One Piece itself is a franchise that rests heavily on the epic “boss” battles between Luffy and his crew, and one terrifying weirdo or another. The emotional collection that you’re meant to develop with your favourite characters in this game rests on you having a pre-existing knowledge of the characters and events of One Piece, because the game’s barely able to tell you what point in the story that you’re up to.Īssuming, then, that you have that prerequisite understanding of One Piece, what you’ll love about this particular Warriors title is the boss battles.
However, the game also acts as a poor introduction to One Piece, because the story arcs really are summarised with an efficiency for words that is counter-intuitive, but so extreme it's really quite impressive. I must admit I’m getting rather tired of games running over that same origins story for One Piece (why not try writing an original tale?), but to the game’s benefit, the anime does introduce characters slowly, so you also won’t step into this one overwhelmed for choices if you’re a little less familiar with One Piece. Not all of it, since the series is up to its 10,000th episode (perhaps an exaggeration, but only a slight one), but a lot more of it than I would have expected from a single game. One Piece Warriors 3 kicks things off with the very origins of the series’ lead, Luffy, and progresses through a surprising amount of the anime. It’ll be overshadowed by releasing around a week before the Hyrule Warriors, but even still, One Piece fans – and anyone who enjoys a good Warriors game – will appreciate this one.
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 Deluxe Edition is a game that you won’t finish quickly, nor grow tired of. Related reading: Our review of the game's initial release, back in 2015Īnd now the series has landed on the Nintendo Switch.
