I’m moving away from proprietary apps and want to find open-source games on Android that are genuinely good, not just time-killers or kids’ titles.

My criteria:

  • Modern feel and polished experience — something that feels like a real game, not a tech demo

  • Made for adults: deep gameplay, challenge, real progression (any genre welcome — strategy, roguelike, RPG, racing, puzzle…)

I trust actual players over AI-generated lists, so: what open-source game on Android gave you the best experience, and why?

    I just had to go back and check we were talking about the same game. There’s no fight button in the default control scheme, you just bump into the thing you want to fight, then a popup shows in the middle of the screen to start the fight.

      Ah, I didn’t realize I could just keep bumping into them. I was looking at this Attack button thinking I had to tap that.

        Oh that button! That shows after a battle has started. You can tap anywhere! Just tap tap tap on the screen and and long as it’s not a button you’re tapping on then it will attack.
