Turn based RPGs and such for Android.

Looking to spruce up my phone a bit, don't know what if any are available. Not a Final Fantasy guy. I say turn based because the few actiony type games I tried weren't at all suited for playing with your thumbs.

I know you said you're not a Final Fantasy guy, but Final Fantasy Tactics is a great game and well worth your time and money. There's also Chrono Trigger that is one of my favorite SNES RPGs.

I have yet to find any good RPGs. The ones they make mobiles are always way too simple and boring, while good old classics like Heroes III or Fallout can be emulated, but usually theres the interface issue.

 

If FFT can be played on Android, though, there's nothing better. It's not really anything similar to Final Fantasy, just a long campaign of challenging, tactical, turn based battles with highly customisable characters.

 

In fact, Labadal, how do you run it on android? My Galaxy 2 would love to have it.

I don't have an Android phone myself (iphone owner), but I've tried it on a friends phone.

Avadon: Black Fortress is supposed to be on Android. Don't know how well it plays on a phone, though.

No, but you can get the GemRB which the Infinity Engine for IOS devices. Also it's open source.
