Touchscreen controls are all well and good, but sometimes you want the precision that only a controller can offer. And that’s fine, because there are loads of mobile games that offer controller support. And we’ve trimmed them down to what we reckon are the top ten best mobile games that let you use a controller.
There’s a good mix of genres here, from shooters to classic console games, to platformers and build-’em-ups. Basically there’s something for everyone, and all of the games are absolutely brilliant in their own right.
Want to be the best at Call of Duty Mobile? Then you’re definitely going to want to use a controller. You can be good using the touchscreen, but if you want to really shine you’re going to want to use a controller.Â
A Dark Souls-inspired 3D action game that sees you hacking and slashing your way through gross enemies. It might be gloomy, but there’s loads of fun to be had here. And that fun only increases when you’re using a controller.
A super tough action platformer with some super smart ideas. It’s playable on touchscreen, but if you really want to get the most out of the experience then you’re going to want to attach a controller.
A gorgeous looking Metroidvania with a focus on crunching combat. There’s a hefty challenge waiting for you here, and you’re definitely going to be in a better position to overcome it if you’re using a controller.
This one’s inspired by the modern Zelda games, and while it wears its influences on its sleeve, it adds some of its own ideas into the mix to make sure everything is fresh. You’re much less likely to get clawed hands if you’re using a controller for the hours you’re going to be playing this one.
Racing games are brilliant, but on touchscreen they can sometimes lose something in translation. Add a controller to this console-quality racer and you’re getting an experience that’s going to leave your palms sweaty and your rubber burnt.
Explore, build, craft, survive. Terraria is an enormous game that lets you explore and change an entire world. And let’s be honest, something like that is just going to be more enjoyable if you can use a controller.
Another survival game, this one’s top down and packed full of chances to die. There’s nothing worse than dying because the on-screen buttons don’t work, especially in a game with permadeath. That’s why you should play this one with a controller – no excuses.
One of the very best games of a few console generations back, and you can now play it in the palm of your hand. What’s better than that? Well, how about attaching a controller and really experiencing the game how it was meant to be played?
This awesome looter-shooter is even more awesome when you play it with a controller. And it’s really awesome when you play it in touchscreen. There’s so much to love here, and you’re going to love it more when you’re playing with a controller.
