    I see a lot of changes after Pirate wars 3. First of all, the most important thing that we so lacked - the Ability to choose Techniques! We were allowed to create a perfect list of techniques for ourselves. In part 3, You might not have been happy with the styles of punches, but now you choose it yourself.

First of all, the most important thing that we so lacked - the Ability to choose Techniques! We were allowed to create a perfect list of techniques for ourselves. In part 3, You might not have been happy with the styles of punches, but now you choose it yourself. Each character has become unique, having its own fighting style, and not just a model like all the others. You need to get used to each character, learn their strike techniques, pump them up, and choose the best fighting style for them! The graphics in the Nintendo Switch version have grown a lot! Now this is not a quick version, part 4 was released simultaneously with all other versions on consoles and it is clear that it does not differ in quality, But in the Nintendo version, this is more of a plus! Become more elaborate levels, and most importantly it the effect of razrushaemosti locations! This experiment I took as a good because it adds visual power heroes, you see what they are able to destroy the building, not just people ! Besides heroes now can jump on the building that too, it was impossible to do in 3rd part! It is also a noticeable plus in the treasury.
    Now The Cons! The most important thing is the monotony of the plot and fights! Even the arches that were repeated many times could be shown from some other side, come up with something new that was not before. It is possible to add some separate mechanics that will only be in the story, something that would make the next repeat of the story interesting! But alas, the same thing again. Capture the base, defeat the bosses, collect rewards... the same thing. The second disadvantage is the promotion of the plot compared to the 3 parts. 3 part of ended on Battle with Dofi and after him in 4 parts of goes just 2 episodes on 6 parts of, given how many was passed until this. You could further reduce the previous stories, but more stretch to new but you did not do, but in vain! Result. In General, the game has acquired a decent number of innovations, which is not surprising for the new part. Rather, it would be strange if it remained unchanged. But the sad thing is that it remained the same passing project for 1 time, it did not do anything surprising for this genre. She didn't let us say "Wow, this has never happened in such genres". Even the "attack of the titans" in this regard was something unique, for the sake of mechanics you went into the game because in other games this was not the case. But in part 4 "One Piece", we again Mindlessly Click the buttons, watch the screensavers, and repeat again. P.S Thank you for the opportunity to choose music from the anime "openings" before the battles. I appreciated it. This is gave additional energy to play further.    … Expand

    Enjoyable single-player, unfortunately, there are three reasons that the multiplayer died prematurely. There is no crossplay - this would have kept it a bit more populated as you can look up that there are people playing on the other platforms years later. You can not drop into a match midway, no one wants to wait in a lobby where it is uncertain whether it will fill up or not.

Lastly, you can not queue up for all game modes/difficulties at the same time, instead, they force filters that section the search off into many small parts, making it even more likely no one would ever see you waiting in your lobby.… Expand

    One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 brings a lot of good additions to the franchise but it has far too many technical and camera issues to be a must play right now.

    One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is not only one of the best One Piece games but possibly one of the best Musou games around.

    Pirate Warriors 4 is rich in content and characters from the One Piece animated series, which is bound to satisfy its many fans. It also has a clumsy way of presenting its plot, and has a rather shoddy campaign mode, as well as performance issues and less improvements than the its fellow Warriors games, but while that may not make this a compulsory purchase, it's also not an obstacle to enjoying the game's fun combat, which is indeed a satisfying experience.
