Having a large library of game adaptations can be considered one of the biggest testaments to a franchise’s success. In this regard, only a few can rivalOne Piece.
But surprisingly, for the flagship of the Shonen demographic, the games based on the series can vary from sleeping hits to entries even die-hard fans struggle to love. Here are allOne Piecegames, ranked.
All One Piece Games, Ranked From Worst to Best
To be fair in our rankings, we decided to only focus on games that made it to the West officially with an English localization. We also won’t be including crossovers such asJ-Stars Victory Vs+ andJump Force.
24. One Piece Grand Cruise
One Piece Grand Cruiseis a VR title thatallows you to interact with and assist the Straw Hats in two scenarios. But although both will involve battles, you won’t be able to jump into the fray directly. Instead, you will be in charge of operating a canon to face either a Kraken or stop a Marine attack. A short experience that offers very little,Grand Cruisefeels like a missed opportunity.
23.One Piece: Run, Chopper, Run!
One Piece: Run, Chopper, Run!was a 2.5D endless running game that put fans in the role of everyone’s favorite cotton candy-loving reindeer. The game also allowed players to equip multiple costumes. Once equipped, each costume offered a new ability to Chopper. Unfortunately, the game was not successful, and its service ended in 2016.
22.One Piece Bon! Bon! Journey!!
One Piece Bon! Bon! Journey!!was a puzzle gacha game. In it, players were tasked with assembling combinations of at least three matching bonbons within rows. Doing that would then allow your characters to perform attacks and damage enemies. The game was a success upon its release, butBon! Bon! Journey!!was discontinued two years later.
21. One Piece: Grand Battle! (PS1)
One Piece: Grand Battle!is a straightforward 2.5D fighting platformer with a roster featuring characters from the East Blue arc. As the first in the series, the game features impressive visuals for its time and follows theSuper Smash Brosformat. Nostalgia aside, the title did not age well and offers a pretty basic experience by today’s standards.
20. One Piece Unlimited Cruise SP / SP2
One Piece Unlimited Cruise SPandSP2are localizations released after the debut ofSP’sJapanese version. Each game features half of the title’s story, as well as some exclusive features. Among them, we have the Marineford Episodes. The mode adapts the arc it’s named after and brings many of its protagonists as playable characters. Unfortunately, that is overshadowed by how bothSPandSP2feature considerable downgrades when compared to the originalUnlimited Cruiseepisodes.
19.One Piece: Thousand Storm
A gacha action RPG,One Piece Treasure Cruisewon the hearts of many through its simplistic gameplay and F2P-friendly approach. The latter is seen in how the game did not have a character-pulling system. Instead, players could pull for Cards, which could then be equipped to characters to provide buffs or skills.Treasure Cruisewas discontinued in January 2024.
18. One Piece: Grand Battle!
One Piece: Grand Battle!is the western version ofOne Piece: Grand Battle! Rush. Unlike the latter, however, the game only adapts the events up to the first portion of Alabasta. The title also shifts from the platform style present in previous entries in favor of an arena fighter approach.Grand Battle!was the first title in the series to debut in North America and features 16 playable characters.
17. One Piece Gigant Battle
One Piece Gigant Battleis a platform fighting game whose combat heavily resembles that of theSuper Smash Brosseries. The game also plays very similarly toJumpSuperandUltimate Stars. Here, you can take any characters from its roster of 20 to the field and join up to 4v4 battles. You can also use dozens of supports to get the upper hand. The title was the only game in theGigant Battleseries to be released outside of Japan.
16. One Piece: Romance Dawn
A turn-based RPG,One Pìece: Romance Dawnallows you to follow Luffy from the beginning of theOPstory to the heartbreaking end of the Marineford Arc. The title features solid combat mechanics, but it’s hurt by its map designs and lack of side content. Nonetheless,One Piece: Romance Dawnoffers a unique experience sure to at least entertain fans.
15. One Piece: Pirates’ Carnival
Any successful manga/anime is guaranteed to receive a minigame-centric title at one point. InOne Piece’scase, that’sPirates’ Carnival. The game allows up to 4 players to participate in 40+ minigames. All of which can be played either as standalone experiences or as part of its Board Game mode. A casual experience that follows the formula made famous by theMario Partyfranchise,One Piece: Pirates’ Carnivalbrings a niche but fun experience to all.
14. One Piece: Grand Adventure
A direct sequel toGrand Battle!,One Piece: Grand Adventurewas released exclusively in North America and Europe. Apart from its versus mode, the game allows you to take part in mini-games and tournaments and dive into a story mode (known as Grand Adventure). Although the latter is geared toward younger audiences.Grand Adventurealso deserves a special mention for featuring characters like Zeff within its 24-playable characters roster.
13. One Piece: Unlimited Adventure
An open-world action RPG featuring an original storyline and set after the events of Enies Lobby.One Piece: Unlimited Adventurefollows the Star Hats after they come into contact with a glowing orb. The game brings a good degree of exploration to players. Being able to play as all Straw Hats is also a plus.
Apart from the above,Unlimited Adventurealso relies heavily on crafting and building. Both of which would become staples for the series. For fans of fighting games, you can also take control of more than 40 characters in up to 7v7 versus battles here.
12. One Piece World Seeker
One Piece: World Seekeris an action RPG that puts players in the control of Luffy after he finds himself in Jail Island. This time, the plot takes place after Dressrosa but before the Zou arc. Players can also play as Law, Sabo, and Zoro through Extra Episode DLCs.
Like theUnlimitedseries,World Seekerallows you to fully explore its open world map and features a simple combat system. You can also use multiple traversal abilities to cover ground fast and add more flair to exploration.
11. One Piece: Unlimited Cruise
The second game in theUnlimitedseries,One Piece: Unlimited Cruise,features a non-canon story that takes place after the Thriller Bark arc. The action RPG was released as two episodes and features many of the mechanics present in its predecessor. All while also benefiting from some quality-of-life upgrades. Likein Adventure, the game allows you to take part in an open-world single-player mode, as well as face friends in Versus.
10.One Piece Bounty Rush
One Piece Bounty Rushis a gacha real-time action game that overcame its troubled launch to become a fan favorite. The game features many modes, with its most well-known being its PVP 4v4. In it, you are tasked with capturing treasures on the battlefield and then guarding their areas from your opponents. A feat you can accomplish by performing explosive combos and characteristic attacks.Bounty Rushalso boasts a roster of more than 250 characters going from East Blue to Egghead.
9. One Piece Pirate Warriors (PS3)
Pirate Warriorsis the title responsible for starting what many believe to be the greatestOne Piecegame series of all time. Developed by Omega Force, the game features the musou style made famous by the developer’sDestiny Warriorsfranchise. On it, you can take a multitude of characters and battle against hordes of hundreds. This was a match made in heaven, asOne Piece’slarger-than-life attacks were a perfect fit for the genre.
Except for Skypea and Thriller Bark, players can experience all of the arcs up to Return to Sabaody inPirate Warriors. Its small roster, however, might cause it to become repetitive relatively fast.
8. One Piece: Unlimited World Red
The latest game in theUnlimitedseries,One Piece: Unlimited World Redfeatures huge visual upgrades when compared to previous titles. The game also features another original non-canonical story, this time situated between Punk Hazard and Dressrosa.
Overall, the core of theUnlimitedexperience remains almost the same here. AlthoughUnlimited World Redshakes things up by focusing way more on combat. The latter of which is still as straightforward as it was in the Wii installments. The franchise’s building and crafting mechanics are also taken to another level. Now, you can upgrade a whole town.
7. One Piece (GBA)
Sometimes less is more. An action platformer developed by Dimps and released exclusively in North America,One Pieceallows players to follow through the events of the East Blue saga. Featuring a solid but simple beat ’em-up combat and well-made sprites, this game is a blast. Honestly, the only downsides here are its length and how you cannot battle with any Straw Hat apart from Luffy.
6. One Piece Pirate Warriors 2
One Piece Pirate Warriors2 further polishes the combat system featured in the original game while also increasing its roster to 37 characters. The former is not an understatement, as the game feels faster, more consistent, and way more responsive. The title also removed QTEs and the divisive platform sections players came to hate inPirate Warriors. On the other hand,Pirate Warriors2’s most debatable point lies in its main story, where you don’t play through the series’ arcs. Instead, the game features an alternative What If original scenario.
5. One Piece Treasure Cruise
One Piece Treasure Cruiseis a gacha turn-based RPG that allows you to revisit the whole story of the franchise. The title also allows you to take more than 200 characters to the field in various modes. Most of the characters must be pulled in true gacha fashion.
The game’s biggest differential, however, lies in its combo mechanic. When in battle, the mechanic will allow you to perform sequential attacks by tapping.You can also find a deep team-building system here. This can be seen in how players, more often than not, need to completely rework their teams based on the opposition.
4. One Piece: Burning Blood
One Piece:Burning Bloodis an arena fighter that allows you to take part in up to 3v3 battles. The game won the hearts of fans by featuring a straightforward but still entertaining combat system. Here, understanding how to efficiently counter your opponent will be key. Another huge highlight lies in its roster. The version released for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC offers 44 playable characters and 50 supports. That helps make up for the fact thatBurning Bloodfeatures an extremely compact main story (covering only the Marineford Arc).
3. One Piece Pirate Warriors 3
One Piece Pirate Warriors 3goes all out by featuring huge combat and graphical upgrades when compared to 2. Differently from the latter, however, the game’s story mode covers the canon of the series until the Dressrosa Arc. As the arc was still ongoing when the game was released,PW3features an original non-canonical ending for it.
There are very few things not to love here, as the added mechanics —such as the Kizuna Rush and Overdrive— made the game as fun as it can be. Its 46-character-long roster also helped.
2. One Piece Pirate Warriors 4
Although not featuring a massive jump when compared to 3,One Piece Pirate Warriors 4builds upon it by offering a massive roster of more than 60 characters. You can find some wild names here, such as Big Mom, Kaido, and Gear 5 Luffy —the latter available via a DLC. The game also made significant changes to combat. Among the tweaks, the biggest one lies in how players can now perform aerial combos.
Pirate Warriors 4also features a bulky story mode. In it, you’re able to go through the Alabasta, Enies Lobby, Marineford, New World, Whole Cake, and Wano arcs. LikePW3with Dressrosa, the game features a unique non-canon story for Wano.
1. One Piece: Odyssey
InOne Piece: Odyssey, you follow the Straw Hats after they shipwreck on the island of Watford. The game brings players a true-to-form RPG experience that takes place between the Whole Cake and Wano arcs. Among its highlights, we have a huge amount of explorable areas and activities. That is then paired with a fine-tuned turn-based combat system. You can also control all the first nine Straw Hats while exploring and in battle.
Odysseyalso set itself apart for the quality of its original storyline. The latter of which segments the title as the bestOne Piecegame released in the West to date.
