Never one to turn a blind eye towards the troubles of the little people, our hero agrees to help Jeanne and the Anti-Navy resistance to rebel against their oppressors. The Pro-Navy inhabitants live a life of comfort afforded by Isaac and the Navy as their new governors, while their counterparts struggle under their draconian regime. They get to talking, and she eventually explains that the island’s populace has been split between Pro- and Anti-Navy factions in the aftermath of a protracted war. Once our hero crash lands on Prison Island, he befriends a new character called Jeanne. Unfortunately, the plan turned out to be a trap, resulting in Luffy escaping the flying fortress to elude the clutches of Isaac, the tyrannical warden of the entire region.

With the power of his rubbery physique, Luffy sets sail on an epic treasure hunt across endless seas where he encounters new friends, gains new crew mates, and confronts formidable enemies.Įight hundred plus episodes later, and we have One Piece: World Seeker opening with our man being detained in a sky prison floating above a union of islands named ‘Prison Island.’ It seems Luffy allowed himself to be incarcerated as a distraction while the rest of Straw Hats crew break into a vault somewhere below. The fruit made him stronger, highly resistant to enemy attacks, and enables him to stretch his body into extraordinary shapes much like Mrs Incredible or Mister Fantastic. Yet, Luffy’s whimsical straw hat and flip flops belie his true abilities because he accidentally ate the ‘Gum Gum’ devil fruit as a boy. Except, of course, that it is stretched to an encyclopedic length with the distinctive quirkiness and fanfare that only an anime can pull off.

Whoever holds this legendary booty will be proclaimed as king of all the pirates, so the series is sort of like Pirates of the Caribbean.
Luffy and his pirate crew on their quest to obtain the eponymous ‘One Piece’ treasure.
This is simply not the One Piece game it should have been.įor the unfamiliar, One Piece is a long-running manga and anime series based around the escapades of Monkey D. Nevertheless, the repetitive nature of side quests, and the underwhelming attempt at world building, simply did not take advantage of the rich and varied source material that is its namesake. The combat mechanics were relatively enjoyable, and it is obvious that the developers have put some serious elbow grease into the game’s visual representation. While there are merits to the idea of building a One Piece game out of a sandbox formula, I don’t think One Piece: World Seeker represents that game. Luffy, one of the most famous faces in anime. Thanks to the power of modern platforms, and not least of all the might of the Unreal Engine 4, gamers have the chance to immerse themselves into Luffy’s adventures like never before. Luffy, but this time with unparalleled freedom to explore, to find collectables, and pummel hoards of marines with his iconic, elastic fisticuffs. Veteran One Piece developers, Ganbarion, have yet again given players the chance to don the straw hat of protagonist Monkey D.
Now the series has finally sailed into the treacherous waters of the open world, sandbox genre. Some quick research revealed that One Piece has inspired several beat ‘em ups, fighting games, turn-based JRPG’s, action-adventure games, and even a baseball game. Unbeknownst to me, the now eight hundred and seventy-three episode anime has actually ventured into our industry numerous times over the last nineteen years. When I first heard of One Piece: World Seeker, I remember thinking it was about time they brought one of Shonen Jump’s most widely-beloved exports to gaming.
