Here are some of the best One Piece games that every fan of Eiichiro Oda’s worldwide renowned manga should try.
Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece is a globally renowned manga that chronicles the journey of Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat Crew. Debuting in 1997, the manga is still going strong and making records. Its success paved the way for the anime adaptation, which also became a massive hit, surpassing over 1000 episodes and still ongoing.
One Piece arguably stands tall among the ‘Big Three’ anime, alongside Naruto and Bleach. The immense worldwide popularity of the animanga also extends to the gaming industry. As a result, numerous games were developed based on One Piece. Here we are going to list some of the best games that every One Piece fan needs to try.
1) One Piece Odyssey
One Piece Odyssey, a turn-based RPG developed by ILCA, is the most ambitious title based on the manga to date. Notably, the 2023-released title delivered an extraordinary job of recreating the core aspects of the original source material. While the game follows an original storyline, several sequences align with the iconic arcs of the manga.
The turn-based battle system combined with the innovative ‘Scramble Area Battles’ mechanics makes the strategic combat more immersive by strategically positioning the Straw Hat Pirates across different areas. Each character with their unique powers contributes to story progression, exploration, and puzzle-solving.
2) One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4, the latest installment of the musou-type One Piece game franchise, Pirate Warriors.

Developed by the masters of the musou action genre, Omega Force (a division of Koei Tecmo), the Pirate Warriors 4 features large-scale battles with huge armies.
While taking the Wano arc as the core, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 developed their original story similar to their previous titles. While One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 stands as one of the best to date, you can also try the previous installments, such as Pirate Warriors 2 and Pirate Warriors 3.

One Piece Treasure Cruise is not only one of the top gacha mobile games but also earns its place among the top-tier titles based on One Piece.
