Others are able to attain the quality of beasts, referred to as Zoan, allowing them to take flight and so on. Fighters can have an elemental power, referred to in-game as Logia, ranging from magma, to ice, to gas. The visual animations of attacks are magnificent but each character varies greatly in terms of style and elemental power, much to the game’s detriment. In rare moments, combat can be dramatic, fast-flowing and exciting, while most of the time, it is slow, laggy and prone to abuse by spamming AI. The combat of Burning Blood is entirely hit-or-miss, but unfortunately misses on the majority of occasions. This ultimately leaves the Paramount War mode feeling like a lazy afterthought rather than an integral part of the game, sitting at a measly four episodes which all recant the same story.
The arc doesn’t span very far or include a varied degree of events, meaning you’ll replay the same battles multiple times, just as different characters. While this may seem like a refreshing take on following a certain plot arc, many of the perspectives recycle cutscenes when two controllable characters meet. Those familiar with One Piece’s various story arcs will be pleased to see the Paramount War arc featured in-game, with the opportunity to play through the Battle for Marineford from Luffy, Whitebeard, Akainu and Ace’s respective perspectives. Newcomers to the series will be scratching their head as soon as the first battle is over, having no mortal idea why these clans of pirates are fighting despite the game’s attempts to quell the confusion surrounding the narrative. One Piece: Burning Blood is a fighting title which uses various plot arcs of the manga to frame its battles, never really utilising the story to its full potential. Undeterred, Luffy gathers together a crew of misfits and sails the seas searching for ‘One Piece’ - the fabled ultimate pirate treasure which will allow him to become King of the Pirates. Luffy who one day eats a Devil Fruit, only to gain the power of elasticity and find out he can never swim again. The series is centred around a young pirate named Monkey D. One Piece, for those who have never encountered it before, is a series which boasts one of the most expansive and perhaps zaniest universes of all.
The world of manga game crossovers can be a confusing thing.
