8. THE BANNER SAGA
THE BANNER SAGA DOWNLOAD THREAD
The Banner Saga is a highly polished RPG steeped in Viking mythology. The gods have abandoned the world, leaving it sunless and helpless to the violent whims of an ancient mechanical race. Giants and humans are forced into an unlikely alliance to survive the ordeal. Players jump between meaningful dialog sessions and turn-based combat with 25 different characters spanning five different classes. Failure in crucial battles or tending to your caravan of survivors leaves lasting results through the rest of the game.

9. PIXEL DUNGEON
GOOGLE PLAY LINK
Pixel Dungeon is one of the most popular roguelikes available on Android, offering extremely challenging turn-based action in a cute, pixellated package. Players only have one life to find keys to each level of a randomly generated dungeon, descend further, gather coins and loot, and retrieve the amulet in one piece. The menaces you encounter will grow more and more challenging as you progress, but you can't dawdle either; every step takes a toll on your adventurer's hunger.
For those that like to tinker, the game is open-sourced, allowing players to enjoy variant versions and the ability to make their own roguelike. The only in-app purchase is the option to donate to the project.
10. FINAL FANTASY VI
FINAL FANTASY VI DOWNLOAD THREAD
Final Fantasy VI is a classic JRPG that has made its way to Android with a handful of refinements since its 1994 SNES debut. The classic storyline of a mysterious girl with no memory and an oppressive regime bent on harnessing a new magical force remains faithfully intact. Turn-based combat, amazing creatures, and a wide world full of original stories are hallmarks of the Final Fantasy franchise that keep players coming back.
Final Fantasy VI is a somewhat arbitrary pick since it happens to be our favorite of the series, but Square Enix has done a fine job porting every Final Fantasy before it, as well as the classic Dragon Quest games, Chrono Trigger, and Secret of Mana. Their made-for-mobile Chaos Rings games are pretty good, too. Check out the entire Square Enix collection here.
Final Fantasy VI for Android is a premium title with no in-app purchases, available for $15.99. Old-school gamers won't bat an eyelash before picking this up.
