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.
One Piece and ThunderCats are coming this September, Namco Bandai has announced. (And sorry, we don't mean this is a cross-over game featuring Luffy and Lion-O.)
One Pice: Pirate Warriors is a Dynasty Warriors game inspired by the popular anime series, and it will be available exclusively on the PlayStation Network on September 25th. ThunderCats is based on the popular animated series, and will be available on the Nintendo DS on the same day.
What happens when Omega Force, developers of the Dynasty Warriors franchise, makes a game based on the popular anime series, One Piece? You get a One Piece game that looks and plays like a Dynasty Warriors game, of course.
Namco Bandai has announced One Piece: Pirate Warriors, a localized version of One Piece: Kaizoku Musou. The game will be available exclusively on the PlayStation Network later this year.
The previously announced Dynasty Warriors Vita game has been given an official title and North American release date. Dubbed "Dynasty Warriors Next," the game is set to hit our shores on February 22, alongside the domestic launch of the Vita itself.
The game uses a mix of traditional button controls along with Vita features like the front touch-screen, rear touch-pad, and motion sensor for combat.
