Any free RPGs or other games with good controls (not a fan of virtual pads) that can be played offline?
I've been playing a couple or downloading them and trying them, so this is what I've found. Granted they're not all RPGs because I like some puzzle games too.
Merchant has been stealing a lot more of my time than I'd like to admit. I'm still pretty early and not devoting too much time to it despite what I said above, but it's very easy to check something and spend about ten minutes setting up actions and so on.
Inflation RPG is just a weird game. You wander around a field area with boundaries set up describing what enemy levels are at, and you get into random encounters that play out automatically and you level a whole bunch--and then you get to allocate stats so there's some strategy here. You're given a number of fights to get as high a level as you can, and then you start over but not before using the gold you amassed to buy items and other upgrades for the next toon.
I also tried the above dev's Tower of Hero. It's pretty much a clicker game but it's at least structured differently. There's a tower that grows as your manually-summoned heroes and the auto-summoned soldiers spawn and kill monsters and climb up, and you use the gold they drop to power everyone up and get upgrades to set the spawn point up further in the tower. Somewhat interesting since monsters respawn and they can impede your allies, but I didn't keep it. I put enough time in Clicker Heroes on PC, though the change in how this is played was nice.
Another clicker was Automatic RPG. It seems kinda silly but it's an okay time waster. No nags or anything so that's cool. Tower of Hero and this game seem to have sprites from another game or another resource--I'd like to find where they came from. Deck de Dungeon seems to use some too.
I've been playing The First Tactics Free off and on. Strategy RPG, basic presentation, horrid translation though. There seems to be an energy system but I didn't play enough for it to be an issue, and so far it hasn't bombed me with ads (but I'm playing an older version so maybe...).
I've also been working with /u/polytopey to get their Raid Tactics to work on my phone since it seems up my alley, but my phone won't have any of it. Amusingly enough, my tablet from 2011 runs it no problem apart from being extremely slow. Tech just has to be difficult, huh.
I've briefly dipped my toes into Gacha World, surprised that it actually is offline. It seemed all right, but it was incredibly laggy at points.
I got The Enchanted Cave for free a long time ago and only just now got around to it. Rogue-like, part of the strategy seems to be picking your fights since monsters don't move (so far), so it's a question of saving up your health or taking on a monster for the chest they're guarding.
Literally today just tried out Age of Strategy and Age of Fantasy. There look to be a lot of maps and while it's turn-based, you generate units ala Advance Wars I guess? Which I never really played. We'll see how those go too.
For non-RPGs...
I tried Delight Games (full library) out for a couple of pages. I like how they mention that playing offline gives you ad-free, and while you have access to all of the books of the paid version as far as I can tell, you have to go through the series from the beginning and score well enough to advance to the next. We'll see if I have any issues with that.
Ambar's Fate is another gamebook RPG thingy. I got a few pages into it the other day, but it's just one story it looks like.
I ended up playing more of Transmission than I wanted to for a first look. Connect nodes to complete the missions, but they gradually add new rules and then start adding additional mission-clear starts, so that's cool. Some of them get a bit tricky and I'm only on the third world!
I did a little bit of ColorHex last night. There are two modes, and both of them have you fill the board in the requested pattern. In swap mode, coloring panels replaces the prior ones, but mix mode mixes the colors together. It looks hard.
I honestly got Simon Tatham's Puzzles just for the network game (rotate tiles to connect all nodes to the power station). There's more there, but yeah.
As for other games I've had before...
Galaxy Hero is an RPG crossed with a shmup, though not the danmaku/bullet hell of today. It's sorta like the older games, like Raptor Call of the Shadows or Tyrian (even taking sprites from the latter), and it's pretty ugly/basic-looking and unfinished but there's still quite a bit there. I like it.
Doctor Who Legacy is a Puzzle and Dragons alike (I think) but at least there's no stamina and you can play offline. The devs added ads to the game some time ago, though they only come up after finishing a mission. You don't need to know anything about the show to enjoy this, though it seems pretty grindy. Not a fan of how purchases on one device don't transfer over, but that's probably the norm.
Match 3 Quest is another one I used to play on my tablet a long time ago, and it still seems nice. It plays a bit closer to Puzzle Quest than PvZ, though you still have separate team members who can be targeted and everyone has a special attack that automatically activates when you match gems matching their color. It's only asked me to download data once but we'll see if it asks again. There's a small nag to get your friends playing too but it so far hasn't gotten in the way. Much faster-paced than DWL.
And I keep Puzzle Wars on hand even if I don't play it much. It's yet another gem-matching game, but it seems to focus more on building combos with falling gems than trying to get more than three pieces matched like in the above two. There's equipment and spells, but I remember the translation/story was kinda okay.
ChuChu Rocket was pulled from all stores but I keep the version I bought from Amazon on my phone. I never got to play the Dreamcast original, but Puzzle here was pretty nice. You have a limited number of arrows to use to guide the mice to the rockets, without letting a single mouse die to a hole or a wandering cat (or let the cat on the rocket because seriously). There were a bunch of maps and some of them were damned hard to figure out too. Really wish Sega would make a sequel and have a stage builder feature or something.
...uh, anyway, that's my contribution?
Hi all!
​
Arithmagic has been on the Android store for a little while, getting a few sales here and there. However, I was still getting store visitors, so I decided to try and make the most of that by revamping the old trailer which I had originally commissioned my artist to make. Right now I'm running a sale along with an AB test on the Google Play Store to see if the new trailer really is better than the original. Let me know what you think!
​
To make the trailer, I used OBS Studio to record gameplay in Unity at 1920x1080 for the "walk through forest scene". The gameplay was recorded at 608x1080 so it would appear high-quality in the video. I then used Da Vinci Resolve to cut all the shots together to the music, insert text, and create transitions. The music I bought in a Humble Bundle some time ago when I was originally preparing to launch the game; it's the same music that we used for our old trailer.
​
If you're interested in the game, here are the store links:
​
Google Play
Amazon

Follow me at @gooblegames for more info!
> No IAP - Threes is a complete experience the moment you download it
Sold.
Also on the Amazon App Store for the same price, if you want to pay with all those free coins you've accumulated.
I've converted the list to the uk amazon (just changed .com to .co.uk). I hope this works.

Sorry about that. They seem to have changed the link to a mobile one. It was working earlier when I grabbed them, and I double checked the reddit submission when I posted too, but now I have the same problem as you. Try just the individual pages, they're still free:

I highly recommend installing the Amazon Appstore for Android. and taking advantage of their daily Free App Of The Day. Today's free app is a game called Montezuma Puzzle Premium, and has about 11 hours left before the giveaway is over.

Humble Bundle's new Mobile Bundle gives you drm-free android games. Humble Bundle allows multiple ways to download - http, torrent, and via an app you can download from the play store. Does not require an account, I think, however it's a good idea to create one anyways, and you can enable TFA if you're worried about people stealing your games.
Do you like sega games? Currently the Humble Sega Mobile Bundle has slightly under 2 days left, and has 3-9 sega games, depending how much you pay. If you've bought android or mobile bundles from them in the past, those games will show up in the app as well.

OP can reply here if he's interested in an unused gift copy of Humble Bundle With Android 5 (an older bundle) that I've got lying around. Contains Super Hexagon, Dungeon Defenders, Beat Hazard Ultra, Dynamite Jack, Solar 2, and NightSky HD.
I've read that Monument Valley is a good puzzle game. Free on Amazon Underground.
Hitman GO, Lara Croft GO, and Deus Ex GO are also good puzzle games from Square Enix Montreal. All three are also free on Amazon Underground.
And to round out the puzzle section, The Room is a
pretty fun puzzle series of Rube Goldberg-like contraptions with a bit of mysterious lore. The first one is free on Amazon Underground, the second and third game will cost you.
I'm having a bit of fun with a weeb FTP TCG called Shadowverse. It did launch on Android/iOS first.
Steve Jackson's Sorcery! series is an engrossing choose your own adventure game with actually good writing. Sorcery! and Sorcery! 2 are free on Amazon Underground. Parts 3 and 4 are $5 each.
This submission is being removed as the name of the game should be in the title and the amazon store page should be linked to directly.
Project Title: Tac-Tic
Promotion: Purchase! (or at the very least check it out)
My Name: Peter Sheehan
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eNhVc88Q2E
Buy on iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tac-tic/id1120838083?ls=1&mt=8
Buy on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.secondgames.TacTic&hl=en
Buy on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/006-Second-Games-Tac-Tic/dp/B01GJ3AHXG?ie=UTF8&keywords=Tac-Tic&qid=1465487040&ref_=sr_1_1&s=mobile-apps&sr=1-1
But wait... one more??: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/games/tac-tic/9nblggh4ws38
So Tac-Tic advertises itself as an anti-match3 puzzle game and the single-player, Sudoku-style opposite of Tic-Tac-Toe. It's a puzzle game in which players have to solve 144 levels of escalating difficulty. The goal of each level is to fill up all blank tiles on the screen with Xs or Os (which every turn get placed in an alternating fashion, like regular Tic-Tac-Toe). Fill up all blank tiles and you beat the level, but the catch is you can't have placed 3 Xs or Os in a row, column, or diagonal. If you do this, your error flashes red and the level restarts. Basically, every level's goal is to play traditional Tic-Tac-Toe with yourself and get a draw.
If that at all sounds of interest to you, click on that YouTube trailer! And if that gets your attention, then you should buy it! It's only $0.99 for all platforms.
Thanks for reading!
Project title - Thermometers Puzzles
It's a puzzle game with inspirations from picross/nonograms, battleships and sudoku. It's been released a few weeks ago and so far the feedback is very good, with a 4.72/5 rating on Google Play with 866 ratings. The game is a free download, without ads and 260 free levels. After that, players can purchase more levels packs.
I also released a sales stats recently but I should update it with latest numbers.
If you have feedback (positive and negative), I'm interested!

Not even this?
You can probably see it to buy it if you go through the Amazon appstore. I can't see it on the Play Store on my Note II, but have been able to see it on Amazon for a couple months now for $.99
Edit: Link to Amazon
It's a mobile game, btw. There is a free version with ads, but honestly, the paid game is easily worth the three bucks. If you have an Android and the Amazon App Store it's only $1.99 there
The name of the app is "Puzzle & Dragons (Kindle Tablet Edition)"
https://www.amazon.com/Puzzle-Dragons-Kindle-Tablet-Edition/dp/B00KPTKW8G/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_img_5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=8G3F9H1QNQ8QE63CNC7C
You can't even install in on the Amazon Fire phones.
That's the JP version page. I see this message on the right where the download button should be:
> You are not eligible to purchase this app due to geographical restrictions.
It also doesn't show up on my search results.
Here's the NA version: https://www.amazon.com/Puzzle-Dragons-Kindle-Tablet-Edition/dp/B00KPTKW8G/
Still 9.1.0.
