Terraria, but it's a lot better on PC. You can transfer your character files and maps with a little effort though.
DevilutionX is pretty good if you liked Diablo 1.
And then there are the insane lists of ROMs/emulators.

I have been enjoying Slice and Dice. Roguelikes scratch a certain itch for me.
For once, anon is not fake. May still be gay
I like Genshin Impact tho 😭
I find Honkai: Star Rail even more suited to mobile (It's mostly not reaction time based) but still play Genshin also. Not as much as I did, but still too much.

At least there is Stardew Valley.
you get the problem PC has (zillions of devices of different hardware/os configs) but at an even lower performance minimum. heavily limits what developers actually can do with it.
also doesnt help that more than half your userbase doesnt want to actually pay for the game.
Mobile games don't need to be technically impressive though. It's not like in PC/consoles where people want the most expensive high res 3D graphics.
I don't know if this is true for most, but for me, I just want a game that is simple visually but entertaining. The last thing I want is for a game to drain my phone's battery.
I've actually paid for a game. Had a good demo/trial and I paid for the full version. However, part of the problem is that way too many mobile games are trash. I'm not putting any money in unless I can try the game first.
PC has a similar problem. It's easy to find good games, but they're are still so many to choose from and finding one that fits what I like is still hard without a trial/demo of some sort. The 2 hour limit on Steam isn't enough time for a lot of games. Hell, I was just trying out a demo for a game right up my alley and I spent two hours just looking at all the options I had before I really even started the game. I think there's too much customization for my taste. It's cool, but that also means you can spend countless time trying to customize things to be optimal. I'll spend all my time tweaking things rather than playing.
yeah it should really be a "2 hours of playtime not counting settings fiddling and character creation if it's an RPG" or maybe just bump it up to 4h
though i'm pretty sure Steam is leading the demo renessance, the demo fest is a good show of that. And i've noticed many more games have demos nowadays, though it's mostly limited to indi games. I guess triple A with 20 franchise releases doesn't need to convince its fantabse to buy the game

A year ago or so I would have said Clash Royale. But now... nah.
You'll find plenty of videos that explain this better than I can, but at this point the devs clearly hate the community, the game is more pay to win than ever, evolutions are completely broken and the devs barely care to balance the game anymore.
It's pretty obvious that right now they just want to squeeze as much money as possible from the game before it completely dies out.
Yea picked up the game a week ago, after not playing for 2 or 3 years and wow is this game unballanced. At this point it's just realy anoying. And my 2013 deck is obviously not meta anymore, but to level a new deck to a point of playability takes an obscene amount of work.
They literally only have to pander to a small handful of whales to justify pay to win microtransactions. I'm sure the average player never spends any money on it.
And that describes mobile gaming in a nutshell.
