Quick Summary
One Piece Odyssey is a JRPG from Bandai Namco built around the world of One Piece. You step into the roles of the Straw Hat crew as they explore a mysterious island, uncover secrets, and face powerful foes. The title focuses on single-player storytelling and turn-based battles with a UI that recalls the Persona series.
Who You Can Play (and How)
You can experience the story through members of the Straw Hat Pirates, though you directly control only one character at a time; other crew members will fight alongside you and enable team attacks when certain conditions are met.

Exploration and New Characters
The game sends the crew to strange landscapes where natural hazards and bizarre monsters appear — examples include enormous fire-breathing lions and giant scorpions. In addition to familiar faces from the series, Odyssey introduces new important characters, such as Lim, a young woman with a strong dislike of pirates, and Adio, a wandering explorer who plays a key role in the island’s mysteries.
Combat System and Party Play
Combat is turn-based and colorful, built around a cyclical “rock–paper–scissors” interaction that determines attack effectiveness. The relationships work as a loop (for clarity listed differently below):
- Guns beat swords
- Swords beat fists
- Fists beat guns
The battle UI resembles systems seen in Persona titles, emphasizing positioning, timing, and exploiting enemy weaknesses. You can unleash each Straw Hat member’s special moves, and when circumstances align you can chain combination attacks with allies. Note that the game does not include multiplayer modes — it is strictly a solo experience.

Final Take
One Piece Odyssey is designed primarily for fans of the anime and manga who want to roleplay the Straw Hats on a single-player island adventure. It combines exploration, new characters and locations, and a strategic turn-based combat system — but if you were hoping for multiplayer or simultaneous control of multiple crew members, this title keeps the experience focused on one-player progression.
