![]() ![]() ![]() He also has the Observation Haki which allows him to detect items and rare enemies. Luffy can extend his arms to reach high places or grab far-away items. The abilities also feel unique to each character, and highlight their strengths and weaknesses. The synergy between crew members is relayed to the player through small inputs and actions, which creates a cohesive and satisfying experience. For example, shooting down a bird’s nest as Usopp with his slingshot, then switching to Luffy and using his rubber arms to grab the item inside without having to take a step, is a rewarding experience – especially as you get further into the game and these actions become second nature. ![]() Needing to think about puzzles and how to use your crew to solve them makes for an engaging experience that adds some thought to exploring the world. In the overworld, each member of the Straw Hat Pirates has their own unique ability that lets you explore the world of Waford in more depth, largely by solving environmental puzzles. Having the opportunity to play as every crew member at almost any point in the game is One Piece Odyssey’s biggest draw card, and this feature extends outside of battles as well.

The rock-paper-scissors battle system takes each character’s fighting style into consideration – the system is Power > Speed > Technique. The Scramble Area Battle System is beneficial since you can pre-determine where you place the crew for each fight, ensuring that healers and mages are less likely to be attacked, while tanks and fighters are on the frontline. In addition, enemies and crew members can occupy the same zones and be moved around to different zones through player-control (for crew members) and attacks and abilities (for enemies). The simplicity of the battles allows the game to let the personalities of these characters and their animations become the main focus, with gorgeous visuals and interesting abilities keeping things lively.ĭuring battles, characters and enemies are placed in random zones relative to your battle formation selection, known as the Scramble Area Battle System, allowing for combat to be either close or long range depending on where they’re placed ahead of the action.
