Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a great time killer. There's a Lemmy community over at !pixeldungeon@lemmy.world
Manyverse might be good for that. It's P2P social networking that syncs whenever you've got internet.
The entire suite of simple mobile apps is also really good, the Notes app in particular seems useful.
Organic Maps or OsmAnd will let you download maps offline and navigate with just GPS.
Aard 2 will let you browse an entire dump of Wikipedia and Wiktionary.
You should check out !worldnews@lemmy.world. Lot fewer tankies being useful idiots there. The magic of the fediverse ๐ช

Apart from that, the Civ games are turn-based, but scratch a similar itch as RTS games
And yet countries, given free choice, came running to NATO. Curious ๐ค
