Best mobile games with 0 microtransactions? (lemmy.world)

I do like having games on my phone, but it's always a struggle looking for games with 0 microtransactions. So would like a game I can out right pay for, or one with ads. The ability to disable ads for $5 is chill though.

I've played a lot of games that you can "have fun being f2p" but some days I just get really sick and tired of games I play trying to sell me things every 30 seconds.

So do you guys have any?

If not I may go back to playing GBA games on my phone XD

EDIT: Oh selling like expansions is probably fine if it's legit like a full other game. I'm on android

Mini Metro. Its a transportation strategy game where you build and manage a city´s metro system through the style of the London tube map. You pay once and get the whole game. No ads or micro transactions.

Open Tyrian is an old shoot em up thats open source and has been ported to dozens of platforms, including android. It plays very well with touch controls.

If you want a Minecraft like game thats free and has no microtransactions I recommend Minetest (Now called Luanti). Its open source and has tons of mods.

Thank you so much for the Mini Metro suggestion! Loving it!

It’s been a while. Have you thrown your phone yet?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Still loving it! After fucking up a bunch of times I started reading up on some strategies. Still stuck on London, but I'm enjoying it

Very similar, but in my opinion slightly more fun, is Mini Motorways
