Mobile gaming is great, right? That’s probably why you’re on a website about Android gaming. But sometimes touchscreen controls just don’t cut it.

There’s a decent mix, from platformers to fighters, action games to racers.

You can click on the names of the games below to download them from Google Play. Unless otherwise noted, they’re premium. And if you’ve got your own favorite, let us know in the comments section.

The Best Android Games With Controller Support

Right, let’s give a rundown of the games.

Terraria

A great mix between a build-’em-up and a platformer. Terraria might have been around for a while, but it’s still one of the best games on Android. And with a controller it’s even better – build, fight, survive, build some more. Terraria is a premium game and you’ll get everything it has to offer for one up-front payment.

Call of Duty: Mobile

Probably the best multiplayer shooter on mobile, and it’s even better with a controller. Packed full of modes and guns to unlock, there’s always something to do and someone to shoot, and it’s always getting new stuff.

Little Nightmares

This bleak and creepy platformer lets you use a controller to navigate, and you might need it to stay one step ahead of the horrid creatures that haunt its halls. Use all your skill and cunning to succeed in a world that’s much too big for you.

Dead Cells

If you want to face the terrifying, ever-shifting island kingdom of Dead Cells, then controller is the best way to travel. Dead Cells is a rogue-like metroidvania where you play a strange sentient blob piloting a dead body in place of its head.

You navigate through the dangerous halls, fight enemies, and pick up new upgrades and weapons. It’s not an easy ride, but it’s more than worthwhile.

My Time At Portia

A great twist on the Stardew-esque genre where you take on the role of a builder in the remote town of Portia. It has a bit of everything, from building, to social interactions, to action RPG adventures in the dungeons. You can also go and fight the townsfolk, a feature we strongly feel every game like this should have.

Pascal’s Wager

A brilliant 3D action adventure with thick and juicy combat, gorgeous graphics and a gloomy story that’ll keep you riveted. It’s good with touchscreen, it’s even better when you’re playing with a controller – console-quality gameplay with console-quality controls. Pascal’s Wager is a premium game, with IAPs for DLC.

Final Fantasy VII

This iconic RPG is out on Android and it’s controller-friendly, too! Head out on a truly epic adventure that takes you from the streets of the metropolis of Midgar to try and save the planet from a terrible and existential threat.
