Namco Bandai's One Piece-flavored Dynasty Warriors game is getting a sequel. One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 will expand upon the button-mashing original, with new characters and new stages. Like before, it will release exclusively on PlayStation Network--however, it's currently unclear if both PS3 and Vita versions will make the move stateside. Namco Bandai plans on releasing the game this summer.
If you've played Dynasty Warriors, then you already know what to expect. One Piece: Pirate Warriors is yet another iteration using Omega Force's reliable formula--this time, featuring One Piece characters.
As in other Dynasty Warriors games, your main defense is a good offense. Namely, you want to defeat seemingly endless waves of enemies. There are two types of basic attacks: a weak attack that's fast with shorter range, and a strong attack that's slower with wider range. Luffy has access to a number of combos, and a special meter that builds up with each successive hit. When your special meter is full, you can unleash a special themed attack, perfect for when you are surrounded by enemies, or have to fight an enemy boss.
