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.

I've enjoyed ports from PC games and emulation. Emulation is pretty good on android now, and that opens up a LOT of options for offline & no ads

You are absolutely correct! Only downside is it kind of sucks trying to control with onscreen controller. I suppose I'd better learn to share my bluetooth gamepad ;p

Got an 8BitDo controller off Amazon, you can get a little clip for it that holds your phone. Best $20 ever. Kinda heavy to be gaming on the go but in bed it's great

This is when Nintendo ds games and searching out games that had only stylus controls comes in handy. Stuff like Kirby Mass Attack or Warioware feel like native games. If you got a Samsung with a Spen then that's a dream combo.

Pokemon is really good to emulate on phones. Very slow games!
