    A fun game for the fans who want to relive one of the most exciting arcs of the One Piece franchise. Lack of difficulty and appeal to those outside of the fandom and complex mechanics that can be easily forgotten unfortunately limit the player base. However with a variety of game modes that’ll have players coming back for more, this is a must play for the fans.

    With a combat system that requires simple combos to achieve signature techniques, as well as activate Logia powers and Haki, each moment feels geared toward a faithful recreation of the source material. While it may only be a game for those who already love the series, Burning Blood delivers fans a boat load of fun.

    One Piece: Burning Blood is the perfect game for the fans of the popular anime/manga, but its story mode and its simple gameplay mechanics are not recommended for the players of fighting games.

    Burning Blood offers a great approach to One Piece Universe. Fighting mechanics and game modes suit the series perfectly, but we miss some characters from the anime and level design could be more detailed.

    Perfect for the One Piece fans but not the best fighting game around. The campaign is short and almost every other game mode gets boring before too long.

    One Piece Burning Blood is an enjoyable fighting game that will delight fans of the series from beginning to end. There is a lot of fan service, awesome art and great music, but the mechanics lack polish and identity giving fans the sensation of playing just another anime fighting game.

    One Piece: Burning Blood satisfies friends of the series, but probably leaves others cold. [Aug 2016]

    Even though it's not One Piece's first game, it is as a PS4 game and the feeling can't be better. It lacks story content, which revolves around Marineford's story arc, and really simple scenarios. Visually, it looks really like Pirate Warriors, although an enhanced modelling of the characters, really fluid and with no framerate drops, make it look closer to the manga.

    Since the presentation matches the source material quite well, One Piece fans will be pleased enough with this game as they continue with one of the longest manga stories ever told.

    Spike Chunsoft learned something from their previous fighting Shonen game, J.Stars Victory Vs+. Albeit One Piece: Burning Blood has many similarities with this, in the end the focus in the aspects like haki and the abilities of many Devil fruit users benefited this title to the point of becoming something predictable. Despite its many noticeable failures, this is one game that fans from the manga and anime will truly enjoy.

    A good take on One Piece with a solid but very simple fighting game. A good fan-service for everyone who loves Luffy and his friends.

    One Piece: Burning Blood is an interesting game with tons of characters to choose from, a great array of game modes and a solid battle system. And of course, you will find the best representation of One Piece’s characters in a videogame.

    One Piece: Burning Blood is far from perfection, especially if you are a fighting games lover. Much better if you like Rufy and company. In this case, you will find one of the best representation of One Piece’s characters in a videogame.

    FINALLY! A Fighting Game that utilises One Piece at it's best.

    Story Mode is limited to Marineford, but at least they picked the greatest
    FINALLY! A Fighting Game that utilises One Piece at it's best.

    Story Mode is limited to Marineford, but at least they picked the greatest arc possible for a campaign. The combat mechanics are incredibly fun and surprisingly in-depth. Presentation is it's best aspect, with exquisite faithfulness to Eiichiro Oda's masterpiece.

    One Piece's unyielding charm is represented beautifully in this game (e.g Sanji not being able to hit women, Manga-style character intros, funny team interactions etc), so I'm sure the same way the Anime gained so millions of supporters, this game will too!

    Can't wait for Burning Blood 2.

    the story mode is REALLY short ( like 4 hours short ) which is why i didn't give it a 10 . and it only covers the Marineford Arc! kinda sad about that .
    but! the gameplay mechanics are so much FUN! a lot of special moves / combos you can do ( some really sick and hard combos btw )
    and 42 playable characters you can chose from ! and a lot more you can pick for assists and stuff.
    there's also the WANTED versus mode , it's a nice add but nothing special here
    online mode is amazing , the netcode is actually very good imo ..
    over all i really love the game , and if you love fighting games and you love the anime you should get this game ASAP!
