This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Decent Fantasy/RPGlike Android games?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 8.4 tablet, which is quite nice and I have a few games that I like to play on it.

Here's a couple of my favourites:

The Talisman boardgame, converted to android.
It plays out just like the physical boardgame and has expansion packs etc.
It even supports multiplayer.
Well worth a purchase.

9th Dawn
An Old school top down RPG in the style of Ultima.
It has a lot of depth and is really fun. Feels kind of sandboxy in some ways, although there is an overall story to follow.
They're working on a new game for 9th Dawn called "Realms of Caspartia" , which looks interesting.

So what have you got?

To scratch the jRPG itch, there's always pretty much anything by Kemco.

A few of their games are free. Most of the rest are $4, with a few being $5. Almost all of their games have a "cash shop" feature, but the games aren't difficult, so it's not even remotely necessary to make use of them. So if you're worried about the normal mobile game freemium/pay-to-win thing, it's not a problem here.

My verdict: most of their offerings fall w/in the 4 to 5(out of 10) range. Below average but totally playable to perfectly average. They're not going to blow you away, but they'll scratch the jRPG itch at a $0 to $5 price point depending on which game you pick.

For more mainstream stuff, you could also try those Chaos Rings games by Square Enix. They're solid 6's, if a bit pricey for mobile games, and they can get a bit repetitive. I wouldn't suggest any of the Square Enix ports, though. If a game is over 20 years old like Chrono Trigger, I ain't spending more than $5 on it, period. Record Keepers is their latest attempt at a freemium game, and I got tired of it after about 30 minutes. And avoid All the Bravest like the plague -- what a load of garbage.
