About

Offline Arcade started as a shared spreadsheet during a long train trip through a valley with zero reception. We were bored, our phones were full of games that refused to launch, and we ended up making a list of the few titles that actually ran without WiFi. That list grew into this site.,We are a tiny group of writers and long-time mobile players based in Europe. Nobody here is paid by a studio. When we cover a game, one of us installs it, plays it for several sessions, and only then writes about it. If a game phones home constantly or breaks in airplane mode, it doesn't make the cut.,Games get picked for two reasons: they run offline, and they respect your time. We care about controls, save systems, and whether a game keeps being fun after the first hour. Genre doesn't matter much to us, so you'll find role-playing games sitting next to racers and quiet puzzle collections.,We update the catalogue when we find something worth your storage space. If we got something wrong, tell us, and we'll replay it.
