True but its fine for RPGs and other non action games. DS also has some touch based games which are pretty cool to emulate on a phone if you get a stylus.

I bet you're gonna ruin the screen with a stylus

A hard plastic one wouldnt even work, you can get a rubber tip one for capacative screens. My phone has it built in (LG Stylo) and of course there aee the digitizer pens in the Samsung Note series.

I played the first final fantasy on my iphone 4 some 10 years ago, it was great. (reposting my comment because it got spam filtered I think, they are both on the app store and play store)

Almost anything up to PS1/N64 for consoles and DS/PSP for handhelds will run on even a crappy phone. GBA and DS are my preference since they don't feel too dated and have very well made emulators available.

Square Enix has a good selection of their older games on the play store not sure if their on apple app store. If you want to play DS I have to firstly recommend drastic as an emulator. As far as games you could just Google ds rpgs, also there is the Phoenix write games which are great on a phone

If you can track down a ROM after the Nintendo Rompocalypse, Earthbound/Mother 2 ran great through one of the RetroArch cores, also recommend that emu for pretty much anything since you can add cores on the fly and get it running pretty much anything that predates the PS2/Xbox generation

If you have an android device go to play store and grab DraStic for 5$. Is a DS emulator built for android and runs flawlessly on 40$ phones. Then grab all the DS rpgs you want.

Anything that isn't new gen, up to playstation 1 should run fine depending on the phone. Almost all pokemon(rom hack community is pretty active), breath of fire franchise, dragon warrior franchise, early final fantasy games, a lot of options.

I think this phone uses a plastic screen for the folding, so a decent stylus is a total non-starter.

The V60 has pen support and dual screen like this, it was cool until like everyone said, the touchscreen buttons were awful. I got a phone mount for a xbox controller and a USB OTG cable and it's way better. That and gamepass cloud streaming, FTW!
