25 Best Games Based on Anime on PC

What happens when Goku isn't saving Earth? Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot makes room for fishing, enormous meals and flights over familiar landscapes between its action RPG battles. Following the Z storyline gives those quieter outings a purpose: you spend time with the people and places you're about to defend.

Taking off above a town captures a different childhood fantasy from simply winning a fight. You can leave a major showdown behind, help someone with a side quest, then fly toward the next familiar face.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 goes straight for the huge clashes that make the closing stretch of Shippuden so memorable. Arena battles surround your chosen ninja with spectacular techniques, while the story moves through late-series confrontations. This is a celebration for viewers who already know the characters and their history.

The appeal is seeing those rivalries explode into motion under your control. A regular exchange of attacks can give way to an enormous cinematic technique, with the screen suddenly looking like a season finale.

A crowd of enemy soldiers is practically an invitation in One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4. You send opponents flying, keep combos going in the air and smash through scenery with the Straw Hats' ridiculous powers. Its large battlefields suit an anime where a single punch can reshape the surroundings.

The campaign visits familiar arcs, including Marineford and Whole Cake Island, before offering its own take on Wano. It's the scale that sells the fantasy: one character can scatter a whole formation while buildings crumble nearby.

That enemy's arm would look better on your robot. Gundam Breaker 4 turns that thought into a rewarding loop of combat, collecting parts and rebuilding your custom Gunpla. Mix pieces from different kits, carry two weapons and head back into missions to see what your latest creation can do.

The workshop goes well beyond choosing a paint color. Weathering, decals and adjustable parts help give your model its own personality, and Diorama Mode lets you pose the finished machine against a backdrop with dramatic effects.

Tanjiro's journey through the Entertainment District, Swordsmith Village and Hashira Training arcs becomes a cinematic campaign in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles 2. It's aimed at fans ready for that part of the story, with arena fights built around the cast's distinct sword techniques and demon abilities.

Versus mode puts all nine Hashira into the roster, opening up fights the story never stages. Dual Ultimates add another reason to experiment with pairings: two familiar characters can share one spectacular finishing sequence.

Shipwrecked on Waford, the Straw Hats have a mystery to investigate in One Piece Odyssey. This is a turn-based RPG with an original adventure, character-specific exploration abilities and trips through familiar memories. There's time to enjoy the crew's company rather than rush from one explosive duel to another.

Battles split characters and enemies across separate areas, so choosing whom to move and attack matters. Dramatic Scenes add surprise objectives during combat, such as asking a particular crewmate to deal with a dangerous situation for extra rewards.

Few games capture the look of an anime fight as sharply as Dragon Ball FighterZ. Choose three fighters, call in assists and turn an opening into an airborne team combo. The side-on combat rewards timing and practice, with enough spectacle to make even an early victory look fantastic.

Its original story introduces Android 21, rather than simply replaying the show's familiar villains. The real thrill comes when your team clicks: an assist keeps an opponent suspended just long enough for another character to finish the attack.

Gun Gale Online trades the usual fantasy quest for firearms and ruined landscapes. In Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet, you create an avatar and work through an original action RPG story as a third-person shooter. Familiar faces appear, but your character occupies the center of the adventure.

A rare AI companion called ArFA-Sys becomes part of your journey, and choices shape the story along the way. That combination of a personal character, gun battles and a strange digital partner makes this corner of SAO feel distinct.

A mysterious door beneath the guild leads Natsu and Happy into trouble in Fairy Tail: Dungeons. Their usual strength isn't enough here. You build a deck of attacks, defenses and spells, then choose routes through a dungeon before your lantern runs out. Short expeditions make each decision easy to care about.

Magic Chains reward playing particular cards in the right order, so a modest hand can hide a powerful combination. Defeated runs also earn progress toward amulets, giving the next trip underground a little more hope.

Forget restrained soccer. Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions wants the shot, the rivalry and the dramatic struggle to score. Its arcade matches borrow the anime's exaggerated style, with special moves that make a goal attempt feel like the climax of a battle.

Two story routes let you follow Tsubasa's experiences or bring a custom player into his world. You can also play local versus with up to four people. Building a team around your own rising star adds a personal stake to every outrageous finish.

Fans of Wing, SEED, 00 and Iron-Blooded Orphans can spend a long time assembling their ideal squad in SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays. This tactical RPG puts pilots and mobile suits on battle maps, with turn-based decisions between the explosive attack sequences.

Developing, designing and capturing units makes the roster itself a major attraction. You're building a collection to command, not just choosing one machine for a campaign. Then a carefully arranged attack erupts into an elaborate animation with the pilot cutting in on screen.

Ichigo's sword carries more than a health-bar problem in Bleach: Rebirth of Souls. Fighters have Konpaku stocks, and a powerful finishing attack can remove several at once. That gives its one-on-one battles a different rhythm: a dangerous exchange can suddenly become a decisive comeback.

The campaign follows Ichigo from becoming a Soul Reaper through the Arrancar arc, while Secret Story explores the cast further. Transformations are central to the appeal. An awakening can bring a new blade and a much more threatening version of your character.

Goku already has his story. Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2 asks what yours would look like. Create a fighter, choose an appearance and learn techniques while working to protect Dragon Ball history. Missions send your custom character into familiar conflicts, with progression built around improving that personal hero.

Conton City provides a hub for meeting characters, training and heading into more battles. The best part is bringing those lessons together: a fighter who looks entirely your own can arrive with moves learned from the series' famous warriors.

Honnouji Academy's battles were never going to become quiet duels. Kill la Kill: If adapts the anime into an arena fighter full of exaggerated poses, sharp visual effects and fierce clashes. It's a focused recommendation for viewers who want more of the show's characters and style.

The alternate story follows Satsuki's perspective and was supervised by the anime's scenario writer, Kazuki Nakashima. Underneath the spectacle, normal attacks, guards and break attacks counter one another, so reading an opponent can matter as much as launching the flashiest move.

The Alvarez Empire arc supplies the stakes for Fairy Tail 2, a party RPG built around Natsu, Lucy and their guildmates. Its battles use real-time action, with character abilities and team attacks carrying the familiar magical spectacle. This is best approached as a fan's return to a late chapter of the story.

Character Stories spend additional time with the cast beyond the main fighting. There's also an original epilogue, Key to the Unknown, offering another adventure after the events that brought the original series to its conclusion.

Want to build a deck and actually test it against other people? Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel is the free-to-play choice for the franchise's competitive card game. Tutorials help explain the rules, but the main attraction is learning how your monsters, spells and traps work together against a human opponent.

Solo mode explores stories behind card themes rather than retelling Yugi's television adventures. That gives familiar-looking cards some extra context before you return to deck building, adjust a few slots and try your next combination online.

Code Geass, Magic Knight Rayearth and SSSS.GRIDMAN sharing a battlefield sounds like a fan's impossible crossover. Super Robot Wars 30 makes it a tactical RPG. You move giant robots around maps, choose attacks and work through a story that brings characters from different anime together.

Between missions, resources go into training pilots and upgrading machines, so favorite characters can become long-term projects. Then the quiet planning gives way to an extravagant attack animation, complete with the kind of dramatic pilot delivery a giant robot deserves.

My Hero Academia: All's Justice is most appealing when you want to put your favorite heroes and villains into three-on-three fights. Characters bring their Quirks into a 3D arena, with team combinations adding more possibilities than a single matchup. The Final War story mode is aimed squarely at fans who have followed the anime far enough.

Team Up Missions offer a separate training scenario with Class 1-A students in a virtual space. Archive Battles revisit earlier confrontations, while Hero's Diary adds smaller character moments between the grand clashes.

Friends and enemies from different points in SAO's history collide in Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream. Its original single-player story explains that reunion, while online quests and boss raids bring up to 20 players together. Choose a character's role and help a much larger team tackle the fight.

Co-op quests begin with five separate four-person parties that gradually meet before the final boss. Empty raid and co-op slots can be filled by NPCs. That eventual gathering sells the anime fantasy of many small groups uniting against one enormous threat.

Something has gone wrong with Gundam history, and a small squad has to put it right. SD Gundam Battle Alliance sends three mobile suits into action RPG missions based on distorted versions of familiar events. You unlock and improve machines while learning how their weapons fit your preferred fighting style.

The campaign supports solo play or online teams of three, with each player piloting a suit. Recognizing a famous scene is only the start: the fun comes from seeing which unexpected machine has arrived to disrupt it.

Who is quietly working for Kira? Death Note: Killer Within turns the anime's hidden identities into an online social deduction game for up to ten players. Kira's side and L's investigators pursue different objectives while trying to work out who everyone really is. This pick makes the most sense for an organized group.

Voice chat suits the accusations and misdirection, and there's no offline story campaign. The Death Note moves through the match as a secret that can expose a plan or protect a carefully maintained lie.

Beelzebub's search for water becomes a road trip through deserts, ruins and hostile territory in Sand Land. The action RPG draws on Akira Toriyama's manga and anime world, but its vehicles give it a personality of its own. Your tank is a companion you'll keep adjusting as the journey grows.

Engines, weapons and other parts change what your machines can do. Bikes cover ground quickly, while Jump-Bots reach places wheels can't manage. Swapping vehicles to cross an obstacle captures the playful machinery that makes Toriyama's designs so recognizable.

Remember wanting to sit across the table from the anime's duelists? Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution builds a campaign around that idea. You work through memorable encounters from the animated series, learn the card game through tutorials and assemble decks from an enormous collection.

Reverse Duels are the lovely twist: a familiar match can be played from the opposing side. Taking the villain's seat changes the cards and the challenge, so a duel you know from television becomes something you have to solve yourself.

The movement is the reason to choose Attack on Titan 2. Grappling through the air with omni-directional mobility gear, circling a giant enemy and lining up a strike captures something that a standard arena fighter couldn't. Your custom soldier joins Eren and the others rather than simply replacing the familiar protagonist.

Time away from battle lets you interact with the cast, giving those dangerous missions a more personal backdrop. Out in the field, a Titan's size changes everything: the safe approach is suddenly several stories above the street.

Beam clashes, midair pursuits and enormous transformations are the point of Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero. Its free-moving 3D battles give powerful characters room to behave like powerful characters. Pick a fighter, test their techniques and see how quickly a quiet stretch of scenery can become a wrecked battlefield.

Episode Battles revisit events from different characters' perspectives and include alternate paths. Custom Battle goes further by letting players arrange their own encounters and share them. That impossible matchup you've argued about with friends can finally have a playable version.
