If you’re into anime games and love a good brain workout, you’re in luck — 2025 is stacked with mobile games that blend smart tactics with beautiful anime art and killer storytelling. Whether you’re into grid-based combat, tower defense, or over-the-top turn-based chaos, there’s something here for you.
1. Arknights
One of the slickest tower defense games out there. You build a squad of operators, each with different abilities, and place them just right to hold off waves of enemies. It’s stylish, it’s strategic, and yeah — the soundtrack slaps.
📱 Available on Android & iOS
2. Fire Emblem Heroes
Nintendo brought their iconic tactical RPG series to mobile, and it works surprisingly well. It starts off pretty simple, but once you get deep into unit synergy and terrain tactics, it really hooks you.
📱 Available on Android & iOS
3. Alchemy Stars
This one’s got a unique twist — you link colored tiles to pull off combos, all while enjoying some pretty elegant anime artwork. It’s one of those games that’s easy to start, but has layers of strategy once you’re into it.
📱 Available on Android & iOS
4. Langrisser Mobile
If you’re a fan of old-school tactical RPGs, this is a gem. Tons of missions, voice-acted storylines, and a very anime feel. It’s like playing a tactical JRPG series on your phone.
📱 Available on Android & iOS
5. Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium
A darker, futuristic take — this one has you commanding android soldiers in gritty tactical battles. It’s a little more serious in tone, but the depth is legit. You’ll be micromanaging like a pro.
📱 Available on Android & iOS
6. Disgaea RPG
This one’s just bonkers — in the best way. Massive damage numbers, ridiculous characters, and enough strategy to satisfy even hardcore fans. Plus, the humor makes it stand out.
📱 Available on Android & iOS
7. The Battle Cats
Yes, it’s silly. Yes, it’s cats. But don’t let the cuteness fool you — this is a proper strategy game. Timing, upgrades, and unit variety all come into play, and there are so many weird cats to collect.
📱 Available on Android & iOS
8. Path to Nowhere
It’s moody, it’s stylish, and it’s surprisingly deep. You manage a team of “Sinners” with unique skills in a dystopian setting that’s part visual novel, part tactical RPG. Great for players who like their games with some edge.
📱 Available on Android & iOS
9. Epic Seven
This one blends classic turn-based combat with gorgeous animations and deep team-building. You’ll spend hours experimenting with builds and combos — and probably even more admiring the art.
📱 Available on Android & iOS
10. Summoners War: Chronicles
Think open-world adventure meets monster collecting, with a bit of real-time strategy mixed in. The anime-style visuals are a nice upgrade from earlier games in the series.
📱 Available on Android & iOS
