![]() Rather than find new weapons or pieces of armor, you find accessories of varying sizes and shapes that you must fit onto an ever-expanding grid. It was more that it forced me to pay more attention to my characters’ equipment loadouts, which at least is fun in its own right. Towards the very end there’s a significant bump in difficulty, but even then I never felt like it made for more challenging or particularly fun battles. Read the full One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 review It’s still a tough sell to a non-One Piece fan, but as someone who absolutely loves One Piece and was only just sort of into Musou games, I found a ton to like in Pirate Warriors 4. One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is a great One Piece game, and though it wears its many flaws on its sleeveless, red button-down top and straw hat, its smart additions to combat go a long way in reducing the notorious tedium that typically plagues the musou genre. ![]() Once all four characters in your active party have taken an action, the round of combat ends and everyone is able to act once again. You’re also able to see which of your enemies will be next up to take their turn and try and plan around that as well. ![]() Even if they’re not in your active party of four characters, you can freely swap them in without taking up a turn. What makes this system work is that there’s no traditional turn order, and you can just freely pick whatever character you want to take the first move in combat. Power beats speed, technique beats power, and speed beats technique. The traditional turn-based combat is powered by a rock/paper/scissors logic that assigns every party member, enemy, and boss a damage type of either power, speed, or technique. One Piece Odyssey’s combat is refreshingly simple, though that simplicity does wind up being a double-edged sword. Moments like these are the heart of One Piece Odyssey’s story, and they’re brought to life brilliantly thanks to writing that feels totally in step with the anime and manga, excellent performances, and a fantastic art style that authentically translates the unique style of One Piece to 3D. Even small things, like the crew reacting to seeing the Going Merry docked at Alabasta, is a moment that provides a powerful emotional gut punch for any long-time fan like myself. These come in the form of “what if”-like scenarios that have the crew revisiting pivotal moments from the series with new perspectives. This makes it a tough recommendation for anybody new to the series, but if you’re deeply invested in the world and characters of One Piece, there are some really great payoffs in the Memoria chapters. Players will also be able to coordinate attacks between multiple members of their party to create unique team-up attacks.It should be noted that Odyssey is aimed directly at long-time One Piece fans, with its story picking up well after the Dressrosa arc (about 750 episodes in), and it is not shy about diving deep into some of the biggest surprises of the show. ![]() Tsuzuki used Sanji being surrounded by female opponents and thus being unable to act as an example of this mechanic. The game's battle system will feature a gameplay mechanic called "Dramatic Scene," in which a character can get randomly caught up in a dangerous predicament, and the player will be required to make creative use of each Straw Hat pirate's abilities in order to overcome the situation. Luffy, but the entire Straw Hat Crew together. According to Tsuzuki, the team behind the game decided to make an RPG to give players the feeling of controlling not just Monkey D. The video also showcases more of Odyssey's gameplay, which looks to be inspired by classic turn-based JRPGs such as Dragon Quest. According to the video, Oda created the two new characters after being shown early footage from the game's development. ![]() Oda previously stated that he designed the characters over three years ago. The first of these new character is Adio Suerte, a mysterious adventurer whose arms are covered with tattoos, and Lim, a mysterious young woman who lives on Waford, the uncharted island that serves as the setting for the game.
