This was another One Piece game that (sort of) retells events from the series rather than having a 100% original storyline. It does have it's own characters and plot but it heavily relies on old characters and locations. If you want something completely new then you might want to avoid this.

There is a lot of extra content in the game. 60+ 'quests' that range from insultingly simple collection quests to challenging boss fights. The battle coliseum where you fight against bosses or waves of enemies and play through a separate mini-story. Then New Game+ which is as you could have guessed is a tougher version of the main game. I've played through the Story, some of NG+, the Coliseum and most of the quests and it took around 35 hours. Some of it is grindy but overall it was fun. The combat does get a little repetitive but you can always change which characters you take on missions with you, all nine Strawhats play differently and you can alter which Strong Words (like abilities) you have equipped to customise them more.

Other reviews mention a lack of fullscreen but you CAN play fullscreen, you just need to enable it in the options (I think it is off by default for some reason). I've also seen complaints about poor performance but I've had a solid 60FPS on my laptop and only one weird crash. A big problem is that the controller support isn't great. It shows directions on the left stick as 29, 30, 31, 32 which can be confusing at first. Luckily you only need to use those inputs when catching bugs and after upgrading your bug net enough it doesn't really matter.

I'm a One Piece fan so I'm a little biased in favour of the game. It is by no means perfect but I would still recommend it. If you want an interesting unique story then maybe give it a miss, if you want something fun that you can play every now and again then it is worth a look.

"so–so"
That is how I feel after 20 hours of playing this game.
For fans of One Piece, this is the game.


Pros +
- Nice port (in comparison to other port games) + Controller function well
- Colorful and smooth graphics and Gameplay
- Lots of side quests (maybe from DLC), and they're better than the main quest.
- Character attribute for changing clothes
- More readily available material, particularly for Bugs
- Boss fight was exciting and challenging.
- Everything is simple with dodge and counterattack.


Cons -
- Bad camera angle
- No cooperatives! the game is excellent! yet no Co-op!
- There are not many unique movements, and they are all boring.
- Less adventure than Unlimited Adventure/Cruise (Wii)
: In Adven/Cruise we crafting thing that improve/get new character movement and ability to access some/new area but in Red main crafting just for easier/possible catching bug and fishing and just improve town... so very disappointment.
-Boring main quest: They came with the same item and the same procedure (go through the map's edge, chat to a nearby wall, then return to kill the enemy
- I'm not accustomed to rhythm games, which is why the fishing minigame aggravates me!
- Can't transform or take on another form without Gears 2, 3, or 4?
Well, well, well.

I recommend this for anyone who is a fan of One Piece and wants more of an RPG feel than a Fighting game feel. It gets grindy if you want all the achievements, but very few games don't.

I wanted to play this as a quick One Piece fix, didn't expect much and, man, you gotta believe me that I was going to give this a chance, but the game still managed to disappoint with its mind-numbing "action", irrelevant crafting (for which the game forces you to replay those lifeless, empty stages again and again), a dull afterthought of a city building minigame and the story about yet another f♥♥kface who can summon scenes and villains from the most popular arcs (no joke).

The graphics capture the style perfectly, but stages are so lifeless, enemies so static and special attacks so unimpressive that even that ends up being kind of depressing.

Also, keep in mind that co-op has been removed in the PC version. Considering that played alone this game is just sad, I don't think this is worth the asking price at all.

If you enjoy unlimited cruise, then you'll be dissapointed. You can only bring 3 char per stage. Cooking and upgrade being done by townpeople. Not many moves in battle. Fishing and bug catching mostly random. Enemy boss not so variant. You can not enter Thousan sunny.

I am very much enjoying this game so far. I am a massive one piece fan so I think if you are not a fan of one piece then this game not be for you. I had issues getting my controller to work but after rebinding some of the keyboard keys this game works great with mouse and keyboard. I highly recommend this to any one piece fan, it runs great on my pc.

The game was generally a lot of fun, there are a few little things that seemed a bit meh about the game but hey it’s a portable game that was ported over so yeah don’t go expecting a full AAA feeling title. If you like One Piece you should generally enjoy this game.

So let me first mention the bad parts of the game, the general gameplay loop is quite stupid, go to an area, beat enemies (fun part), get to a locked point that requires you to backtrack and find the “word” to open the entrance (bad part), and do this over and over with every level multiple times -_- quite lame.

The overworld is quite unimaginative and definitely not fun to go through and explore every time between missions to see if there is something new to do/get there. Eeeeeh, upgrading the city is also quite silly as you know … this is One Piece, not every game needs a city upgrading mechanic.

Now the story of the game I quite enjoyed, it has the perfect excuse to use old enemies and environments, I couldn’t have thought of a better way to tell a new story while revisiting the old plot points in the series. So for that, I praise this game :).

The combat is fun and it's cool that you can do special attacks that are sometimes quite over the top, and it's a nice addition to have a member of the crew join you and help you kick some ass :).

I don’t have much more to say about the game, it was definitely a fun experience that gets a bit boring at some points but still overall a very fun experience that I am happy I experience, the price is really the biggest hurdle as it should be going for $20 max and not the 30$ it’s going for this side (In South Africa) as it is at the end of the day a port of a portable game so yeah. Anyways, I give this game a 3.5/5!

For One piece fans only recommended.

The controller support for this game isn't very good. Multiple times throughout the game you'll be instructed to press "Button 31" or "Button 39"... Usually you can get through those parts without too much trouble. But there's an aspect of the game where you need to quickly press buttons on the screen in a quicktime event to catch creatures, which is pretty much impossible with the buttons labelled the way they are.

Works more or less like a One Piece movie and that's why it's so easy to fit into the canon world. Full of what-ifs and references both in the main storyline as well as additional missions that goes to show that the people behind the game know the source material rather well. Also full of rather engaging side content. The gameplay mechanics and combat don't have a lot of depth to them but you probably won't mind this if you're a fan of the franchise since the models look good and you've got a nice amount of at least surface-level customization for the individual characters. Definitely worth the 5€ I paid for it.
