It's still an easy game, but no grinding can be scary. Pick this if you're confident with your FE skills. If you fall behind, it can make the game a lot tougher.

There is no grinding, and it has mandatory permadeath after the first 10 tutorial chapters (which every game but FEH atleast has an option for). There are two good choices here- FE7 Blazing Blade, and FE8 Sacred Stones.įE7 has superior map design and story (imo), but it can be punishing. Or if you're okay with meh controls, and you're on Android, you can use this emulator for your phone.Ī ROM is the game. If you want to play on PC-which I would recommend-use this emulator. You need two things: an emulator and a ROM.Īn emulator is what allows you to play the game itself. I've also been told that Pathos: Nethack Codex is fairly good if you're a fan of regular NetHack, and HyperRogue or Ananias may scratch the itch if you don't mind a less-traditional approach to room/dungeon design (I've played Ananias some, and I like it). Other than POWDER, I know Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is available on Google Play (as either an offline ASCII version or an online-only graphical version), but both versions suffer from somewhat poor controls the game is really designed for a physical keyboard. If it strikes your interest but your device can't side-load APKs, you could download the gameboy advance version of it (also on the main site) and get an emulator from Google Play (note: downloading commercial game ROMs is illegal, but POWDER is a legal public-domain homebrew and therefore running it in an emulator does not break any laws - unlike, say, downloading a Pokemon game). Is availability on Google Play a must? Because POWDER is absolutely the best roguelike I've found on Android, but is only available on the creator's site, not on Google Play (edit: for future readers, here's a direct link to the APK). it does take some work, but it is definitely worth it. the free version has basically all the features you would want and the premium version has a few extras thrown on top.Īnyways, don't give up on the RP2 just yet. for gba content i have started using 'my boy!' and it works spectacularly. thankfully though, the retroid is using androind so there are a load of options. I love retroarch, but sometimes i just cant get it to work right. Since you are trying to play gba games, have you tried maybe changing the emulator you are using? it is a major hobby of mine to tinker with all my tech to get it to do what i want. i have 3 hacked 3dses, a hacked switch, a hacked wii, a phone with loads of emulators, and a bad ass pc for emulating all the way up to xbox 360 and ps3. and this is coming from someone with plenty of ways of enjoying emulated content. With that said though, once you do get it working, this is by far my favorite emulation station. i will run into 3 new problems for ever 2 i fix. it takes a lot of doing just to get even some of the most basic functionality out of it. the retroid pocket 2 is not in any way user friendly. Honestly, i see where you are coming from. I'm a little late on this one, but i just wanted to share my two cents.
