Sandwich Anarchist posted:Just to clarify, what that means is that the game always ends in a drawn out hell war and your entire game economy up to then is to support that. Not that that's a bad thing, Polytopia whips rear end! But a nation builder it is not. But it plays great in mobile format. Also "drawn out war" is more the Dominion mode. You can play purely for score in Perfection mode, which just ends in 30 turns.

Jailbreaking your phone? In Android? --- In modern Android I've had to connect USB to my PC to get full access to the file system, but I didn't need to hack anything after they made that change where apps can't access system files or the files of other apps. (I did this to copy my Steam save of Slay the Spire to the Android version.)

Looks like a permanent price drop (and $20 CAD) ... put it in my wishlist in case I ever run out of games. (Already played the poo poo out of it on PC!)

Poopy Palpy posted:Which is pretty infuriating, since it doesn't have cloud saves. What is it even syncing?  I should have added, the save data is copyable between Android and PC versions of the game (and presumably Mac). In theory it might work with other platforms, but you can't typically access console or iOS file systems without hacks.

Just noticed the special tribes in Polytopia are all on sale for half price (Steam version too). I've played this game for years without ever touching the modified rules tribes.

I'll stan for Slice & Dice, Polytopia, Slay the Spire, You Must Build a Boat, Lara Croft Go... and some good PC/console ports are the XCOM games and KOTOR. I'm enjoying Shattered released by Netflix, but it's hard to call it "a phone game". It's a modern Breakout/Arkanoid version I used to play on PS3. It's nice but I prefer stuff that's turn-based/slower on mobile.

I'm surprised they stripped maps out of it. I didn't chime in because I've only played XCOM1 on Android, which I was surprised by how great it was.

w00tmonger posted:I've been playing so much of sloce and dice after the big update. It's so god drat good. Seconding the XCOM ports; they play well on Android. But also I love Polytopia which is a mobile rear end tactics game. It superficially looks like a Civilization type of thing, but it's so simplified, it's essentially pure tactics. Free to start with four nations (no ads), and additional ones cost a couple bucks each and go on sale regularly.

Ah that's different. I play a few matches every few months these days, but every time I'm always surprised at how well it's held up. Also I'm surprised they're still developing it and adding/tweaking rules. Like diplomacy was not a thing at all when I first started.

Besides Slay the Spire, noticed #ymbab is a bit glitchy on my Android 13 OnePlus 9P. Totally playable and doesn't crash like StS, but it often lets me add more quests than I should be able to and has a display glitch on the mission select. I mostly mention because it's a bit disappointing that stuff can apparently decay over OS releases if not maintained by the authors.

Kotor plays great on my phone, and I'd say has a better interface + graphics than trying to play the old PC version. There was supposed to be a remake coming out but I think it's in limbo now.

And then the director after leaving Konami kickstarted Bloodstained, which is like the ultimate version of all those games. It's been an amazing project.

Was messing around on Google Play and noticed I had a notification for a Google Play Games beta from a month ago to be able to play Android games on my PC ... had to mess around with BIOS/UEFI to enable virtualisation, and install Windows features to be able to open the app ... and it's just a small fixed selection of games I've never heard of. But cool if in future I could play/sync some of my faves on PC.

All I know of are Unciv, a free Civ 5 clone; Civilization Revolutions 2 which is a simplified game, kinda closer to the original Civ 1. I mostly play Polytopia which is extremely simplified and mostly tactical combat. There are building+tech tree mechanics. It's free to play and you spend a few bucks to add more factions to the game beyond the default four.

You can play without the turn limit too of course. There's a lot going on, but yeah ... I was going to mention how the stripped down simplicity makes it more of a puzzle but realistically all 4X games are puzzles when you distill their mechanics. The other factions go on sale pretty often.
