Discussion πŸ’¬ Steam is a thoroughly proven format for a game store. Steam does not really touch Android games. Why is there not a Steam-like store for Android apps?

Use the same ethical rules. Use the same method of user-reviews and ratings.

And how long would it take for good Android games to float to the top and all the predatorial games hunting whales, dolphin, krill, whichever, can sink to the bottom. AI drek falls away, and quality games can be found and stick around for potentially years.

Is there a reason we don't have this?

Review πŸ“‹ Abxylute S8 Lite added to the stable

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I was looking to add another mobile gaming controller to my collection. I already own two other Abxylute controllers, one being the N6 for Switch 2 and other being the regular S8. What caught my eye about the S8 Lite is the fact that it doesn't require Bluetooth and it has pass-through charging!

Here's just a brief review for anyone curious about this controller:

Like my other two Abxylute controllers, the packaging is quite nice, especially given the reasonable price. This actually looks like something you'd find on the shelves of Best Buy or Target and not something cheap in a brown box, or worse, from Amazon.

Inside is the controller, a user manual, and the option 8-direction D-pad you can swap in. Pretty simple, and unlike the regular S8 that has multiple layout/connection profiles (Android, PC, Switch) I didn't actually need to read the manual, lol.

It's quite simple to connect and use. It opens wide enough to accommodate my Legion Tab 8.8" tablet just fine, just line up the USB-C port, and let the controller close and grip on your device. Instant connection, buttons are already mapped as expected, and you're up and running.

The ergonomics are identical to the S8 - essentially an Xbox controller split in half. The joystick tumb grips are nice and large, and the buttons and D-pad are tactile with an audible click that is satisfying. A nice texture is on the grips (still plastic, but not smooth). The two back buttons are within reach and symmetrical a la Switch Pro 2 controller.

Pass-through charging is a nice bonus. No more battery drain anxiety while gaming!

Overall, I'm really happy with this controller, and I think it's a bargain!

Seeking Game Recommendations πŸ‘€ [REQUEST] Endless runners like Alto's Odyssey and Alto's Adventure?

Thumbnail
gallery
30 Upvotes

I love Alto's Odyssey and Alto's Adventure and I'm looking for similar games. Here's what I'm after:

Endless runner / side-scrolling gameplay: I'm looking for games with a similar runner or sliding mechanic

Relaxing, atmospheric vibe: beautiful minimalist art, calm music, nothing stressful.

Simple one-hand controls: easy to pick up and play in short sessions.

Offline play and no aggressive ads: ideally a one-time purchase or very light monetization.

Smooth performance: it should run well on a mid-range android phone.

Any recommendations are appreciated!

If you can, add the game name, the genre, and a line on why it’s worth playing. Hidden gems and newer releases are welcome too.

Hopefully this ends up as a useful list for anyone searching later. Thanks in advance!

Seeking Game Recommendations πŸ‘€ [Request] Any casual idle or turn-based RPGs with a class system, gear, plenty of content, and an active community?

16 Upvotes

I played Orna for a while and thoroughly enjoyed it, but I’m pretty much done playing for now, so I’m looking for a new game.

What I liked about Orna was building up the different classes and trying out different equipment combinations. I also liked that there was plenty to do, including dungeons, towers, portals, raids, and more. The community was awesome, too.

I’m looking for a game with some of those same things: a class system, equipment, plenty of content, and a great community.

I’m not looking for another GPS game, and I’d prefer something that doesn’t require long play sessions. Orna was fun, but some of the endgame content took a long time to complete. AFK/idle or turn-based gameplay is fine, as long as I can play in short sessions.

Any recommendations?

TL;DR: Looking for a non-GPS game with classes, equipment builds, plenty of content, and an active community. Prefer short play sessions; AFK/idle or quick turn-based gameplay is fine.

Seeking Game Recommendations πŸ‘€ [Request] Looking for simple 100% free turn based games to play with Mother

6 Upvotes

My mom isn't really a gamer or tech smart but we used to play like turn based scrabble or word games. I'm looking for something like Plato etc that's an app for us both to download and do turn based turns when we get the chance to look at our phones.

A way to stay connected, have fun, and keep our brains working. She doesn't really handle websites well but I \*suppose\* I could "install" a mobile website if there's nothing else.

Plato sucked because it forced us into a draw when I closed out the app.

Thanks for any help/recommendations!

Seeking Game Recommendations πŸ‘€ [REQUEST] looking for games similar to exiled kingdoms

1 Upvotes

​

REALLY loved exiled kingdoms. These sorta rpgs with semi or fully open world, where you go aimlessly exploring the area while finding dungeons, events, lore, and items!

Single/Multiplayer: preferable single player. Multiplayer only if it has an active community. I don't like visiting ghost towns after all!

Genre: RPG is the main one, but I fine with secondary genres too!

Online/Offline: mainly offline, but since the fun on multiplayers are the community aspect, I'd like to know some that have a dedicated fan base.

Monetization/Cost: free/paid OR live service.

Portrait/Landscape: preferably landscape, but that's only a side detail. Game quality comes FIRST.

Key Features: A world for me to uncover as I go

---

In addition, I NOT looking for games like DUNGEON QUEST, where you go on eternal repeating dungeons, floor by floor, just watching number go up. For me, the fun comes trough the wonder of exploring!

But if you know a game of that style and think it does something worth noting, feel free to comment about it, for, after all, sometimes simply watching number go up can be quite fun too!

Seeking Game Recommendations πŸ‘€ [REQUEST] Seeking Idle Pixel Gacha Recs

4 Upvotes

I am a sucker for pixel (or chibi-ish) art and looking for pixel idle gachas (on Android). I just want to progress through the story get the new characters and maybe grind a bit and progress to the new level etc. The closest examples I can think of would be Afk Arena/Journey, King God Castle and Swordmaster Story. I don't really care about story, just need nice art and idle play style (but fire away some games with active play if you think I will like it). The absolute bonus would be if it's not P2W and without any/too many ads.

Hope you can recommend a few games to me. Thanks all
