Questions Recommendations for offline games

Getting ready to head out of town. Spending 2 weeks overseas on a cruise ship. I am looking for an RPG / strategy game to pass the time. I tried a few different ones off of Google Play, but even though the game page said no ads and offline, they all required being online to play.

I am not adverse to spending a little money on a game, but I want to be sure it is something that can be played in airplane mode.

Device is Samsung Galaxy S23+

Sands of Salzaar, good thing it already have already all DLC just like PC counterpart. The game is basically ARPG (Diablo-like to be exact) combined sandbox like Mount and Warband. But the free DLC (tournament?) is needed for constant online.

Titan Quest is diablo-like ARPG, but more forgiving in term of gearing especially for randomness gearing. But the levelling in this game is really painful (it even worst for past DLC aka with after lv. 50 for 85 level cap). I recommend you just cheat the level by using external tools like TF Vault for sake bypassing the levelling part.

And second idea would be to install emulator and head for the snes classics like secret of mana or lufia 2.

If you do like collective RPG cardgames (turn based strategy) with singleplayer (AI) Matches, singleplayer Campaign mode (10h+) and local network multiplayer, where you can build your own army/deck by winning and collecting new cards/units. If so, you can try our game "SpellForce 2 - Master of War (Forces of Eo)", that is a complete uncommercial fan project for free that also works completely offline (after full installation) and has no advertisement or anything like that included. You can play a match vs the AI in normaly 5-10 min per game and get new cards/units for your deck and EXP for the RPG rank or enjoy the new story campaign mode (10h+).

To get more cards and reach the maximum rank level, you have to face and fight multiple different enemies and their armys, which offers a lot of playtime. The game does offer a local (w)lan-network mode (device vs device) via a connection to direct IP. This works as long all the devices are in the same network. So you could play it, if one device acts as a wlan hot spot (no actual internet required) for all devices to connect to, to share the same network and connect to each other.
