1) Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven is an action-adventure, fighting game released in 2015. It featured loads of characters from the anime series, and multiple from the manga as well. For any fan of the Bizarre series, this game should be something they try out at least once.
It features a game original story and has over 50 characters you can play as. Combine this with the different stand abilities each character has, and you’re in for some shocking combos with time stops and explosions. Alternatively, you could also go for something like All Star Battle R instead, which is focused purely on the combat between the characters.
2) Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel
There are many card games which are present in the market, but few would hold up to the classic Yu-Gi-Oh! series. Master Duel is an online version of this card game where you can use your favorite cards from the anime, against other players.
Master Duel features all the pack-opening, deck building, and the dueling parts of the traditional Yu-Gi-Oh! Fans of the anime, or those who just play the game, will be delighted to play this digital version of their favorite card game. You could also look at the older Yu-Gi-Oh! games like Duel Links (available on mobile as well), and Legacy of the Duelist.
3) Initial D Arcade Stage 8 Infinity
Initial D, the racing anime, has had a load of games made in its name. It is difficult to pick one out of all these titles, however, from the newer generation games, Arcade Stage 8 Infinity seems to be the better pick.
You can pick various cars, from different manufacturers, and customize them with various options. Finally, and obviously, you can take your sweet rides and ride around against multiple opponents, which is sure to be fun for any racing games fan.
4) Death Note Killer Within
This social deduction game is based on the immensely popular Death Note anime series. Ten players are thrown together in one lobby and placed into 2 teams (Light or L). From here, each side has to eliminate the other to win the game.
It plays in the same line as other social deduction games, but also does things differently enough to stand out on its own. Each role has their own set of abilities you can use in the game, to try to win the match. Do your best and try not to die.
