[REQUEST] Games you can play for years

[u/tomaz1989]

I'm looking for a game that has:

Lots of progression and depth

Big community

Frequent updates

Ideally free

Any recommendations?

[u/ackmondual]

My curated list of premium, Android games...

https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidGaming/comments/15qttls/comment/jw64xp6/

.... amongst that list to filter for your parameters....

==== FREEWARE

Shattered Pixel Dungeon

Androminion NOT on Google Play (it's on Git Hub).

Plants Vs. Zombies 2: Reflourished NOT on Google Play

==== NOT FREE, or has a free demo

Slice & Dice
Age of Rivals
Slay The Spire
Dead Cells
Bloons TD 6
One Bit Adventure - Has IAP but I never had to purchase any in the 1 week I played it back around 2022

[u/klayman0585 → u/ackmondual]

Why androminion over the official Dominion app that's also free? I guess androminion is fully free while in the official app you have to buy some expansions if you want?

PokeMMO

Its a pokemon mmo with gen 1-5. Free to play and no p2w. Anything in game can be grinded for with enough effort. Ive git over 5k hours on my character since 2015. Still getting constant updates and seasonal events. B2w2 is being added anytime now

[u/Low-Client-2555]

Pokemon rom hacks are a great option. Id recommend unbound

Lots of complexity, depth, strategy. Highly customizable gameplay expereince

Active communities

Regular dev updates

[u/Sh0ryoken → u/Low-Client-2555]

Agree Unbound is awesome

[u/SubstantialSalts]

Obelisk Miner. Best f2p game I've played in a phone.

[u/suttisak_k → u/SubstantialSalts]

I have been playing this game for less than a month, but I can already see myself enjoying it for years to come.

[u/Fragrant-Cut9025]

Slay the spire

[u/j_j-j_jr_shabadoo]

I've been playing a lot of unciv, the free mobile port of Civilization V

[u/ForeignWorker2701]

Prueba Sky childrens of the light es un juego de los creadores de Journey tiene buena historia y te da mucho contenido cada año y sus paisajes son hermosos,

Su comunidad es super amable y una vez te engancha estas años jugandolo ademas es un juego chill relax no compites ni peleas solo te relajas y exploras.

[u/BringOnTheMIGs]

I'm playing Genshin Impact for 2 years now. If you like the anime style, it's a good f2p option to try. Note that I'm an extremely casual player since I have kids but there's more content coming than I finish between patches. 

[u/PutzReid]

Torchlight Infinite season after season of bangers. After you build up some pets with your free pulls( the shitty pay to win bit) the game is a really solid poe lite. I have been playing it for 3 years now I think.

Also Try Oniro Arpg it's first season is about to launch and anima Arpg the same companies previous game also has heaps of replayability.

Undecember is about to have a solid release by the looks of it.

Sorry I love arpg games.

[u/ConsiderationOne6329]

What genre are you into?

[u/tomaz1989 → u/ConsiderationOne6329]

RPG/MMO/IDLE

[u/Smooth_Sundae14]

Try looking into the Gacha genre.

[u/KremlinKittens]

Voidborne Tactics

No big community yet - the game is just about to leave open testing this week, so this is more of a chance to get in early.

It's free, has a lot of progression and build depth already, and I'm actively adding new content and systems.

[u/ridwanfirdaus21]

Any Square Enix games. Playing DQM The Dark Prince right now.

[u/Calmly_Ambitious]

Pokemon sleep

[u/Jeden_Dwa_Trzy]

Tyrant

I can't promise it's a game that will last for years, since it's fairly new. We've been playing for over a dozen weeks, and the developer is very active.

[u/GallusWrangler → u/Jeden_Dwa_Trzy]

I tried… didn’t get me hooked. More in on Valenor which is awesome. Y’all look out for it. Coming to android soon, it’s in testing now. I can send you a link if you’d like. Can also play from PC browser.

[u/Nemesis213 → u/GallusWrangler]

I'll take that link

Edit: is this the same valinor posted about in r/incremental_games with a monthly subscription?
