YuYu Hakusho: Slugfest relives the classic anime across a cel-shaded RPG, coming to iOS and Android soon

  • Officially licensed with original voice cast
  • Collect iconic characters from the anime
  • Relive memorable moments from the show

If, similar to you, you’ve always enjoyed watching anime battles where a character provides running commentary from the sidelines (despite there being an official commentator), then get ready because YuYu Hakusho: Slugfest is here! Available on iOS and Android devices, this officially licensed RPG brings back the classic anime in a portable format. The only thing left to wonder is why it took so long for such a game to materialize.

Growing up, I was deeply fond of the anime Yu Yu Hakusho, and now, learning that it’s receiving a mobile version brings me great joy.

Simply seeing the official screenshots from the store pages is enough to excite me. The game promises to accurately portray the world of the show, but with cel-shaded graphics, it offers a new perspective to relive the team’s adventures in the demon realm.

When it comes to the team, you can assemble not just the leading characters but also the powerful antagonists, adding them to your lineup. This includes favorites like Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama (hooray for Kurama), as well as characters such as Younger Toguro, Sensui, and Yomi too.

In this game, battles appear to be tactical, taking place in turns, where you can optimize teamwork as you progress through the Dark Tournament. There’s also a Player-vs-Player (PvP) and Guild-vs-Guild (GvG) mode available, if you’re ready to test your team’s strength against other players.

What makes this even more exciting is that, since we have the official license, the original voice actors are coming back, which means it’ll definitely evoke feelings of nostalgia if, like me, you used to race home from school in the 90s just to watch this show.

While you’re waiting, feel free to explore our top picks for RPG games on Android devices. Alternatively, you can sign up for early access on both Google Play and the App Store so you can be among the first to play when it becomes available!
