Best Mobile Games Based on TV Shows, Anime, & Films

Mobile games are the most accessible type of video game in the world. Thanks to advances in mobile technology and expanded Wi-Fi networks, more people than ever before are gaming straight from their smartphones. This is especially true for casual gamers who might not own a console or be interested in PC gaming.

For example, even a casual title like a virtual slot from an online casino can be played on a mobile device. One of the world’s most popular titles is Starburst, which has been around for over a decade. This slot keeps things simple with a bright and colorful display, upbeat music, and straightforward mechanics. That’s enough for many casual gamers who simply want to pass the time. 

The same can be said for a game like Candy Crush. It’s been around for the same amount of time as Starburst and, just like with the slot, players are treated to a simple gaming experience with dozens of colorful jewel designs. Coupled with atmospheric and exciting music, there’s enough to keep gamers occupied and relaxed for hours. 

But what about mobile games that take a more traditional approach? If you’re looking for a mobile game that involves a heftier storyline and greater challenges, consider looking for a title based on your favorite TV shows, anime, and films. Because these mobile games are based on existing worlds, developers have tons of freedom to create unique challenges and quests. Let’s explore.

Game of Thrones: Conquest

If you’ve ever dreamed of raising your own dragon and taking on the Seven Kingdoms from the Game of Thrones series, here’s your chance. This mobile game combines dragon-raising with political machinations, requiring players to think strategically to grow their alliances, build their resources, and tackle enemies from all sides.

One Piece Treasure Cruise

Thanks to the recent Netflix series, Monkey D. Luffy has never been more popular. If you’ve been wooed by the series and its cast of delightful characters and evil villains, then you’ll have plenty to keep you busy with Treasure Cruise. The combat game lets you relive some of the anime’s most daring moments while also charting your own course across the seas.

Pocket Mortys

Step into the shoes of one of the most diabolical evil geniuses in cartoon history: Dr. Rick Sanchez. In this game, players aren’t only navigating as Rick—they’re also taking on an interdimensional battle that involves a ‘Council of Ricks’. There are also a handful of game mods to choose from, so if hacking it out in a metaphysical battle doesn’t suit your interests, you can tackle another mission, such as catching and training wild Mortys.   

Dragon Ball Legends

If you ever sat glued to your screen and felt like Goku was doing a terrible job of saving the world, then here’s your chance to step into Super Saiyan shoes yourself. Dragon Ball Legends lets players save the world as a new character named Shallot. The game follows a unique standalone storyline in the Dragon Ball universe but also includes all your favorite characters, from Vegeta to Gohan.

Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales

So far, we’ve covered games that let you step into the shoes of anime, film, and TV characters. But what about a simpler approach, which builds on casual titles like Starburst and Candy Crush Saga? Enter Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales. This game includes all your favorite themes and characters from the Netflix series, along with a unique match-three, RPG setup. The latter combines elements of narrative adventure and match-three puzzles, which are highly casual. In other words, there’s no gaming experience required for this game.

Desperate Housewives: The Game

Let’s cover one last highly unique mobile game. This highly popular series followed the dramatic lives of housewives on Wisteria Lane. In the mobile game, players move onto Wisteria Lane themselves. From there, they’ll find themselves entangled in a world of social manipulation and dirty secrets. To succeed on Wisteria Lane, players must create a memorable character with a flawlessly designed home and prestigious, big-name brands.
