There are plenty of ‘pay once, no ads’ games on mobile. Been playing through Hyper Light Drifter (great game) lately then will move on to Sympthony of the Night. Also, there are other, free with Netflix games that are equally as good and otherwise don’t contain ads like Sonic Mania, Hades, TMNT: Shredders Revenge, GTA: Collection, and Dead Cells to name a few. And why is this thread acting like the Backbone or the MG-X Pro (which I use and it’s fantastic) don’t exist? These games on mobile are well suited for an in and out gaming experience especially if you watch live sports (play during ad breaks or halftime), or have a family where getting time in front of your pc can be challenging.
And it amazes me to think that there are people who despise touchscreens so much that games like Into the Breach, Final Fantasy Tactics, or even Angry Birds would be considered far inferior with a touchscreen compared to a controller.
