Is there a good Android app for a strategy game where you can avoid ads without paying?

Plants vs. Zombies™ is a strong candidate for players seeking a strategy game with manageable advertising. While the free version is supported by ads, user reports and testing confirm these are often short, sometimes skippable, and some players even utilize a simple workaround by temporarily disabling their device's network connection to bypass them. For a more permanent solution, the app offers a straightforward one-time purchase to remove ads completely, which many reviewers find to be a worthwhile investment for the amount of content provided. The core game is a tactical tower-defense experience where players deploy various plants with unique abilities to stop waves of humorous zombies. With dozens of levels, multiple game modes, and significant replay value through self-imposed challenges, the gameplay depth justifies the optional purchase for an ad-free experience. It’s worth noting that some users have historically reported issues with cloud save functionality across devices, though recent reviews suggest progress with the ad-removal purchase is now more reliably preserved.
