Organ Trail is a lot of fun. It's clever even by spoof standards, and still has enough differences that it doesn't feel like a rehash of the Oregon Trail.

Knights of Pen & Paper is a very fun and fairly polished, but fairly short RPG.
That looks interesting, any good ?
Anyone know of a decent old school dungeon crawler ?
Knights is really fun and short as already stated. That said, it does warrant a second or third play through, though. First time around you will unlock new classes that will give the second play through a new dynamic. The devs have stated that they are working on an expansion for the primary campaign that should be out in February or shortly after. Also, there is a very, very short arena style second campaign.

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
I hope my old man gets the Samsung Galaxy Note II phone he's been eyeing on so I can download Zenonia 5.
Neuroshima Hex is a great little board game. Its strategic and a real brain burner, but also very action-packed in short bursts. I really like the flow of the game, but they've yet to add multiplayer other than hotseat and who knows if they'll ever get around to it. Not a big fan of Organ Trail, but I'm not a fan of Oregon Trail.
Agreed - had a lot of fun with Neuroshima.
Another really fun board game is Elder Sign: Omens

Probably talked to death already, but I'm really enjoying Ingress. Although it's making me walk 3 hours per day and arrive to work and home like a couple of hours later, and making me go to places I had never visited before (like cemeteries, museums, etc), it got its own appeal, made me meet lots of people and learned quite a lot about several places around here. A pity the real application, Trip Field, isn't available locally, could learn a lot more otherwise.
Started playing two weeks ago, and leveled up to level 5 in that time. And had several interesting experiences so far, including a couple of battles with others. It's a hit or miss, though, you either love it or hate it. The puzzles themselves are awfully interesting, but when they are released I'm usually still at work, so I can't decode them.

Thanks to the people who recommended Dungelot. It's a really fun game. I played the free version for about 20 minutes and bought the paid version. I've put a few fun hours into it already.

Check out the game Little Things. Its such a simple game and I thought nothing of it, but after I got it and I started playing it, I got hooked. Its like a seek and find game.

Just noticed that the back catalogue's also on sale, there. Any of them worthwhile? I can't help but feel that they might all merge into one after a while!

I second this game. Only had a chance to play for about 5 minutes, but a very fun game.
(so, er, i have a game idea, call it a social experiment
step 1: make a game, lets say, platformer, its free, no ads
step 2: said game is easy, ie you just run left for 5 minutes, and you win the level
step 3: make IAP's available which increase the games difficulty and content, 10p IAP adds platforms, 10p adds enemies, 10p adds powerups, etc etc, you get the jist
step 4: these IAPs are level specific, so need to buy for each level, and each level varies wildly, but each of these levels is a good size.
step 5: profit?
i for one would be interested in seeing if people actually went for this, are mobile gamers this stupid? are mobile gamers really so disconnected from spending money of pointless stuff?

Zookeeper Battle already beat you to it! Ridiculous IAP on that one! People must be paying for stuff as nearly everyone I play against has achieved some of the ingame items.

The International version of Demons' Score on iOS does this AND charges for the game in the first place.
The Android version doesn't seem to have the same pricing structure (charges more for the base game in exchange for no content IAP) but only works on Tegra devices. Not sure if that's a good tradeoff.

So the amazon free app of the day (in the UK anyway) is pigment
It's a bit like flow, but the twist is if you overlap lines, they make new colours, so red+blue = purple, etc.
I'm convinced the game is broken, though. If you go over an orange line with yellow, for example, the line becomes orange. I'm sure that's not supposed to happen.
Still, it's pretty good fun.

This is why I avoid free mobile games in general. No clue why people like to lap this shit up.
IAP will be the death of mobile gaming and set a horrible precedence.

Just completed NFS MW. And by complete I mean 100 percented each racetrack. Awesome game, but I don't think I have it in me to grind for millions of dollars for all the exotic and NFS edition of cars.

DungeonDiary is a lot of fun! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.windbellrrr.app.dungeondiary&hl=en
I downloaded it randomly and I had no idea what I was doing at first. It's a dungeon crawler, but it's a little different. How it works is that you equip your little character and set her AI up with certain conditional logic rules. Then you pick a quest and set her off on her own in the dungeon, which she plays through automatically, following the rules you set up. Then she comes back, you identify your loot and upgrade your items, and you go back at it again. The dungeon crawling can be backgrounded, which lets you interact minimally with the game and still crawl through long Shiren-style dungeons. That bit is genius. And you get a widget to put on your homescreen with your character's current equipment.
You can customize your equipment with stat-ups and different colors. There's a lot of different kinds of equipment (shirts, pants, soup ladles, tennis rackets, shoes, socks, underwear...) that all affect different stats.
It's SO addictive. As far as I can tell, it was all made by one guy, and the translation is Kawaiikochans-level hilarity. But the writing does have a great sense of humor, and there's a good amount of variety for a free game. I've seen a couple of realmoney options in the game, one for a pack of stat-up items and one for a pack of any-color modifiers, but I don't see these as being necessary at all.

Grabbing this, thanks!
Kinda wish we had new OP or an updated OP. Or that NeoGAF would have some way of having other people (non-mods) be able to edit OPs.
Edit: Holy shit, you weren't kidding about the granslation.

Post your DungeonDiary characters!
I'm making good progress. My debt's at about $26.5m, and I've made it to the sixth? area (Volcano Cave). I'll start an OT if there's interest.

Downloaded Seed 2: Vortex of War which looked good. Problem is damn thing just keeps saying I'm offline and it can't connect. Uh, yeah, whatever. I am connected, trying both the wifi and 4G. Gotta love these games you can only play online.

This is a good game. I know iOS has more games, but I honestly never have had a shortage of games on Android (not even including SNES emulator) There have been some random good games I've found in the past with not many downloads (should have remember posted them here).
I'm gonna by Bard's Tale some time as that is apparently the best RPG. I know there are other good action RPGs like Inotia 4. I'm also going to try out Royal Revolt! and Space Keeper.
EDIT: Ok, Space Keeper is a pretty damn good game!:

All these great games. Android-GAF is not doing a good job of keeping up with games... Why hasn't anyone mentioned Royal Revolt yet? It's like a higher quality more hectic Plants War (DoTA style game). Probably one of the best Android games I've played. Up with there with some other games I've enjoyed like NFS: Most Wanted, Ski Safari, Dead Trigger, Virtua Tennis, World of Goo, Major Mayhem, Granny Smith, Strikefleet Omega, Battleheart, Super Stickman Golf..
And here's another good looking Action RPG:
League of Heroes: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gamelion.loh
It smells of freemium though.. but still people seem to like it. It has a good art style and nice music. The controls are simple and the game is polished.

I highly recommend Knights and McPixel. Both are brilliant games. Neuroshima is also a really cool game.
Anyone played Lords of Midnight yet? Apparently its a port of this 1984 ZX Spectrum/C64/CPC game. Just got it a few days ago and it's really interesting so far, there's even an accompanying book that sets up the characters and lore.
Also, Anomaly. This game looks really, REALLY strange. 15 voice actors (some of them actually good?), '1500 panels of art and animation', and all these other bullet points. Did anyone else know about this... slightly gamey graphic novel?
Hello Android users,
This was the most robust Android-related thread I could find, so forgive me if this query seems out of place...
My company works out of Japan, and is asking for information on the best Android phone model for gaming. I'd be using it to test/play a variety of games and it would probably come in handy for overseas business as well, so decent roaming support would be ideal.
- Is there a definitive go-to phone for mobile gamers on Android these days?
- Do some have more advanced roaming/overseas features than others?
- I will be "managing" this device, so bronus points for it being cool and responsive.
I'm still a feature phone user myself, so I have absolutely no idea about these things. I'll be doing some searching around, but I trust GAF as a source of gaming knowledge so if anyone can point me in the right direction, it'd be much appreciated.
Thanks!

I bought Predators. Fun hack and slash. Get to kill humans, combos are sorta hard because of the touch screen but still manageable. Only a dollar.

Besides my issues with screen size (4" is my absolute maximum and the Nexus 4 is a little larger than that), the apparent lack of LTE was a dealbreaker for me.
I personally use an HTC Incredible 4G LTE (Fireball), but lately it seems the Galaxy S3/Note 2 is the go-to for people with sasquatch hands.

Temple Run 2 is dope as hell, but the ground is too busy. I don't know what is just design and what will actually hit me yet.
Also, movement doesn't seem as responsive as 1. In 1 you could immediately slide out of a jump, whereas here it seems delayed a bit.
Hopefully they'll fix that, one of the great joys of 1 was that the controls were so tight that you felt directly jacked-in if you were in the zone.

I feel like getting used to it is the biggest hurdle. I haven't spent enough time with it to say for sure, but so far I'm really enjoying it.
