A few normally-paid Android games currently available for free on Google Play, though they all seem to still contain ads and/or microtransactions so I don’t know if the premium part is basically a scam. Comment if you can be bothered to investigate, I know I can’t!
Quick reviews of a couple:
Grow Spaceship VIP Played this one for probably an hour. The ads aren’t necessary for gameplay but all the upgrades cost various gems/rubies/gold/etc and every mission you complete has the option to watch an ad to double the reward. Also, there are a bunch of typos throughout the game I saw so far. The gameplay is also kind of lame, it’s kind of a bullet-hell but the only bullets are yours. Some few of the baddies that appear need to be destroyed before they move off-screen or move below you and hit the thing you defend but nearly all of the baddies are just moving around on the screen for a minute before drifting away with no consequence other than you didn’t get a few coins for killing them.
Sky Wings VIP: Pixel Fighters Played only long enough to confirm it was the same game economy. Play missions and watch ads to double the currency you get to spend on upgrades. The gameplay was a bit more involved, needing to move around the screen to pick up the coins and also to avoid return fire. But meh
Rogue Hearts Kind of neat. Looks like a dungeon crawl + city development game basically. The city sends you on missions and you wander through the dungeon (which might be procedurally generated) in a pretty well transitioned blend of real-time exploring and turn based fighting. I think this game would be fun but I don’t know if I’ll come back to it and give it a chance. Oh, point in it’s favor: no ads
or micro transactionsthat I saw in the few minutes I played EDIT: looks like there are rubies which are bought with real currency, ah wellAppreciate the research!
