One genre that has taken gamers by storm in recent years is a mixture of open-world, anime, and gacha, as seen in games like Neverness to Everness (or NTE for short). While the game is a compelling combination that keeps fans coming back, you might be looking for something similar to round out your library. Below are 10 games that are perfect for you if you love the style and mechanics of Neverness to Everness.
10. The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin
Released on March 16, 2026, for PS5, PC, and mobile, The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin offers a vast realm and familiar faces like Prince Tristan of Liones. While it features colorful combat and hidden secrets, the experience is hindered by being overly grindy and failing to do justice to the source material's characters.
9. Tower of Fantasy
Since Tower of Fantasy was developed by Hotta Studio—the same team behind Neverness to Everness—it serves as a perfect companion piece. It features a world wrecked by greed, customizable avatars, and stamina-based exploration. While reception was mixed, it provided the blueprint that eventually led to the improvements seen in NTE.
8. Digimon World: Next Order
This JRPG allows you to manage a team of two partners in real-time combat. While it lacks the randomized gacha elements of more modern titles, it offers a robust collection of over 200 Digimon to unlock and focuses on building a bond with your digital monsters.
7. Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot
If you enjoy the aesthetic of anime-inspired games, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot lets you play through the major sagas of the series. It is a massive action RPG that captures the series' most famous battles, though your enjoyment will largely depend on how much of a diehard fan you are of the franchise.
6. Final Fantasy XIV
After a difficult launch, Final Fantasy XIV evolved into a critical darling. It features class-based combat, a massive world, and a storyline considered by many to be the best in the franchise. With expansions like Dawntrail and its upcoming release on the Nintendo Switch 2, it remains a pillar of the genre.
5. One Piece Odyssey
Though more linear than a true open-world game, One Piece Odyssey features beautiful anime visuals and turn-based combat. It allows players to utilize character-specific powers to explore, making it a solid choice for fans of the source material who want a JRPG experience.
4. Yakuza: Like a Dragon
This title puts a wild, JRPG-inspired spin on the Yakuza formula. You play as Ichiban Kasuga, a character attempting to be a hero in a world filled with bizarre "jobs," turn-based combat, and classic series activities like karaoke and gambling.
3. Wuthering Waves
Set in the post-apocalyptic world of Solaris-3, Wuthering Waves is highly similar to Neverness to Everness. It features amnesiac protagonists, gacha-based loot, and a unique combat system centered on "Intro" and "Outro" skills that trigger when switching characters.
2. Zenless Zone Zero
Developed by HoYoverse, this action RPG focuses on navigating "Hollows" with a team of agents and bunny bots. It leans heavily into randomized gacha mechanics and rewards players for dazing foes to set up chain attacks in a stylish, episodic format.
1. Arknights: Endfield
As an ambitious project from Hypergryph, Arknights: Endfield stands out by combining strategy, base building, and combo-based real-time combat. It allows players to freely jump between team members to execute strategies, offering a modern flair that plays similarly to classic PS2-era JRPGs.
