One Piece: World Seeker

The Straw Hat Crew’s New Adventure

The Straw Hat crew from the famous One Piece manga returns this year with a new adventure in One Piece: World Seeker, offering the first open-world experience in the history of games based on the title. After going through the experience, we will share our experience with the game and its review in the following lines.

The story begins with the crew on Prison Island, specifically Sky Prison, where the crew tries to steal a treasure hidden there, only to find out that there is no treasure and the whole thing was a trap. From here the events begin. You will learn more about the secret of the island, which was previously called Jewel Island. Or Jewel Island, and the story serves at best to justify the events and is nothing that sets the experience apart or stands out.

The game is aimed at fans of the famous manga, and it seems that the aim was to sell the game to them and not to general gamers, since the budget is very modest and this is evident at first glance, as well the technical level is very uneven and can be said to be below average at best. The dialogues lack voice acting as we hear some voices. For characters who may just express excitement or amazement, and the dialogues are pushed forward at the push of a button. Like visual novel games, the music is there and you can say that it is good, but as I said, the game is aimed specifically fans and with the lowest possible budget to deliver an open world game.

The game system is very simple. You play as Monkey D. Luffy, nicknamed “Straw Hat.” The control system is limited to movement and an attack button, as well as a button that lets you fire some long-range missiles. The character has two combat modes: Armor Haki Mode, which allows you to perform powerful but slow attacks, and Observation Haki Mode, which makes attacks fast but less effective. Each phase has a special function that can be activated at the touch of a button.

Simple Combat System

When fighting and hitting enemies, the voltage meter, which consists of three levels, is filled and this meter can be used to perform special attacks, the strength of which depends on the level of the meter required. The character’s special attacks are very limited and the combinations you will perform consist of repeating the same moves over and over again and performing a few distinctive attacks. Although the game system is very simple and without complexity, the ability to dodge the opponent sometimes does not work as smoothly as necessary, with the character’s slow reaction, especially when attacking, as he is unable to stop the attack to stop and avoid.

You will meet many of the powerful and famous characters that appear in the manga in the form of leaders, and most of the famous Marine Corps characters that you might think of will get in your way at some point. The experience begins in a The difficulty level is balanced, but as we progress the difficulty level becomes noticeably unbalanced. Repeatedly it destroys the simple pleasure that exists.

Exploring the Open World

You can improve your combat and exploration skills through the skill tree, which requires a certain number of points that you get from defeating enemies and completing missions. The skill tree contains some good improvements, but many of the skills in it are strange and useless, and it was possible to add more useful skills to improve your skills. You can also use some of the tools you get by completing some missions, in addition to crafting them with the resources you collect, such as: B. Rings that increase Strengthen your attacks or increase your life points.

Over time you will get to know the Straw Hat crew and some of them will take on assistant roles for you. For example, Sanji cooks meals for the crew members and in return, these members are sent out to find valuable resources for them. Franky and Usopp are able to create tools that improve your character in addition to creating new costumes, and it is also possible to destroy unneeded tools to obtain resources from them.

Developing Relationships and Side Missions

There is a karma system that develops the relationship between you and the characters on the island, including friends, island residents and enemies too. If you want to develop the relationship through this system, you will find a special list of a select one or more characters with whom you want to develop a relationship, and the list will inform you of the tasks that need to be completed in order to do this to reach. As you develop your relationship with these characters, in addition to meeting them, you will also be able to have some private conversations. There are more missions to complete, some of which will take you to new areas.

The game offers four different difficulty levels: normal, difficult, very difficult and maximum. If you pass the difficult experience, you can spend between 10 and 12 hours completing the experience if you complete some of the main missions in addition to some side missions, and the game sometimes forces you to complete side missions. This is a negative thing and I don’t know why some games of this type do this. You can spend some time searching for treasures and increasing your level in the karma system and other missions. Ultimately, the game offers an average experience at best and, as mentioned, is aimed specifically at manga fans.
