Evening, all.
Looking for recommendations for any Android games that you enjoy which can be played completely offline without a data connection of any sort.
These used to be super common once upon a time, but these days it seems every single game I try just doesn’t function if you are totally out of service area.
Would appreciate any tips! Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Some great suggestions in here! That will keep them busy a while. Thanks so much everyone.
DATA WING, is a great game! Really well made, easy to pick up for a few miniuits and really well scripted!
antimine is a fun and well made minesweeper clone, also its foss
Soul Knight is my go to
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…

Similaritron (seems abandoned, but still works)
Doesn’t work on my phone (made for an older version of android) but it looks like the game “set”, and googling that I found this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nelis.set (haven’t tried it yet but it has the tag “offline” so looks good)
SuperTuxKart I guess? It lets you to play offline, although online mode and add-ons are required internet connection.
The phoenix wright and danganronpa series are both on android ad free.
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.
Witcheye is a good version of flappy bird, as its controlled with only one finger, with extremely difficult platforming.
Supermeat boy forever, great game all around but very difficult.
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
Shattered Pixel Dungeon
Mindustry+1 for 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.
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.
Magic Research It’s an paid offline idle game without ads and a nice progression. Also has a demo. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mcolotto.magicresearchfull
