20. Legend of Mushroom
Looks can be deceiving. For a simple mushroom adventure, this can be incredibly addictive. In the end, this is all about the items which you get by rubbing a magic lamp. Choose well and your shrom will grow into the legend it was meant to be. For all your time investment, you could be suckered into spending if you’re not careful.
19. Love and Deepspace
If you loved Tears of Themis, you’ll love this exquisite Otome game with bachelors steeped in 3D realism you can almost touch. While love is a battlefield, here the adage takes a literal turn, with real-time combat as a DeepSpace Hunter. It’s essentially still a gacha game and all you do is in the spirit of earning new romantic cutscenes, if you’re lucky.
18. Invincible: Guarding the Globe
For fans of Invincible, see the comic characters back in action and battling up close. It’s a basic auto battler, with a slight tactical spin. You can still breeze through battles, but watching heroes perform ultimates is pretty cool. To get your favorite characters, play the game of luck with their gacha chests.
17. Pixel Heroes: Tales of Emond
Only available in a few regions, this is an idle game in the traditional pixel JRPG style. Tales of Emond is a visual treat, whisking you away to the Continent in your battle against a demon king. You won’t have much control over your heroes. But you can upgrade their skills so they can survive the adventure ahead.
16. Magic Chronicle: Isekai RPG
Another JRPG-like auto battler. Magic Chronicle has sleek and smoothly-animated characters. Go on automated adventures with heroes you can level up, using whatever resources you can muster. Manage them well so you don’t have to turn to its many microtransactions.
15. Soul Strike - Idle Action RPG
Com2us’ Idle Action RPG lets you start square in the middle of the action. The battles, fought in a large 3D space with monsters coming at you from everywhere--just like Vampire Survivors. But your battle is upgrading. From skills to classes and soul stones. It’s that same addictive loop, with a freemium finish. Tread lightly.
14. NASCAR Manager
An officially licensed NASCAR game. Take your drivers to the top ranks by managing pit stops and race aggression. Outside the race, you’ll have to rely on the lootbox economy for new drops on equipment, drivers, and boosters. They pulled out all the stops for this game, with realistic racing graphics and licensed tracks and drivers!
13. Lumbercat : Idle Tycoon
From the high-octane races to the lost art of lumbering. Explore the lumbering process from start to finish, with your army of cat workers assisting you every step of the way. It’s a slow process at first, as you work for your first billions. Your cats will still be grinding while you’re away, but you can pay cash for gems and tickets to speed things up.
12. Arcane Saga - Turn Based RPG
Probably the closest you’ll get to a classic turn-based RPG. Each hero brings their own flavor to the battle, but it’s your tactical wits that will bring them to victory. While that’s all well and good, its reliance on heroes and equipment might mean you’ll hit a paywall faster than you’d hope.
11. ASTRA: Knights of Veda
Fans of Vanillaware’s RPGs will love ASTRA’s visuals and gameplay. Seemingly a cross-between Dragon’s Crown and Odin Sphere, you get an all-out experience of visuals, story, and exciting combat. It’s only fair that it needs a whopping 7 gigabytes from your smartphone. Taking after Genshin’s weapons and characters gacha, the 5-star droprates manage to be stingier than Hoyo’s.
10. Boori's Spooky Tales: Idle RPG
Following the Soul Knight formula, go on a ghostbusting adventure as a crow fighting to return to his human body. With dungeons and new skills and summons, it’s loaded with content with an interesting story to boot.
9. Eggy Party
This game has everything you love about Fall Guys. Vibrant menus, funky characters, and wackier and wackier game modes. The competition is fiercer than ever, with ultimates to bring down your rivals. With over 30 eggs to beat, it’s the survival of the fittest, round egg.
8. The Legend of Tartar
Legend of Tartar hooks you from your first auto-battle. With its fast-paced and addictive gameplay loop, reinforced by an adorable hero you can’t help but root for. With generous rewards and optional ads, there’s everything to play for. Progress will get slower the higher you go and you might be forced to check their paywalled resources to level up.
7. Yes, Your Grace
The makers of the BREXIT-inspired simulation game, Not Tonight, goes medieval. No More Robot’s Yes, Your Grace puts you in the shoes of a King. Holding council for citizens, allies, and even family, in the midst of an oncoming war. It’s a balance. Of resources and diplomacy. This free Android version lets you try the first few weeks as King!
6. Buriedbornes2 -Dungeon RPG-
Get right into dungeon-diving in this turn-based roguelike RPG. As a corpse hero, every death is a chance to revive with better parts and venture farther than the last. Buriedbornes 2 is all improved with new runes, abilities, and classes. And the best part: it’s free-to-play with no ads in between.
5. NU: Carnival - Bliss
Even if this is game is the watered-down, Play Store approved-version, it’s still oozing with the sexiness of the original adult version. Sure, it only has the battles, the story, and the…sultry interactions…but we still recommend it for mature audiences only.
4. Cat Cooking Bar - Food game
Rise up the ranks of the restaurant industry. All you have to do is keep upgrading! Take on a part-timer, double production, and spread word of mouth. Watching ads can help you double production and brighten up your shops. For a smoother ride, you can remove them entirely with a one-time fee.
3. CookieRun: Witch’s Castle
CookieRun’s gingerbread man finds himself on a new adventure. This time, to explore the Witch’s Castle. But to do so, he’ll need Stars, earned from each solved puzzle. It’s a pleasant ad-less blockbuster adventure…as long as you don’t get too stuck. Else, you’ll need powerups and hearts which you can earn…or pay for! You can also get a Season Pass for a boost in rewards!
2. AFK Journey
AFK journey knows how to keep you hooked. The visuals are gorgeous, the main story is voice-acted, with a combat similar to Invincible’s. Like most free games, you’ll need to work hard to get heroes. Sure, there’s also the gacha option: coughing up real cash for chests and invites. But, with AFK journey’s continuous updates, the scenic route isn’t all bad.
