1. Dragon Ball FighterZ
Developer: Arc System Works | Genre: 2D Fighting Game | Meta-Score: 87 (PS4)
What kind of game is this? The best anime game draws on an old genre. Dragon Ball FighterZ is a classic fighting game from a 2D perspective. It comes from the developers who have long proven their skills with series like Guilty Gear and BlazBlue.
The story mode is not as interesting as in other games, but the dialogues between many characters often bring a smile to your face. The emphasis is on the combat system and fighting in multiplayer. The fighters are more “balanced” than in other anime games, so a fair fight between Yamchu and Broly is not an issue.
Additionally, the entry barrier in Dragon Ball FighterZ is not as high as in its genre counterparts. Automatic combos, easier execution of abilities, and the fantastic presentation of moves and ultimates make Dragon Ball FighterZ also interesting for newcomers.
