Why Bother with Touchscreen PC Games?

Before we get to the list, you might be wondering… why use the touchscreen when you have perfectly good controllers built-in? Simple: some games are just better with touch.

Strategy games, card games, and puzzlers often feel more intuitive and faster to play with direct input. It’s a more relaxed, tablet-like experience perfect for chilling on the couch. Tapping a unit or dragging a card is often quicker than moving a cursor with a thumbstick. This versatility is what makes modern handheld gaming consoles so special. You get the best of both worlds.

Civilization VI

Ready to conquer the world from the palm of your hand? Civ VI has excellent touch support, allowing you to pinch-to-zoom, tap on units, and navigate complex menus with ease. Seeing your empire expand across the gorgeous, high-resolution screen of a device like the ASUS ROG Ally is a truly epic experience. Just be warned… the “one more turn” effect is strong with this one.

Into the Breach

From the makers of FTL, this turn-based strategy game is pure genius. You control giant mechs to fight off an alien invasion on a small grid. Every move is a puzzle. The clean, grid-based layout is absolutely perfect for touch controls. Tapping a mech and then tapping where you want it to move is simple, precise, and deeply satisfying.

Vampire Survivors

While you still use the left thumbstick for movement, everything else in Vampire Survivors is a joy to control via touch. Selecting upgrades, checking your inventory, and navigating the menus between runs is lightning-fast with a few taps. It’s a fantastic hybrid game that plays brilliantly on the large, detachable screen of the Lenovo Legion Go.
