Games that use phones as controllers

[Valkaska]

Hello everybody, this may be a niche subject but I'm looking for a list of games that use phones as controllers. For people that have a group of more casual friends that do not own controllers, it really is more convenient to just plug these kinda games in and everybody uses their phones to play.

I am already aware of the Jackbox Party Pack games and own a bunch of them. I recently found the Crowded party game collection, although the reviews on that make me hesitant to buy it. Are there anymore games like these? Thank you.

Try Eon Altar , jackbox packs and airconsole, space team, etc.
I got additional steam controllers from ebay for my casual gaming friends too though, since there is so many awesome games out there that justify it. Sorry for the off-topic advise.

It might not fit your "casual" needs, but I really enjoyed playing through Eon Altar (4 players on phones, tactical RPG, with some light role-playing/secret information elements). Good for people familiar with table-top RPGs or similar games. This is a meaty game, not a party game.

(Disclaimer: the company failed, so beyond the first season / first 3 episodes, there's no more coming).

Obliteraces has an app controller, though it's a high-speed action racey game, I found the phone controller super, super frustrating to use. Might be better using a tablet as a controller, dunno. Other people seem to like it though ^_^.

Use Your Words is similar to some of the Jackbox games.

I'm sure others here will have more =).

Also if you have some time you can check all the games listed in the curator page, often when "phone controls" are available it's written in the mini-review!

I've created a list: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/11707935-More-Than-4-Local-Multiplayer/list/66358/

I'll add them there.

Done adding. If anythings missing. Plese post here and I'll add it.

Also if you're interested in phones as controllers I recommend checking out airconsole.com

There’s also: https://store.steampowered.com/app/945360/Among_Us/

I haven’t added it to the curator but maybe I should... it’s a LAN/online game that you can play on pc or phones. The free phone app comes with ads. Think there’s a paid ad free version as well.

The ads are probably what made me not add it to the curator as a local multiplayer game before.

Added Pico Park to the phones as controllers list.
