Author : Claire Jan 21,2025

Mobile gaming is fantastic, isn't it? That's likely why you're exploring Android gaming options. However, sometimes touchscreen controls just aren't sufficient. Sometimes you crave the satisfying feel of physical buttons under your thumbs. That's why we've compiled a list of the Best Android Games with Controller Support. We've included a diverse range of titles, from platformers and fighters to action games and racers.

You can tap the game titles below to download them from the Google Play Store. Unless otherwise specified, these are premium games. And if you have a personal favorite, please share it in the comments!

The Best Android Games with Controller Support

Here's a closer look at each game:

Terraria

A superb blend of building and platforming, Terraria remains a top-tier Android game, even after all this time. A controller enhances the experience significantly – build, battle, survive, and build some more. Terraria is a premium title offering complete access with a single purchase.

Call of Duty: Mobile

Arguably the best mobile multiplayer shooter, and even better with a controller. Boasting a wealth of modes and weapons to unlock, there's always something to do and someone to engage. Plus, it receives regular content updates.

Little Nightmares

This dark and unsettling platformer benefits greatly from controller precision. You'll need it to outsmart the terrifying creatures lurking in its corridors. Use your skills and wits to prevail in a world far too large for you.

Dead Cells

Conquer the terrifying, ever-changing island kingdom of Dead Cells with the precision of a controller. Dead Cells is a challenging rogue-like metroidvania where you control a strange, sentient blob inhabiting a headless corpse.

Navigate treacherous environments, battle enemies, and acquire upgrades and weapons. It's not easy, but incredibly rewarding.

My Time At Portia

A refreshing take on the Stardew Valley formula, where you become a builder in the remote town of Portia. It offers a diverse experience, encompassing construction, social interaction, and action RPG dungeon crawling. You can even fight the townsfolk – a feature we believe every similar game should have!

Pascal’s Wager

A stunning 3D action-adventure game featuring intense combat, beautiful graphics, and a gripping narrative. While enjoyable with touchscreen controls, a controller elevates the experience to console-quality gameplay with precise control. Pascal’s Wager is a premium game with optional DLC purchases.

Final Fantasy VII

This iconic RPG is available on Android and offers controller support. Embark on an epic adventure, from the bustling streets of Midgar to a planet-saving quest against a formidable threat.

Alien Isolation

Experience this terrifying survival horror game on Android with seamless Razer Kishi compatibility. In Alien Isolation, you explore the Sevastopol Station, a space station plunged into chaos by a relentless extraterrestrial predator. Do everything you can to survive.
