When it comes to fighting games on Roblox, there are great games and there are not-so-great games. The Roblox engine does present some limitations for complexity, but some of the best games on the platform found ways to present a true competitive experience. Some Roblox fighting games even feature recognizable characters, mostly from various anime.

Updated September 11, 2021 by Erik Petrovich: Somehow, the popularity of the deceptively simple sandbox game Roblox continues to rise every day. Maybe it’s the fact that it runs on just about any system, or maybe it’s the diversity of games available to play, just about all of which are community-made and operated. When it comes to good fighting games in Roblox, there’s a lot of choices, from flat-out bare-knuckle brawlers to games that require a sense of grand strategy and tactics. If there’s one thing that ties all of these fighting games together, it’s their surprisingly engaging mechanics, whether that be in the form of long-term upgrades or the complexity of fights in general.

13 Anime Fighter Simulator

Anime Fighter Simulator, formerly known as Anime Fighters, is a Roblox game that pits the player against the most famous characters from anime past and present. Players get to choose their characters (who can be crafted or fused together as well) to beat their opponents, get Yen, and even complete little mini-games in multiple different worlds.

The game has been criticized for its repetitive gameplay, which is mostly a loop of defeating opponents, acquiring money from their victories, spending it, then going back to defeat stronger opponents. The multiple worlds and mini-games like time trials make it worth checking out, though.

12 Bleeding Blades

Bleeding Blades is a game unlike any other fighting games in Roblox. Taking inspiration from the Mount and Blade series, where players control both their character and their armies in battle. The game features multiple different armies, including Rome, Greece, and other ancient and medieval powers.

While the game is currently in its alpha stage, it’s nonetheless worth following as it gets more and more developed. Currently, the game features three battles: the Battle of Thermopylae, the Siege of Halicarnassus, and the Battle of Milvian Bridge. It’s worth noting that the developers of Bleeding Blades based these maps and game modes on real-life events.

11 Noob Army Tycoon

Noob Army Tycoon is exactly what it sounds like – a simulator game where players are able to control a vast army of noobs. It’s something of a strategy game with that, particularly absurd Roblox flair. Despite only being released in 2021, the game has amassed nearly 150 million visits already.

The game featured upgrading systems, vehicles, different types of troops, and is based around a King of the Hill game mode. It takes a lot of inspiration from the older game Clone Tycoon 2, but with several different systems and a different overall approach to gameplay.

10 Boxing League

Boxing League is a game in Roblox that doesn’t actually let players box… however, they can kick, hug, and push their opponent around until the victor emerges. It’s surprisingly fun and it’s one of the most played Roblox games.

There’s a bunch of ways to improve the in-game experience, too, like double XP and a small variety of cosmetic skins. Being one of the most popular games, there’s almost always somebody online to box.

9 N The JoJo Game

N The JoJo Game, abbreviated as just N in the Roblox games list, is a JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure-inspired fighting game made within the Roblox engine. It’s surprisingly playable and is supported for all devices (although the creator notes that some devices have altered content).

The game took a long time to develop, although it was just meant to be a test. N The JoJo Game turned into one of the best fighting games on Roblox partly for the memes of both the anime and Roblox itself.

8 Super Hero Tycoon

Super Hero Tycoon is not as much one of the least-true Roblox fighting games and more of a simulator-RPG-type game with a bit of fighting thrown in there. There’s a huge number of superheroes in the simulator from all different franchises, but mostly from Marvel and DC Comics.

There’s a number of special versions of the game that come packaged with different heroes, including some from comic franchises not owned by either Marvel or DC. Give them all a try to find one with your favorite superhero available!

7 Super Power Fighting Simulator

Super Power Fighting Simulator is a very well-made Roblox fighting game with lots of customization and ways to get stronger. There are special transformations, bounties, dimensions, chests, quests, and even free VIP servers for players.

People who have never played Roblox before should play Super Power Fighting Simulator to see what creators have been able to do in the engine. It’s one of those good Roblox fighting games that still receives updates regularly, too, meaning it will never get boring.

6 Super Saiyan Simulator 2

Super Saiyan Simulator 2 is a fighting game in Roblox that puts the players in the shoes of a Saiyan from the Dragon Ball franchise. The game might not be as pretty as some of the triple-A releases in the Dragon Ball series, but it definitely plays like one.

There aren’t a lot of great Dragon Ball games on Roblox, unfortunately, but Super Saiyan Simulator 2 does a good job of bringing the world to life, albeit a bit blockier than usual. If it doesn’t end up being your cup of tea, there’s a lot of anime fighters that feature Dragon Ball characters too.

5 Pilfering Pirates

Pilfering Pirates is a multiplayer fighting game between four enemy ships at once. It’s based on several popular multiplayer game modes that have come out throughout the years, such as the ship battles so popular on Garry’s Mod minigame servers.

The goal of the game is, of course, to destroy all other ships with cannons and hand-to-hand combat. Games can last minutes or much, much longer, depending on the skill of each team, though one usually ends up steamrolling the rest. The game is currently one of the most played, best fighting games on Roblox currently.

4 Demon Tower Defense

Demon Tower is a Roblox fighting game that features Tower Defense gameplay using characters and inspiration from the anime Demon Slayer. As with traditional Tower Defense games, the goal of Demon Tower Defense is to clear waves of enemies one after one.

The game is still in beta, but it has enough features and fun moments to make it worth a try – especially if you’re into Demon Slayer. Tower Defense games are always a good time, whether they be complex or simple, and having a Demon Slayer theme makes it that much more interesting.

3 Ninja Legends

Ninja Legends is a pretty neat fighting game that features agile movements, Ninjitsu, and lots and lots of combat. The game is notable for having over 1 billion visits despite having been released less than two years ago.

The game has a number of upgradable options, too, including permanent upgrades to pets and capacity and even unlocking a new location. When it comes to the best Roblox fighting games, this one is certainly worth checking out.

2 Anime Battle Arena

Anime Battle Arena is best compared to Jump Force, the fighting game that features a variety of characters from Shonen Jump. Characters like One Piece’s Luffy, Dragon Ball’s Goku, Bleach’s Ichigo, and even a number of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure characters all make an appearance.

The game has programmed combo attacks and special moves for each character, making it a lot more complex than most of the best fighting games on Roblox.

1 Muscle Legends

Muscle Legends is a pretty engaging game considering the limitations of the Roblox engine. Muscle Legends lets players train with gyms and PvP fights to become the “Muscle King” and prove their might over everyone else on the server.

It’s got a variety of game modes, a very active player base, and even a pet collecting system to have something to do beyond punching everybody in sight. While it’s not completely fighting-focused, it’s nonetheless one of the best fighting games in Roblox.
