Consoles are just so expensive. To top it off, video games are so expensive so we can’t exactly have a plethora of video games in our collection. New consoles are always being churned out too, which render previous consoles pretty “useless” as they would not be able to play the latest games only available on the latest consoles. Not many people can afford that, but with how the world works nowadays, many of us have a smartphone. And with our smartphones, we are able to play some mobile anime games! Granted, the gameplay, design, and storyline tend to be simpler, but we still have fun playing mobile anime games. If you are looking to try some amazing mobile games, you may follow some of our recommendations below:

Originally released for the Nintendo 3DS, this is a free-to-play puzzle game which is now also available on the App Store and Google Play. The goal of the game is simple; the player just needs to match 3 or more of the same Pokemon to defeat and get a chance to capture the wild Pokemon. This style of puzzle gameplay is not new but is nevertheless addictive, and the Pokemon theme is just too cute!
Pokemon Shuffle may not be as popular as Pokemon GO as it does not offer a unique gameplay. However, not all of us enjoy going out and catching Pokemon due to various reasons such as laziness, safety, and weather conditions. An alternative game for Pokemon fans would be Pokemon Shuffle as you can just play the game on your mobile device without going anywhere.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Generation is a card game.

Nevertheless, who does not enjoy a good card game? There are more than 6000 cards available to collect which includes various Traps, Magical Spells, and Monsters.

Chopper is one of the main characters in One Piece and in ONE PIECE Run, Chopper, Run!, Chopper is the main character. If you are looking for a simple game which provides stupid fun, then we recommend this game for you.

However, it is easier and more interesting than Flappy Bird as Chopper get to transform into 7 different forms. Furthermore, Chopper has various costumes to make himself look cuter.
5. Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle

- Publisher: Bandai Namco Games
- Developer: Bandai Namco Games
- Release Date: Jul. 2015
Dragon Ball is the ever-popular anime series that to date, there are still games produced based on the series. Even though Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle sounds like it appears to be a traditional fighting game, it is actually a puzzle/adventure game. We are glad that it is not a traditional fighting game as it can be difficult to play fighting games on mobile phones as opposed to using controllers.
The battle system involves the concept of color-matching and board games. The game looks flashy but some strategy is needed or you would not be able to defeat some opponents. One of the basic strategy in the game is to pay attention to the strengths and weaknesses of the enemies, as well as their types.
4. Pokemon GO

Pokemon GO is a big hit due to the popular franchise and also its unique gameplay.

There are 3 teams you can choose from in Pokemon GO, which are Team Yellow, Team Blue, and Team Red. The team you choose may lead to childish squabbles if you happen to be against your friend’s team, but competitiveness makes the game fun, right? Alternatively, you may choose peace and be in the same team with your friends and go on a Pokemon hunt together in various locations, which could possibly include other countries as there are special Pokemons only available in certain countries!
