This is so good that I bought it in iOS
I've enjoyed ports from PC games and emulation. Emulation is pretty good on android now, and that opens up a LOT of options for offline & no ads
You are absolutely correct! Only downside is it kind of sucks trying to control with onscreen controller. I suppose I'd better learn to share my bluetooth gamepad ;p
This is when Nintendo ds games and searching out games that had only stylus controls comes in handy. Stuff like Kirby Mass Attack or Warioware feel like native games. If you got a Samsung with a Spen then that's a dream combo.

Unciv is a decent Civilization clone. And it's open source.
Seconded! The top mods are worth checking out, too.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon
Mindustry
Seconding SPD. Of all Android games, I think I've wasted the biggest part of my life on that one. An extremely well balanced and fair roguelike, even if that sounds contradictory.
+1 for Mindustry
Almost every paid Kairosoft games?
Cannot agree with this enough. Kairosoft games SLAP yo.

Terraria
Slay the Spire is a heavy recommendation from me, though it does have online sync it works nicely offline.

Supertuxkart
Nice! The OG.
If you like American football, big recommend for Retro Bowl - as the name suggests, it's an old-school arcade/NES style game heavily inspired by Tecmo Bowl. Plays really well on mobile, and has a small premium charge to permanently unlock some nice extra features (e.g. roster customisation).
+1 for RB
I'm completely addicted (I'm in season 90 or so); it's my go-to when I've just got a few minutes for a game. I think it's one of the best games on mobile.
Simon Tatham's puzzle collection is my fallback game for whenever I don't have internet or am bored with whatever other game I'm playing
Dead Cells & Titan Quest. Both are amazing games, work totally offline, no ads.

- Any Playdigious games is good.
- Any Kairosoft games.
- ICEY is such an underrated game. The narration and it's wit is so good.
- Levelhead if you want platformer and want Super Mario Maker on your phone.
- Limbo
My goto for offline gaming is usually emulation, typically pokemon. But I can also recommend the Bart Bonte puzzle games, Vampire Survivor and Shattered Pixel Dungeon.

If the game does not need online features, then you can make any game "ad free" with an app like "NetGuard". Just block the app from accessing the internet.

Shattered pixel dungeon if you like roguelikes; it's on the play store and fdroid
Found an old archive so I'm going to ad to the thread myself:
Alto's Adventure and Alto's Odyssey both definitely work offline, but I'm not sure about them trying to serve you advertisements.
I also used to have a considerable library of emulated games on my phone and would use a bluetooth gamepad. I should probably go back down this road I think! I'd imagine emulation has come a long way since I was mucking around with it.
Mindustry and Unciv are my main recommendations. If you like strategy stuff, you'll have a blast.
On this topic I wish there was a definitive place to find Android games that have controller support. No microtransactions.. I will have to download and try again first and then 90% of the time it doesn't meet my criteria for playable.

Unciv and Shattered Pixel Dungeon have been on my Phone forever. Both available on FDroid.
Battle for Wesnoth is cool once you get used to the weird controls
I believe Kotor 1 doesn't require a connection to play, and it's more of a tactical game, so it's not as annoying to play on a touch screen.
Yioto is a great indie dev with lots of gems, but if particularly recommend Antiyoy.
I'd also recommend Battle for Polytopia.
I'm fairly certain both these turn based strategy games will work fine offline.
Slay the Spire is a heavy recommendation from me, though it does have online sync I'm pretty sure it works offline...
every game is ad free is you use pi-hole
Yeah but I'm all over the adblocking front at home. This is specifically for when we travel waaay out of civilisation but my kids still want to play some games. Pretty annoying that most of them don't work at all.
Not interested in packing the starlink dish for this purpose, I go out there to disconnect, that's kind of the goal.
I don't play on mobile but I can recommend;
- Baldur's Gate
- Sudoku
- Devilution X
- RVGL
- Moonshades
Unciv and Mindustry, both which are also free, on fdroid, and open-source.
Can recommend Oxenfree and Kentucky Route Zero. They are tied to a Netflix subscription on mobile though (on the other hand, if you already have Netflix, they’re free).
Besides that, Monument Valley 1 and 2 are amazing games. And The Room series is also very entertaining.
I also would recommend Broken age and Life is Strange but they seem to not be on the Google Play Store anymore…
