TEKKEN 8 is about to be released since we get newer character trailers daily. But since it still needs to arrive, why not list the best games like TEKKEN 8 for Android & iOS?
In this list, we’re going to cover the top 10 games, and as you go further down the list, the games will keep improving, stick to the end of the list.
10. EA SPORTS UFC Mobile 2
If you’re generally a fan of TEKKEN, then UFC Mobile 2 is the right game for you. Even though TEKKEN characters are fictional, every character in UFC 2 is based on a real-world fighter with a different unique style.
What makes UFC Mobile 2 interesting is the diversity of styles that these players have. Like TEKKEN, you get characters from all countries and all sorts of mixed martial arts backgrounds like Muay Thai, Judo Karate, Kickboxing, Wrestling, JiuJitsu, and a lot more.
The fact that these characters are really makes the game even more interesting than TEKKEN for me. Whether you’re a fan of Jin, Law, Lei, Hworang, Geese, or anyone, you can find a character that suits their personality in UFC Mobile 2.
Similarity Score: 6/10
9. Skull Girls: Fighting RPG
TEKKEN gets quite slow, but that’s where Skull Girls come in. The game is for our female audience, which is almost nonexistent, but we care about the girls too. Anyways, Skull Girls provide a fun and action-packed package that consists of cute girls with vicious arms who are there to do a lot of harm.
The game managed to capture over 10 million+ downloads on the Google Play Store alone, and it currently has 4.7 stars with 464k reviews. With the unique 2.5 animation and beautiful character selection, Skull Girls is as diverse as TEKKEN but so fast-paced with cartoonish graphics that you can’t hate it.
Similarity Score: 6/10
8. Real Boxing 2
For the fans of boxing and fighting in general, Real Boxing 2 provides a package that is hard to ignore. The game contains all the current and some previous fighters like Manny Pacquiao, Canelo, Bivol, and much more. If you’re tired of playing TEKKEN but want a similar yet unique experience, then Real Boxing 2 is the way to go.
The game is quite real, as the name suggests, and what makes it so interesting is that you can customize everything from your character and tattoos to something like outfits. All in all, if you’re a fan of hardcore boxing, Real Boxing 2 is the way to go.
Similarity Score: 6.5/10
7. Injustice: Gods Among Us
TEKKEN has a lot of unique characters, and it’s safe to say that it’s the closest to MARVEL and DC superheroes. I mean, just look at the characters. Not only are they designed the same but also have similar powers, but DC and Marvel tend to take it to a bit extreme.
Anyways, Injustice: Gods Among Us has some of the most fun-to-play combat systems we can find on mobile. Why? Because you simply use the touchscreen to scroll and attack. The simplicity of this game will want you to keep attacking until you get to the pinnacle, as you would in TEKKEN.
Injustice: Gods Among Us contains all the superheroes you would expect, with 3-on-3 combat, special attacks, and super moves.
Similarity Score: 7/10
6. Power Rangers: Legacy Wars
Who doesn’t like Power Rangers? Legacy Wars is a game that takes your Power Ranger experience to the extreme. The characters are all there, and by transforming into the Robo Ranger, you can enjoy combat similar to TEKKEN 8.
While TEKKEN 8 isn’t released yet, Power Rangers: Legacy Wars will provide you with a similar experience as the graphics are unreal. You can unlock new rangers and create the best team to beat Rita and save the Morphin Grid.
Similarity Score: 7/10
5. Shadow Fight 4: Arena
Being a fan of Shadow Fight since my teenage years, Shadow Fight 4: Arena blew my brain once I saw such a full-action combat experience. The game has a lot of characters with unique abilities and special powers.
If you’re a fan of TEKKEN, Shadow Fight 4 won’t disappoint you. You can even play it with your friends by creating a lobby to have fun. But what’s more interesting are the ranked matches, where you play with real-world characters and use strategy, timing, and precision to beat the opponent.
Now, of course, Shadow Fight 4 is almost paid to win, but you also have to grind a lot to reach the raw talent level in the game.
Similarity Score: 7.5/10
4. Final Fighter: Fighting Game
Why did I even put a game made by a relatively unknown developer among all the games from big brands on this list? This was the question I kept asking while deciding to rank these games. However, Final Fighter does everything so amazingly well that you cannot put it down on the list.
The graphics are top-notch, the characters are designed well, and the graphics are good for a mobile game. For all the fans of TEKKEN, I recommend you guys choose this game and just enjoy it because it’s so good.
Similarity Score: 8/10
3. THE KING OF FIGHTERS-A 2012
Growing up, I always chose King of Fighters over TEKKEN because I was too scared of Yoshimitsu. Sounds pretty crazy, right? Well, The King of Fighters franchise is known to be one of the most famous games ever to exist.
With the mobile version coming in two variations, one is paid and one free, you can download any of them and replay the unique SNK experience. The King of Fighters 2012 is a great game of combat and unique characters. So if you want the same TEKKEN-like experience but a bit less intensive, King of Fighters 2012 is the way to go.
Similarity Score: 8.5/10
2. Street Fighter IV CE
Street Fighter has been a long-lasting competitor of TEKKEN 8, but with so many games on mobile, the Street Fighter IV CE is the best pick for you. The game is free-to-play, and if you unlock the game, you can even access more content.
The game comes with this 2.5D gameplay style that fits perfectly with TEKKEN’s style, and if you’re a hardcore fighting lover, then this game will not disappoint you. You can play Street Fighter IV CE because TEKKEN might never be on phones.
Similarity Score: 9/10
1. MORTAL KOMBAT: A Fighting Game
If there’s one game I recommend you guys play every time the whole TEKKEN question comes in, it would be MORTAL KOMBAT on mobile. While there are different variations of MORTAL KOMBAT, I would prefer you guys to play MORTAL KOMBAT, the original, from Warner Bros.
The game has a lot of characters, and by lot, I mean dozens of them. Each player has their unique ability, and if you’ve been into TEKKEN’s lore, then you know that MORTAL KOMBAT makes the most sense. Mortal Kombat is easily one of the best games like Tekken 8.
Similarity Score: 10/10
Conclusion
And that’s it for the list of best games like TEKKEN 8. These games won’t disappoint you and will allow you a better, stronger, more fun experience playing a game you might have never played before.
