Namco Bandai opened a teaser site for One Piece Romance Dawn, a PSP RPG based off the One Piece franchise. The game was first revealed in Jump last week, but the site gives us our first (tiny) screenshots.
One Piece: Romance Dawn is a game with a lot of potential, but feels like a missed opportunity. The pieces - comic/manga cutscenes, anime cutscenes, and a neat battle and crafting system, all sound like a recipe for success. But instead, we have a game that is mediocre, with flaws in all of them. If you are a hardcore fan of One Piece, you could do worse. And honestly, the game isn't all bad. But the Nintendo 3DS' library is so fantastic, there are so many better ways to spend your time than this game.
"Just to be clear- I don't watch One Piece. I actually don't even have the slightest clue what the series is about. All I know is that it is a popular anime that's been pretty long running."
Save/Continue writes: No nonsense here. One Piece: Romance Dawn is a $40 piece of garbage. There is absolutely nothing engaging or likable or even moderately fun about Namco Bandai‘s latest entry into the One Piece series of game adaptations.
