What Arslan video games are there?

Three games across twenty-four years: a strategy RPG, a Warriors crossover, and a phone game that is already gone.

Arslan was never a gaming franchise, which makes its three excursions easier to document whole. The first is a Mega-CD strategy game, not a Super Famicom title, as some listings claim; no SNES Arslan exists. The second handed Pars to the Dynasty Warriors machine. The third lived on phones for sixteen months.

THE THREE GAMES

Mega-CD · Warriors · Mobile
Arslan Senki · Mega-CD · November 19, 1993
Sega’s tactical RPG, priced ¥7,800, played on a square grid in the Fire Emblem manner and built as a companion to the anime films and OVAs, CD cutscenes and all. Japan only; it remains the import shelf’s Arslan.
Arslan Senki × Musou · PS3/PS4 · October 1, 2015
Omega Force’s crossover: the 2015 anime’s first season retold as a Warriors campaign, Daryun against three hundred thousand Lusitanians at last being a fair fight.
Arslan: The Warriors of Legend · West · February 9, 2016
The Western edition added Xbox One and PC (Steam) versions. It is, incidentally, the most widely available piece of Arslan in English.
Warrior’s Qualification · Mobile · 2017–2018
Sakura Soft’s smartphone game, based on Arakawa’s manga, launched April 27, 2017 and terminated August 16, 2018, preserved now only in its documentation.
