ONE PIECE ODYSSEY

ONE PIECE ODYSSEY is a role-playing game based on the famous manga, released on the anniversary of the series. The story is again dedicated to the adventures of a familiar team, but this time they are taken to a place from which it is not so easy to get out: the ship suffers a disaster, and the heroes find themselves on a strange island. Combat is turn-based, and this sets the game apart from most action games in the franchise. The order of moves, the vulnerabilities of opponents and the timely use of skills are more important than the speed of pressing. The team is made up of recognizable characters, each with their own role and their own techniques, so the composition affects the tactics. In addition to the main line, there are tasks, a camp and communication between the heroes: scenes reveal relationships within the team, which is the main value for fans of the series. The world is presented as a series of locations with their own mysteries. It is also worth noting that each hero has his own set of skills, and as the story progresses, new techniques are revealed, some of which only work in conjunction with comrades. In addition to battles, there is a camp where you can arrange your daily life and talk with the team. Bosses require analysis: each has its own order of attacks, and blindly repeating one pattern will not work here. The game is long and designed to last tens of hours, but it can be played at a comfortable pace, returning to the plot in chapters. It is also worth noting that between chapters you can freely return to completed places for missed tasks. The game is aimed primarily at fans and does not require knowledge of the original to understand the mechanics. For those who love JRPGs with turn-based battles and familiar faces, the ONE PIECE ODYSSEY delivers.
