13 Games Like The Spike: Volleyball Story (2026)

Last updated: October 18, 2026

If you finished The Spike: Volleyball Story (now The Spike Cross) and want more, a generic top 10 volleyball games list won’t help — it just throws every volleyball app at you. This list is different. Every game below is matched to the specific thing you liked about The Spike, so you can skip straight to the part that matters to you.

One note on how we built this: most ranking pages for this keyword are unfiltered app-store clones — one includes a mosquito simulator and romance novels, another mixes in UFC and Brawl Stars, and one lists mostly paid PC games. This article is hand-curated and similarity-mapped. Where a fact couldn’t be verified, we print — instead of guessing.

Quick comparison: 13 games like The Spike

If you liked The Spike’s story mode and RPG progression

Volley Girls: High School Story

The closest cousin on this list. It comes from DAERI SOFT, the same studio behind the original The Spike, and it shows in the anime presentation. It is a 4-on-4 volleyball game with a proper high-school story mode, and it has an offline practice mode. At ~170 MB and 4.4★, it is lighter than The Spike and a natural next stop if story is what hooked you.

HAIKYU!! FLY HIGH

The official licensed game of the Haikyu!! anime, and the highest-rated game on this list at 4.67★. But know what you are getting: this is a tactical gacha RPG with turn-based matches, not a skill-based sim. You collect and command the anime team rather than controlling a player yourself. It needs a constant connection and takes a hefty 2.73 GB. Play it for the anime, not for realistic volleyball. If you want a full breakdown of games in this lane, see our guide to volleyball games like Haikyuu Fly High.

Volleyball Champions 3D

A 3D volleyball game with a career mode and an RPG layer, plus split-screen and online play. Offline play is confirmed. Size and rating are unverified.

If you want real volleyball, full 6v6

Volleyball Championship

The purist’s pick. A top-down, realistic 6v6 game with 60+ national teams, free with ads, at 147.6 MB and 4.32★. It plays like broadcast volleyball rather than an arcade game. Two honest caveats from players: a recent update locked previously-free features behind paywalls and energy, and offline support is unverified — buy it for the gameplay, not for offline play.

Court Six: Volleyball 3D

Single-player 3D volleyball with full 6v6 matches, club building, and 3 leagues. The core gameplay works offline, there are no ads, and it is free with optional in-app purchases. Size and rating are unverified. If you want a full 6v6 career you can play without a connection, this is the one to try first.

If you liked building a squad and thinking tactically

VolleyBall King

A 3v3 game about team-building and management: recruit players, train them, and climb the ranks. It is free with ads, ~127 MB, and rated 4.1★ (Play-sourced). Offline support is unverified. Pick this if the management layer — not the action — is what kept you playing.

Spike Masters Volleyball

The thinking player’s volleyball game. Instead of flashy anime action, it focuses on tactics: positions, rotations, and real indoor volleyball structure. It is free, ~91 MB, and rated ~4.2★. Offline support is unverified. The smallest full volleyball game on this list, and the best fit if tactics are your thing.

If you want online PvP

Volleyball Arena: Spike Hard

An arcade 1v1 online PvP game from Miniclip, built around real-time matches with power-ups. It is 151 MB, 4.5★, free with ads and in-app purchases, and training against AI works offline — but the main event needs a connection. Player complaints are worth knowing before you download: opponents can feel like bots, power-ups can feel unfair, you can’t play with friends, and the game has a pay-to-win feel. If real people matter more than realism, this is still the strongest PvP pick here.

If you want something totally different

Roll Spike Sepak Takraw

Volleyball’s cousin: kick-volleyball, arcade-style, free. You spike with your feet, not your hands. Size and offline support are unverified. Rating is 4.7★ on Uptodown (attributed — not a Play Store figure). A fun detour when regular volleyball gets stale.

Stickman Volleyball

A 2D stickman beach volleyball game running at 60fps, with 25+ locations and 36 teams. Single-player offline play works, and it is free. Size and rating are unverified. Light, silly, and genuinely playable offline.

Spikair Volleyball

A 4v4 timing-based volleyball game inspired by Haikyu, and the closest thing on this list to The Spike’s reflex-based gameplay. The catch: it is PC and Steam Deck only — not Android — and it is paid on Steam. Worth it if you play on PC and want timing skill to matter.

Beastieball

A turn-based volleyball RPG — Pokémon meets Haikyu — where you recruit beastie creatures and battle through volleyball matches. It is PC Steam Early Access only (not Android) and costs ~$25. The weirdest and most original game on this list.

How to pick

• Story first: Volley Girls: High School Story, then HAIKYU!! FLY HIGH.
• Real 6v6: Volleyball Championship for realism, Court Six for offline career.
• Tactics and team-building: Spike Masters Volleyball, VolleyBall King.
• Online competition: Volleyball Arena: Spike Hard.
• Something different: Roll Spike Sepak Takraw, Stickman Volleyball, or Beastieball on PC.
