Recommended Android games that aren't ports from other platforms (PC/Playstation/XBOX/Switch)? Also, no emulated games please

Itching to play games on my phone but the most commonly recommended games here are either emulated/games that I already own on my PC (such as Balatro, Slay the Spire, Stardew Valley, etc.).

So instead, I’m looking for mobile exclusives. Any genre/screen orientation will do. Thanks a lot!

Seconding Afterplace.

I’ll also recommend Mask Around. It’s weird platformer that fully utilizes gyro control.

Bella Wants Blood is a fun tower defense.

I recommend SpaceRPG4 too. A space exploration game.

Dungeon Maker. It’s a bit… horny. But I enjoyed the gameplay.

The Way Home is a good one.

Deep Space D6 is a nice hyper casual roguelike.

The Bonfire 2. A nice settlement builder.

Paign is a super janky but fun rpg

Epic Conquest 2 is also a fun action jrpg.

The Wild Darkness is a challenging survival roguelike.

Edit: I’ll throw in Eldrum: Black Dust for a text rpg recommendation.

Afterplace is fantastic. It’s made for mobile with great mobile controls and portrait gameplay.

It does get ported to steam but it is released in mobile first and imo plays much better in mobile.

To be fair I find it a weird restriction that it has to be a mobile exclusive.

I can understand that. If someone asked for mobile exclusive, I’m assuming they are a gamer who can easily access those game from the original platform (be it pc/console). They probably have played it on the respective platform.

Angry Birds Epic. The original ABE was shut down years ago, but some dedicated fans revived it, making multiple derivative works from it. Angry Birds Epic All Stars is my favorite.

Angry Birds Go and Adventure Time Card Wars are other android only games that were shut down years ago, but dedicated fans revived them. Their names are Angry Birds Go Nitro and Card Wars Kingdom.

Pretty partial to rocket league sideswipe myself though it’s a little annoying they moved it from Google play to Epic store only

Galaxy Genome, fun but slow paced space sim
