Fools quest I know but I’m wondering if there are any good, native games that I can play on my android handheld

Edit: I forgot but controller support is also needed.

    Depends on your willingness to pay. Balatro, Slay the Spire, Dead Cells are all really good but cost around 10 bucks each but are among the best mobile games you could want, all offering different styles of gameplay

    Balatro. I only own it on Android. I don’t think the experience is significantly reduced on Android as opposed to PC/other platforms.

    Slice and Dice. Turn based RPG dungeon fighter where your party are all unique dice that you can modify with items and such. The interface is super slick and well done.

    I’ve put in hundreds of hours and I’m going to likely be putting in hundreds more. Well worth the price!

      This is interesting, it looks like a remake of Alto’s Adventure. The control sensitivity takes a moment to get used to, but the background is just as nice as the original, and the music is indeed relaxing

    Which handheld do you have? The games depends on the screen size and buttons available. Without that information, !Balatro@lemm.ee is the only safe bet I have.

        A Retroid Pocket 4 Pro? That thing is an emulation beast. For me, I’d be right at home playing Dreamcast and PSP games with RetroAchievements turned on. But this thread isn’t about emulation.

        I bet !skychildrenoflight@lemmy.world runs great on this thing. Dead Cells and Streets of Rage 4 seem to be popular picks too. I’d look into unofficial ports like RSDK, Ship of Harkinian, Open XCOM, Open Lara, and D1X-Redux. The Retroid front end can probably install some of those for you.

    In the end I just settled with the logic based ones like minesweeper and sudoku. F-droid has a good version each (and more than one maybe).

    PlanetCon is a decent strategy game on its basic settings. I haven’t customised it but have had a fair amount of fun in it. But it is nothing perfect, do not expect too much out of it. If you learn how to not attract the ire of all AI opponents simultaneously though, you can have short bursts of decent strategy enjoyment.

    Pokemon TCGP if you’re into that sort of thing. It starts with just collecting, but after a while you’ll be able to battle.

    I don’t know much about android handhelds or anything, but I feel like Mindustry on F-droid could be a fun game. No idea if the device is touchscreen, nor if there are physical controls whether they’ll work natively.
