Finding Video Games Later in Life
Most people expect to hear that Chad Mannicia grew up dreaming of making video games but that’s not the case.
Chad got his first taste of programming when he was in fourth grade. He actually started doing simple coding on a T1994a. He didn’t complete any big projects back then, at least not until his high school years. During that time, he put together some turn-based strategy and RPG games using Pascal.
From dungeon crawlers to Souls-likes to state-of-the-art MMOs and story-driven classics, there is something for every fan of Android RPGs.
It's only as gross as you let it be. Slap a controller on a phone/tablet and get great games like Dead Cells or the like, and you're having a perfectly good time. It would never be my primary way to play games, but it is certainly able to be a solid supplementary platform.
Thanks for reminding me Square makes terrible mobile ports most the time and then copy pastes them to Steam.
Most of this list can and should be played in its original format on console or PC.
If you looking for a great Android RPG, we offer you the following lists of the the best Android RPGs You Never Heard Of.
I'm not big on phone games, but Lone Wolf and Atom RPG are great games and work well on a phone.
That said, it blows my mind they didn't include at least one Dragon Quest/Warrior or Final Fantasy game.
They have a great port for FF Tactics: War of the Lions damn it. Show it some love.
For many, the premise behind a list of the best Android RPGs amounts to a contradiction in terms. Most of us who work and play in the mobile gaming sphere do in fact understand that our platform of choice is the red-haired stepchild of the gaming industry. Believe it or not, if you dig down a level deeper into the sub-cellar of small one, two-man indie dev teams, you have a subgenre that is the village idiot of the gaming industry. Thing is, as with the best social misfits, some genuinely compelling stuff has reared its wholly head out of the depths of gaming’s social underbelly.
