Gems of War. Match-3 RPG
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.and.games505.gemsofwar
You can pay as a shortcut, but if you play a lot and get in a good guild, you'll get tons of stuff for free.
I got to level 1000+ with lots of max level amazing troops without spending a penny.
Gems of War is probably my favourite. It's made by the team that made the original Puzzle Quest.
F2P but pretty generous with the premium currency if you join an active guild.

Among that kind of games, I appreciate Gems of War. It can take a while to get the hang of it but it has weekly events and some of them are holiday-related. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.and.games505.gemsofwar
Same.
Played it for a while, never spent. Just gotta play daily
Also join a clan for free gem keys. A lot of free keys.

You should really check out Gems of War. It's a match 3 online rpg with pvp, guilds, tons of kingdoms each with their own storyline. There is IAP but I have yet to spent a cent, you can easily earn the premium currency by joining a decent guild as guilds have weekly tasks to contribute to. I've been playing for 2 months now every single day and still have tons to do. I believe it was made by the original Puzzle Quest devs too.

Gems of War.
I can not recommend this game enough. At it's heart it's match 3, but every colour you match you charge one of your troops or your hero's weapon. Once fully charged you can unleash their attack against the enemy. Matching 3 skulls will cause your troop in position 1 to attack. Matching 4 will give you a free turn.
There is kingdom building, treasure hunts, guilds, PVP, arena, quests, troop upgrading, classes with unlockable weapons. This game is packed full with so much stuff...
There is a premium currency but you can earn that in game. Tipp: Go to Zhul'Kari and finish the quests for the epic troop right away and you can easily get as many treasure maps as you want. As an example of how little this game "forces" you to spend money: So far I have 3 legendary troops, which can be gotten from "tier 2" chests that are easily earned ingame, but "tier 3" chests have a 4 times higher chance to have them. I got all 3 of mine out of tier 3 chests so far. Tier 3 is only available through premium currency. I have yet to spend any money on the game.
Best of all? No energy nonsense. You can play as much or little as you want.

Warning: This game has various issues. It will crash when using certain abilities on some phones. On my nexus the colours often look weird. The PS4 version, while quite nicely done, is rather outdated.

Gems of War. I haven't played in over a year but back when I played, you can grind 24h a day without limit and you'll progress faster
The more time you put, the more you progress. It has IAP but you can play for free if you grind a lot
There's puzzle quest 2 for android

Also you'll probably hate me for suggesting Gems of War
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.and.games505.gemsofwar
but I played it for about a year, a year back and had a lot of fun without spending a dime. I joined a top guild and had tons of good units. But it did take a massive time investment...

Gems of War? I don't know much about it since I pretty much just started playing it recently. The story seems pretty weak, imo, but I'm really liking the game play. It's also on Steam!
Looks like you could enjoy Gems of War https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.and.games505.gemsofwar&hl=en it has asynchronous multiplayer, gacha, strategy and rpg elements. P2W is kept to an acceptable level imho.

I've put over 500 hours into it lol
I've been playing Gems of War for years now.
It's pretty uncomplicated in terms of gearing and stats (there's no gearing at all, just pull troops from the gacha and spend a couple hours grinding worth of souls to level them), the main thing is to choose troops that synergize well (pretty simple, just find something that deals damage and things that transform gems into the one your damage dealer uses) then make good strategic choices in the puzzle matches.
On Google Play, iOS, and PC via Steam
I think Gems of War should be included in this list.
It's a turn-based puzzle game by the creators of Puzzle Quest, and is relatively similar, except it uses a gacha mechanic for the teambuilding aspect.

EDIT: I didn't see The Battle Cats in my first glance at the list, I think the table should be sorted such that articles in titles are ignored (The Battle Cats should appear under B).

No energy system and no need to ever buy anything. Join an active guild and you will get hundreds of units every single week!
I like playing match 3 co-op games in a guild with my spouse so that we can work together. If you are looking for a good match 3 game, I would recommend:
Gems of War - Best among the 3 I mentioned
Legendary Game of Heroes (maybe quite P2W though)
Seascapes Trito's Adventure - cute, your spouse will probably like it
