The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
Best ios games with controller support
Mobile gaming has never been better since Apple announced that iOS will start supporting MFi controllers. Serious gamers can finally say goodbye to the awkward and cramped hand positions while moving to navigate games on-screen and say hello to the Bluetooth iOS controller. While there’s a long list of games that give a different experience with the use of gamepads on iOS, racing games benefit the most from it. Drifting and changing lanes is a lot smoother and easier. Using controllers, gamers will get to experience the comforts and familiarity of playing on a console on the go. Smartphones were never designed for comfortable gaming while gamepads are basically designed to be ergonomic, allowing you to play for longer periods of time.
Many games on the App Store supports controllers, especially arcade games. Sadly, not all apps have this feature and you have to manually check whether a game has it or not. Upon downloading a game, you’ll know if it can be played with a gamepad by simply checking if the controller icon appears on its landing page. There are instances though where a game isn’t listed as having this feature but is still compatible with gamepads. So don’t lose hope, that app you’re meaning to try might still be played without that cramped touchscreen controls. If by chance you got yourself a nice controller but don’t know what to play, check out our list of the best iOS games with controller support. Leave a comment below so we’ll know if you agree with our list or not. Happy playing!

This is a Rogue-like shooter game, but with a pretty interesting twist in that it takes place in the context of a Biblical story. Isaac hears he is to be sacrificed, and the game involves him trying to avoid this. The game has so much content, it's difficult to imagine getting bored. The integrated controller support works great. More

This is a great game and a wonderful adaption to the Android platform. But, the controls are horrid and irritate me to no end. The play experience is much better on a dedicated game machine or anything else where you can use an actual controller. More

Oceanhorn is a fun game. I could play it for hours but it requires a lot of attention so you need some time alone. When I am on break is a good time to start. It's an Action RPG more than a standard RPG. More

GTA Vice City is an amazing game! I spent countless hours completing missions with Tommy Vercetti for different gangs back in old days. I must admit, all games in GTA series have never disappointed me. This is easily one of my favorite series. Now, going back to ios games, I have never played it on iPhone because why would you want to have a partial experience when you can play it on PC and have full experience? It doesn't mean that a mobile version is bad. It's just it wasn't designed for a mobile and it's much better on PC. More
by Jose Jordan
Ofcourse this fun game is better with a controller. I am an iOS user and well, its kinda hard to play this on my phone since the screen is to small, that's why I prefer to use controllers. More
