is there any decent lcd phone thats released in 2024/2025 that can game and use for everyday basic tasks?

im looking for primarily xiaomi/poco since they are the cheapest budget is around 200 plus minus 50.

basically im looking similar to x6 pro but downgrade screen as i hate led screens and want to save money while having extra sot.

Damn idk why it make me sad. I still miss playing their games..like Shadow gun war games, dead trigger 2.. I thought that they will come back to mobile games back in the future but they have completely stopped.😭

I'm trying to play Sonic CD Restored. It has a proper Android port, but it doesn't come with touchscreen controls, only gamepad support. The virtual gamepad app they recommend is GameKeyboard +, but when I install it, it claims that it doesn't work in my region, and only gives me the option to remove the app from my device.

I've been googling around but all the other virtual gamepads I could find seem to just be for using your android device with your PC. Is there any good virtual gamepad app that works just for playing on the phone itself?

My 4 year old wants a game where he can make or prepare food. Something like adding toppings to a pizza before cooking it or making a sandwich.

Looking for something simple he can play on his tablet.

Any ideas?

there is this game has been on my mind for the past week. at first i thought i wouldn't care if i didn't ever see it again but i keep thinking about the game and it would give me a lot of peace of mind finding it

Anybody know if a release date has been said? Can't wait for it to drop on mobile.

Where exactly can I find the texts for this game? I want to change the language of this game to my country's language
The name of the game is : My Princess Girlfriend: Moe An

It belongs to : Genius Studio Japan Inc.

Please help me

It was a bit like Virtual Families, in that you tend to your characters' needs, build them houses, get them married and have children, manage the village's resources etc.

But it had the unique aspect of the parents having specific skills that can be passed on to their kids (Foraging, farming, forestry, mining, fishing and hunting), which reduce the time taken for those tasks. Each villager inherited one skill from their parent and when they came of age you could choose a third one, it made for interesting "jack of all trades or master of one" combinations.

It's hard to find games like this one, because the "breeding" part is always related to animals, and the village/kingdom management is always related to tycoon/survival games.

So basically, I want a game 1. where you can "raise" multiple generations of HUMANS 2. that has the inheritance mechanic 3. f2p friendly, meaning there is no paywalled content and you don't have to pay to progress.

Guys, I got a problem, I'm a doom scroller and there's just SO much doom now, it's destroying my mental health and I need a replacement solution. Something I can pop out while Im waiting for something in place of scrolling the internet news. I'm looking for some games that fit the following qualifications since I have a Steam Deck if I want to play a "real" game for longer travel sessions and the goal here isn't to get me sitting and playing a game for a long time.

-(optional but preferred) Vertical screen
-Few or no "controls", just clicking on buttons to do navigate around and do actions and such
-Few or no time sensitive content so I can look up for my phone and leave it for a few seconds if need be without problems
-Playable in short bursts of just a few minutes at a time when desired (so no save points/save screens)
-Gameplay loop is sustainable without feeling like you just do one thing over and over again
-No clickers, looking for a casual experience that I don't need to focus on too intently most of the time...also they make me spastic and anxious and that's the problem I'm trying to avoid.
-I don't mind gatcha, actually I kind of like them since that addictive nature scratches the itch to doom scroll, but no waifu games like Nikke.
-Paid is okay, but no subscriptions.
-No competitive multiplayer games
-Text based RPGs okay as long as they aren't just one storyline and then you're done.
-Something that isn't embarrassing to be playing in front of the family lol

-Top Genres: Catch Em Alls, Gatcha, Management, RPG

In terms of genre, I really like fantasy and sci fi RPGs. Played the heck out of all of the big ones like Skyrim and Baldurs Gate and Mass Effect and all those. My "real" game addictions are Path of Exile, Diablo IV, Runescape, Honkai Star Rail. I really enjoy games focusing on creating optimal builds and such and so that's probably more of what I'm looking for since I don't want a bunch of action and controls and people to talk to. I enjoy the complexity of games where I can look up builds and then figure out my own and how to get the best stuff and combinations, but that may be too much "real" gameplay for what we're doing here. But point is, something with a theorycrafting aspect is definitely welcome.

I know there's always the recs of like Slay the Spire and Stardw and I have those on other systems, but that's not really what I'm looking for here. I'm kind of looking for a crack game rather than something that's this big work of art lol.

I know there's a TON of fantasy Idle games, but they all look the same and I have no idea which ones to try or if they're worth it. Every year or two I go on a binge of installing a bunch of stuff, but nothing ever sticks. I did end up playing Raid Shadow Legends for a SUPER long time back in the day, but I don't know if I should go back to that or not honestly.

So show me what you guys got!

i just don't trust it

I'm looking for a real-time strategy mobile game, similar to Clash Royale, that I played around 2016. The game had a blue-colored commander that the player controlled, while the enemy's commander was red. The objective was to kill the enemy general. There were cards with fantasy and futuristic characters, and one of the characters had a similar aesthetic to Jason Voorhees. Additionally, the game included two towers: one that healed the general and another that increased his damage. There was also an egg card that, if left long enough, would hatch into a Godzilla-like character. If it was broken before, a smaller version of Godzilla would appear. I also remember that in the game there was a card that was an explosive mine in the shape of a heart and that was invisible to the opponent's sight. (Sorry for my english,i'm using the Google translator)

I'm a Codm player since 2020 and I've been looking for some games with high graphics and fun to play but with a big player base that isn't genshin impact or wuthering waves

I want to play the game “High Energy Heros” with a controller. I have it for iOS on my iPhone but it does not have built in controller support. Can I buy an android phone and use a controller to play this game? Will an android phone allow me to map controller inputs to touchscreen inputs? If so, what’s the best budget phone to do this? The phone will literally only be used for this game.

Thank you for any advice you give

My friend and I regularly play strategy games together on mobile (like chess or polytopia).

Since we both are sore losers I think it would be best to suggest a switch to a game where we actually have to work together and be nice to another. Preferably something strategic and "short" (10-120 mins). The most important part though is that we can play together online and that it's cooperative!

Does anyone have something in mind? Thanks in advance!

Drop some of you best wallpaper here.. I have attached mine

Let's get to the games:

Turnip Boy Robs a Bank [Game Size: 187 MB] ($5.99)

Genre: Action / Adventure - Offline

Orientation: Landscape

Required Attention: Full

tl;dr review by Alex Sem:

Turnip Boy Robs a Bank is the second title in a series of humorous fast-paced action-adventure games where our talking vegetable travels ever-further down the sleazy criminal path – this time by robbing a bank.

After the ending of the first game, Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, our protagonist now finds himself in the middle of a civil war. This situation doesn’t bother him much, though, as he’s too busy with the idea of robbing a highly secure bank with his new gangster friends.

The bank itself spans across multiple levels full of enemies, loot, and NPCs with quests. We navigate this vast maze in a Zelda-like fashion, gradually defeating powerful bosses and acquiring ways to access previously locked sections.

But there's a catch this time, as our runs are limited to a couple of minutes, after which the place is overrun with security, forcing us to escape with whatever we’ve managed to grab along the way.

Once we get back to the safety of our home base, we may spend our accumulated resources on permanent upgrades, quest-related items, or new weapons, of which we can carry two at a time.

Even though these roguelike elements differentiate the gameplay slightly from the first game, I still enjoyed its fast-paced nature, the exploration aspect, and the wacky vegetable humor that only became weirder here in the sequel – a feat I didn’t think possible.

The touch controls are comfortable, but a Bluetooth controller is still recommended for the very best experience.

Turnip Boy Robs a Bank is a $5.99 premium game without ads or iAPs.

If you like non-stop action and don't mind the silly story, definitely give this game a try.

Crash Dive 2 [Total Game Size: 392 MB] ($9.99)

Genre: Simulation / Strategy - Offline

Orientation: Landscape

Required Attention: Full

tl;dr review by Pixel Explorer:

Crash Dive 2 is a thrilling submarine simulation strategy game set in World War II's Pacific Theater.

Our objective is to conduct combat patrols against the Japanese, with the goal of causing as much damage as possible to their shipping, navy, and supporting infrastructure. And maybe best of all, we’re given free rein across the multiple large open-world maps, which means we can hunt the enemy as we see fit.

The game is played on two levels: below the water, where we stealthy navigate using sea maps and sonar, and above water, in a richly detailed environment where we use our deck gun to strike targets on shore, launch rescue missions, and perform certain types of repairs.

Careful strategizing is required in both levels to correctly plot courses, choose targets, evade enemies when detected, and manage our crew as the submarine sustains damage and casualties.

Apart from well-designed controls that provide a satisfying level of progression during maneuvers, the game also features a challenging AI that is tough to evade on the hardest difficulties.

The gameplay is a balanced mix of relaxation while cruising around searching for targets, and adrenaline-fueled battles and evasive maneuvers that will keep us on the edge of our seats.

Since a combat patrol can easily last from 1 to 1.5 hours depending on the tactics deployed, the game best appeals to wargamers who enjoy drawn-out action with lots of strategic depth.

In my opinion, Crash Dive 2 is the best submarine game currently available on mobile.

Crash Dive 2 is a $9.99 premium game with no ads and two optional DLCs: the Aleutian Islands Expansion for $6.49 and the East Indies Expansion for $6.99.

Exponential Idle [Game Size: 99 MB] (Free)

Genre: Incremental / Simulation - Offline

Orientation: Portrait

Required Attention: Little (idle)

tl;dr review by NimbleThor:

Exponential Idle is a fun and very well-paced math-themed incremental idle game where almost everything can eventually be automated. And don’t worry, you thankfully don’t need to be a math genius to enjoy the game.

Starting as an undergraduate student, our goal is to generate as much money as possible by gradually improving an exponential growth equation and working our way to our doctoral thesis and beyond. While we initially rely on tabbing the screen to make time move faster, we quickly automate this part via various upgrades.

As we earn more money, we can improve the variables of our equation, buy different improvements that speed things up significantly, and even purchase brand new variables.

And when things start to slow down, we can prestige, which resets our progress in exchange for a special currency used for… you guessed it, more upgrades.

Over time, we earn stars from achievements and optional puzzle mini-games, which we can spend on new features, such as automatic variable upgrades, automatic prestige, a “buy all” button, and much more. This is where the game truly starts exponentially speeding up, as our idle progress greatly increases.

The game might seem daunting at first, but it’s very easy to get into. The minimalistic but polished UI helps with that, in part thanks to a simple graph showing our money-earning speed over time.

Exponential Idle monetizes via a single incentivized ad to gain a boost for 2 hours, and a $1.99 iAP to get that boost permanently. I’ve easily been able to enjoy the game for free.

If you like to see numbers go up, you’ll love this game. And especially if you like idle games with an ever-so-slight story element to them. It’s an easy recommendation.

Cyber Quest (Game Size: 283 MB] ($3.99)

Genre: Deck-Building / Roguelike - Offline

Orientation: Portrait + Landscape

Required Attention: Some

tl;dr review by WispyMammoth:

Cyber Quest is a turn-based roguelike deck-builder from the mind behind Conjury. The game immerses us in a cyberpunk “The Warriors”-style universe, where we’re tasked with taking down gangs to bring order back to the city.

After choosing three characters, each with unique cards, weapons, and playstyles, the core gameplay has us engage in three-on-three turn-based battles against gangs.

Combat revolves around our deck of cards, which includes utility, defense, and ranged and melee weapon cards. Utility cards let us switch positions, power up weapons, or gain energy, among other things. Each card costs energy to play, of which we have four per turn, and there are lots of synergies to explore.

The game features twelve battles divided into three sections, each ending in a boss fight. And these bosses truly keep us on our toes with abilities that limit card draws, add timers to turns, or increase their attack when we play specific cards. All of this makes the battles feel very dynamic and engaging.

After each fight, we can visit a randomized shop to spend coins on new cards, healing, implants, or coins for unlocking characters. Boss fights also reward us with implants that grant new abilities, like drawing extra cards or doubling weapon effects.

Once the first difficulty is completed, the real challenge begins, with 11 extra modes that feature unique restrictions or changes. And daily quests with preset teams and challenges add even more replayability.

My main gripe is the lack of an undo button, which makes misplays irreversible. Some might also find the limited healing frustrating, but to me, it adds tension and satisfaction to close wins.

Cyber Quest is a $2.99 premium game.

With its bright retro visuals and funky 80s-inspired music, it’s a must-try for fans of turn-based roguelikes or Conjury.

Inventioneers Full Version (Game Size: 188 MB] ($2.99)

Genre: Puzzle / Physics-Based - Offline

Orientation: Landscape

Required Attention: Some

tl;dr review by Alex Sem:

Inventioneers is a cute physics-based puzzle game where we construct Rube Goldberg chain-reaction machines – peculiar, overcomplicated contraptions that we use to perform mundane tasks.

Each of the game's many colorful levels features a funny creature in need of help, such as a granny looking for ripe apples, a baby that can't fall asleep without its favorite toy, a pirate who has finally found a treasure chest but has no way of opening it, a crocodile waving his marshmallows over an unlit campfire, and so on.

Our goal is to help these creatures by building wacky contraptions using the laws of physics, creative ingenuity, a bit of common sense, and a positive mood that turns this brain-scratching process into an enjoyable experience.

At our disposal is a large variety of objects, ranging from simple boards, springs, pipes, torches, and balloons to more elaborate systems like engines, conveyor belts, cannons, alarm clocks, and so on. We also get to place cute characters that can run, jump, blow an electric fan, burn stuff with a flamethrower, or shoot laser beams from their eyes.

Some of the objects are locked in place when we start the level, while we pick the others from a limited pool and correctly position them so that the puzzle gets solved.

Throughout each level, we can also collect stars that unlock new objects for the game’s Creative mode, which lets us make our own puzzles and share them with the world. Unfortunately, I was not able to connect to the server, so I can't tell how well this works.

Despite that minor issue, if you like ingenious physics puzzle games, the game is great entertainment for the whole family. Inventioneers is a $2.99 premium game, but there’s also a free demo version with a single iAP to unlock the full game.

Great news!

The first Tomb Raider Spin-offs will be on Mobile, by Feral Interactive. It's interesting for me, well, this game was released on PS3, PC, and Xbox 360 by Square Enix. But now this game will be released on Mobile by Feral themselves. The game was ported by Feral and this game is available on Switch alongside the second one as Lara Croft Collection.

The game will be available on mobile on February 27th, 2025. And the game is premium, overall, as i expected.
