Mindustry has a version that runs on android. You can also play CDDA and Dwarf Fortress over SSH. I would suggest using screen so that you can easily reconnect to your session if you are disconnected. Played both over the covid lockdowns as I was staying with my partner and I would SSH to my PC to play. Used an external keyboard as my phone screen was pretty small, better on a tablet.
I really like The Quest for being a simple first person, dungeon crawler RPG. There’s an overworld and towns and a story, so it’s not just straight dungeon crawling. Nothing mold-breaking, but for a mobile game that I just want to fill some time when I have nothing else in my pockets, it absolutely does the trick.

Exiled Kingdoms is a great old-school RPG. Paid but worth it.
I’m working hard on a mobile first rpg, plans for a small demo in two months if things go well!

My favorite PAID games on the Play Store (+ user recommendations 💬): https://infosec.pub/post/31044866
Not my links, came across them a little while ago. Haven’t gone through full lists, just skimmed them, but they look good.
Some of my favorites:
I had a bigger list around somewhere but I can’t find it… These games are all pretty darn good though.
I forgot about the EBF games. So much fun
Mini Metro is great.
I really like Unciv: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.unciv.app
Angry birds
Recently finished Hobo: Tough Life. It was a fun play though
I listed some decent Android games I know of in a past thread.
The real secret is to look for board game adaptations and stuff you’d normally find on Steam.
I also have expanded my list for when I have the Play credit and desire for more mobile games:
Xcom 2 has an Android port. It’s not technically a roguelike. 🤷♂️
I love Duet by Kumobius. A real nice timekiller, in a similar vein to subway surfers in a way.
Great call-out, I love this game. Fun to just get in the flow and twist.
