Have you been eagerly awaiting the Release of One Punch Man World? The wait ends here! The title, based on the famous manga One Punch Man, is available to download for free from today on Android, iOS and PC! Discover the exhilarating thrill of being in the shoes of Saitama in this highly anticipated multiplayer open world! So, what does this title have in store for you? Let's see !
The release of One Punch Man World on mobile in Europe is finally official! Anyone who wasn't lucky enough to take part in the game's closed beta can finally get their hands (or rather, fists!) on it. This open-world action-RPG has been eagerly awaited by many gamers and fans of the One Punch Man manga.
Immerse yourself in the manga's rich universe and fight alongside its greatest heroes, in an excellent open world with polished graphics. Among the iconic characters available when OPM World is released are Saitama, Silverfang and Genos.
Developed by T3 Studio, a subsidiary of Perfect World, and published by Crunchyroll Games or A Plus Japan (depending on the region), One Punch Man World recently went into beta on PC, and is only available by pre-registration. The game retraces the events of the anime's first season. A real treat for fans!
OPM World, the title that will raise the bar?
One Punch Man World is far from being the first game based on the saga. We're thinking in particular of One Punch Man: Road to Hero 2. 0, released in June 2020, a turn-based gacha. One Punch Man: The Strongest, also a turn-based strategy RPG, will be released in 2019. OPM World offers a completely different experience, with a multiplayer open world and real-time combat.
The arrival of this new title comes on the heels of the passable One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows, released in 2020 for consoles and PC, which greatly disappointed the public. T3 Studio intends to raise the bar for One Punch Man video games.
With the Release of One Punch Man World in our country, we can finally see the quality of this game. Is this the best One Punch Man game yet? We'll have to wait a few more days to get a clearer idea.
Full PVE and PVP gameplay
Aside from its highly polished graphics, OPM World has many other qualities. The developers were promising fast-paced, immersive combat. The result has exceeded our expectations.
Smooth combat in OPM World
The first thing that strikes you about the first few encounters is the game's fluidity. Battles are really fast-paced, but you'll need to learn how to dodge and the basics of gameplay very quickly. And with good reason, as soon as you start the tutorial, you'll find yourself up against a pretty tough boss, with AOEs and long-range attacks.
To make your adventure easier, you'll also need to master the weapon system. Each character has a specific type of weapon, giving them more power and various bonuses in battle. You shouldn't neglect the pieces of equipment either: they allow you to improve your character's critical damage, among other things.
The gameplay also features combos based on the strengths of the team members. This means you can exploit your enemies' weaknesses, as long as you choose the right combo!
Cross-platform co-op and PVP modes
One Punch Man World features a co-op mode, so you can beat the crap out of your enemies in well-known boss raids, in the company of 2 other players. What's more, the game features an in-game chat to help you fine-tune your strategy and combos!
The more competitive among you can try your hand at PVP and battle against other players! The good news? The game is cross-platform, so you can take on PC or mobile players in 1V1.
A game that's easy to get to grips with, but hard to master!
Make no mistake about it: while the gameplay of One Punch Man World is easy to pick up, mastering it will require patience and skill . Choosing your skills carefully, developing your character's attributes and honing your reflexes will be essential. There's plenty to keep try-harders happy, as well as fans of haemoglobin...!
Fortunately, the responsive controls and fluid gameplay won't hinder your progress.
Plenty of content for the Release of One Punch Man World
The heart of the game is the combat, which is just as important as in the manga and anime. But One Punch Man World doesn't stop there. This open world offers you moments of calm, where you can explore and wander through the backstreets of City Z.
The game offers a great deal of freedom, because there are so many possibilities in this open world: collect game items, trade in the various shops available and even take part in mini-games and side quests- OPM World's content is vast! Alternating between combat phases and the daily life of an ordinary hero gives the game a good balance.
But will the game live up to its promise over time? Can we expect new content to be added on a regular basis? Only time will tell. In any case, for the time being, there's plenty to keep you busy.
One Punch Man World: a flawed gacha system
In OPM World, you can earn virtual currency to unlock characters and weapons to help you progress. However, you can also spend real money on draws, and some packs are simply overpriced.
What's more, some of the character banners are only accessible with real money, which is a major drawback for the game. These kinds of problems are not unique to this title. Indeed, Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat was recently criticised on this point.
Now that One Punch Man World has been released, we invite you to make up your own mind by downloading the game!
