Not much love for android gaming on this forum

[Mnementh]

Hmm, I actually tried gaming as I got an android device. But most games are oversimplicistic or setting timing stuff against you, which you can overcome by paying. So mostly it is waiting long enough that get's you depper in the game.

As I said most games are oversimplified, some games are still quite good, buit nothing could pierce my top50 of the greatest game event. The notable games are for me: Fallout Shelter, Hearthstone, Devil's and Demons and Ingress.

Fallout Shelter can be fun, but some of the mechanics can be annoying at times. Random events in hard can just destroy half your shelter, even if you're prepare as much as possible. Some of the mechanics look like simple time-locks.

Hearthstone works at what it does. I played the Trading Card system Magic the Gathering (with real cards) and Hearthstone is pretty much this. Such gameplay is practically made for mobile touch-devices. That's the most recommendable game from my perspective. It has not too much single player content though (and most of that isn't free to play but has to be bought).

Devil's and Demons has pretty good gameplay as round-based tactical game and again this works. I actually hoped Fire Emblem Heroes would be like that, but FE:H is simplified beyond recognition. Devil's and Demons provide the better FE-like gameplay on mobile touch-devices. But a big problem remains: The character development isn't fleshed out pretty good. Also ads are sunk too deep in the game. I actually would pay to make it ad-free, but haven't the option. I don't pay for double XP.

Ingress has good location based strategy gameplay. The big problem with ingree is, it has too much little problems. Loading world data, unprecise location, too much battery drain and drains too much of my mobile data rate.

I tried South Park Phone Destroyer recently, but while entertaining it is too simple. I can't see I do much difference with my decisions. So it probably will be short-lived fun.

I also just started with Pathfinder Adventures. It might good, but I'm just at the beginning. So far it looks like the board- and card-game Shadowrun Crossfire, which is good. Getting into it is absurdely hard though and the tutorial doesn't really help. But I understood the game and at least it isn't as simplicistic as most phone games. They could've devised a simpler introduction though.
