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!

    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:

    • Peglin
    • Willfrost
    • Balatoro
    • Slay the Spire
    • Gambonanza
    • PawnBarian
    • Baba is You
    • Monster Train
    • Shotgun King
    • Throne fall
    • Wargroove 2
    • Dicey Dungeons

      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).
