A great example of what is possible with the Moga is the stage against the Driller. I started getting used to the gamepad layout and was beginning to perform multiple actions at the same time. However, I stuck at it, and was soon improving.

And don’t even ask me about how I fared against the lobster-shaped enemy boss. I would often stop in my tracks to shoot the humanoids, keep getting hit by those creepy exploding spider-like robots, and was no match for those little flying drones. You see, having not played a serious game in a long, long time (the last I can remember is Counter Strike at LAN parties in my college in 2009), I just wasn’t used to control with such precision. Within a few minutes, I was put in my place. Once everything was set, I started a new game all pumped up, thinking that I’m about to completely whoop the AI’s ass. A bit of squinting is going to be necessary. The text here isn’t perfectly sized, with my guess being that the font size has been set using absolute pixels instead of density independent ones. Upon launch, you need to open up the setup page and configure the keypad as per your requirements. I decided to go with Shadowgun first since I wanted to see how the experience would be with a third person shooter. As you would expect, Moga’s app lists several games that support the controller, and have a separate tab from where you can launch games that you have installed. From there, the app will pair the controller for you and then connect to it.
Shadowgun deadzone controller Bluetooth#
Switch on the controller to the ‘A’ position, switch on Bluetooth on your device, and launch the Moga pivot app. I knew I HAD to have one, and placed my order on Amazon almost immediately. Setting up the Moga, at least on my HTC One X, is pretty straightforward.

In fact, Shadowgun (which some of our older readers may remember I named as one of my favorites back when I joined) might just be the only title I have completed ever.Įverything changed after about a minute with the Moga. The casual ones are far too underwhelming for me, while the on-screen controls pretty much always result in me being dead in action games before I’ve even spotted the enemy.

I typically do not write about games, simply because I’m not a big mobile gaming fan.

In my eyes, the Moga Pro is the best thing to have happened to mobile gaming since Snake, and the aim of this series is to encourage more game developers to include support for such controllers. I happened to use the controller at the Google I/O sandbox for the multiplayer game demos, and instantly fell in love with it. DISCLAIMER: This new series is in no way sponsored by Moga.
