Piratical punch ’em up One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 is headed to PC subsequent yr. For me, that is nice information, as amongst Omega Force’s dumb-but-fun Warriors games there’s few I contemplate dumber or extra enjoyable than Pirate Warriors 3. Based on pirate journey manga and anime collection One Piece, Pirate Warriors Three was pure catharsis – should you weren’t beating up literal hundreds of dudes a degree, you had been doing it flawed. Fingers crossed for comparable ranges of face-punchery within the sequel. Below, a teaser trailer that will be dramatic if the character designs weren’t so foolish.
Rather than go the boring route and make up a narrative only for the game, it seems that they’re going to be telling tales straight from the manga/anime. The trailer means that it’s even going so far as the Whole Cake Island story arc, which aired just some months in the past. The earlier game coated an unlimited quantity of One Piece’s story in abridged format, embellished with a couple of thousand expendable grunts getting beat up in each scene. Here’s hoping that they’re daring sufficient to strive overlaying the whole foolish pirate saga with this game, though they’re excused in the event that they don’t.
I admit that I’m a couple of years behind on my One Piece, and possibly have to spend every week binging on the manga quickly, however I’m excited to see what characters they’ve acquired lined up this time. A big a part of why One Piece Pirate Warriors Three was so enjoyable was the number of characters. All the ‘bearded guy with spear’ kind in Dynasty Warriors mix into each other, however you’ll by no means mistake ‘transforming miniature reindeer’ for ‘cubist giraffe guy’, ‘dude who shoots candle-wax out of his arms’ or ‘musical skeleton’. Wanton violence has seldom been so bizarre.
One Piece Pirate Warriors four isn’t out till subsequent yr, however should you’ve not tried it but, OPPW Three is 75% off in the Steam summer sale, which ends tomorrow. It’s £8/€10/$10 for the common version, or a pair quid extra for the Gold version with DLC. Both are revealed by Bandai Namco, and developed by Koei Tecmo’s Omega Force crew.
