One Piece: Burning Blood is a fighting game, which features a cel-shaded artstyle, similar to the One Piece anime.[1] The game also features an "advanced battle system", which allows players to perform stronger attacks and block normal attacks from enemies.[2] Similar to the Grand Battle! series, Burning Blood is a 1-on-1 (and up to 9 vs 9) fighting game. It focuses on fighting as well as devil fruit abilities, with Logia users being able to use their powers to avoid damage.

Development

[edit]

On September 8, 2015, publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment trademarked three names, one of which is Burning Blood.[3] The game was officially announced at Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Asia's Tokyo Game Show 2015 press conference.[4]

Reception

[edit]

The game debuted at number one of the Japanese sales charts, with 35,496 copies sold on PS4 and 32,682 sold on PS Vita in its first week in Japan.[8] In four weeks PS4 and PS Vita versions sold 104,120 units in Japan.[9]

It currently holds an aggregated score of 66 on Metacritic, indicating "mixed or average reviews", based on 45 reviews.[5] IGN awarded it a score of 6.5 out of 10, saying "One Piece: Burning Blood is a bit too much for the uninitiated, and a bit too little for One Piece stalwarts."[10] Destructoid awarded it 5.5 out of 10, saying " The combat here just isn't that fun, and no amount of colorful anime action will change that."[11] Hardcore Gamer awarded it a score of 3 out of five, saying, "One Piece: Burning Blood is one of those middle of the road games that makes game reviewers weep...Neither good nor bad, it exists."[12] Famitsu awarded it four scores of 8 out of 10, which equaled an overall score of 32/40.[13]
