Fighting For One Piece

About

Fighting For One Piece is a 1v1 combat game built around the characters and world of the long-running anime. You pick from a roster of familiar faces and duke it out with button mashing and timed attacks. Moves mirror the exaggerated flair of the show with acrobatic kicks and elemental attacks. The single player mode offers a standard arcade path while online and local multiplayer let you test skills against others. The game stands out for its art style which avoids the cartoonish look of most One Piece titles. Characters here have the same proportions and designs as their anime counterparts giving matches a more serious tone. Released in 2005 it holds up for its straightforward mechanics and dedicated fan service. A small but vocal community still circles around local tournaments and retro fighting game circles.
