Problems with games on smartphones are hardware specs. Up until the latest years (maybe around 2015) there can only do simple apps, such as angry birds. Now there are some popular pc game ports, such as stardew valley and terraria (and battle royale fps games). Hopefully in several years there will be mobile first game.
However gaming in mobile doesn't feel good. The control feels inferior compared to keyboard + mouse, or joysticks.
- frosted-flakes 7y agoI don't agree. Something like Pokémon from the GameBoy era would run great on a phone, even if it was upgraded with modern graphics[0]. But nobody wants to pay $50 for a mobile game, and I expect Nintendo won't allow it because it would sabotage hardware sales. [0] Pokémon Go doesn't count.
- fendy3002 7y agoHave you tried using emulator for that? I've tried and don't like the touch control (physical joystick has better feel). And playing on phone can easily be interrupted, notif or calls for example. Then imo people don't want to spend 50$ because switch > mobile for gaming.
- zarify 7y agoThe Siralim games are some that capture some of what Pokemon is for mobile (although the controls aren't really optimised for touch with on-screen D-pad and virtual A/B buttons), although I suppose it's more like some of the old Monster Hunter games (capture, breeding as well as a bunch of other mechanics too).
