I’ve played most popular roguelikes like Balatro, Slay the Spire, Dead Cells, etc. So are there any good Android games that aren’t roguelikes?

I really like Unciv: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.unciv.app
Some of my favorites:
- Bloons TD 6 (paid)
- Levelhead (paid)
- Fancy Pants Adventures
- EDGE Extended (paid)
- Mindustry
- Data Wing
- Streets of Rage 4 (paid)
- Epic Battle Fantasy 5
I had a bigger list around somewhere but I can’t find it… These games are all pretty darn good though.
I forgot about the EBF games. So much fun
Mini Metro is great.
Balatro is rogue like? Maybe I don’t understand the genre as much as I thought.
These days when people say roguelike they just mean a game that divides its gameplay into short, disconnected runs instead of one long, continuous save. It unfortunately has nothing to do with whether a game is anything like Rogue.
Yes, the term is often misapplied, but Balatro has the other key part of actually being a roguelike which is leveling up your build periodically from a randomly selected set of options. The bosses are also randomly selected. It very much is a roguelike

Those are neat and trendy features, but I don’t see how they make it anything like Rogue or its ilk.
The definition of roguelike has been stretched to the point of near-uselessness, lol. Nowadays, any game with permadeath and “runs” is classified as a roguelike.
Personally, I’d prefer it if we stuck a little closer to the Berlin Interpretation definition.

My first purchase when I get a job will be Baba is You. Looks really good and has great reviews.
Stardew valley is on mobile.
Antimatter Dimensions is the best idle game ive ever played. Top 3 at the very least. While not much of a “game” I still want to plug it.
I really like The Quest for being a simple first person, dungeon crawler RPG. There’s an overworld and towns and a story, so it’s not just straight dungeon crawling. Nothing mold-breaking, but for a mobile game that I just want to fill some time when I have nothing else in my pockets, it absolutely does the trick.
The original, Magic Survival!

Free and fun to play. Minimal ads with a purchase to remove. Just got a huge new update. Inspiration of Vampire Survivors (also a great game!) and many others.
Exiled Kingdoms is a great old-school RPG. Paid but worth it.
I’m working hard on a mobile first rpg, plans for a small demo in two months if things go well!
I use Mini Review for most of my android game finding. I find that if they give an overall score of 8 and above, I almost always like the game.
I’m currently enjoying the idle clicker Magic Research 2 It doesn’t feel like most idlers. There’s monsters to fight that need some strategy and a pretty good plot where I actually read everything! Most games have plot that is so boring and rehashed that it’s not worth reading, but Magic Research 2 was a lot of fun. I played the demo a bit and bought the full version before running into whatever limits were in the demo.

I love Duet by Kumobius. A real nice timekiller, in a similar vein to subway surfers in a way.
Great call-out, I love this game. Fun to just get in the flow and twist.
