Only a few days since it was launched last January 12th, the AAA RPG game “One Piece Odyssey” is already proving to really be a major release this 2023. In fact, many gamers who have started playing “One Piece Odyssey” are expressing their love for it.
Here are some of the netizens’ comments about the game, even suggesting things that can further improve it. Twitter netizen @newworldartur said, “I love how One Piece Odyssey reveals the Bananawani is actually part of a larger family of fruited crocodiles,” sharing photos of the crocodile.
“yeah i love the plot of one piece odyssey,” tweeted @onepieceboys.
Gaming experts are also joining in the conversation, saying the avid gamers of “One Piece Odyssey” will also fall in love with “Sailing Era,” an indie RPG, and that they should play this game too.
What ‘Sailing Era’ is all about
“Sailing Era” is a rising new game about traversing the open waters, the sea. Its players can face pirates, curate their crew of unique sailors, and collect bounties. Though it obviously does not draw from the “One Piece” franchise’s success, this game has a similar manga style, Odyssey-like mechanics, and the familiar fun atmosphere that screams adventure.
This indie RPG game not only has a lot to offer as a gaming experience, but it has the mechanics and storytelling abilities that, though not as successful as the big AAA games like “One Piece Odyssey,” can compare with those kinds of games.
Similarities ‘Sailing Era’ shares with ‘One Piece Odyssey’
“Sailing Era” has similarities to the “One Piece” franchise in terms of its art style, characters, and dialogue. Each new character in this indie RPG game is as cartoonishly vivid as the latter.
Exploring the game’s world also feels comparatively like how it happens in “One Piece Odyssey.” “Sailing Era” has a sizable world filled with secrets, ruined civilizations, and unfolding storylines around multiple corners.
Moreover, many encounters in “Sailing Era” are reminiscent of the dramatic scenes of “One Piece Odyssey.” Random encounters in this indie game can come about in various ways and uniquely involve members of the gamer’s crew.
Overall, it is exciting to see this game rise to the objectives of AAA titles such as “One Piece Odyssey.” Although these two games are different, gaming experts say that “One Piece Odyssey” players can also enjoy “Sailing Era.”
About ‘One Piece Odyssey’
For those who are fans of “One Piece Odyssey,” everybody, and only hearing about this Japanese role-playing game or JRPG, welcome. “One Piece Odyssey” is an RPG project commemorating the “One Piece” brand’s 25th anniversary.

Here is the plot of “One Piece Odyssey.” During their voyage along the Grand Line, Captain Monkey.D.Luffy and the Straw Hat Crew are caught in a sudden storm amidst the seas. When the storm subsides, they find themselves stranded on a lush yet mysterious island called Waford, becoming separated from each other along the process. The crew then sets out on a new and daring adventure filled with marvels of nature, strange encounters with the island’s locals, and powerful enemies, among many other exploits.
