Touchscreen friendly Games List

[BeniBluemchen]

Hi,
I got a new hybrid notebook today, a Lenovo Think Pad Twist, which you can use as a normal notebook, or a rather big tablet. I want to know which games on Steam I can use in "tablet mode" with just the touchscreen. That is why I want to create a list of compatible games here. In the next few days I will try some games myself and edit this post accordingly, but I hope some of you can help...

- 10,000,000 -
Works.

- Back to the Future -
Needs mouse.

- Bejeweled 3 -
Works. (Needs keyboard for typing in name.)

- Bookworm Adventures 2 -
Works.

- Civilization V -
Works. (Use touchscreen mode when starting game.)

- Crayon Physics -
Works.

- Flight Control HD -
Works.

- iBomber Defense -
Works.

-Max and the Magic Marker-
Works.

- NEXUS - The Jupiter Incident -
Works.

- Plants vs. Zombies -
Works.

- Poker Night at the Inventory -
Works.

- Puzzle Agent I -
Works. (Have not tried all the puzzles.)

- R.U.S.E. -
Works.

- The Secret of Monkey Island - Special Edition -
Mouse is needed. :-(

- Ticket To Ride -
Works.

- Sword and Soldiers HD -
Even though it was first made for i-devices, no touchscreen support. Mouse pointer is displayed and only acts on small area in the center of the screen.

- Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 1 -
Works, but not perfectly. (Guess is, the other Chapters will work too.)

- Tower Wars -
Works.

- World of Goo -
Works. (Needs keyboard for typing in name.)

Speaking of which, the tags seem to have done a disservice to touch screen games... Is it just me, or has no such tag visibly made its way onto a single game?

I can't see the tag, and I can't search it for

[kduyb7]

KAMI can work too.

Added Draw a Stickman: Epic works of course

I think its cause not enough people are tagging them.

[Midnex]

KAMI is already listed.

Sorry to resurrect.... but thanks for all the info here. I am playing around with limelight on my tablet PC, one to consider if you have android (sorry only for the green brigade)

Throw in Bastion on the list. If you don't like virtual buttons, you can switch over to where you tap where to go, double tap to evade, and automatically attack. The only virtual buttons left are the ones for switching weapons and blocking.

I originally didnt add Bastion as I felt the controlls were not good enought to be considered touch friendly enough. I will download it again and try it out and see if maybe I didn't give it a good enough try.

[Midnex]

I will check into limelight.

The puzzle game LYNE works perfectly with a touchscreen, beautiful game!

I hope you see this. How well did R.U.S.E. work? I want to buy the full version to run on a windows 8 tablet, but touch did not work in the demo. And I read online that touch only works on HP touch monitors. Does RUSE touch work well on windows 8? I really just want one good PC quality game to play on the go on my tablet. Android and iPad style games are so boring.

@popsicle96 - R.U.S.E. touch didn't work for me on my Surface Pro or Sony Tap 20. I believe you're correct that it requires an HP monitor. At the time, I purchased the game specifically for touch and tried quite a few things to get it working - a waste of money. I haven't tried it recently, but I doubt that anything's changed.

[Midnex]

Ya Ruse did not work out for me either.

[Midnex]

I have not tried limelight now, been super busy.

Not sure if these were included, as I decided to stop reading about halfway through. Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, Baldurs Gate Enhanced 1 and 2 (can't zoom), and Neo Scavenger are touch friendly. And if you can't seem to get a 'click' to work, here's a little trick. Touch the screen and hold, not long enough to register a right click, then drag your finger. For some reason this is the only way to simulate a click in certain situations. Hope this helps somebody out. Also works to simulate a right click if held longer.
