Game Recommendations with Unique Progression Mechanics

-

Hey everyone! I just got a new Android phone about three weeks ago and I’m on the hunt for games that have really interesting progression mechanics and a lot of content. I’ve tried a bunch of popular gacha games like Genshin, Honkai, Realm of Pixel, Limbus, Arknights, and Granblue, but I feel like the progression is pretty repetitive. I get tired of constantly switching characters just to use the latest shiny one I got. Instead, I prefer games that allow me to focus on developing one or two characters through various mechanics, gimmicks, and events. I’m looking for a blend of horizontal and vertical progression. I’m open to RPGs, strategy, or idle games. A friend suggested Disgaea 4, which I didn’t realize I could play on my phone, so I’ll be trying that out today after work. I’ve also been enjoying a game called Super Snail that I found from lurking around here—it has fun progression mechanics that keep me engaged. Any other recommendations would be awesome! Thanks, and have a great day!

Dead Cells is an awesome choice! I didn’t realize it was available on mobile, but it’s definitely worth it! You might want to grab a gamepad to enhance your experience.

You might like Hollow Knight on Android! It’s not necessarily an official port, but the progression is fantastic and the boss battles are amazing. Definitely something to consider.

I actually finished Hollow Knight on Steam a while back, so I’m not really looking to replay it. But thanks for the suggestion—it does make me think about other potential PC ports!
