There is a growing market for games that support controllers on the market. It appears that Android TV, the Nvidia Shield Console, and other systems are bringing games that support gamepads to the forefront and are increasing the popularity of these games. As gamepads and Bluetooth controllers have proliferated over the past few years, playing games on your mobile devices with a controller has become easier than ever before due to the proliferation of these devices. There are a lot of wicked good games you could play with it, so why don’t you give it a try? We have compiled a list of the best Android games that support gamepads. I would like to point out that there are some older games with excellent controller support, such as Star Wars: KOTOR and The Bard’s Tale. However, a lot of those older controller games have not been updated in years and we cannot guarantee that they will work properly with newer controllers, newer versions of Android, and newer devices because they haven’t been updated in years. It is up to you whether or not you want to try those.
Bridge Constructor Portal
Bridge Constructor Portal is a crossover game between the popular Bridge Constructor series and the Portal PC franchise. The mechanics are mostly Bridge Constructor. You build bridges with various materials to get from one end of the level to the other. There are portals to make things easier (or harder) as well as cameos from popular characters like GLaDOS. It’s a delightful puzzle game experience and one of the few with controller support. You also get Google Play Games achievements and support for tablets. The game runs for $4.99 with no in-app purchases or ads. We like this one a lot and it’s free if you use Google Play Pass.
Crossy Road
A highly popular mobile game called Crossy Road has garnered a great deal of attention over the years. A MFi controller can also be used with this device. As far as mobile gaming is concerned, this is basically what Frogger would be if it was a mobile game. A chicken is being moved along a road, through a stream, and across other obstacles while avoiding being run over by cars and falling into the water in an attempt to keep it alive. It is a simple game with fun graphics and easy controls that can be played by anyone. It is also a good choice for older children who are familiar with the internet. There are in-app purchases for extra characters in this game, but it is still a free to play game. The good thing about this one is that it supports Android TV as well, so it is a great choice.
Endurance
One of the newer games that supports the use of a gamepad is Endurance. A retro-style action shooter that combines roguelike mechanics with dungeon crawler elements is what the game is about. Players will be heading to Endurance, a ship that has been affected by a virus that caused people to go insane after it spread. Basically, it’s a prequel to the developer’s other game, Ailment, but even if you don’t want to play the game as a prequel, you can still play it as an independent game. There is a good amount of weapons in the game, plenty of action, and a nice little plot as well. On some devices, including those older, middle-range, and lower-end, the game may stutter, and the free version of the game is cluttered with long ads. The rest is tolerable though, and you can easily remove ads by purchasing the premium version. I think that this game and Ailment are both pretty decent games.
Evoland 2
The Evoland mobile game franchise is one of the most unique game franchises on the market today. In terms of style or genre, it does not use any particular style or genre. The latest game in the Evoland series employs a variety of mechanics such as platforming, fighting, top-down shooting, trading cards, and RPG games in its design. As part of the evolution of the game, the graphics have also been changed a bit to fit in with the type of gameplay. One of the most unique experiences you can have on your mobile device is because of that. The developers boast that the game is compatible with most Bluetooth controllers, as well as the Nvidia Shield tablet. Also, Evoland 1 is quite a good game and it supports both hardware controllers and software controllers as well. There is also another excellent game with gamepad support from the publisher, Playdigious, called Dead Cells that was released in 2020
GRID Autosport
A new game with gamepad support is GRID Autosport, one of the newest games to hit the market. Moreover, the game is one of the best racers that we have seen in quite some time. This is a port for both Xbox 360 and PS3 as well as all the DLC for this game. In other words, this is the Windows version of the Xbox 360 and PS3 version of the game. There are more than 100 cars in the game, over 100 circuits to race on, scalable difficulty, and different types of races to play. In addition to supporting offline play, the game also allows you to play it on your computer if you wish. There are a lot of things to like about this game and there is not that much to dislike either. There are most complaints concerning the on-screen controls, however, that’s not what you’re here for, so it doesn’t matter if you have a problem with them. There is no in-app purchase in this game, so it runs for $9.99.
Horizon Chase
There is nothing more retro than Horizon Chase when it comes to racing games. With almost 100 tracks and a wide variety of vehicles, there is something for everyone in this game. Additionally, you will be able to save your game to Google Play Games in the cloud, upgrade your car, participate in at least ten different events, and take advantage of some of the best controller support ever. It is compatible with Android TV, Nvidia Shield devices, MFi gamepads, OUYA, and a wide range of other options, in addition to Android TV. The soundtrack of the movie is also decent in terms of quality. With a price tag of just $2.99, you can score the full version of the game. In my opinion, Riptide GP Renegade is the best racing game that supports gamepads, along with this game.
Levelhead
It is rare for a game like Levelhead to come out every few years, it is one of those special ones. It’s an outstanding platformer with outstanding execution, good mechanics, and a level builder that adds an extra layer of complexity to the game. In terms of the premise of the game, it is very simple. During a variety of training courses, you will be able to learn about how to deliver different packages, while facing various and ridiculous challenges. We were able to find almost no bugs or issues when it was launched, even when it was still in beta. In all honesty, this is one of those legendary mobile games that definitely deserves to be much more popular than it is right now. In addition to this, the game is cross-platform compatible with the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PC, and iOS, so if you want to play the game on multiple platforms, you can do so. You won’t believe how good it is, trust us on that. You can also use your Google Play Pass to get the app for free if you use it. In addition to Crashlands, which we also highly recommend to you for this very list, this game is made by the same developer that makes Crashlands.
Minecraft
Among the most popular games out there, Minecraft is one of the most popular ones. There is plenty to do in this game, as you are dropped into randomly generated worlds with plenty of stuff to do. You have the option of building, mining, farming, and there is even the option to kill a final boss at the end of the game. There have been a number of updates to the game since it was released on PC and consoles in 2017. There is no problem with starting a world in one game and then playing it on a different system in the future. As one of the few games in the world with such a high level of cross-play support, this is one of a kind. The game is available for a price of $6.99. There is an option to purchase in-app items, like skins for characters, if you wish to enhance the aesthetic of the game.
Oddmar
Oddmar is a newer platformer from the same developers of Leo’s Fortune. The game is a side-scrolling platformer that features a narrative storyline, pleasing graphics, and a rather simple mechanic design. Your goal is to restore the honor of a disgraced Viking in this game. There are 24 levels in this game, as well as various power items and offline support once the game has been downloaded and installed. It is also possible to save and achieve achievements in Google Play Games using the cloud. There is a free demo version of the game and the full game will cost you $4.99 if you choose not to play it during the demo. It is also possible to use a controller with it, of course. There is also a controller support option available with Leo’s Fortune, even though it is an older game. There is also a possibility that it would be worthwhile for you to try out an older game if you don’t mind doing so.
