Online 3D fighting RPG with three clans, gear sets and a regional leaderboard
Fighting games for Android, grouped by fighting style
Fighting games on Android split into a few clear sub-types, and the nine apps in this catalog cover most of them. Shadow Fight 3 from NEKKI is a story-driven brawler with three fighting styles. Marvel Contest of Champions and DRAGON BALL LEGENDS are licensed roster games built around collecting characters. Stickman Dragon Fight, Stickman Demon Fight Warrior and Stickman Cursed Fight 3v3 lean on team battles and tournaments. Slapstick Fighter uses physics and ragdoll knockouts, and The King of Fighters AFK turns the series into an idle game.

Best-of lists
Before installing, compare the rating with the install base. Stickman Cursed Fight 3v3 and Stickman Demon Fight Warrior both show a 4.9 rating on Google Play, but with over 5 million and over 10 million installs, far fewer than the 100 million of Shadow Fight 3. A high score from a smaller audience tells you less. Also read the store page for purchase details, since every app here has in-app purchases and The King of Fighters AFK advertises a bundle of draws and rubies.
