It’s a fun way to tie memorable quotes from the series into strengthening your characters. You equip “Strong Words”, as ludicrous as that sounds, which have their own effects for each character. The equipment system is a strange one, but one that’s still effective. Even against singular bosses, you’ll typically find one attack or strategy that works and stick to it until you’ve won. The battles become somewhat derivative as time goes on, as having a set number of combos and only 3 unique super attacks means that over the 9 chapters that make up Unlimited World, the combat will wear thin before you finish the story mode. As three members of the Straw Hat crew, you run through a themed area and blow through hordes of enemies with crazy and colorful attacks. The gameplay of Unlimited World would be best described as musou-lite with RPG elements. “The narrative feels fitting of a filler arc or a movie set in the series’s universe in that it isn’t particularly important, or more so, it feels tacked on.” Original stories in games based on anime can be a lot of fun when they stay grounded, so it’s unfortunate that Unlimited World needlessly tries to retroactively add to the lore of an already well-established story.

There are One Piece -themed bars and shops, and you’d be hard-pressed to visit a gift store with no merchandise from the series. ![]() Kids and adults alike read the manga every week, or watch the anime every Sunday. One Piece almost transcends pop culture in its country of origin. It’s hard to overstate just how ridiculously enormous One Piece is in Japan. Let’s be straight: I love One Piece, and I’m not alone in that regard. MonsterVine was provided with a PS4 code for review.
