It was a sunny day in the jungle, and a curious ape was exploring his surroundings. As he swung from tree to tree, he stumbled upon a clearing where a magician was performing magic tricks for a small crowd of animals. Intrigued, the ape decided to join the gathering and see what all the fuss was about. The magician, dressed in a flowing cape and a top hat, began his act by pulling a rabbit out of thin air. The ape watched in awe as the magician waved his wand and made objects disappear and reappear. However, it was the next trick that caught the ape's attention.

Everything about this game has the look of something I should want to play. With art direction equal parts World of Warcraft and Skylanders, it’s big, bright, and beautiful on my iPad. Sure, the elevator music masquerading as a score does it no favors, but these are very much lands I want to explore, filled with creatures I want to interact with. It’s only when I start to play that I fall back down to Earth. “Oh yeah,” I tell myself “it’s one of those mobile games.”

I never got into the original Might Magic games in any of their forms so I was a little hesitant about hopping into a game this late in the series life. Sure, the elevator music masquerading as a score does it no favors, but these are very much lands I want to explore, filled with creatures I want to interact with.

However, it was the next trick that caught the ape's attention. The magician took out a deck of cards and asked the audience to choose a card. The ape, with his keen eyesight, observed that the magician had already placed the chosen card upside down in the deck.

RPGs for Android devices?

Posting in the Indie forum because that seems a more likely source of android games.

As the title says, are there any RPGs for android devices? Preferably ones that'll play nicely on a large screened device (I have a transformer).

Hi, there are several RPG-style games for Android devices, although many of them seem to be designed for small phone screens rather than tablets. Below is a list of some potentially interesting titles. I have not tried most of them, so I can't make any assurances about their actual quality or compatibility.

In addition to the list below, Ossian Studios may be interested in bringing their upcoming game The Shadow Sun to Android devices too in addition to iPod/iPhone/iPad. According to a post by producer Alan Miranda on their forums "Android definitely does sound like a good idea to us", however, there's no official announcement for Android yet, and their current priority is getting the game done for iOs.

Now here's the list; the links go to the entries of the games on Android Market. Many of the paid games have a free lite version available (sometimes I've linked to the free version). I've tried to classify the RPG titles based on the style of play, but that's mostly based on very brief looks at the screenshots and game description, so I may have misclassified some of the games. I may also have missed several games. Also, I've only looked on Android Market, there might be some RPGs available elsewhere.

Action RPGs:

Dragon of the Three Kingdoms (not sure how strong RPG elements it has, described as an "Action RPG (arcade beat'em up)")

Galaxy Hero (described as a "top-scrolling shoot-em-up RPG hybrid"; does seem to have several RPG elements)

Colosseum (described as an RPG, not sure how strong the RPG elements are)

Also worth mentioning is The Ur-Quan Masters (an open-source version of the original commercial game Star Control II); it's debatable whether it can be called an RPG but it has some RPG elements.

RPGs with pauseable real-time tactical combat:

GemRB (Thanks for noticing this Motoki! Implementation for running Infinity Engine games like Baldur's Gate on Android devices.)

RPGs with turn based battles (Final Fantasy style or other turn based system):

Puzzle Wars (looks somewhat similar to Puzzle Quest)

MatchHack (battles based on memory matching)

Magic Tower: Save the Princess (perhaps more a puzzle game than an RPG)

Infinite Tower RPG (probably turn-based, not sure how far in development it is)

Acedia RPG ("inspired by old computer games like the Ultima series")

First-person RPGs (full 3D or Dungeon Master -style):

He couldn't wait to see how the magician would trick the audience. As the magician shuffled the deck and made it seem like a random selection was being made, the ape knew that the chosen card was always at the top of the deck. The magician then asked the audience to pick a random number, and he began counting down the deck of cards. Just as he reached the chosen number, the magician pulled out the card and revealed it to be the very same one the audience had chosen. The crowd gasped in amazement, but the ape knew the secret behind the illusion. The main idea of the story is that the ape beholds a magic illusion performed by a magician in the jungle. The ape watches as the magician performs various tricks involving disappearing and reappearing objects. However, the ape is particularly fascinated by the trick where the magician asks the audience to select a card and then magically retrieves it from the deck. The ape, with his keen observation skills, realizes that the chosen card was already placed upside down in the deck and was always at the top. Despite knowing the secret behind the illusion, the ape still marvels at the magician's ability to deceive the audience..
