20 [Similar Anime] Like Darwin’s Game

Same type anime with 'Survival Game' on phone.Mirai Nikki has Thrill & Darwin's game have some mystery.Darwin's game is about trapped in a Mobile App and to survive, player have to kill other player.Same goes to mirai nikki,player has a 'Future Diary' to read their opponent players future.One player has to destroy other players diaries to defeat them.In Darwin's Game,Each player has a ability named 'Sigil' to fight other player with super powers.Also in Mirai Nikki,Each player has different diaries with different super power.

Darwin's Game starts with very strong Mirai Nikki vibes, mostly from the relatively average and inexperienced dark-haired male MC with a crazy killer female MC who loves him and protects him from the twisted game they're participating in.
Darwin's Game is different enough, largely in that it's a game open to an infinite number of people, while Mirai Nikki was only between 12 people, but the characters in both series still have to be wary of everyone around them in public in case they're being targeted.
Another key difference is Darwin's Game's Sigils, which are super powers unique to each individual player. While Mirai Nikki also has the characters with unique abilities, they are all tied to telling the future in some way, and Darwin's Game has no such restriction.

Similarities:

1) The main characters are both trapped in a survival game.
2) In Darwin's Game the plot is progressing in Tokyo while in Btooom's case, the protagonist is transported to an unknown island along with the other players.
3) In both anime the female protagonist is in love with the main character and tries to assist him
4) Sudou Kaname is quite similar to Sakamoto Ryouta (Btooom's protagonist) with quick thinking and puzzle solving skills.
5) All of the players, in both anime, are given something (bombs in Btooom & sigils in D-Game) to either kill others or avoid being killed.

I describe Darwin's Game as a cross between Future Diary and King's Game. Both death games with gruesome deaths.
