Is there a game where you control a career criminal, comitting various crimes and, perhaps, climb some kind of organizational/hierarchical ladder? I'm thinking simulation rather than storybased, and graphics could be whatever (or simply text-based). Closest thing I've come is Liberal Crime Squad and the GTA-series (opposite sides of the spectrum), and they're not really what I'm looking for now. If it is in the management genre it's fine, but the strategy genre is otherwise off limits. Games like Omerta and Gangland, while fun, are not what I'm looking for.

Is Gangsters 2 too strategy-like? I quite enjoyed it. There was the free to play MMO called APB where you could play a criminal or vigilante and do missions etc.

And there's gangster 1. You plan your actions for the day (or was itr a week?) and watch your guys do what you planned during the management phase. You can take direct control of your guys on the map but generally you either shouldn't or don't have to limiting you to just watching your plans play out.

I'm looking for some kind of strategy game that I can play while doing other things:
- Windowed or borderless windowed preferred
- Can't be turn-based
- No brainless incremental (clicker/idle) games please

DEFCON is good for that. Very slow burn.

I want to make progress while I'm tabbed out. I like playing Stronghold and Creeper World at the lowest speed and just checking it every once in a while.

DEFCON is good for that. Very slow burn.
Yarp! Love that game.

Anyone know of android games (preferably ones on Google Play?) that don't require a constant internet connection and have female characters that...aren't stereotyped?
* Tiruin just wants to play games on her phone with female protagonists. >.>

Preferably within the genre of adventure, survival, simulation, and strategy.
Because searching up games with the idea of female protagonist usually always leads to...dress-up games, fashion games, and other things I'm not interested in >_>

Edit: Hopefully in the 'free' category. ._. Other than Temple Run 2.

You can play text adventures on an android using Twisty:

There are many free to play with female protagonists: http://ifdb.tads.org/search?sortby=ratu&newSortBy.x=0&newSortBy.y=0&searchfor=tag%3Afemale+protagonist
Eep! ._.; I should've specified 'non interactive fiction', as I've a ton of those already x_x (CYOA! ♥)
And some of those aren't for the android. Looking for games for it (preferably on Google Play).
But thanks a ton! :D

I don't really game on android much but if you are willing to shell out some money there are some games with lady protagonists.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.squareenix.tombraider1classic&hl=en

Sadly most free games are indeed dressups and MMOs with "gurls" sporting watermelon grade boobs.

After looking into ther RPG section i found this.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.igg.android.bloodblade&hl=en

Again i don't really use my android tablet for more than emulation so i can't really say if it's good or not.

Any well-written games akin to Undertale? Not necessarily the same gameplay or even themes, just really, really well written games?

Well i kinda liked Flight of the Sages and it had some fun dialogue between your character and Neo but i can't say that it's universally well written.
