I'm moving away from proprietary apps and want to find open-source games on Android that are genuinely good, not just time-killers or kids' titles.

My criteria:

  • Modern feel and polished experience — something that feels like a real game, not a tech demo

  • Made for adults: deep gameplay, challenge, real progression (any genre welcome — strategy, roguelike, RPG, racing, puzzle...)

I trust actual players over AI-generated lists, so: what open-source game on Android gave you the best experience, and why?

There's a part of my brain that actually prefers Unciv. There's something very satisfying about mixing complex gameplay and simpler graphics (to me)

    Yeah, same actually. The simpler graphics make it easier to understand what's going on, I find.

    And it just uses less system resources, which is good for battery life and being able to keep it running in the background.
