Are there any good RPG games for Android phones?

What are the options out there? I have Nexus S, so it's a touchscreen. I don't know if I'm looking for a particular style of RPG, just something good to pass the time with.



Oooh, I just thought... if Baldur's gate could be run on Android with aDosbox, and controlled with a touchscreen, that'd be amazing.

Give Gurk a try. It's pretty fun.

Wow, I just found that there's a port for Heroes of Might & Magic II on Android:

One of my all-time favorite games that I still play. Score.

Nothing I found really great. I have:
- Cyberlords Arcology which is a futuristic adventure/rpg game
- Dungeon 3D : useless hack'n'slash
- Realm of Fortune: a 3D RPG, which could be pretty good. But I could not "enter" in it. No feeling of immersion.
- Zenonia: It's japanese style RPG. Not my cup of tea. Some might like this
- Star Traders: very nice space opera rpg. Steep learning curve however.

I definitely recommend checking out Zenonia. It has a lot of depth and looks stunning. It's a love letter to old school, 2D RPG's from the SNES era.

The one that I've most enjoyed is Andor's Trail. It's a roguelike. It just got a content update, though since it's a free and open-source game it doesn't update frequently at all. Still, it should entertain for several days.

Semi-related.

I am on a Nook as a makeshift tablet. powered by Android. Anyone know of a way to access the Android market without unlocking the nook? Not having much luck.

The only way to access the full market without unlocking it would be to install Cyanogen 7 onto an SD card and use that to boot Cyanogen. When you do this, you don't make any permanent changes to the Nook, and all you do is pop out the SD card when you want to revert back to the stock Nook operating system.
