Are there any good 4X space games for Android? - Android Apps and Games

I wonder if anyone has found any good 4X space games for Android? It seems to me that such a type of games would be very suited for a touch screen device.
Just picked up Master of Orion 1 and 2 and Good Old Games earlier and they are so much fun. If anyone ever ported Master of Orion 1 to Android I would celebrate for days heh.

I too would love to find something along the lines of MOO or something similar for android, I have played those sort of games to death on my pc and really miss them since nothing like them, half decent, has been released for ages. Does anyone know of any developments like this for good 'ol droid?

Perhaps in some sort of DOSBOX emulator for android?

One of iPhone's best selling games Fruit Ninja is coming to Android this Wednesday

According to the CEO of Halfbrick who I talked to today, Fruit Ninja, which is one of the most popular games on iOS is coming to Android in 2 days.
Details and a video preview of the new Arcade game mode on the iPad are here: Fruit Ninja Coming To Android Wednesday + New Arcade Mode [AppNation]
Btw, he said it only took the company 2 weeks to port Fruit Ninja from iOS to Android using the NDK.
Go Android!
cool, hopefully they release a demo verison/ ad enabled full verson
This is definitely going to become the norm now with Android picking up so much steam over the last year!
Is it any different from Ninja Kaka?

Am I the only one that's been playing this game for over a week now on their phone?

Fruit Samurai has been out a while for Android which is basically a clone of this as well.
I love fruit ninja on my iPad. I bought a clone of it, Fruit Kaka (I know) and I returned it. I can't wait to get this.
fruit pirate 3d is better
Ugh, I feel dirty because I bought Ninja Kaka which seems to have been pulled from the market. Oh well, I'll be buying the full version of this when it's out as well.
It looks like the real version will only be $0.99. Frackin' fantastic! Going to encourage everyone I know to buy this so hopefully other iPhone devs will follow suit.
The game runs flawlessly on the EVO
OC'ed, FRESH ROM, NETARCHY KERNEL
30MB install guys, just any fyi.

27mb doesn't matter even you have 24 gigs .
Installed on my vibrant. Runs great, just the same as the iphone.
My brothers nexus is confirmed working flawlessly.
Yay for great apps!
This message is brought to you by my Samsung Vibrant, using the XDA app.
I've uninstalled pretty much every app on my Desire and the marketplace won't let me install it due to lack of space
fun game, just bought and played for the first time.
Am I the only one that thinks Fruit Pirate (even the demo) is far superior to this one? Maybe the graphics are a bit worse but the power-ups are funny, and you can slice the halves of the fruit too.
Not showing up in the market for me. I'm on a Vibrant with the new firmware leak.
bought it this morning...and ran it a few times...
(EVO running CM6nightly (Sept14) SNAP7.6 with SNAPTurbo ON)
I'm noticing a slight lag from the game registering a finger on the screen to the actual start of the slash. I have the game for my iPad...and have not noticed any issues like that.
Anyone have the same issue? It could just be my phone...
...this is not a flame...I'm addicted to the game...and I'm quite happy to have it in my phone
I cannot find it in market.
I can use appbrain to sync to my phone, scan barcodes, search, it never comes up. Anyone else with this problem?

Next generation of windows phone looking nice.

Although I have kind of distanced myself from Windows, phone and pc, the next iteration looks very promising. This of will increase competition which is always a good thing. Now if I could only pull myself from androids amazing ability of complete customization I'd actually consider a WP.
Of course this depends on if I like Windows 8 pc.

Its would be really hard to compete with the android platform. There's alot of distrust with windows. But they are nice.
Cool, will consider getting a wp device.
$1 gets you a reply
I know someone with a windows phone, they are pretty nice and run very smooth... I would get one BUT I love Android more
It will be interesting to see what the next gen looks like though, I will prob play with one in a store somewhere and Windows 8 looks pretty good and I liked it when I used the Developer Preview but that would just be for my pc..
The next version which could still be near a year out will get what Android has now.
The reason they run so smooth is because there's nothing on it.. give it 100mb of ram and it'd run as if we had 2gb of ram on our phone xD Haha but the phones are there I just don't feel like the idea is complete with wp7/8

I was interested in a windows phone too, but the lack of apps it has at the moment drew me away. I'm all for being different and what not, but not if it's going to cost me!
WinPhone's UI is the fuggliest thing I've ever seen. Looks like a Playskool or Sesame Street phone UI.

Really just not a fan of the LOOK of the OS itself, i'm sure it's lovely to use and the hardware will be just as good as any other, but still can't bring myself to use one
sure as hell looks a lot better than any of the crap skins these android handset makers come up with
Its kind of like sailing , a huge cruise liner takes miles to turn around where a little ski do can do it instantly. Microsoft is going to take a long time to turn its huge cooperation around towards the right direction in this new market. Where as Android like the ski doo is just living it up.
Will be interesting to see where/if it progresses. Too boring for me right now lol.

Most of the hottest iOS games ARE available to Android users. If it's not even available for iOS yet, then what makes you think it won't come to Android?
That's what I got told on another site, iv got a iPhone and the Sony experia play and the amount of high quality games on Ios by the big developer companys is unreal :-( it's just what I see with looking at Ios app store games n andriod game it's disgusting how favoritism Ios gets with games and apps

The only reason why the iOS is so popular, is because it's so simple.
Again though, just because it's coming out on iOS first, doesn't mean Android won't get it. Don't get discouraged, you could even send the Developer an email asking if they plan for Android OS support.
I believe that most game developers release their titles for iOS first (due to having to support only a few devices), then bring their games over to Android (where they have to support several more devices).

The iphone is the most popular single phone so a dev can get the game out to a larger group of people with less development. Games on android often require separate files for different gpus I've noticed. Some games will onlh be for tegra and not work on powervr for example. It would be nice if android had something universal for devs like directx on windows so that all gpus with enough power would work.
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk
And the biggest reason of all. Android apps and games are selling very small quantities compared to their iOS counterpart, they don't get much money in return.

Not to mention the gpu on the 4s is 2x more powerful than what the current Android handset has. I'm referring to the Mali on the current Exynos devices in case anyone was wondering.

Yeh I think google n phone manufacturers need to sit down and sort this out because all it seems to be doing is discouraging game devs from bringing games to the andriod market I understand that, lets hope they bang there heads together because to me it's not working!

I am with you on it. I may play half an hour in 2 months while waiting at a docs office or something. Life just doesn't allow for the time when you mix, work, family and friends.
i dont play games on my phone but if the phone in some way reaches my GFs hand then its a different story and i can wave a big goodbye to my battery
As for IOS getting the latest games i think its because if they release it for iphone it will be a lot easier to implement due to having it on all iphones quickly. Androids problem is that manufacturers nowadays use different components in there phones making it take much more work to develop and application/game for all android devices

Because iOS users actually pay for apps, Android side loading makes pirating software do easy that a mentally challenged chimp could do it. There's also an issue of fragmentation and crappy SDK, which makes Android less attractive to devs.

Hardcore Gaming

So I am a huge android gamer. I do not have a pc except at work and i do not have any console systems at home. I am really loving the development that is going on with some stuff Ive seen. Unity 3d and cloud gaming is gonna be huge i think.
My goal with this thread is to try to gather some of us android gamers together. I play all day at work and at home. I need something more than Modern Combat 4 haha. Its a great game but im looking for some huge sprawler. I have seen wildblood from gameloft, looks amazing. I am trying to figure out what people are playing on this device. maybe develop a little support thread for us gamers to unite and share what we have found with each other. I havent really been able to find anything about it anywhere for our device. seems all the attention is always on the one x. our phones are powerful....lets unleash it!
I agree. I'm down to play whatever multi player/coop games we have. Let me know!!
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
re
I would be too. I guess MC4 multi is only on wifi, but im sure there are some good things out there. I really am sort of enjoying Aralon. Played it?
Am i to assume that really no one plays any games on our device?!
Its too small to do any serious gaming on
What do you mean too small? I play stuff on it all the time. Classic games for sure. I even tried OnLive and demoed the free demo for Darksiders 2 and it worked awesome. Im trying to figure out pairing my ps3 controller for better use, but you could even do mhl out and play dead trigger and whatnot with a ps3 controller. Havent heard of the Ouya? well our phone is powerful as well, i see no need to buy a console when i have one in my hand.
Figuring out compatibility with games that I know the unit could run, i.e. Horn and Six Guns. Let me know if anyone is interested in this as well, I think we should work together as I see no real gaming support community out there. If anyone knows one please let me know.
Too small: When using touchkeys, your fingers covers half the screen and you cant see where youre going
Controller, sure, but unless you have one that can dock the phone, you face another problem - the screen is too far away and therefore too small.
Now a tablet on the other hand have plenty of space for your fingers and can easily be seen when using a controller
So, therefore: The One S is too small for serious gaming
Edit: Whats wrong with six guns? Seems to work just fine?
gameklip acttaches phone to controller. i can play fine with touch controls, maybe youre not a good gamer.
woa that was uncalled for. In that case - maybe youre an 8 year old girl with paperthin fingers?
maybe, im just saying that why should i have multiple devices? i already have a powerful device.
No one said that. You asked if you were to assume nobody played games on the one S, and I answered "its too small" as the reason as to why I dont play 'hardcore' on it.
And Im sure Im not alone.
well thats a great answer i guess. Now as far as people that would actually like to do so? any input there?

MOGA Gamepad

not to sure if this would fall under our forums as a development but it was only developed for android so maybe if could sit in the dev forum if not it can be moved to were ever it would situated ( im assuming the acces page ) but this pad is quite nice granted at 49.99 + tax it's not bad it's like 59.99 + tax at toy's r us other then the price this works great for any gamer that has the older like gameboy rom's or snes emulators etc it is quite a impressive piece of hardware and it's lightweight

Ya last week they were giving them away but I couldn't get it fast enough I was pissed u just had to pay for shipping... But anyway this controller works for modern combat 4 and a bunch of new games... going forward it'll work with most top tier games also so I Def will be getting one as soon as I have an extra 60 bucks
!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!PLEASE click THANKS if I helped!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!
Wrong section soldier !!!
Not only that, but this thing doesn't seem like a good product. Here's why:
It requires an app on the phone to relay your commands into the game. This means that it has extremely limited game compatibility.
The PSP style analog nubs as your only movement interface make this thing a joke.
The only thing this has going for it is the clever system of attaching the phone to the controller then when the phone is not being used for gaming...folds back into the controller itself. There are numerous options right now for attaching a phone to the controller, but most of them are the same size when they are not being used as when they are.
In short....I see only *ONE* advantage of using this over something like a gameklip. There are so many reasons why you would not want to use it though.

i have to agree the "joysticks" need to be digital because it would make them alot more responsive within games and they need to be "looser" to allow for faster movement of your thumbs like the xbox sticks those are more fluent in movement then this moga is but i play the older SNES games on my emulator and it works "alright" ( mortal kombat not so good lol ) anyways theres gonna be more improvment so ill just keep my receipt lol if it gets any worse
