There’s actually some strategy you can use for your attacks where you can target one enemy and use some characters’ special attacks to end up hitting a second or third enemy if they’re close enough. As you level up you gain Skill Points to level your attacks to make them more damaging and can add options to your basic combos. After choosing to attack you can line yourself up with your chosen enemy which can lead to some interesting attack ideas, then you have four actions you can take. Battles occur when you run into a group of enemies, so it’s not like a lot of other RPGs that have random encounters.Ĭombat is done using somewhat of a combo system. Each area allows you to take from one to three crew members with you depending on how many you have and which stage you’re on (for instance, “Episode 5” only allows you to take in Zoro for a one-on-one battle with another swordsman) and all you have to do is get to the end of each area and finally to a boss. You travel around the world map hitting up different towns and islands in search of the treasure known as One Piece and take down any pirates in your way. However as the game progresses you pick up more crew members, such as Zoro and Nami. Ten years later we see that Luffy is well on his way to becoming King of the Pirates, and this is where the game really begins.Īs the game begins you only have one member of your pirate crew: Luffy. After Shanks came to Luffy’s rescue he gave Luffy his straw hat and said that if he ever became a pirate to bring the hat back to him. Luffy didn’t care and after eating a treasure called Gum-Gum that turned his body to rubber, he actually stood up to a gang of bandits after they called Shanks’ pirates a bunch of wimps. When Luffy was a kid he wanted to go on voyages with a pirate named Shanks, but Shanks didn’t want to take Luffy with him due to the dangers of being a pirate on the high seas. Luffy, the series’ main protagonist, became a pirate…the entire first area is nothing but the story. If you’re unfamiliar with the story of One Piece, the game does an interesting job of explaining the story of how Monkey D.
With that let’s head for the Grand Line in the hopes of becoming the King of the Pirates in One Piece: Romance Dawn. However as I’m starting to have a renewed interest in the adventures of the Straw Hat Crew I’m hoping the same can be said for the games. As such I’ve only played one or two One Piece games and, like the series, never really got into them. I remember watching a bit of it when it debuted in the States back in 2004, but sadly never watched much of it, a decision I now regret as I’d like to get back into it, but I have a lot of catching up to do. I’ll admit right off that I don’t have the greatest of familiarity with One Piece.
