5 Most popular anime games you can play

With hundreds of games out there to choose from, it can be tricky picking out what you’d like to play. If you’re a fan of anime and manga, these popular games can be a good place to start:

Anime games and popularity

Anime is the name given to Japanese animations; manga refers to the 2D art. This Japanese art style is incredibly popular across the world and can be seen throughout popular games too. There are all kinds of anime-inspired media, including collectibles based on anime and manga characters.

The gaming industry is also filled with anime-style games, from popular visual novels to huge MMORPGs. This list narrows it down to the anime games, which also have an anime tv series, but there are also plenty of popular standalone games in an anime art-style too.  

1. A.O.T.2 Game [Attack on Titan 2] 

If you are a fan of the Attack on Titan series, then the games take you into the heart of the battle against Titans. This is an action-packed game full of as much gore as the series, but you play as an original character in the story.
