There are all sorts of healing powers, status effects, and team attacks to master, as well as a rock paper scissors style system of different combat styles. Each battle sees your party of four chosen pirates taking turns to use a variety of special attacks to take out opponents.
Well I’m pleased to report that the turn-based combat is rather enjoyable. Now if you’re clueless when it comes to One Piece, you likely want to know more about the fighting in this hefty JRPG before jumping in. It’s a really clever way to include both audiences. This means even series veterans will have plenty of new story content to enjoy in One Piece Odyssey, while new fans can experience the gist of the story without watching a billion hours of anime. You see memory is a fickle thing that can’t be trusted, and because of that the events that take place in somewhere like Alabasta or Marineford might not be entirely the same as you remember from the anime. This means you’ll be playing through all your favourite arcs of the anime, but with a twist. To get your powers back, Lim explains that the Straw Hat crew will need to dive back into their memories and replay key events in their adventures to absorb some weird cubes. The new duo thankfully know how to get them back, but it will be a long and arduous adventure through time and space packed full of anime characters you know and love. It doesn’t take long for the crew to realise they aren’t alone on this tropical paradise, and a run in with new characters Adio and Lim ends with them losing all of their powers. Luffy and the gang are off on one of their usual adventures at sea, which ends rather abruptly when they get beached on a mysterious island harbouring a dark secret. If you’ve always dreamt of an epic (and incredibly long) JRPG featuring all your favourite members of the Straw Hat Pirates, then this just might be the game for you. I’ll never forget getting the opportunity to review Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot at the start of my first full year here at GodisaGeek, and now another year is beginning and One Piece Odyssey is here to usher it in. I’m not sure what it is about January, but this gateway to a brand new year seems to be the prime place to release highly anticipated video games based on anime.
