I just thought it might be fun to write up a very little article recommending three of the free and open-source games I tried and loved from F-droid!
Not only do I spend a ton of time on Android systems because I review retro handhelds, but I also enjoy exploring the more unusual corners of the platform, especially when they involve open-source software and games. I’m a daily user of F-droid (and have convinced my whole family to do the same), and turning my attention to the gaming side of things seemed a fun idea for an article.
In this one I try and show off three games:
- Breakout 71
- Shattered Pixel Dungeon
- AAAAXY
Read on if you’re looking for fun F-droid games you can control easily (which itself is a damn miracle) with the on-screen touch controls.

And if you’ve got any recommendations, I’d love to hear them!
Unciv - civ 5 clone
Slice and Dice - weird dice game, bit of a learning curve but it’s neat
Slice and Dice is an amazing game. I love the amount of variety in game types.
Sadly I feel like most games that are any good are PC ports:
I don’t think that Balatro and Slay the Spire are available on Android outside the Play Store. Also these games aren’t Open Source. I have absolutely nothing against good game recommendations or proprietary games, but this post is about F-Droid (Open Source).
