Do you like to play anime games? So do we! And this year, like never before, we’ve been overwhelmed by a large number of incredible new releases out there. So we decided to take the bulls by the horns and make a top of the most played anime games online of 2018.
We searched high and low, both in the platform-based collection and in the online gaming industry and discovered something that we would have never expected. Our search for your favourite most played anime-themed game even took us to the world of bonusrequired.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves, here are the top 3:
- Dragon Ball FighterZ is the number one most played anime game of 2018. Developed by Arc System Works and released by Bandai Namco Entertainment on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows, this fighter game has even been declared by critics one of the best fighter games in the eighth generation of video game consoles.
The gameplay takes the best of several fighting games mechanics – namely team mechanics and the control schematics. You pick a team of 3 characters out of a roster of 24. You can either play with them one at a time or summon more to make combined attacks and even combos with the entire team.
The main antagonist in the game is Android 21 – a previously normal human that has been turned into an Android by the Red Ribbon Army. This episode of the Dragon Ball Z series games takes place sometimes between the “Universe 6” and “Future Trunks” arcs of Dragon Ball Super.
- Koi Princes was a total surprise to us since it is an anime slot and we did not expect to have an entry from the world of slot games. It’s true, the online video slot games industry has been growing at record speeds, and more and more providers have adopted the anime themed, but Koi Princess ranked higher than Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker.
The slot has an abundance of features, 8 to be exact. Out of them, four are triggered at random. The other four are activated by landing a specific configuration of symbols on the reels. There is also the possibility of winning a maximum of 1000x your stake in one spin.
The main character looks much like one of the characters from Sailor Moon, and the background is a Japanese temple set in a serene landscape.
- Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is an online multiplayer game developed by Soleil and published by Bandai Namco. There are several game modes available, out of them the most played are Barrier, Base and Combat. There are several mentor characters you can choose to learn from. The most frequently chosen are Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi. You will independently learn from your mentor and enjoy different daytime and night modes.
So far these have been the most played anime themed games in 2018. Do you think things will be different by the end of the year? Will any of the December game releases break through and rank in this top 3?
