I don't play it that much, but Mindustry is probably worth looking at, a factory-building game in the Factorio mold.

Unciv is a reimplementation of Civilization V (with simpler graphics).

Not in F-Droid, but open-source: I very much like Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead as a game, but it's really better-suited to a PC, which is the platform it was originally designed for. It's compute-heavy, and while the Android adaptation is usable on a touchscreen, it benefits from having a Bluetooth keyboard or something. Open-world roguelike. You can just download the apks directly. This has a steep learning curve; think Dwarf Fortress. Lots of depth, though!

I'm not actually all that rabid about the touchscreen UI. Probably better solitaire UIs out there, but PysolFC is a fork of Pysol, a long-running Linux solitaire implementation. It has a ton of different games; my favorite is Eight-Off, a game that's somewhat similar to Freecell, but less-widely played. I think that solitaire games are a good match for a phone platform, so worth having it or another solitaire game around.

My own favorite is one that you mentioned, Shattered Pixel Dungeon, which I think is a good adaptation of roguelike gameplay to the touchscreen. Its creator posts on a Threadiverse community here, !pixeldungeon@lemmy.world.
I lost an entire day to Unciv recently.
