It’s a neat idea, but not one that was fleshed out well. The only time I find myself using it is to break tracking systems inside the Prison. One Piece World Seeker also has a ranged combat option for Luffy, but it’s honestly pretty pointless without a lot of SP invested. This is a game where I’ve actually been able to Stealth Kill, which made me terribly happy. If you sneak up on Navy troops, you can stealth kill them, and will even gain ways to a takedown from below or above, with Skill Points. Enemies can typically hear you coming, and you’ll see their Yellow Symbol change to Red when they’re actively hunting you. Learning to dodge efficiently will be a godsend. The robot encounters can be difficult too though if they’re in large numbers. Combat is easy, but it makes sense that Luffy isn’t overwhelmed by anything that comes his way at least. For me, that was typically Gum Gum Red Hawk (Luffy rears back and pounds his targets with a gigantic fist). Just build up your Tension Meter by punching their cronies into custard, hold L1, and use one of your Battle Powers. He doesn’t have to keep track of tons of restorative items and use them in battle. Luffy is pretty damn strong though, and I’m glad that he regens at a decent pace. I appreciate this because otherwise, Luffy would just batter almost anything and anyone in his way. There is a particular material their bullets are made of, that can even harm the Devil Fruit users.
We learn about the plight of this island, controlled by the Navy, and they even explain how Luffy can be harmed by the Navy weapons. So, the Straw Hats can’t leave the island, because 1. That’s one minor nitpick – activating treasure chests having a meter, and it can be hard to stop and start activating. Luffy thankfully isn’t restrained by a Stamina meter, and can just run forever, but it makes it hard to stop and talk to NPCs as well as pick up chests. That makes traveling through the areas to get to side quests much easier, the longer the game goes on. Thankfully, if you’ve been to an area, you can fast travel back, provided you aren’t in combat. I will say that the island is absolutely massive. Without fast travel, this could take ages to traverse. Somehow, we crash at Prison Island and have to fight bunches of Navy officers to save these poor oppressed people. They help him craft new gear, costumes, food, and ultimately (hopefully) save Prison Island.
However, the focus here is on Mugiwara Luffy, with the rest of the Straw Hats as supporting cast. It was filled with hordes of characters to pummel, with all of the cool One Piece characters that I wanted to play as.
I’ve played a few of the One Piece games over the years, and before this, my favorite was probably One Piece Musou 3. With that, I wonder if World Seeker is officially canon, and if so, where does it fit into the present timeline of One Piece? Perhaps someone that knows more can help me with that. The story being written by Oda himself does a lot for me, adding legitimacy to the game.
#ONE PIECE WORLD SEEKER GEAR 4 SERIES#
That being said, One Piece World Seeker has been charming enough to convince me to give the series another shot. Truth be told, One Piece has never been in my “top anime” list, though this is not the place for that particular write-up.
