10 best anime games that are larger than life
(Image credit: Bandai Namco)
Our list of the best anime games includes the odd adaptation of a popular anime or manga series, like Dragon Ball, but it’s largely about games that are clearly influenced by anime, whether in their art direction, storytelling, characters, combat, or all of the above. Basically, we want to make sure that if you enjoy anime, you will be able to find something on this list that you enjoy in a lot of the same ways.
That said, the best anime games range from the cute, but secretly horrific (*cough* number 10 *cough*) to the competitive to the epic and adventurous, meaning you’re guaranteed to find something for you no matter what type of anime you like watching. So without further ado, here’s what the team of anime enthusiasts at GamesRadar came up with for our guide to the best anime games.
10. Doki Doki Literature Club

Available on: PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch
If you aren’t at all familiar with Doki Doki Literature Club, you probably have a lot of questions. And I can tell you that whatever you might think of it given the name, Doki Doki Literature Club probably isn’t anything like what you’re expecting. Even looking at screenshots, you’d probably imagine you’re dealing with a run-of-the-mill, anime-inspired dating sim, but you’d never guess the horrific psychological nightmare waiting for you just beneath that shiny harem surface.
Doki Doki Literature Club is a violent, genre-busting psychological horror game and interactive visual novel that’s now on more platforms thanks to the recent release of the Plus edition. Final warning: Doki Doki wears cute clothes, but the plot deals in shockingly heavy themes and subjects including depression, suicide, insanity, and the grotesque. If you can stomach it, Doki Doki Literature Club tells a story worth hearing, well worth the scary trip.
9. Dragon Ball FighterZ
(Image credit: Bandai Namco)
Available on: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch
If you’ve ever wanted to inhabit the most powerful heroes of the Dragon Ball universe and exact revenge on any one of their many foes, Dragon Ball FighterZ offers that satisfying, almost cathartic experience.
Of course, you can also embrace your inner-villain and fight Goku as Frieza, Buu, Kid Buu, Beerus, Cell, and Captain Ginyu.
It’s hard to live up to the sheer energy that’s drawn so many viewers to Dragon Ball over more than three decades, but Dragon Ball FighterZ is easily the most successful fighting game at doing so based in the series’ universe. It’s fast, punchy, visually awesome, and most importantly, makes you feel like Goku — or Cell, depending on your moral compass.
8. Tales of Berseria
(Image credit: Bandai Namco)
Available on: PS4, PC
If you’re looking for a traditional JRPG with a heavy anime bend, Tales of Berseria fits the bill and then some. The combat, if not entirely innovative, is challenging enough to engage through the roughly 60-hour campaign, but the real highlight is the emotionally-captivating storytelling.
Bucking so many trends we aren’t soon to miss, Tales of Berseria follows a relentlessly badass female protagonist — a first for the series — in her journey to avenge her brother’s death by killing his murderer.
It sounds formulaic enough, but Tales of Berseria will surprise you at every plot-turn, and in-between keep you satisfied enough with its battling to see what happens next.
7. Astral Chain
(Image credit: Nintendo)
Available on: Nintendo Switch
If the anime you prefer are of the stylized, global, and awe-inspiring type, Astral Chain is right up your alley. And if you’re at all familiar with PlatinumGames’ other IPs, like Bayonetta and Nier: Automata, you’re already largely familiar with Astral Chain’s vibe.
The combat is frenetic, the visuals are bright and busy, and boss fights are brilliantly inventive. Better yet, and sort-of surprising for the genre, Astral Chain tells a well-crafted story well worth paying attention to. For a little bit of everything, including smartly-designed side quests, platforming, and puzzle-solving elements, Astral Chain is your most stylish and categorically shonen choice.
6. Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (999)
(Image credit: Aksys)
Available on: PS4, PS5, PC
999 is another oddball sleeper hit with a unique gameplay flow structured around a surprisingly captivating story.
Also like Catherine, the story branches into different paths based on your choices, although in 999 reaching the «true ending» requires multiple playthroughs.
Playing through the stressful, at-times violent story requires sitting through something of a visual novel, interrupted by sequences of puzzle-solving to escape situations. The plot is nothing short of a dreadful situation; you wake up on a cruise ship with eight other captives, and your goal is to find the door marked ‘9’ before time runs out and the ship sinks. Worse yet, disobeying commands in «the Nonary Games» causes a bomb placed inside your stomach to detonate. Needless to say, the stakes are high in 999, and you feel the intensity from the opening sequence through to the end.
5. Catherine: Full Body
(Image credit: Sega)
Available on: PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch
Catherine deserves more attention, but the game itself is to blame for its niche appeal — its subversive and sexually-charged moralizing is almost impossible to package neatly into its inventive puzzling RPG format for mass appeal.
Catherine tells the story of a young commitment-phobe trapped in the clutches of a succubus, struggling to survive nightly attacks and reconcile his faith in his relationship.
The only real gameplay here takes place while Vincent is asleep, and it’s all about moving around blocks to climb a structure and escape the giant monster clawing its way up from the bottom. The under-pressure puzzling at Catherine’s core is engaging enough, and the story told by day is equally gripping, ensuring you’re never bored. Catherine isn’t just weird, it’s incredibly well-done, and the new-and-improved Catherine: Full Body is the best way to experience this wild story.
4. Fire Emblem: Three Houses
(Image credit: Nintendo)
Available on: Nintendo Switch
The latest release in the acclaimed Fire Emblem franchise lives up to, and even exceeds its name in plenty of ways. With a large, highly-explorable base hub, emotionally-gripping story, and dynamic characters and relationships, it’s easy to forget you’re playing a turn-based strategy game, and a damn good one.
Indeed, Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a complex, class-based strategy game at its core. It’ll take some time to learn complete mastery of its combat, but once you do, the result is as rewarding as it gets for the turn-based strategy genre.
3. Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom
(Image credit: Bandai Namco)
Available: PS4, PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch
Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom marks more than one departure from its excellent predecessor, but stands on its own as an ambitious, rewarding JRPG with a massive heart in its center. Studio Ghibli wasn’t involved this time around, battling is no longer turn-based, and there’s a whole new city management gameplay loop and skirmish battles. For my taste, the frantic, kinetic battling is an improvement over the first Ni No Kuni’s traditional turn-based combat, but I’ve never been much for the latter.
It’s true Ni No Kuni 2 wasn’t graced with Studio Ghibli heading up the art direction, but you might not know it at first glance.
Characters have that same Ghibli look and environments look hand-brushed, but a closer look reveals some discrepancies. Namely, Ni No Kuni 2 benefits from some of the most diverse, enchanting towns I’ve explored in a video game, and that charm bleeds through the entire experience.
2. Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
(Image credit: Bandai Namco)
Available on: PS4, PC, Nintendo Switch
Whether you’re an unabashed Ghibli-aficionado or you’ve never heard the name Miyazaki, Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch can’t be missed for fans of anime, video games, or happiness. Ni No Kuni bleeds Ghibli, from the exceptionally beautiful art to the emotional storytelling. As you might expect, gameplay fits rather neatly into the JRPG mold, with an overworld for you to grind through and traverse towns, cinematic cutscenes, and turn-based gameplay.
No matter your preferred anime genre, there’s an anime-inspired game for you. The thing about Ni No Kuni that separates it from most JRPGs is how expertly-crafted each element is.
The story is profoundly moving, the exceptional Studio Ghibli-drawn art has aged wonderfully (especially with the PS4 remaster), and progressing through the story requires minimal grinding — even less if you take on sidequests.
1. Dragon Quest 11
(Image credit: Square Enix)
Available: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, Nintendo Switch
The latest adventure in the veteran Dragon Quest series is exactly that, an adventure. It’s vast, colorful, ridiculously charming, occasionally quite touching, and ultimately satisfying. GamesRadar’s review of the recent Switch port called it «one of this generation’s finest RPGs.»
The anime-inspired 3D environments are lavish, evocative, and distinctly Akira Toriyama. And indeed, the famed Dragon Ball and Chrono Trigger character designer was responsible for Dragon Quest 11’s art design.
There are a few genuinely heavy, even heartbreaking, chapters, but for most of the ride you’ll be so charmed by the world and its characters that you’ll wish they were real.
And the gameplay loop is challenging enough to demand some grinding, but by no means excessively. Dragon Quest 11 is a traditional JRPG in almost every way, and the fact that it stands so tall among literally decades of genre classics says all you need to know about it.
