I'm a GENERAL, not some opera floozy!
Does it exist, outside the likes of Square-Enix's mobile ports? Games that aren't there to waste time, but that a person who sets aside time for gaming would like?

The phone port of King of Dragon Pass and Battle for Wesnoth are decent, but those are real actual computer games that just got ported to a phone instead of being real phone games.

You can use your smart phone to find all sorts of good games. Snake, open up your idroid and mark the location of your PS4 on the map.

i like puzzle and dragons but i wouldnt waste my time with it if you hate matching games because thats all the gameplay is. and hell, its for people with serious mental disabilities that make them throw money in the furnace, not for serious gamers.

touch movement is cheating, well designed games have little blank panel on the screen for control input so you're not dragging your finger over the ship itself.
