Hey xda-ers
I've been on the cm9 beta for a little while now and it seems like there are a lot of games that work quite well in the alpha and some that are a screen-tearing, frame-dropping mess. So I have the idea to start up this thread, a thread primarily dedicated to sharing which games work really well on cm9. I personally will be posting review sort of things on here that go quite in-depth but you guys can post in however much detail you want. You can post about the hardest of hardcore games to the easiest of casual games but as long as its relevant it will hopefully be appreciated. I do want to have a couple of rules for this thread and they're as follows:
*No bashing other peoples reviews or opinions- everyone is entitled to their own opinion and while I'm ok with a respectful discussion I don't want flame wars in here.
*Please keep it relevant to cm9- this thread is about _cm9_ gaming, I don't care if you go and make a gaming thread for a different rom but I don't want posts about cm7 or MIUI in here.
*have fun- don't feel obligated to post something if you don't want to. Try to have fun in here and I'll try to too.
Well thanks guys I hope we can all help each other find some good games to play, please follow the rules and hopefully this will be a nice thread to be in.
Help make this community a little nicer guys!
Thanks

Well I'll be kicking things off!
My first recommendation/review:
Dungeon Defenders: Second wave
Overview-
Dungeon defenders is a mix between a tower defense fantasy game and a traditional 3d RPG. The main premise is that the kingdoms heroes have gone off to defeat some great evil and have left their kids to guard the castle. In each area/map there is an eternia crystal that you have to set up towers and traps and such to defend from the waves of monsters.
Gameplay-
Gameplay is mainly governed by one of four classes each with their own play styles and pros/cons.
The apprentice-
The long ranged, magic user who places down towers that shoot long range projectiles.
The apprentice is the easiest class to use and is by far the best for beginners as his towers are the easiest to start off with and his skills are easy to understand and use.
The huntress-
The long ranged, assassin class.
The huntress wields either a crossbow or gun that deals long ranged damage and places down traps that activate when stepped on by monsters. The huntress can be somewhat hard to use due to her slightly less straightforward traps.
The squire-
The close ranged tank.
The squire combines melee attacks with brutal close ranged towers to destroy enemies quickly up close.
The Knight has some of the best starter towers in the game but he is at somewhat of a disadvantage without teammates to back him up due to his only close range play style.
The monk-
The all around skillful class.
The monk combines the first three classes in a Jack of all trades sort of play style. He has a melee attack as well as a long ranged magic attack with towers that deal different affects when stepped on by enemies. He is definately the hardest class to play due to his lack of a prominent skill and towers that need some getting used to and upgrades to really learn how to use effectively.
So once you've chosen a class its time to jump into the game.
There's a helpful tutorial that you can jump into but its not a super complicated game at first. Each map is made up of different rounds. At the end of each round chests will appear with Mana in them, the currency you use to build towers and buy or upgrade things after the round has ended. You also get mana from killing the various mobs that spawn throughout the wave. You also earn xp that goes towards level ups that let you carry more mana and unlocks new towers for you to build. Also when you level up you can attribute skill points to different skills such as player or tower damage, health, speed etc etc. Monsters also drop random items which you can equip or sell in between rounds.
After the round is over you can buy and sell weapons and armor, and upgrade you currently have equipped. The sheer number of weapons and upgrades you can apply to them makes it easy to make sure no two are the same.
Multiplayer-
The multiplayer element of this game is WHERE ITS AT! This game really shines through and its super easy to jump into a match and start playing as long as you have a good internet connection (which at time of writing I didn't). All you need to do is sign up for a game spy account which while can sometimes be a hassle keeps the hackers and cheaters out and keeps the fun consistent. Once you've made that account you can quick join a game or open up a server browser to pick between maps, difficulties and game modes. Once you join its smooth sailing and the different classes are very well designed to overlap and coordinate together in the multi player game modes. If you can get several friends to get this you will have a great time indeed.
Controls-
There aren't too many options for the controls but overall they're not too bad. The way to move your character is to rotate the wheel-ish joystick in the left portion of the screen. That controls both movement and direction mind you so it might take a little bit to get used to but once you do its just fine. Its hard to describe exactly how to use it because I've never seen another control scheme like it. The buttons around the other edges of the screen control other movement controls such as jumping or attacking, as well as selecting what towers to build (actual placement is done through touch input) or what abilities to activate or spells to cast. The game defaults to having the actual movement touchpad being invisible but that seems really stupid so I recommend turning that off in the settings. So while not completely perfect the controls are definately usable and should be relatively easy to learn for most users.
Graphics/Performance on cm9-
The game has a graphics slider that allows you to go from HD crisp graphics to blurry pixelated retro goodness. On the highest graphics setting the screen tearing really sets in but on lower resolution on the slider you can get very good performance on cm9. Overall it performs quite well with no hw accel and it will only get better once we get full acceleration.
Verdict-
Overall this game offers up some great RPG game play mixed in with some tower defense elements and kick ass multi player. The controls are manageable and if you want to have some long term fun, (as you can go quite in depth) this is a great choice and for a free game it couldn't be a better deal. I'd recommend it to any Android gamer and its a great game.
Price: Free

Love the idea of this thread
I'd love to contribute but I've found that with cm9 I haven't been able to find most of my favorite games on the market
Yeah, that's a problem, although most of them would run. Try using Apk leecher on your PC and then side loading them. Might work, but I'm not sure if you can download paid apps even if you've bought them.

One thing that doesn't work is using three fingers to access the menu. I get around this by opening up the recent apps thing and closing it, which then pauses the game, opening the menu.
Also, swiping to slow down/speed up the game does not seem to work as well.
Draw Something, Angry bird's, Sonic CD and Plants vs Zombies work great
Unfortunately my favorites don't show up and I'd love to test them
Shadowgun, FIFA 12, Modern Combat 3, Asphalt 6, Riptide GP, and NOVA 2

I find all games I've played so far worked well especially Cut the Rope experiments. My only complaint was that play store didn't work for me I don't know if that's a known problem but felt it should be mentioned. Though back on topic the games I've tried so far play smooth.

With the default cm9 build.prop the gameloft games dont work. I'll try modifying mine to look like a Droid 3 (which worked fine for cm7) and get back to you on that. I'll also mention their performance too. If I get the chance to DL the big-ass game data.

Haven't changed my build.prop because no one has said it is OK to do so as of yet nor what i would change. I like the play store recognizing the nook as a tablet as well
You know... it's funny. Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, mupen64plus emulator, ran with amazing speed in CM7. However the video and colors were kinda bad. Like buttons just looked weird, and sometimes there would be random squares.
HOWEVER. On CM9, the video and graphics are superlative. However, it lags obviously. Not TOO much... I mean it's definitely playable, but if you are fighting Gannondorf it's kind of annoying. Hopefully rebellos will get this kind of thing working for us.

Was on engadget today and saw that rockstar is going to release GTA 3 for the following devices.

Think we have a shot or not enough power?
We definitely don't have enough power because we can barely run any of the higher end games (shadowgun) I'm sure that well be able to get it running, but probably terribly. Also this game doesn't even have that great of graphics... just bad optimization

Shadowgun runs fine for me on one of the later nightlies overclocked to 1.2ghz. I also have GangStar running with no issues to.

GT racing, Asphalt 6, Modern Combat 2, Sacred Odyssey all run great for me. That being said with Gameloft already having Gangstar (which runs great BTW) there isn't much need for an actual GTA. GTA3 might be worth it if there was a way to put the Real GTA mod on it.
fine, fine maybe shadowgun was a bad example but what about 9mm, riptide, fast five, dungeon defenders, etc. those don't even force you to have a dual core device... remember we're pushing 1024x600(thats 614,400) pixels of 3D on old hardware... also I'm not so sure about the definition of "it runs fine" these days. Some people seem to convince themselves that things run great when they're not (myself included)

How did you get the crosshair in the middle, the damage indication, and the dragable looking area to fill the whole screen??? I've tried tons of different versions to no avail I've even looked at your thread and used the version listed to no avail. thanks in advance
yea gangstar makes gta3 look kind of dated.
I did notice a bunch of slowdowns trying high quality games on my Nook however a second later I noticed I was running on the conservative governor and facepalmed myself.
Switched to performance governor and everything was a breeze...
One way or another, we won't know until it's released, right?
I wouldn't be surprised if it runs. The NC is a little gem. That said, how is it going to playable on a touchscreen? And... an honest question... is GTA III really that fun? I just picked it up in a steam pack and it didn't take too long for me to move onto Vice City (and then stop playing that a little while later). It'll probably be more impressive to run on a phone/tablet but it felt like an early tech demo compared to a lot of "modern" games.

The entire screen is bound to controls, take a look at the picture of it on engadget... its a little overwhelming
Touchscreen controls urgh...
I still pair a PS3 Controller via Bluetooth every time I play PS1 / N64 games on my Nook... I really hope they add Bluetooth Controller support to the game.
Yeah, having real controller support would be nice. I did see the screenshots, and it's just really hard to play games with a virtual d-pad and even just *two* buttons (to me), let alone 6 or 8, especially when it includes what are supposed to be shoulder buttons.
On a side note, I mucked around a little with the onlive app, and that suffers from the same thing (the virtual controls). That said, OnLive does have newer, more compelling games, although it requires a constant, good data connection.
Nook Color seems to me to be able to push Dreamcast level graphics at 1024x600. Most games with that level of graphics seem to run at around 20-30fps at best.
The main reason GTA3 is so much more demanding than seems reasonable is that it's a sandbox game with a large, open world. It's not all that much different than say Elder Scrolls.
Game is out now and market says it should work on the NC. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rockstar.gta3 Anyone got it to work?
It hangs Nook dead rght after intro movies. CM 7.1.0 Stable.
With chainfire nvidia plugin,screen stays black upon launching the app
soooo I take it as a no go. Darn. Well it works on my electrify but as stated earlier the controls take up way to much room. I'll try a wiimote I guess.
Anyone have any luck getting this to run? Would think it would be possible to and to control it with a PS3 controller connected via bluetooth.
Got it to work! Download GTA 3 version 1.1, use chainfire 3D and set default plugin to POWERVR, awful cellphone video below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKN9QRGq09E
EDIT: Will test more in the morning, jump to 1:00 to see 30 seconds of "gameplay" before I flip the car
why do we have to use the powervr plugin? nook color actually has a powervr gpu
I didnt need any plug in. I installed CM7 last night and gta was in "my apps" and it runs better than on my shift. Lol

I'm sure most of you have seen the game demo's shown on the Prime, including Riptide, Shadowgun, Glowball ...etc, I am yet to see Tegra games such as the following:
Galaxy on Fire 2 - this should look amazing!
Shine Runner - hoverboat racing
HISTORY Great Battles Medieval - this was first tested on the nvidia quad-core reference tablet, which revealed how smooth a strategy game like this could be played
Zen Pinball - funky twist on pinball
Vendetta Online - another space game, but centred around MMO
Bang Bang Racing
Dark Meadow - another game to look forward to. Good visuals and an interesting storyline
I really hope other gaming company's head towards Android development in the near future, the mear fact that there are thousands of roms for various emulators and can be played with a ps3/xbox remote is a huge +
However I would like to see more PC like games possibly ported onto Android, for example Homeworld/Homeworld Cataclysm, Command & Conquer series, Half-life/Portal series, Borderlands...to name a few. I'm not sure where the community stands on this type of development, I'm sure it's not an easy task, but it has to be possible as it would grab alot of interest. I'm not saying necessarily the brand new releases, but at least some of the classic's that we know and love which would be ideal for some mobile gaming.
Just a thought, but share your ideas and suggestions
Porting from x86 environment (PC) is not an easy thing. And good games need good controls, even though we are at the point where gamepads are finally supported i dont think devs can make games that depend on it. So alot of games wont really work with touchscreen controls.
I think the best thing we can do if we want good games is pay for the ones that will come out on tegra3, so the companies make some money out of it.
And if you count alle the Tegra2+Tegra3 games + gameloft + other companies + emulator you get alot of good games already available. This Tablet is not thought as a replacment for my Desktop gaming pc.
Get onlive app and you can play all the great pc games.

NVidia has collaborated with a lot of game development teams (as you can see in most games credits), and Asus is the manager of the "Republic of Gamers" community. It should be time for them to push the developers to create good Android games. Anyway, a good game usually means more than a year of development. Providing how long has been Android alive, and how long has it been a smooth enough OS... my guess is game developers will start moving towards it but games will take its time to come.

I'm hoping for a Torchlight or Torchlight 2 port or version that works it's way to Android because I feel Action RPG would work great on a touch screen and since Torchlight has a netbook mode I feel it would run awesome on Tegra 2-3.
I'm also interested in Onlive but I'm concerned about bandwidth because I have a 6mb DSL connection and my wife and kids use netflix as the primary source of TV. I guess I could head over to evil charter but then the price doubles...
Anyway, I feel that we will get some AAA titles for android in 2012 and it will spike even further from there... I expect some good augmented reality games and some 3d action from Nvidia as well. =)

When Google merges Chrome into Android it should get much better. At least we would get Bastion. I see Android on the forefront on games on mobile device with stuff like Tegra, but with different capabilities per device there is not much incentive to make a really spectacular game that only runs on a few devices.

Yes!! I got Onlive on my Prime and used my Wiimote. Very awkward and had to download the wiimote conroller app. I plan to get the Onlive contoller or get a wireless controller.
The new Batman looka amazing on the Onlive app! I had no lag either. I got 1 month FREE Player pack Bundle, which is normally $9.99. with a promo code from Chevy. Awesome app.
Riptide gp looks incredible on the prime and is fun to play. The tegra 3, does make a difference.

The games you mentioned are OK. The highlights are Dark Meadow and the Pc games you listed. I'm looking for more hardcore oriented games now. I had ShineRunner on iPad. It was cool but same ol really. Riptide much better although same people make it. I'm getting tired of the kiddy oriented simple games. Bring Metro 2033 or Batman Arkham city. Or would love to see some over the top FPS, maybe something from Broken Sword series, or maybe a tegra3 version of Dead Space.
Like you said, a really good, in depth game will take at least a year to develop. Only thing is with as fast as these tablets come out with newer, more powerful hardware, the development has to be shorter. Unless made in advance to run on future hardware specs also. Until I seen OnLive, I've been sleeping on PC games. I was always more of console type gamer. I cant front though, the games I've seen for Pc are sick as a Mofo on OnLive. PC versions of console games usually better or better graphics n extras. Mobile platform gaming needs more hardcore oriented games. Games that take a good amount of time to beat. Has to be more in depth. I'd love for Bethesda to make an Elder scrolls version for us. I miss playing that game. I had it when it came out for xbox one, the Morrowind version.
I think OnLive may be our only access to these type of gsmes till developers start producing these type games. ShadowGun is cool but I have it for iPad n just about beat it. I need more than that. Bladeslinger looks cool but very similar to infinity blade, which I have infinity blade 2 already. I want more games like Dead Space. That game is very well put together n always scare the sh€£ outta me when playing. That's how into I be, especially when playing with headphones on. I understand a tablet is supposed tp be pick up n go type device, but we need a more I intimate gaming experience. For some people, this tablet will be the only form of gaming they have. Like me. I no longer have console systems. My iPad is my sole device to fulfill my gaming desires. I have all the best games, IMO. So along with being a productivity device, I hope the Prime can continue my love of gaming also. I know IOS has way more games, but I have e feeling the tegra3 will open doors to some serious games to come. We need more unreal and doom3 type engine powered gsmes. Those usually produce the best visuals and gameplay. I like the more simple games also but I'm really looking for games to really make you think and put up a great challenge..

I know right. I love those type action/horror games. I've never had a game like dead space scare me so much before..lol..n I loved it. Just looking for more engaging games that really pull you into the experience.
Grand Theft Auto 3 is coming this month, I thought tomorrow but not sure. I saw that added to the Tegra Zone today and Soulcraft
For me the best game is Dizzy, but you don't need Tegra3 for that, I know. Still, I hope more games like that will be available (and more Dizzy games get ported).

This was also said about Tegra3:
- Sébastien Deguy, CEO and Founder at Allegorithmic
“Tegra 3’s quad-core processor and 12-core GPU allows developers to port PC and console game titles using BitSquid Tech for the same great experience on any device. From a hard-core gamer’s customized PC to a phone or tablet with Tegra, you’ll get identical game play and buttery smooth graphics, anywhere any time."
- Benjamin Lee, Managing Director at Blowfish Studios
”Thanks to Tegra 3′s fantastic GPU performance we were able to use the same quality textures in Zombie Driver THD as on the PC. The outstanding quad-core CPU performance makes it possible to support Tegra game development in parallel to other high-end platforms.”
Some more details:
The GPU is also significantly more powerful than the Tegra 2 GPU, with up to 3x performance, while also adding other graphics features such as dynamic lighting, which they say no other current mobile GPU has that. Dynamic lighting makes for much more realistic environments and gaming experiences.
The game developers working on Tegra 3 games say that the 4 CPU’s help a lot with in-game damage effects, animated textures, weather effects and so on. So don’t be surprised if games made for Tegra 3 actually look better than other games made for other GPU’s, even if those GPU’s manage to get higher score in synthetic benchmarks (I’m looking at you A5/PowerVR SGX543Mp2).
Now this is very promising details!

SoulCraft beta is out for Tegra 3 devices
https://market.android.com/details?id=de.mobilebits.soulcraft
interesting game, mind you though it is beta and I'm sure there are bugs and problems but i haven't had any yet
it doesn't give you to many instructions so you kinda have to figure it out yourself
it kinda reminds me of Diablo a little bit
give it a shot
JB out
Thanks for the heads up. Should be on my Prime when I get home.
I tried it out Very briefly. I didn't like it. It wasn't what I thought. I didn't like the way you shoot/use your weapon. seemed very tedious and not practical the way you fight the wave of monsters. Plus I couldn't tell a difference playing online vs. offline. Some of the spells and special powers you use are cool. I ran into some bugs. The controls kept freezing up and I couldn't move. then other times I could move but my weapon button didn't want to work. In the heat of the action the game kept pausing although I never pressed pause button. it came from the attack button.
Overall the game has potential but seems more like a tegra2 game. Hence the reason description says either tegra2 or tegra3 can play it. This was not optimized for tegra3. The top down view of everything doesn't really do this game any justice graphics wise.If the graphics are nothing to get excited over then it better have some killer gameplay. The loading screens looked cool and made you think you in store for something big. I personally couldn't get into enough. Seemed tedious having the monsters just all swarm you. Alot of things need to be done to make this game better. Make gameplay go smoother and possibly zoom up the came more to show more details of the scenery and action. Main thing is changing the way you attack. Having to hold button down and arrow pointing to where you shooting is too much and adds to clutter of screen. This is a beta though so I'm sure it'll get alot better and major things will be changed/improved.
I agree. Game play is kinda meh. I was expecting more out of it. It also stuttered from time to time. I think its more for tegra 2 devices since I dont experience the stutter on my acer a100. Either way I wouldnt buy this game.

I tried it out Very briefly. I didn't like it. It wasn't what I thought. I didn't like the way you shoot/use your weapon. seemed very tedious and not practical the way you fight the wave of monsters. Plus I couldn't tell a difference playing online vs. offline. Some of the spells and special powers you use are cool. I ran into some bugs. The controls kept freezing up and I couldn't move. then other times I could move but my weapon button didn't want to work. In the heat of the action the game kept pausing although I never pressed pause button. it came from the attack button.
Overall the game has potential but seems more like a tegra2 game. Hence the reason description says either tegra2 or tegra3 can play it. This was not optimized for tegra3. The top down view of everything doesn't really do this game any justice graphics wise.If the graphics are nothing to get excited over then it better have some killer gameplay. The loading screens looked cool and made you think you in store for something big. I personally couldn't get into enough. Seemed tedious having the monsters just all swarm you. Alot of things need to be done to make this game better. Make gameplay go smoother and possibly zoom up the came more to show more details of the scenery and action. Main thing is changing the way you attack. Having to hold button down and arrow pointing to where you shooting is too much and adds to clutter of screen. This is a beta though so I'm sure it'll get alot better and major things will be changed/improved.

Pretty Much had this same experience last night. The combat was downright akward but it was 1 in the morning. will try it again today.
I'be been playing t on nd off since the hour it was released. Its not that bad, but needs to be optimized or Tegra 3.

I actually enjoyed it (Only played the first couple of levels).
Needs more work, but had some fun. I agree, the combat wasn't exactly what I expected and could be improved upon.
At this stage, with 1 Tegra3 tablet in existance (and supply still extremely low), I don't think many companies will see the benefit of making Tegra 3 exclusive games. Hopefully with time.
Pretty dissapointing for such a hyped up game... To me its just another skinned gun bros game with bad graphics...
So far I'm pretty dissapointed with all tegra 3 games.
Shadowgun thd, tegra 3 version is choppy at times exp during boss fights.
Motogp thd, tegra 3 version is randomly choppy during races.
Even samurai 2 has the usual choppyness at the start of each level (I suppose its loading animations, but still wtf).
Hopefully it will get some real games soon that can atleast compete with ipad 2.
And what's with asus changing specs every month? First tegra 3 was a quad 1.5ghz, then 1.4 and now their adverising it as 1.3...
I bought mine when it was 1.4 but according to setcpu and other system information tools it is clearly only 1.3ghz quad core...

1.4 when using one core and 1.3 using up to 4 cores.
They better hide the back n home button. While playing if you hit any of those, you get booted off. No quick resume

Same here...along with Glowball no longer working, Siegecraft is very buggy as well. Oh and all my benchmark scores have decreased as well and battery life isnt great anymore as i was getting 12-15 hours with no charge and now I can only get about 8...what happened...Im seriously thinking of reverting back to HC until I hear some good news with ICS.
I was excited to see this beta come out, I remember watching the youtube video of its amazing graphics and all of its potential.
I could not have been any more disappointed.
The graphics quality seems high in terms of polygon count, but the textures look low res and the "jagged edges" on the models make it painful to look at.
It isnt very responsive to fast movements either, in fact it struggles to keep up. Far from fluid. There is definitely a ton of optimization to be done, so it may look much better closer to release.
The gameplay itself is best described as clunky and cumbersome. The whole idea of the charging weapon attacks just doesn't feel right.
Kiting mobs on a boss level is a pain because you get caught on nearly every object; and they throw weapons constantly so if you get stuck on something you get wailed on.
Inventory/Character screen needs retooling to be more intuitive and easier to use.
Also, I don't support free-to-play-but-pay-to-enjoy business models. It often means an unpleasant experience for users who don't want to spend $50 on a game. I would rather drop $5-$10 for a full featured game.
Strange, on ICS, GTA III and Glowball work absolutely perfectly.
List your absolute top ANDROID games
This thread was created to bring awareness to ANDROID tablet users of games worth mentioning from the ANDROID MARKET.
PLEASE EMBED VIDEOS WITH YOUR REPLIES TO MAKE THE THREAD A MORE ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE
EXAMPLE:
1. Anomaly: Warzone Earth HD for Android
Great game for those who love strategy games
Video Preview of game:
Whale Trail. Hands down. So much fun, well optimized for an ICS tablet.
Here is a whole thread about which games work for us.
I'm into Osmos HD, Quell and Zen Pinball THD atm.
Cheers
Riptide GP, Zen Pinball, Reckless Getaway, and Galaxy on Fire 2 THD had been my favorites until yesterday when I was able to downgrade my firmware to 9.4.2.7 ICS and now, I'm playing my Gameloft games- Modern Combat 3, Backstab HD, and Asphalt6.
Basically i like everything that has gamepad support
So GTA III, ShadowgunTHD, Sonic 4, Zenonia 4 (just started it, heard it sucks later on because of its payment system/balance - i HATEHATEHATE FreeToPlay Games. They always end up being no fun without paying (endless grinding), and no fun if you pay either (too easy). Its just such a bad thing for gaming... WHY?), PSX&N64 Emulator games, Riptide GP, Samurai II. Yeah.
Touch games only work for me if its something like Where is my water, or Angry birds. This "virtual" joystick thing is just bad - especially on a tablet. Almost as bad as FTP games.

Yeah, op is a little late in the game. The one I made already well established with a very extensive list with links and is already a sticky thread. Plus this should be n QnA section since its a question thread..thing is there's already a few threads on this already.
I dunno. 'What are your top games?' and 'What games work?' are two fairly different but valid questions if you ask me. I don't personally want to pour through every working game to find the gems. I might be interested in knowing what everyone can't live without. However I'm really not all that interested in either for some reason. I used to love gaming. Something's changed. Hopefully it's just temporary.

If your not interested in games, don't bother posting. This thread is intended for those who are interested.
Duplicating a thread already in place.
I have decided to update this and add some more that aren't just co-op, but anything multiplayer. If any of you have any suggestions for other games that have similar functionality, please feel free to post them below!
All of the games below are local multiplayer, meaning you don't have to have a second device, or play online. A few tips to remember when playing Android multiple controller games. Android looks for any input device and will assign it as a controller. So if you have a mouse plugged in, or anything else in the USB port, some of the games will have difficulty recognizing the second controller. Another thing to remember is that it usually makes whichever player clicks on the app 1st, the 1st player. 1st player will usually have control in menus, and often times in games like JuJu, the screen will follow player 1 predominantly.
Without further ado, and in no particular order:
PAID
Stikbold! $9.99 - This game is great as a cooperative game, and it can be fun as a competitive game. It runs flawlessly on the SATV. You can play through the story together, or you can compete together against "bots" in single matches. You can also go one on one, or add bots to your respective teams and play against each other. It falls into a category of a fully developed game with no BS. Therefore they have to charge more to cover their development.
JuJu $9.49- JuJu is a fun side scrolling run and jump type game. Something like Mario Bro's Wii, your partner will even end up in a bubble if they die or fall behind. It's basic enough that kids can catch on quickly, but still fun and challenging for an adult. You get fun new abilities as you go. When I bought it was on sale for about half this price. I might keep an eye on it, as it may go on sale again.
Age of Zombies $.99- This game was a little too violent for the family, it's on here because some people might be more relaxed about it. It is fun, and for $.99 it's a good time.
Never Alone $4.99 - This is such a unique game. It has these beautiful videos taken right from native Alaskan people and culture. It's truly a cultural experience to play this game, but it's also a great co-op game. The girl and the fox have unique abilities, and it's great at building teamwork, but doesn't leave you frustrated. I highly recommend it.
Chariot $7.49 - This game is too expensive for me to wholeheartedly recommend. It's a decent game, and I would pay $3 for it. The voice acting is great, but the puzzles can be frustrating, and you really have to know how to work as a team. But it is a co-op multiplayer, and I did buy it and play it, so I put it here.
Meltdown $6.36 - There is a free version of this game in the play store, but the one that works on Android TV is $6. In my opinion, it's well worth it, it was super fun to play together. This one would be great for 4 players. The more you have, the easier it is. Saving up coins to unlock other characters is something that keeps you busy and gives you a goal to look forward too. The "arcade" mode, which is what you have to play for local multiplayer, isn't as developed as normal mode, but it's still worth the money in my opinion.
Trine 2 $4.95 - This one is a fun puzzle adventure. What makes it appealing is the different characters using their unique skill set to solve challenges as a team. The game is similar to an old SNES/Genesis game called Lost Vikings. If you remember/liked that, you will love this.
Riptide GP 2 $1.99 - I recently downloaded this one. It's fun but simple. It is a slow grind to get enough money to buy the good waverunners. The fun comes in leveling up which allows you to learn new skills/tricks. These tricks give you more boost and make it easier to win races. This is one of the few that supports 4 controllers, so if you happen to have 4, it's fun for the whole family.
Octodad $4.99 - This game kept popping up on the Shield carousel, and I kept ignoring it, because it looked so stupid. I finally caved because my son kept asking and I bought it. I didn't know it was actually multiplayer co-op! One of you can control certain appendages, like the legs, and the other can control the arms. The game is all about convincing people you aren't an octopus. The difficulty is you move like an octopus. The dialogue and voice acting is AAA, and the game is actually hilarious. But more than that, it's not just a silly time waster, it's a good challenging puzzle type game. It's great fun as a co-op campaign.
Heroes of Loot 2 $3.99 - This is a fun little dungeon crawler that can be played with 2 controllers. Gameplay gets a little repetitive. The graphics are poor by design, but they do give you that nostalgic feeling. Each player chooses 2 characters that they switch between to use their different abilities. If you like the old school top down games, this is a good one.
OUYA collection $4.99 - $7.99 - The OUYA (may it rest in peace), actually had a great focus on this type of gaming. So many of the games developed for it seemed to be all about playing with a friend or 3. The only one in this collection that's actually co-op is Mercenary Kings. But, the only one that doesn't support multiple controllers is I am Bread. So I figured I would throw the whole list here.
Siegecraft Commander $9.99 - A lovely real time strategy game. This is an homage to the original Warcraft. Great voice acting, game play, and graphics. I can't remember exactly how cooperative it is, but I do know it supports multiple controllers and makes for a fun family game night.
Tennis Champs $2.99 - Someone in the thread mentioned Tennis Champs. This is a remake of a classic Amiga game. It's fairly simple in it's mechanics and gameplay. I personally would rather load up Mario Tennis for N64 using MupenFZ. But you can play some doubles on the same team, or play competitively against the computer in this.
Killing Floor: Calamity $4.99 - Another one that is too violent for my purposes. But it's a top down zombie shooter with plenty of blood and destruction. It can be played with two players cooperatively.
Jackbox Party 1-4 $24.99 - I haven't actually played these games, but those that have say this is a great set of party games. I believe you can use controllers, but I do know some of the games have people use their own mobile device to interact. In any case, it is a game where multiple people play together in the same room.
Cublast HD $4.99 - I have no personal experience playing this, but I intend to buy this one. It looks like it could be a lot of fun with two people. It's an arcade puzzler with a level editor. The two player mode looks to be a sort of competitive co-op. You can download maps created by internet users as well.
NEO TURF MASTERS $3.49 - A retro arcade golf game. You could play this through an emulator, but this is definitely easier, and probably worth the $ if you are into this game. It's hot seat multiplayer, not simultaneous, but could be great fun with a friend.
Hotlap Heroes $3.99 - A top down arcade racing game. It reminds me of a game I used to play in the arcade that had a red, yellow, and blue steering wheel called "Off Road".
Ice Rage Hockey $1.99 - Very simple hockey game, but surprisingly fun. It's probably just slightly more complex than an air hockey simulator might be, because it's just one on one. But, if you buy this for Android TV, it will also work on your phone or tablet for 2 player because the virtual controls are simple enough to fit both on a screen.
Ultimate Chicken Horse $11.99 - This is a console quality game. You and your friends build an obstacle course together. The objective is to build something that you can pass, but they can't. It's a bit of a slow start as far as competitive games go, but once the course starts to take shape, you can see the strategic masterminds start to stand out. It's pricey for Android, I think it's fair for the amount of development that went into it.
Pix the Cat $4.99 - This is without question my FAVORITE competitive local multiplayer game available for Android! Playing pix with 4 people is insanely fun! The gameplay is fast paced, strategic, but also very easy to learn and get good at. I have had matchups between 3 grown men and my 10 year old niece where she was able to hold her own. I highly recommend this one for a party game. As an added bonus there is a single player mode. The two modes might as well be completely different games, so you could say you are getting a 2 for 1.
Natural Soccer $3.49 - I haven't personally played this one, but the description on the Nvidia store says it supports 4 controllers for local play. The reviews aren't great, but for what it's worth most of those seem to be coming from mobile screens, and what negative reviews there are, the developer seems to be very responsive to.
FREE or Ad Supported
Neon Shadow - This is a first person shooter. What makes this great for me is it's not terribly violent. You are killing artificial intelligence robots, there is no blood, just explosions, and the multiplayer split-screen works really well. Levels may be a little repetitive, but it's super fun. I don't know how intrusive the ad's are because I paid for this app when it wasn't ad-supported.
Beach Buggy Racing This is hands down one of my favorites. I believe you do have to spend $5 or so to unlock multiplayer mode. But this game is well worth it. If you ever liked any kart racing games, this is an incredibly fun racing game that will give you hours of enjoyment. The truth is it's not really co-op, because you aren't a team. But you aren't really against each other exclusively, since you are trying to beat all the other racers. I find it's a great one to play with a friend.
Badland - Fun game that is very simple to play, but difficult to master. It supports up to 4 players, but it's really fun with just 2. This one again is a game with such an easy learning curve, anyone in the family can play.
Bombsquad - This one is harder to pickup out of the gate. But it's a very fully developed game. It wasn't something a developer threw together in a few weeks. It has great physics, and complex gameplay. It is a freemium model and I can't remember if you have to pay to unlock multiplayer. If so, then I categorized it wrong. It requires a lot of teamwork to pass the challenges because they can be difficult and you can easily end up bombing your teammate.
Duck Game Demo - I love this game. It's a battle arena game. But, it's not found on the play store, and I feel like it deserves an audience. Special thanks to shadywhere and a list of games from him, on Reddit. The whole demo thing will make you feel like you are really missing out. But don't worry, the full version isn't that much more amazing. The demo still provides plenty of free fun.
Stickman Soccer 2016 - This one is a really simple, but well done soccer game. You can join the same team, which makes it much easier to set up crosses into the box. It's ad supported, but very smooth for a free game.
Stickman Soccer 2018 - This is an improvement on gameplay from 2016, but it turned into a cash grab. It's trying to mimic FIFA Ultimate Team and get you to spend money upgrading your squad. The multi-controller mode is tucked away in quick match. You may have to pay for an IAP to unlock it, I can't remember. But, I think the minnimum is $2 and it removes the ads, and might unlock the game. It also only supports 2 controllers now and not 4, but the gameplay is still excellent. If you can ignore all the obnoxious stuff.
Dead Effect 2 - I haven't actually played this one, and there seems to be some sort of trick to unlocking multiplayer https://steamcommunity.com/app/394760/discussions/0/412447331646891466/? I don't know if this is applicable to Android as well as the Steam version. This one is unfortunately too violent for my family console. If someone wants to give it a run and report back with results, I will update the thread.
Sky Force Anniversary - This is a classic arcade blaster. It's fun, but can be a little repetitive. The upgrading system is a little complicated. But it is the type of game that's a lot more fun with a friend than without.
Zombie Show - Haven't played this one, but it looks like a zombie apocalypse racer. It is rated M.
Bomber Friends - Bomberman clone, but it does support local as well as online multiplayer. It looks like from the reviews this game might be a bit of a cash grab. I personally might get an emulator and emulate bomberman 3 for the SNES first, but if that's not your thing, maybe this is.
Eternal - This is a strategy card game, something like Magic the Gathering maybe. It's not really my thing, so I don't have a lot of experience with it, but maybe those who do can comment.
Clash - Fun battle arena game that is completely free. No IAP, no ads, just a totally free game. There is no single player mode, and no co-op, but the multiplayer competitive is fun and entertaining, and easily worth the $0 you will pay.
Real Racing 3 - Realistic looking racing game. Reminds me of Gran Turismo from back in the day. You have to play through the single player tutorial, and you get a car. Once you have done that, then you can play "party mode", which should be a little icon at the top. One problem I have on the Shield Pro is that it recognizes the IR receiver as a controller. If you happen to be using a universal remote with IR, it will actually drive the car. But, any other connected gamepads will be automatically assigned. On the non-pro shield, you shouldn't have the same problem.
Tiny Little Racing 2 - Basic little racing game. Kind of like Micro Machines.
Hey thanks for this breakdown man! I live with my girlfriend and am in a similar boat. We already play JuJu together, good fun. Also Lego Avengers in 4k, but that's not comin from the Shield.

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but how did you get Gang Beasts to work? It doesn't show in Nvidia Game Stream (I have to access it via Steam), and I have the issue where the first controller controls everyone.

You have to enable multi-controller by holding the "start" button, then choosing the three dots in the right corner, and enabling multi-controller. It will look something like this.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
If you have already done that, then I usually go with the classic advice of just restarting everything. Restart the PC, and the shield. Then make sure all the controllers you are using are connected BEFORE launching the steam gamestream app.
If you have done that, and it's still not working, try looking at the settings you have in Steam. Under Steam>settings>controller settings. It opens in "big picture mode" and has a number of options to try to determine what the problem is.

Bombsquad doesn't require to pay to unlock multiplayer. A great game btw.
There are more local multiplayer games out right now, but still we could use some more decent quality titles.
Personally I highly recommend Sky Force Anniversary - the best high quality old school shooter for android. It is awesome in 2 player mode.
(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.idreams.skyforcehdtv&hl=en).
Ones I have not tried yet:
Tennis Champs - I believe it supports local multiplayer. I played it in the old days on Amiga and it was fun (like 4 player fun!)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jakyl.tcr&hl=en
If you know other titles, please keep them coming.

I found a few more and added them to the list. As I find more I will keep adding them.
List Maintenance
The links for Stikbold!, Age of Zombies, Chariot, Siegecraft Commander, Killing Floor: Calamity, NEO TURF MASTERS, Duck Game Demo, and Clash seem to be broken.
I would like to add a few:
Auralux: Constellations - Strategic space battle with a relaxing soundtrack. Up to four players order their forces to other planets with the goal of wiping out everyone else. It has enough free levels to learn the techniques and strategies, or to play casually on a games night. Full sets of levels are for sale but purchasing all of them is pricey.
Cardcast - Apples to Apples type game where a player chooses the card they prefer from those secretly submitted by the others. The game is silent, which means you will need to add your own narration to make things more fun. Many types of games use the I Hope They Pick My Card style (such as Cards Against Humanity) and there are additional card packs available for purchase. It uses Chromecast, so, like the Jackbox Party Packs, players use devices rather than controllers.
Stickman Base Jumper 2 - Jump from tall places and try to stick the landing. This game has one-button control, so it is very quick to learn. It uses Pass-and-Play for multiple players in Party Mode, which means only one controller is necessary. Level and player selection are a bit awkward. Even so, it is a lot of fun to watch your friend's skydiving efforts fail tragically in a variety of ways.
Hi who can share this game? Chariot its missing on play store.
pls help find CHARIOT
