I would really love to kill some time on my phone. The games I have tried include: Slay the spire, shattered pixel dungeon, unciv, dead cells. Other than that, are there any solid phone games or otherwise ports, paid or not?

    Dawncaster is a really solid roguelike deck builder. One time payment, no ads, paid DLCs with additional archetypes and maps.

    I really like Space Flight Simulator. It’s a simplified 2d kerbal basically. Also a sucker for Antiyoy, Balatro, Auralux, and of course an emulator (delta for iOS) so I can play pokemon games.

    Boardgame ports are nice, but sometime difficult on a small screen. I am also enjoying Star Traders: Frontiers. There are even the Old Total Wars games. All this are not free though. Netflix has several good games if you are subscribed.

    Dolphin if you’re into GameCube games. I’ve played through all of Paper Mario and smugglers run on my phone. Now I’m spending a majority of my time in the original Animal Crossing.

    Cat Bird is a very simple indie platformer that’s for free on the play store that ai kinda love alot. If you don’t mind doing some set up, emulation makes you phone a pretty solid portable console. On the ports side of things, Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night are pretty good games

    If you have a Netflix subscription, the app lets you install many games that aren’t looking for microtransactions within.

    Most of the Ace Attorney games are on smartphones.

    I’ve also been having a lot of fun with Zenless Zone Zero. F2P, combat is based around swapping between a team of three, and making use of parry / dodge frame effects.

    True surf is a dope surfing simulator. Only catch is that unlocking boards is an insane grind, but none of them are better or worse really just different.

    ScummVM with a ton of classic adventures like Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle or Broken Sword.

    Beneath a Steel Sky and Flight of the Amazon Queen are free.

    If you want to play an RPG via ScummVM, World of Xeen is awesome.

    No, not really. This isn’t the platform you want for good games unfortunately.
