I have shattered pixel dungeon and it’s amazing. Love it.
I also have and love Unciv and Mindustry.
I’m looking for more great games that don’t collect your name, contacts, sms history, billing details, healthcare info, gender and race info, location data etc etc.
The games don’t have to be open source, but it would be preferable.
I’ve donated good money to all games listed above as I love them. So not chasing free. Just chasing trusted.
Just install Lemuroid (it’s on FDroid if you don’t use Google), and then you’ll have to get your ROMs. Not going to share any ROM sites here, forums usually don’t like that.
I don’t play any mobile games so I unfortunately don’t know any recommendations but if sandboxing an app that doesn’t respect your privacy sounds like a good solution to you, you could try shelter. Additionally, the Aurora Store can show you what permissions and trackers an android app on the Play Store uses.
I’ve really been enjoying Brotato premium edition on android and steam. It says it uses no permissions on android but no idea what info they get when you buy it.
Thanks for listing those other games, I’m going to go check them out.
Edit: and I’ve been playing shattered pixel dungeon for 2 minutes and know I will love it.

Rules:
1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
I would expect there to be ports of Rogue, Nethack, and similar; do those count?
Nethack is available through f-droid
Do you have a link? When I search, nothing comes up.
Looks like I mis-remembered. I had the version from Google Play installed at one time.
Ahhh ok. No problem. Thank you
If you’re into retro gaming, Lemuroid is a frontend fro libretro that runs on Android.
Thank you. Do I need to install libretro also, or is it included? Appreciate your suggestion

Maybe Slice & Dice will fit your bill?

Shelter is a great tip, if only for my need to run multiple instances of an application!
[Edit] Shoot, it doesn’t work when there is an existing work profile.
