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.

    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…

    Yioto is a great indie dev with lots of gems, but I particularly recommend Antiyoy.

    I’d also recommend Battle for Polytopia.

    I’m fairly certain both these turn based strategy games will work fine offline.

    Slay the Spire is a heavy recommendation from me, though it does have online sync it works nicely offline.

    My goto for offline gaming is usually emulation, typically pokemon. But I can also recommend the Bart Bonte puzzle games, Vampire Survivor and Shattered Pixel Dungeon.

      +1 for emulation, especially games you never got a chance to play before when they were new

      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.

    The Layton games - the DS games have been ported to Android and totally slap. As someone who never had a DS, I’m enjoying this era of the games coming to Android and being playable here.
