are any anime-licensed games besides Dragon Ball FighterZ even worth playing? I have little hope left after that Made in Abyss game shitshow

>Creator decides to license the IP to a Game Studio >The game adaptation is completely unlike the original and or locked to a console

>>60462 Plenty I'd say, but some of them are japan only without a translation sadly >Alita action game for the PS1 that was the first game with Z targeting and gave the foundation for character action games like Devil May Cry, aged surprisingly well. It had the author involved and the story focuses on an arc he had to cut from the manga. Got a fan translation. >Record of Lodoss metroidvania for PC, has an official translation. Takes place after the anime. The devs also made a short Konosuba metroidvania. >Hokuto no Ken action game made by the Yakuza devs, plays pretty much like those games. Has an official translation but the game is PS4-only. >Kyoei Toshi is a crossover game between Evangelion, Patlabor, Ultraman, Godzilla and Gamera where you're a normal person trying to survive the chaos from the kaiju fights. Made by the Disaster Report devs and plays pretty much like that. PS4-only and yet to get a translation. >Spriggan action adventure video game made by From Software, has you playing as an OC and has slight emphasis on stealth. Tight gameplay and extremely replayable, takes place after the events of the anime. PS1-only and yet to be translated.

>>60462 >>60511 >Ghost in the Shell Third Person Shooter for the PS1, has an official translation with the original dub cast, takes place in an AU. Emphasizes Wall-Climbing and is pretty good, but way too easy. >Evangelions for the PS2, has social mechanics like Persona, and branching paths what if storylines while also being a decent mecha action game. Yet to be translated. On the topic of Evangelion there is a series of untranslated Dating Visual Novels made by Gainax with one entry being a crossover with other Gainax IPs like Gunbuster and Nadia. >There's a Duology of Weekly Shonen Jump Crossover Smash-clones for the DS, both have fan translations. IMO Jump Ultimate Stars is the best Super Smash Bros clone ever made, it has neat gimmick where you form your team by building a Manga page on the bottom screen, this gives a lot of decision making when making a team and make a lot of the fights feel unique (although some characters like Golden Don Patch or Lenalee are extremely OP). The devs also made a Dragon Ball Pokémon Clone called Dragon Ball Fusions for the 3ds which also got a translation, it's really unique but fights can take way too long at time. >Super Robot Wars is a mostly japan-only mecha crossover srategy RPG, a new one got announced recently. >Honestly JoJo's Bizarre Adventure have a bunch of good games like the fighting games Herritage of the Future, All Star Battle and Eyes of Heaven, the Boss Rush based on Part 5 for the PS2 and the surprisingly great fanmade RPG known as the 7th stand user made by a single housewife who's a big fan of the manga, said game later got an english translation with some expansions and color

>>60462 I sunk a hundred hours or so into jojoban on fightcade, yeah. Some people have been playing that for decades. Ex Revue is actually pretty fun with other human beings as well, probably the only gundam game that is genuinely fun to play, although it is an actual kusoge.

>>60451 Came upto with another one, S-cry-ed first person mission based action game with two campaigns. Gameplay akin Shogo: Mobile Armor Division

>>60511 >short Konosuba metroidvania More like a mega man clone if you ask me. But yeah I played it. It's fun. You can download it for free from this R post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Konosuba/comments/631l6r/wanna_play_konosuba_the_resurrection_of_beldia/ KonoSuba playthrough video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjUPcb_MIDw

>>60462 >are any anime-licensed games besides Dragon Ball FighterZ even worth playing? Majority of the ones that have come out. Even the "half-assed" ones are still rather decent, all things considered. Which anime/manga, genre of game, or even systems the games are on, are you interested in?

>>60462 Berserk for Dreamcast. Love Hina Advance. Legacy of Goku series.

>>60451 I don't see a point in wanting a game for some series that already exists, I would rather have something new IMO.

>>60512 >JoJo's Bizarre Adventure have a bunch of good games like the fighting games Herritage of the Future, All Star Battle and Eyes of Heaven, Out of those, heritage is good, all star is decent, but eyes of heaven is ass due to being a generic arena fighter.

>>60511 I forgot: Sailor Moon Another Story Ranma HARD BATTLE

>>60451 Neon Genesis Evangelion 4X Strategy where you play as one of a bunch of different factions that want to cause Third Impact on their own terms.

>>60451 >Wanting vidya with the current state of the vidya industry. You will slurp the 3d arena fighter from bamco or the reskinned arcsys 2d fighter and you will like it.

>>60451 Rising of the Shield Hero desperately needs a video game like it, but the problem is that its mechanics are too advanced/complex for modern game development, its something I hope to see in the future. For one thing, everything in that world looked very cool, the sheer level of interactivity with the character's weapons was amazing. (e.g. the fact that the MC could put almost anything into his shield and end up transforming it from a storage unit, to pure utility, to damage, to defense, to buffs, etc.), on top of just more broken mechanics, and the fact that the gameplay and character mechanics can change based on your knowledge, perceptions, personality, emotions and reactions to the world around you, as well as the role you take in the world. Plus its got a good story and premise and whatnot baked in with the whole "spawn into a (part of the) world that reviles you and forces you to approach the world differently to everyone else". And the anime adaptation makes the "UI" for the world look really satisfying and engaging to handle, plus I like the general design aesthetics of it too. This is a topic I've been wanting to make on /v/ for a while but I've always ended up forgetting before I ended up making an OP for it, but this is one of those rare works where I'm downright hungering for a game that could fulfill the work's ambitions. Unfortunately if anyone ever does make a game for it, it'll probably end up being low-effort garbage like the "VNs" that companies churn out for a lot of the popular isekai, even though a franchise like this deserves a high-budget, effort-filled game to do it justice. I think it would be genuinely fantastic if a proper company with the will, talent, vision and money would ever take on a project like this. People love to say shit like "SAO" but honestly Shield Hero looks more to me like a "game from the future" than anything I've seen in an anime so far. It would be like a sandbox RPG in terms of character freedom to interact with the world and characters, but with a genuine plot and tension built in thanks to the waves, along with worldbuilding and characters that actually matter so you aren't just jerking around the whole time without consequences like some faggot. Keep in mind I haven't watched or read past season 1 of Shield Hero so far, I'm planning to get around to it but from what I've seen of it, I think it would make for a great game. The only game closest to this in terms of breadth of interactivity in an RPG setting I can think of is Runescape, but it still wouldn't come close to a lot of the other things about this hypothetical game.
