One Piece Chapter 1188 landed and Imu wiped the floor with Gear 5 Luffy, which is the kind of week that sends manga readers looking for a One Piece game to unwind with. One Piece Odyssey is on Steam, its Pirate Warriors spin-offs are on Steam, but you have probably already played those. These seven One Piece alternatives on PC hit the same shonen action, party dynamics and long-form power scaling from other angles.
Quick comparison

Why look past the One Piece games on PC
The Pirate Warriors formula is showing wear. Musou is fun for one campaign, and Pirate Warriors 4 is Musou. If you have already 100 percented it, another Musou will not scratch the itch.
Odyssey pulls its punches. One Piece Odyssey is a good time but a light JRPG. Combat is turn-based, difficulty is generous, and enemy variety runs out around the halfway mark.
No open-world Grand Line game exists. Every year rumours surface about an open-world One Piece game and every year they stay rumours. Alternatives with real world design already exist on PC.
Anime fighters have hit a peak. FighterZ, Guilty Gear Strive and Xenoverse 2 all run rollback or near-rollback netcode now. The same 15 fps regional lobbies from 2019 are gone, and PC matchmaking works.
Steam sales are aggressive. Everything below drops below $20 several times a year. Bundling two spin-offs still costs less than a single Deluxe Edition.
The 7 best One Piece alternatives on PC
Dragon Ball FighterZ, best for a 3v3 anime fighter
Dragon Ball FighterZ is Arc System Works’ love letter to the manga’s fight scenes. Three-versus-three tag matches, assist calls, dramatic zoom-ins on level-three supers, and a 40-plus character roster spanning every arc. It plays like the anime looks, which no other Dragon Ball game has managed.
Where it falls short: story mode is filler. If you do not care about fighting-game execution, the mid-tier characters are hard to enjoy.
Pricing:
- Base: Around $60, sales below $10
- vs One Piece: Much stronger competitive scene, no adventure mode
System notes: Runs on nearly any GPU. Steam Deck Verified.
Download: Steam
Bottom line: Buy FighterZ if you want the closest thing to reading a fight chapter, made into a fighting game.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, best for anime action MMO-lite
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is the shonen game that most feels like the “make your own Straw Hat” fantasy One Piece never delivered. Build a Saiyan, Namekian, Frieza-race or Majin character, train under any master from Piccolo to Whis, and drop into hub-based online quests with real players. Nine years of DLC add up.
Where it falls short: the base game is old and shows it, and the tutorial is a slog.
Pricing:
- Base: Around $20, DLC sold separately, complete edition around $30 in sales
- vs One Piece: More freeform, more grind, similar power-fantasy roleplay
System notes: Requires modest hardware. Steam Deck Verified.
Download: Steam
Bottom line: Xenoverse 2 is the pick if you always wanted to make an original character in the One Piece world.
Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker, best for 4v4 anime team battler
Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker takes the Ninja Storm engine and turns it into a class-based 4v4 arena game. Four archetypes cover attack, defence, ranged and healing, and every canon character shows up as a purchasable master. Base Assault and Barrier Battle modes have kept a dedicated player base for years.
Where it falls short: DLC-heavy roster, and matchmaking outside prime regional hours can be long.
Pricing:
- Base: Around $40, sales below $8
- vs One Piece: Same shonen power scaling in a fully online form
System notes: Steady 60 fps on mid-range PCs. Steam Deck Verified.
Download: Steam
Bottom line: Choose Shinobi Striker if the online team combat mattered more than the singleplayer story.
My Hero One’s Justice 2, best for arena fighter with sidekicks
My Hero One’s Justice 2 is a 3D arena fighter with a two-versus-two flavour. Every character has two assist slots that pull in sidekicks with signature abilities, so a Deku-Bakugo pairing plays differently from a Deku-Uravity one. Environmental destruction and wall combos keep the tempo fast.
Where it falls short: story mode retreads the anime, and camera behaviour in tight spaces can lose the action.
Pricing:
- Base: Around $60, sales below $10
- vs One Piece: Different franchise, similar shonen scaling and team power fantasy
System notes: Runs on modest hardware. Steam Deck Playable.
Download: Steam
Bottom line: Pick One’s Justice 2 for arena-fighter chaos with anime sidekicks front and centre.
Tales of Arise, best for party-based action JRPG
Tales of Arise is the best combat in the Tales series so far. Real-time party swap, boost strike finishers that pull in your entire party, and a story that runs the Alphen-and-Shionne double protagonist thread with more weight than most anime games attempt. Beyond the Dawn adds a real epilogue.
Where it falls short: menus are dated, and side quests slow down the mid-game.
Pricing:
- Base: Around $60, sales below $15
- vs One Piece: Bigger world, more traditional JRPG structure, sharper combat
System notes: Mid-tier GPU recommended. Steam Deck Verified.
Download: Steam
Bottom line: Tales of Arise is the pick if you liked the crew dynamic of Odyssey and want it in a bigger, sharper package.
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom, best for a kingdom-building JRPG
Ni no Kuni II is Level-5 at their most ambitious. You play a deposed prince rebuilding a kingdom, so between real-time party battles you hire subjects, manage research, and grow your castle city. Studio Ghibli visual DNA carries through even without Ghibli involvement this time.
Where it falls short: combat is easier than it should be, and the kingdom-management screen occasionally feels like homework.
Pricing:
- Base: Around $50, sales below $10 with all DLC
- vs One Piece: Way more strategy, similar underdog-becomes-legend story
System notes: Runs on almost anything. Steam Deck Verified.
Download: Steam
Bottom line: Ni no Kuni II is the pick if you liked One Piece for the crew-building and the power-scaling arc, not the fights.
Guilty Gear Strive, best for competitive anime fighter
Guilty Gear Strive is Arc System Works’ current flagship. Rollback netcode from launch, a roster that mixes rock-and-metal-inspired characters with anime aesthetics, and a tension system that rewards aggressive play. Season passes have kept the roster growing.
Where it falls short: singleplayer content is minimal, and the learning curve is steep.
Pricing:
- Base: Around $60, base game sales below $20, DLC extra
- vs One Piece: All-multiplayer, all-fighting, no story mode
System notes: Any decent GPU. Steam Deck Verified.
Download: Steam
Bottom line: Strive is the pick if you want the tournament-viable anime fighter that will still be updated in three years.
How to choose
Pick Dragon Ball FighterZ if you want the closest thing to reading a shonen fight chapter as a game.
Pick Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 if the “create your own Straw Hat” fantasy is what always drew you in.
Pick Shinobi Striker if you want online team combat that respects class roles.
Pick My Hero One’s Justice 2 if arena fighters with sidekicks are the shape you want.
Pick Tales of Arise if the crew and the world matter more than the fighting genre.
Pick Ni no Kuni II if kingdom-building and the underdog arc are the parts of shonen you love.
Pick Guilty Gear Strive if you want a competitive multiplayer scene that will still be there in three years.
Stay on One Piece Odyssey or Pirate Warriors 4 if you specifically want to hang out with Luffy. None of these games can replace that.
