We demoed OnePiece Odyssey ahead of its January release date and its shaping up to be an strong RPG that's not just for fans.
The One Piece series is no stranger to the world of video games. Throughout the years we’ve seen the popular manga and anime series become a multimedia giant, and that has taken it into the realm of gaming spin-offs. However, we’ve never truly seen it in the Japanese role-playing genre where it belongs. That’s changing next month with One Piece Odyssey.
Like playing through the panels of the manga Off the bat, one thing that immediately stands out about One Piece Odyssey is that it’s chasing the series’ vision more than any game before it. When I jumped into the demo, I was pleased to find that the Straw Hat Pirates were depicted with the absolute best 3D models they’ve ever had. Every character felt like they jumped straight out of the manga, with their cartoonishly exaggerated expressions shining.
Grab some popcorn Jumping to the more theatrical parts of the game, the story begins with the crew landing on an island and losing access to their ship. They regroup and run into two mysterious characters who have vague intentions. After losing the expansive move kits they’ve learned throughout the series due to an inexplicable power from one of the two, the hunt is on.
Another big push for RPGs Though the fan service has me excited, it’s not what I’m most impressed by. It’s the fact that its director decided to go in such an admirable and ambitious direction with it in so many ways, including trying to make it accessible for non-One Piece and JRPG fans.
