Does anyone have any recommendations of Android rogue-lites or Western RPGs?

Specifically, I'm looking for games that:
- Cost $5 or less
- Are single-player (I don't mind the presence of a multiplayer mode; I just don't want any required multiplayer elements)
- Have fun combat (whether action or tactical)
- Have combat that doesn't rely heavily on random numbers--for example, I might enjoy The Binding of Isaac, Our Darker Purpose or Rogue Legacy, but not Rogue itself, since combat in Rogue is essentially just a comparison of random numbers.
- If Western RPGs, have a decent story
- Ideally have little to no grinding
- Aren't full of pop-ups, ads, etc.
- Don't rely on micro-transactions

It's possible that I'm asking a bit much here, especially given the restriction on price, but it seems worth asking.

Thank you for the recommendation! I appreciate it. Quest of Dungeons has been added to my list of candidates. ^_^

Does anyone make a mono user, mono tasking O.S. for modern computers? I'm thinking of what we had with old 8 bit machines, they powered up to a BASIC interpreter and used BASIC command to load, save and run programs. I could have the same feeling through an emulator but it's not the same.

Bringing a console game on PC (and vice versa) is called "porting", right? If so, wold it be grammatically correct to say...

1-FF13 is a bad console porting

or

2-FF13 is a bad console port?

In many comments, I often see both; I would go for the first one, but I'm not so sure it is correct. (Isn't "port" a synonym of "harbor"?)

I stand to be corrected, but to the best of my knowledge "port" is the general usage:

"This is a console port."
"We ported it to PC."
"We are porting it to XBox."
"We will port it to PS2."

Looking at Dictionary.com (definition 4), I notice that this definition of the word is only given as a verb, so it's possible that the noun-form hasn't settled in its usage yet. At the least I do think that "port" sounds better as a noun-form than "porting" to my ear.

It is, but that's a different (albeit related in etymology, I imagine) use of the word. "Port" is also the name of a type of alcoholic beverage, I believe.

If the definition is correct, it seems you are right. "Port ->porting: To translate or modify software to run on a different platform, or the results of doing so".
Thanks! :)

Yes, it is a famous Portuguese dessert wine (Porto). Very, very good, imo, yet often also quite expensive.
