Square Enix bounces back and forth when it comes to the severity of their DRM protection. Some Final Fantasy games require an online check every time you open the game. Others don't. Final Fantasy IV in particular is even listed on Google's offline Android games list. All of the games are 20-30 hours long with deep story lines, have excellent soundtracks, and simple enough mechanics. A few of the games are playable offline. However, you may need to occasionally open the app with a web connection to get the DRM check. It should be playable for a while offline after that. Thus, we list these ass pseudo-offline rather than entirely offline experiences. You may need to check before the refund time expires and they are rather expensive.

Eternium
Eternium
Price: Freemium
DOWNLOAD ON GOOGLE PLAY
Eternium is one of only a few freemium RPGs that requires no internet connection. This is an action RPG. You run around, sling magic, kill bad guys, and explore various ruins and dungeons. Of course, you also get a story line, tons of loot to collect, and plenty of stuff to do. It plays like most mobile action RPGs. However, you don't have to connect to a server to play anything. You do have to make sure the latest content is downloaded, though. Otherwise the game may not function as expected. It's a freemium game, but it's not aggressively so. It's one of the most successful action RPGs on mobile for a reason.

Hooky Crook
Hooky Crook
Price: Free / Up to $2.99
DOWNLOAD ON GOOGLE PLAY
Hooky Crook is one of the newer offline games. It's an action-platformer with some puzzle elements. You control a cat burglar and it's also a cat. You use swipe gestures to sling the cat around while avoiding obstacles and bad guys. Players win when they reach the end of the level. The game features 84 levels, simple controls, kid-friendly content, and leaderboards. The leaderboards won't update while offline. However, the offline mode does work quite well with this game. It's a decent little time killer and it's also relatively inexpensive. The developers also promise more levels in future updates. We hope they follow through.
