The Backbone is a device that will elevate your mobile gameplay, providing you with a console-like controller that resembles the Nintendo Switch’s button layout. Retailing for around $99.99, it comes with a dedicated app that enables game captures and more.
Playing games when on the go is great, but oftentimes there are shortcomings in the control systems of some mobile games. This is where the Backbone comes in. Here you will find a list of the mobile games with Backbone support that offer the best experience.
8 Diablo Immortal
Diablo: Immortal brings Sanctuary to your mobile device, and features the same combat that has become so beloved. You can choose between six classes to play: Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Necromancer, and Wizard.
Diablo: Immortal has tons of quests, offering you endless hours of looting. Since it is a high-quality free-to-play game, it should be no surprise that the game includes microtransactions. While you can turn your experience into less of a grind through the in-game purchases, playing for free is a good time nonetheless.
7 Call Of Duty Mobile
Call Of Duty Mobile is a first-person shooter on the go, and like all games in the genre, your aim is what truly counts. The Backbone will make a significant difference to your gameplay, helping you perfect your aim. Call Of Duty Mobile has multiplayer modes too, so you can run and gun from anywhere.
CoD Mobile contains loot boxes as in-game microtransactions, and we recommend avoiding these because they entirely are luck-based. Despite that, the game is a great time for genre fans, and one of the best FPS shooter games available for mobile.
6 Rocket League Sideswipe
Rocket League Sideswipe is a mobile soccer-racing hybrid game that does well to transfer the feeling of playing the main game on your phone. Sideswipe comes with online multiplayer mode and globally ranked matches for competing against other players.
If you are just trying to kill a little bit of time, you can play two-minute games or customize cars in the garage. Rocket League Sideswipe has tons of customization features that don't require spending any additional money. Honestly, it's just a really fun time.
5 Minecraft
Minecraft, the sandbox-survival game, has a mobile port available for $7.49. It's definitely worth the endless gameplay you'll get from the price. You can expand your game with free add-ons and resource packs, too. Playing with the Backbone will let your creativity soar in the game, or gain the edge over enemy mobs.
This edition of Minecraft also includes Realms, allowing you to play with up to ten friends, cross-platform, on a private server they host for you. There is a free 30-day Realms trial in the app, and if you decide to continue using it you can expect to pay $3.99 a month. Alternatively, you can play with up to four friends with a free Xbox Live account online.
4 Genshin Impact
Genshin Impact takes you to Teyvat, a magical open world. You will experience a story campaign that leads the way through an interactive environment. Climb mountains or swim across rivers, the choice is yours. New characters are regularly added which you can attempt to pull in the gacha system using real money. However, that's not necessary at all to enjoy the game.
Genshin features an element-based combat system that you can experiment with in interesting ways. Boost your battles by combining the elements, or try mono-elemental teams. Genshin Impact is a beautiful visual experience, and you will have an easier time going about your journey in Teyvat with the Backbone.
3 Stardew Valley
A modern classic, Stardew Valley is available on your mobile device for around $4.99. The mobile game is a cozy adventure, bringing you the exact same RPG as the original. You can expect at least 50 hours of gameplay content, making the price tag incredibly worth it.
You inherit your grandfather’s old farm plot and have to upgrade it through some good ol’ fashioned farming. Raise animals, venture into mysterious mines, and fish your time away. You can also romance NPCs, and eventually, raise a family.
2 Aerofly 2 Flight Simulator
Aerofly 2 Flight Simulator is a mobile flight simulator game, costing around $3.99. You can explore the world from the skies, with realistic graphics transporting you wherever your heart desires in a variety of aircraft.
It's exactly what its namesake suggests, a flight simulator, so don’t anticipate a campaign or story. You will be able to experience take-off from multiple airports, and practice landing with advanced flight physics.
1 #Drive
#Drive is a mobile racing game with plenty of vehicles and customization options for you to explore. You can drive across an open world, experiencing biomes such as deserts or bustling cities. If you want to up the intensity of your driving, you can try out some of the various challenges.
#Drive starts you out with a simple, humble car that you can later customize with points you have won in-game, or you can purchase upgrades with real money. Regardless, a racing game like #Drive will be truly enhanced by the Backbone support, and is well worth the play.
