Anime Last Stand is a tower defense game where you must clear strong enemy waves by placing your favorite anime characters on the field. The experience is divided into two Worlds, linked in a story progression style. Inside World 2, you can access the Survival game mode, which has you enter a dungeon and survive waves of enemies for a set amount of time. On November 10, 2025, the game added a new Survival stage called Royal Capital, which grants a wealth of loot and rewards.
