a bit odd they work pretty well all in all and most of the classic moba archetypes are present. I haven't seen any mentions of it, so figured I'd throw one out there: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sts.ch&hl=en

EzEight posted:Call of Champions, would you recommend playing it on a phone? It works better on a phone than Vainglory imo, but I do have a phablet with a ~6 inch screen so it might be different if you go smaller. It is somewhat better on a tablet, but still readable and fun on a phone. It really is just a very surprisingly good port of the moba style and a solid game in its own right.

I kinda wanna play either FF:Tactics or Shadowrun. I don't have a tablet though, I've only got my Nexus 6P - will I hate playing those games on a smaller screen? I'm guessing they're optimised for tablets. I played through Shadowrun on my Note 3 and it wasn't bad at all. The text sometimes got a bit small, but it was still generally readable and the game as a whole works very well on mobile imo.

The pockettactics review of Planar Conquest for iOS is out already: http://www.pockettactics.com/reviews/review-planar-conquest/ . The basic takeaway is that it has all the basics of a detailed 4x game, but the UI and overall feel of the game on a tablet was offputting. My instinct is to wait for a sale.

I just got like 11 surveys back to back, a lot of which were repeats, over the course of like 5 minutes. I'm not complaining, but I can't imagine that giving me 5 survey bucks that fast for repeat questions is working as intended. Markovnikov posted:Hey, sorry if this is a bunch of stupid questions but I'm new to the whole brave new world of android tablets. Try 7 Mages, it's a turn-based rpg with a party system that's apparently a lot like wizardry/other old school dungeon crawlers. I haven't played it myself, but it's really well reviewed and sounds like it would be right up your alley. Also, maybe you'd enjoy Baldurs Gate/Icewind Dale EE, they translate well to a decent sized tablet.

I'm up to 18; the last two were the exact same, asking about whether I watched polo. Then I got a follow up asking how often I played polo. I've never watched or played polo (I didn't realize anyone did in the year of our Lord 2016), I hadn't actually left my apartment when I got all the surveys and the others were also oddly specific and seemingly random. I assume something's wrong with their system atm, or someone is really interested in polo all of a sudden.

Chinook posted:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SongGameDev.EleTD It's a port of a Warcraft 3 custom map, which they've remade as a Starcraft 2 and Dota 2 custom game as well so they're probably pretty experienced at it by now. Seconding that it's really good. I feel like a lot of other WC3 custom games would work well on mobile. Winter maul wars comes to mind, tree tag as well. It feels like good versions of those sorts of games haven't really been done on mobile yet. It does seem like the team behind this has been unusually persistent, but hopefully some of the others will do the same.

It is apparently more of a puzzle game with Civ-like mechanics, but that seems like exactly the kind of thing that would translate really well to mobile. Thanks for posting this, I was really disappointed that it wasn't on Android and might have missed it entirely with the name change. Downloading asap, will report on if it's as good as it seems like it could be. e: Oh drat there's pass and play multiplayer, I hope they add online as well.

CascadeBeta posted:Polytopia continues to be a lot of fun. Buying some of the IAP civs actually makes the game way harder though. Having the archer Civ start as an enemy is real rough. I'm currently stuck at 3 enemy civs on hard on perfection. I don't see myself getting bored of it for a while. Yeah, I was really pleasantly surprised at how much depth the different starting techs add -- it definitely seems like the AI goes down different tech routes depending on what they start with, and the early game feels very different depending on who you end up nearby. I think this is honestly my mobile GotY 2016. There was an episode of the Three Moves Ahead podcast where they discussed the dearth of 'bite size strategy' games on PC, and said that it was mostly going to be mobile games in the future. I feel like Polytopia is really living up to that promise in a way that a lot of other mobile strategy games haven't quite done. I'm pretty sure I'm bad at it though, I'm having trouble breaking the 30k point barrier. Every time I play I can pretty much tell when I've messed up my city planning/build pretty clearly though, and it's always fun to try and improve the next time round. Speaking of, does anyone have recc's for good strategies for trying to run up the score? Gotta start 3 starring.

Solid Poopsnake posted:Whoever recommended Galimulator for watching the rise and fall of space empires without ever actually playing, you did me a solid. I've been watching the Illegal Wong Syndicate scrap and peddle their illegal Wongs from a small spiral arm of a dozen stars for 40 millennia. Agreed 100% -- I've been rooting for the Meng worlds, who were a contender for major power around 20 millenia ago, but now are much smaller, with about 4 stars in the NE corner, and just had an empire called "Axe Gang" start expanding near them and I've got a feeling their days are numbered... The 'transcending/degenerating' behaviors really make the interplay of different empires so much more interesting in terms of the macro-level rise/fall than when you're actually playing a 4x.

In my experience at least, the only times I've wished I'd been playing the other EE games on pc was during extended combat sequences with more opportunities for misclicking. Since combat isn't much of a thing in Planescape I'd imagine that's less of an issue, and the others are great otherwise seems like it's a really good fit for mobile. E: also, for me at least, I like getting infinity engine games on mobile because then they don't have to compete with like, tyranny or other pc only rpgs for gaming time.

There's a few ui issues (I. E., in the studio section it sometimes won't register taps, the way that your characters stats are displayed in the menu is a bit too split up, etc) but the game itself is fun and seems very well suited to short play sessions while having a good bit of content.

Does anyone have recommendations for good kind of light android 4x games? Basically, I've been playing battle for polytopia and have found myself wishing that it lasted longer/had more options for trading, culture victory etc. From googling around, it looks like Civ Revolution might be a good option, although it looks like it's gotten somewhat mixed reviews. I'd kind of rather not have it be in space, although if the best options are all set there I'm down to try it.

Wow that's a cool design. It works so well as a portrait game, and it looks like there's a ton of depth. I really wish they had a proper tutorial though, between the lack of explanation and the awkward English it's been a struggle. If there was a proper getting started guide/a wiki this game would be so much more accessible. As it is though prolly still going to put in the time to figure it out, it does seem like it'll be worth the time spent. Thanks for posting it!
