Islands from the anime are well replicated and look just like how they were depicted in the anime. The map is large and there are a lot of territories to conquer. You beat up group of enemies and after that you beat up the leader of the territory to take charge of the territory. Some characters will remain locked till you finish the campaign. You will control several characters over the course of the game, with game missions featuring specific characters. Character moves largely remain the same with the major addition being air combo.

Characters can undergo transformations that will give them new moves. A few characters that were available in the previous game aren’t available in this one. The game features over 40 characters with more to be added in the form of DLCs. The game should have been longer to cover the story adequately. This felt disappointing and short, given that the One Piece anime and manga has so much story and content to be explored. The campaign mode of the game can be finished in less than 14 hours.

But this will bore old-timers who will be made to replay scenes that they have already played in previous One Piece: Pirates Warrior games. The game does a good job of retelling arcs already featured in previous games for newcomers.
