I've never seen the anime or read the manga, but I'm still charmed by OnePieceOdyssey's user-friendly RPG gameplay.
There’s no reason that I should enjoy One Piece Odyssey as much as I currently do. I’ve never seen an episode of the anime or read a page of the manga. The game itself isn’t a terribly good introduction to either one, tossing a whole cast of characters at me without telling me who they are. Within a few hours, I’m deep in a fan service plot filled with references to the series I don’t understand and in-jokes that go above my head.
Quality of life If you’re not a fan of the source material, One Piece Odyssey is defined by its quality of life decisions. It’s a relatively straightforward turn-based RPG that isn’t bogged down by dozens of complicated systems. In fact, it goes out of its way to make sure players never feel lost. I first got that sense when exploring in the third person, as a sidebar on the right side of the screen clearly lays out what every single button does.
Combat itself is just as player-friendly, taking great care to remove a lot of frustration from battle. For instance, players can swap characters with another party member as a free action. Anytime I walk into an encounter and find I have a party with the wrong attack type equipped, I can simply switch to someone else and still attack on that turn. There’s no punishment for not being able to read a random number generator’s mind, which can be an annoyance in traditional RPGs.
