Unciv is a decent Civilization clone. And it's open source.
Seconded! The top mods are worth checking out, too.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon
Mindustry
Seconding SPD. Of all Android games, I think I've wasted the biggest part of my life on that one. An extremely well balanced and fair roguelike, even if that sounds contradictory.
+1 for Mindustry
Almost every paid Kairosoft games?
Cannot agree with this enough. Kairosoft games SLAP yo.

Terraria
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
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.
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

- Any Playdigious games is good.
- Any Kairosoft games.
- ICEY is such an underrated game. The narration and it's wit is so good.
- Levelhead if you want platformer and want Super Mario Maker on your phone.
- Limbo
Slay the Spire is a heavy recommendation from me, though it does have online sync it works nicely offline.
I just bought it. The only problem is, that the font is relatively small.

Shattered pixel dungeon if you like roguelikes; it's on the play store and fdroid
Stardew Valley, 10/10
My goto for offline gaming is usually emulation, typically pokemon. But I can also recommend the Bart Bonte puzzle games, Vampire Survivor and Shattered Pixel Dungeon.
+1 for emulation, especially games you never got a chance to play before when they were new

If the game does not need online features, then you can make any game "ad free" with an app like "NetGuard". Just block the app from accessing the internet.
Or add 'dns.adguard-dns.com' into Private DNS in your phones settings.
Dead Cells & Titan Quest. Both are amazing games, work totally offline, no ads.
Playing Dead Cells on mobile sounds rough. How are the controls? Love it on my Steam Deck.

Mindustry and Unciv are my main recommendations. If you like strategy stuff, you'll have a blast.
Slay the Spire is a heavy recommendation from me, though it does have online sync I'm pretty sure it works offline...
DATA WING, is a great game! Really well made, easy to pick up for a few miniuits and really well scripted!

Yioto is a great indie dev with lots of gems, but if particularly recommend Antiyoy.
I'd also recommend Battle for Polytopia.
I'm fairly certain both these turn based strategy games will work fine offline.
Unciv and Shattered Pixel Dungeon have been on my Phone forever. Both available on FDroid.
Troll Patrol. The base game is with ads but can be upgraded cheaply to a pro version with no ads. It's an excellent match-3 rogue-lite RPG. I was playing it for the last two months. Similar to You must build a boat, for example. The developer also closed his subreddit because of recent API changes. He's a good guy, You can show him some love and buy his game.
Simon Tatham's puzzle collection is my fallback game for whenever I don't have internet or am bored with whatever other game I'm playing
Battle for Wesnoth is cool once you get used to the weird controls
Patience balls
The Layton games - the DS games have been ported to Android and totally slap. As someone who never had a DS, I'm enjoying this era of the games coming to Android and being playable here.
There is a Cultist Simulator there. I don't know about Android port much, but it's a good game on PC
Found an old archive so I'm going to ad to the thread myself:
Alto's Adventure and Alto's Odyssey both definitely work offline, but I'm not sure about them trying to serve you advertisements.
I also used to have a considerable library of emulated games on my phone and would use a bluetooth gamepad. I should probably go back down this road I think! I'd imagine emulation has come a long way since I was mucking around with it.
