Thankfully, the voice performance is astoundingly great. There’s no English dub in One Piece Odyssey, so the only choice you have is what language you want for the subtitles. Which is actually fine, this should make it more approachable even for the younger audience, somewhat. The crew is all panicking about getting attacked by a Sandora Dragon and all I see is a goofy giant lizard. The non-human enemies are all silly looking, though. Just relatively silly and/or cool-looking. I’m surprised that despite the people coming in all shapes and sizes (literally), they all are animated in a believable manner. And that means folks with unusual proportions like long noses, lanky arms and legs, and massive pecs, as well as attractive females being portrayed as they are portrayed. The characters maintain the charm of manga author Eiichiro Oda’s art style. The locations you visit like the main island of Waford are vibrantly coloured and inviting to see. Fascinatingly the world and characters look decent and as you’d expect from what you would see from the manga panels.

One Piece Odyssey is running on Unreal Engine (The One Piece! The One Piece is Unreal!).

One Piece Odyssey is a fun romp and an absolutely good game, but it’s missing some ingredients that stop it from being great. The publisher sure has a thing going here, adapting popular series into JRPGs. What if the popular manga and anime series One Piece is turned into a JRPG? That’s One Piece Odyssey, the latest game from developer ILCA and publisher Bandai Namco.
