While the above 10 anime games are about "of all times" basis, the followings are the 5 best latest and popular anime games among the best anime games of all time rated by anime fans. They are the best anime games that have been released recently and are very popular at the same time, satisfying two conditions at the same time.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Pokémon is a series that has been a fan favorite for ages, but fans have had one major problem with it in recent times. It has become stale and repetitive. Fans became quite vocal after the previous game, and it seems like Game Freak listened. Pokémon Legends Arceus is a complete remake of the core systems that feels like a natural evolution.

Legends Arceus, at its core, has a straightforward concept of catching Pokémon in the wild. Where it differentiates itself from the rest is the process of capturing the wilderness. Now battling is but one of the many options you have. You can throw poke balls at them, use items to distract them, or take advantage of Pokémon infighting to catch them. Pokémon are now seen in the overworld and interacting with the environment. Battling has also been changing, making it far more fast-paced with the addition of Agile and Strong moves. Some moves have also been changed as the battles now happen in the overworld.

All these changes will undoubtedly have series veterans on their toes as they compile the first-ever Pokedex and create a bridge between Pokémon and people. For new players, the story is a look at what is arguably the creation of the series' core mechanics. Veterans will finally be able to see the formation of what is regarded by the fandom as the best region ever, Sinnoh. Legends of Arceus is a game that has reignited the love of the series in the hearts of many after so long. It is a must-play for any Pokémon or anime fan.

Persona 5 Royal

Few games in recent years come to mind when one talks about art style and aesthetics. Persona 5 Royal is one of those games. It is a game that wowed everyone when it was first unveiled in 2017. We will be getting the best version of the game with a new updated Persona 5 Royal coming to the PC this month. Atlas has genuinely outdone itself in creating a game that will undoubtedly live on as one of the best JRPGS ever.

But art style alone cannot carry an entire game, which is where the story and narrative of the game come into play. The game starts slow as you are introduced to the new city and the characters; as a delinquent, people don't have the highest opinion of you. Soon, you find yourself embroiled in a mind palace and forced into confronting your inner self. This marks the beginning as Persona's famous words are said, "Thou art I and I art Thou." The story after this is a rollercoaster of emotions, helped by a well-developed cast and interesting side characters. The social link system of the previous games is refined and mixed with the new side activities, giving the game a unique feel.

Combat is the tide, and the true press turn system is adapted for the persona games. The art style comes into play again as the entire combat process is quite stylized and oozing with personality. The game reminds us that JRPGS can evolve and still find fans in newer gamers.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3

The Xenoblade series is one of the few games that can simultaneously make you feel optimistic and melancholic. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 keeps up the series tradition with a beautifully created world for you to explore. And a story that will have you at the edge of your seat for the entire time as you try to unravel the many conspiracies and hidden narratives. It is a massive improvement over the previous entries and arguably the best one in the series.

What is life's meaning when all you know is war and fighting for your leader and nation? What is it that makes us different from those whom we fight? Why are we even alive? These are just some of the questions that our main cast of characters are forced to ask themselves as they are thrust into the world of Aionios. The main party consists of a mix of characters from rival factions, three from each. They are blamed for a crime they did not commit and now have to find a way to work together to survive. It might seem generic at face value, but that's far from the case. Every party member has a rich backstory and great chemistry with each other. The main plot is a true marvel that plays to the game's strength in different aspects. It is something that the player must experience firsthand.

Combat has been expanded from the previous entries and streamlined to make it much more accessible to a newer player. The combat also has new additions which allow you to truly customize your party and keep the gameplay from feeling repetitive. All the aspects of the game work in harmony to give the player an experience like none other. Monolith has truly outdone itself this time.

Triangle Strategy

Nintendo's Fire Emblem has held the position of the best SRPG series, with few in the genre to go against it. Square Enix tried the Final Fantasy tactics, but it could not appeal to a massive audience. But now Square Enix is taking another shot at the SRPG market with their latest game, Triangle Strategy. Simply put, the game is gorgeous with the beautiful 2.5 D art style Square Enix has become known for in recent years.

The story and combat are the main bread and butter of the game. Taking on the role of Serenoa Wolffort, you are thrust into the geopolitics of Norzelia, where three kingdoms, Hyzante, Aesfrost, and Glenbrook, are barely holding together a fragile alliance that was formed after the great Saltiron wars. What follows next is nothing short of a fantasy epic that fantasy and anime fans will surely enjoy. The narrative is also accompanied by a decision system, the Scales of Conviction, that will have you choose a side at significant plot points, drastically affecting the story and your party.

Combat is, in many ways, a spiritual successor to the Final Fantasy Tactics. But it also cleans up the user interface and provides the player with all the valuable information needed to succeed. It will require you to plan out your moves and be ready to deal with anything the enemy will throw at you. Utilization of the higher ground and elevation will also be key to victory. Triangle Strategy is genuinely one of the best SRPGs released in recent memory.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin

Monster Hunter is a series so unique that no other game can offer one the type of enjoyment it does. That's why it's so surprising that a spinoff game of the main series turns out to have the best systems and story in the franchise's history. Monster Hunter 2 Wings of Ruin sets itself apart from the mainline games by having an intuitive combat system, a breathtaking world, and a story that plays to the strengths of the former.

The most significant differences between Wings of Ruin and the mainline games are the combat and the fact that you are a rider who tames and rides monsties. The action is turn-based, with a heavy emphasis on using all of the subsystems to ensure your victory. You also use your tamed monstei in battle with you and can execute powerful fusion attacks, which help keep the action fast-paced and engaging.

The world is vast and unique; it is filled to the brim with monsters to fight and side quests to complete to craft better and stronger gear, the trademark game loop of the monster hunter franchise. The story is a tale of your main character coming of age and taking his first steps to leave the shadow of their father.

It will take you to beautiful vistas, and along the way, you will meet a memorable cast as you try to find the case for the latest monster aggravation towards humans. Wings of Ruin is another game Capcom has made, which reinvents the core of their beloved franchise without losing what made it special.

Disclaimers:
Anime games voted above are done by real humans who registered on this website. Voters can be viewed through the Show Results button above. If we find anyone trying to manipulate this, we will undo the manipulated votes and ban the manipulator. This way, this ranking guarantees 100% transparency. But please make sure that, although we provide undo and re-vote functionality, but not all of them who already voted would come back and re-vote. Therefore, unless a new anime game goes through a long period of time, there is a high probability that it will be difficult for them to beat the old anime games that have already made it to the top. Be aware of such fact and consider. To fix this problem, we marked

icon besides the name of the anime game title in which its release date is less than an 1 year long. So that you can easily identify latest and popular anime games to vote and play! Plus, for any anime games newly added with

icon, they will start from the median score as its initial score, and this initial score will be removed after an year, because if they appear at the bottom with 0 score then it really makes them hard to rank up, so we think they should start with median score. They will lose the added median score after an year.

If you register on the website, you can vote your favorite anime games above as many as you want! Plus, you can always unvote and revote again.

I personally gave my vote to Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash. The reason is because I liked its combat style the most among the games listed here. Plus in-game diversity is quite huge, probably the top among anime games I played in terms of diversity, and it provides many game modes and maps. I played more than 4000 Ranked PvP matches in PBS and that proves how much I liked PBS. And yes, my next favorite game is Tokyo Ghoul:re Call to Exist Tongue

In all honesty i beleive Sword Art Online:Fatal Bullet is the best anime game it takes what you love from online mmorpgs and make them better they have massive character coustimization in both appearance and stats each stat does multiple things for your character and the accessories that you equip not only help how you look but gives you extra stats/buffs and the ability to save your sets allow you to make and experiment with so many builds and set ups but the character creation isnt the only good thing about this game the next thing is the longevity i have played this game for almost 1800 hours and i have yet to do every thing i did all the offline quest and dungeons but there are still online dungeons that i havent done and there are 4 weapons i dont have and the best part about this longevity is that dispite how repetitive it can be at times it dosent feel like it your still having fun playing except for geting thoses last 4 weapons thats the only thing i have to complain about for this game the low drop rates of these last 4 weapons and if the only thing i have to complain about the then you know it has to be good but while we are on the topic of weapons i should tell you about the shear number of weapons and skills that are in this game that help add to your choices here are the weapon types "handgun,shotgun,sub machinegun,assualt riffles,grenade and rocket launchers,gattling guns,swords,and sniper riffles"and there are 11 ranks of weapons 1 being the weakest 11 being the strongest there are many weapons in each weapon rank some being remodeled versions of lower teir ones but most are unique there are also diffrent raritys of weapons and accessories "common,uncommon,rare,epic,and legendary" the rarity determines how many chips that weapon or accessories can hold chips are the buffs that are carried on them for weapons its often buffs to the weapons stats while accessories are buffs to the character you can upgrade these chips to increases there buffs and when it comes to weapons you can swamp them around now lets move on to skills which there are a lot as well skills fall under diffrent roles "tank,support,engineer,destroyer,sniper,and assault" you can use 4 skills on each weapon which you can have 2 of at a time you can equip any skill you want as long as you have the stats for it and you can upgrade skills if you use it enough your role is determined by what skills you chose if you have more skills that fall under one role than others than that will be your role for example if 3 out of 8 if your skills are tank skills and the other 5 are lets say 2 support 2 destroyer and a single engineer skill your role will be tank there many skills to play around with and upgrade all this just is some of the game play offered i havent even touched on the diffrent game modes the diffrent types of pvp avalible and the coop and if sat here to type out every thing i would miss the deadline so ill just say this this game is with out a doubt a absolute masterpiece pulling the best part of so many diffrent rpg sub generes and if you want to play a awsome game well you got one right here
