Are there any valid android games that's also good to play on android and on PC?

I think of vampire survivor but it also has PC version.

The only ones I can think of that are any good that are not easily available on PC already are actually ports of older console games, e.g. Final Fantasy Tactics.

I keep looking up games and finding they have had PC ports. The only one I haven't found yet is the original Monument Valley. But it was rather short and easy, which was okay for a mobile game, maybe, but on PC it really wouldn't hold up. And I guess the sequel got a PC port anyway.

Old console games that are not available on PC

Dragon Quest games (1-6, 8, Builders)

Final Fantasy Tactics

etc.

Every now and then I go through a period where to recover from work I grab something quick to eat and spend the rest of my night lying about in bed – Like you know it's bad if you can't even stomach sitting up at your desk. One day I came across Symphony of the Night for less than a fiver on the Google Play Store, thought why not, and after connecting a controller to my phone it instantly became one of my favourite games.

I’m seeing all of the Dragon Quest games on the iOS App Store as one time purchases with no in app purchases. They cost between $4.99 and $19.99

Yes? It's the same thing

What’s the question? Someone said they aren’t available on mobile

OP asked "Are there any valid android games that's also good to play on android and on PC?"

I replied: "Old console games that are not available on PC"

You then replied the same as me but iOS, hence the "Yes? It's the same thing"

“Reading is Fundamental” (blaming myself)

You said

“ Old console games that are not available on PC Dragon Quest games (1-6, 8, Builders) Final Fantasy Tactics etc.”

I thought you were listing examples of old games that are not on mobile (that’s completely on me)

I think it could be good for games you have a continuous account in, but sometimes want to play on PC, and sometimes on your phone.

The better games have some account login and online synchronization... but also requires sometimes buying two copies.

For me is the ability just to play mobile games in my PC, because I'm most of the time using it and not so much my phone, also because most of the games are casual you can easily multitask while playing, that's not easy to do it on mobile.

Fair enough, though I feel that using mouse instead of touch is less enjoyable for some games.

Maybe genshin impact? If you don't trust the PC exe I guess
