You Can No Longer Play Wayward Souls on Android – Even if You Bought it
droidgamers.comOne of mobile’s best gaming classics has just completely vanished from Google Play. That’s bad enough, but even worse is the fact that you can no longer play it at all – even if you bought it before it was delisted.
That’s… not great. The game in question is Wayward Souls, one of the best roguelikes you could play on mobile. It launched all of the way back in 2014, and challenged you to battle your way through a variety of dungeons.

It was brutally hard. Souls by name, Souls by nature. It played like Diablo, but with beautiful pixel art visuals that have stood the test of time. It also featured very clever touch controls and controller support.
In essence, it was the perfect mobile game. You bought it and immediately unlocked all content. You could play a run in a handful of minutes, picking up and playing at any time.
It also arrived during an era when touch controls weren’t just thousands of virtual buttons blocking the screen. You can perform actions with taps, swipes, and holds. It’s a simple control scheme, but effective and deep.
