Is there some actual good "real" games to play for mediocre android phone? Or would it be kinda better to just emulate or just play PC versions likes of chrono trigger and final fantasy oldies and stuff
Kinda interested on phoenix wright games but too bad that they dont have the original 3 also they are pretty expensive.
Are there sales in mobile stuff when there are sales for PC games like summer and x-mas and so on?

Also what gog games would work well on scummvm on phone with you know limited right clicking? police quest 3 seemed kinda bad with that interface when right clicking when I finally managed to understand how to get gog games on phone.

Also thimble weed park seems to be cheaper on phone

I have played Beneath a Steel Sky on Android. It worked fine, and is a really great game (also, it's free).

If you like turn-based roguelikes, Shattered Pixel Dungeon is really good and completely free

I play a lot of Android games on a tablet, but almost all of them I currently have installed are available on PC too so I can't help that much if you want Android exclusives
I picked up Imperium Galactica II: Alliances ages ago and it was so messed up and missing many if not all of the cut scenes, it kind of put me off ports on Android.

Games developed for Android and iOS, I'm fine with. I don;t think i'll look at any more ports unless the reviews say that the game actually works.
The Frostrune if you'd like a cool short adventure.
Grim Wanderings if you want battles like Disciples and an adventuring map with events.
Card Thief for a nice puzzle card game

I also want to try Dungeon Survival, the reviews say it's a copy of Darkest Dungeon. And Buriedbornes

I'll be sure to check it out. I'm not actually sure what is roguelike though.

From Wikipedia

Roguelike is a subgenre of role-playing video games, characterized by a dungeon crawl through procedurally generated game levels, turn-based gameplay, tile-based graphics, and permanent death of the player-character. Most roguelikes are based on a high fantasy narrative, reflecting their influence from tabletop role playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons.
Also there is a port of Locomalito's The Abbey of the Death on the playstore (if you like Locomalito's games).
I listed some here:

I recommend Questlord as an old-style but not old RPG.
I suggest Ramdomhack,
Vector PInball, I am Level, Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic (Or OpenTTD for Android once stable), the Simon Tatham Puzzle Collection, Droidfish Chess, Simple Solitaire Collection and Retroarch.
double fine games are on android. slighter cheaper than home console. even free to play middle manager of jsutice is loads of fun and not really a pay to win game

book of unwrittent tales 2 is on android and gog. although requires a fairly modern device. not seen this on sale at all

rayman jungle run / fiesta run has been on sale for very cheap price. it does have in-app purchases but it's very minor and can complete the entire game without in-app purchases.

amazon underground store has loads of free games that are otherwise costly. laracroft / hitman / deus ex go. hitman sniper. mickeys castle, ducktales, where's my water etc

scummvm is really daft. i have an older perfectly functioning version of scummvm. android updates break the older version's support and scummvm don't help by re-working the emulator so it's completely different from the older working version. it's just too much work and i avoid scummvm for android now.
DOSBox Turbo is surprisingly useful on the emulating front. On my Samsung Galaxy Tab E i was able to get dungeone keeper playable (not super well), but i had no trouble with Wing Commander (except 3 and 4 which i couldn't even get installed) and the like. The biggest problem with android is the official software is mostly shovelware, and it's hard to separate the good stuff. Then you have really good stuff like Shovel Knight, Luftrausers, and other big titles, but they're usually only for specific android systems with guaranteed controllers, due to how android sets up their shop (i actually talked to the shovel knight devs about this, and they directly said that the big issue was that you can't guarantee a controller and touch controls would easily sully the game's reputation as a cashin).

There's also projects to get undertale and such working on android, which i used and now have Luftrausers and Undertale on my tablet. Lots of ports like Anodyne, Bard's Tale, Jade Empire, The World Ends with You, Dragon's Lair, Simple Planes, SoulCalibur, GTA, and the final fantasies as you've noted.

Here are my honorable mentions:
TWEWY: Was redone for iOS, but exists on android.
Intersteller Pilot: Kinda crappy, but it's like X mixed with Starfleet Command.
Lone Wolf: LIke alot of mobile games, except it refuses microtransactions and such.
Icey: I haven't actually played it (yet), but when i bought it it was getting really good reviews.
Retro City Rampage: Remade for the 3ds, 3ds remake is on android.
NetHack: Just a client, but i think it's worth it.
AbyssandDark: (If you can understand japanese): basically it's Gothic Elminage.
The Quest: Looks crappy, kinda is, but it's a great engine, and it might even be moddable, but I haven't tried.
X-Com: Enemy Within: Works really well, surprisingly.
Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions: Ported exceptionally well.
Final Fantasy IX: Also ported exceptionally well.
Knights of Pen and Paper: Feels better on android, actually.
Ambition of the Slimes: Cheap FFT knockoff, butit's not bad for what you pay to disable the ads (or not).
The Escapists: Also feels better on android.

And last, but not least, Termux is your friend. If you have a linux server with SSHD installed, and you have a terminal based game, go for it. Odds are you can port it, too, but remember they don't have x-server on android. Don't forget the gogmix of games on android.

Currently, i'm trying to figure out if the witch spring games are worth playing.

Antimateria: ...
Screw Android, but where have you been, or have I just missed your messages? I already thought you are a goner (not really dead, but gone from GOG.com forums, which is pretty much dead to me.)

I usually don't pay much of attention who is present or missing in the forum, but for some reason you are one of the persons that I at some point recalled "Hey wasn't there this guy with the gas mask...?". The other such guy was that ogre-avatar guy who liked console games too and apparently got fed up with GOG "community" because many of us are so PC-centric, or something.


Ok, so for your question, play Plants vs Zombies, the Android version is quite good albeit it felt short to me the last time I replayed it, leading me to believe that is it possibly missing some levels from the PC version?

AD 1 ("good and "real" games for Android) - yes, there are, however a lot of them (basing on my experience) are ports of PC/console games. Good thing is, that usually you don't have to bother about adverts, in-game transaction and other plagues (there are some single cases when there is in theory some "in-game" payment, but it's done only once and unlocking full game).

Basing on my experience, I can recommend Android version of first Carmageddon, Sonic 1,2 and CD (now some of them are technically for free, but for one-time payment, you can unlock "normal" version, without adverts, with offline playing etc), Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes, Uniwar, Templar Battleforce RPG, Duck Tales... But don't know how about Carmageddon and Duck Tales on mediocre phones, Clash of Heroes can be a bit slower at some moments, but rest should work fine.

Installing some mutation of DoxBox (there is a couple of programs like this, some are for free, some not) on Android phone can be also a nice way, but not for every game (I would say that less demanding platform games will be a good option - try with Apogee games).

AD2 Sales- well, there is the problem, that, as far as I know, GooglePlay doesn't allow to browse applications currently discounted (no such criteria in browser), which means that you'll need to check regulary some websites about mobile games discounts (or check by yourself chosen games). Humble Store is selling some mobile games and they're discounted during bigger sales, although mostly those which are sold with "stationary" versions. It's good to remember to check eveyr monday if there is new Mobile Bundle from Humble guys, they've got usually plenty of nice games for nice price.

AD3 - sadly, I don't known, never used ScummVM on android.
Adding Shadowrun Returns and Shadowrun Dragonfall to the list
