I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction, I am looking to play terraria on my phone running graphene and no longer have a google account entirely.

Is there a way to play paid games from google play, without google play?

I have already paid for terraria multiple times, including on my old phone, I just want to be able to play the fuckin thing without googles bullshit.

If I write "Terraria APK" in my torrent program's search window, I get several results.

Actually if the game embeds google game API then it will not work without at the very least minimal gaps or microg.

There might be exceptions, you should try some unofficial apk at your own risk.

It might not be updated to the same version but you should be able to download Terraria from somewhere else (lots of options) and not have it depend on Google Play Services.

Thanks

For those interested, I downloaded a modded APK from one of the megathread listed websites and it appears to work fine

Annoyingly I always find it super hard to find game APKs which don't have cheat mods, which imo just make the game boring to play

You could do the crazy way of playing actual Terraria using gamenative. Gamenative is one of the android apps that allows you to play PC games using proton on android.

Don't use the cheats? I dont even know how to open this ones menu so it plays as original
