Many of these are well known in cult circles but maybe you missed the good old Gba and PSX days where games let you play and feel immersed rather than chock full of trailers pre-selling bonys packages before you are even given the chance to demo the game or look up 101 hyoed up reviews. Well look no further than these mobile games! Yeah, they aren't Honkai Star Rail but if you are fan of depth, worth it paid features and special events and don't mind things being turn based and single player friendly, look no further.

Long download times, debatedly dated 2d graphics and a bunch of OP characters you aren't sure are worth paying for but credit where credit is due: ads aren't F2P. Promos are throwbacks to the good old days of legit DLCs rather than today's 7 day random login games and the depth and length is Epic

Graphics seem unappealing at first but this is deeper than any 4x roguelike games on Android. If you pay it stops being a roguelike but then the whole faction opens up. Yeah there's the grand space strategy sequel but this is the game to get if you are on potato smartphones and aren'ta 24 hour gamer

Lots of stealth games that are great time wasters on Android (Hero Hunter, while not a stealth game, exudes great graphics and almost stealth obstacle based time objectives) but until a Tenchu, a blades of the Shogun or Sygnallix (sp?) gets a trilogy, Space Marshals series is both to notch and long

The gameplay is not for everyone but compared to all the other 1984 games on Steam the presentation for this game for a mobile game is top notch. Yeah the game, as played, is annoying but it's a throwback to games like Akuji, Gex and ShadowMan. Not as Action but dark but not quite Soul Reaver lore.

If you are looking for a Bushido Blade/Mortal Kombat hybrid on Android - this may not be it but it comes close. Real close. We're talking about realistic attack styles with that edge of your seat a series of moves can def you and yeah it's not UFC realistic but it mimics staff fighting strat

Every list needs a multiplayer game I guess and PGR is tops. It's not pure console free (it mimics the loot box type gameplay seen in modern hyped games) but if you haven't heard the hype behind this game you should try it. The only reason why it's not 5/5 for me is that it takes a lot of invrstment

Kairosoft games are great in general but this is the grand daddy that started it all and for good reason. It's not free free (there are other Kairosoft games that experimented with those) but unless you list all the Kairosoft games this has to be it.

Lots of great games following these types of defense fortress like the Walking Dead ones and FF ones, my personal fave is Nexus War but this has the most unintrusive skippable intro. Yeah for pure free animal based collection sims the Ants one is probably more unique but this us no slouch either.
