However, previous games based on this much-loved franchise have scored mostly average reviews. Odyssey's story begins with main man Luffy and his crew being stranded on the mysterious island of Waford, surrounded by strange and powerful storms. There, they run into island residents Adio and Lim, the latter of whom takes away their powers due to her dislike for pirates. The Straw Hat Crew then embark on a series of adventures as they strive to get their powers back.
Power is good against Speed, Speed is good against Technique, and Technique is good against Power.

One Piece Odyssey has a pretty entertaining storyline that includes plenty of references to the main story arc from the manga and anime series. While One Piece fans will no doubt find themselves in familiar territory when playing Odyssey, this title can still be enjoyed by those new to the franchise. The Straw Hat's adventures are written such that it is easy to follow the story as it unfolds, and the funny banter between the crew - that pop up as you explore the many ingame locations can be appreciated even by those who have never watched a single episode of the anime.
When it comes to gameplay, One Piece Odyssey offers all the features that one would expect in a JRPG title: a turn-based battle system, cooking, as well as accessory and item crafting. With its cel-shaded art style and dungeon-traversing adventure system, One Piece Odyssey feels very much like a Dragon Quest game, just without the grind.
