Plenty. Dragon Ball fans can relive the whole story in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, Naruto fans have the Ultimate Ninja Storm series, and One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 lets you smash through armies as the Straw Hat crew.

Anime is a style, not a genre, so there is something for almost everyone. Fans of long adventures can pick JRPGs like Tales of Berseria or Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana, strategy fans can lead a squad in Valkyria Chronicles 4, and mystery lovers can get lost in visual novels like Steins;Gate 0 or Zero Escape: The Nonary Games. Want a slower pace? Story of Seasons lets you run your own farm. For more games with great plots, see our Story-Rich Games list.

Yes - some of the most popular anime-style games are free to play, like Zenless Zone Zero, where you only pay for optional extras. Find more games you can start for free in our Free-to-Play Games list.

Many anime games - especially fighting games and games based on shows - keep adding characters and story chapters through season passes for years after launch. If you know you will play a lot, an Ultimate or Deluxe edition with the pass included is often the better deal, especially on sale.
