One Piece Mansion Description
One Piece Mansion is an original puzzle game, enriched with strategic elements, developed and published by Capcom.
Story
In One Piece Mansion we play the role of Polpo, the owner of a block of flats, whose sister was kidnapped by his competitor - Chocopape. In order to recover it, the hero has to perform a number of tasks for his adversary, such as making a certain amount of money or constructing a certain number of floors.
Mechanics
In One Piece Mansion the action is shown from the side. The building, which has been put at our disposal, is home to a wide variety of characters, and our overriding goal is to keep their stress indicators at a decent level. Individual people have their habits and needs, which, in turn, have a negative or positive impact on their neighbors; as we can move tenants from one apartment to another in the course of the game, the key to success is to locate individual people in such a way that everyone feels happy. Otherwise, the tenants will decide to move, which will deprive us of a source of income. And money comes in handy - because if we do well, our apartment building attracts more and more people for whom it is necessary to create new rooms and floors, which of course costs money.
However, our prosperity is thorn in Chocopape's side, who from time to time sends to us his subordinates wreaking havoc in the block. We can throw them out, both by surrounding them with people sending negative vibrations, and by letting Polpo take things into his own hands - after switching to managerial mode, the protagonist can use his alarm whistle, which sends enemies back to their hiding place.
Game modes
In addition to the story mode, in which we perform the tasks commissioned by Chocopape, One Piece Mansion also has an Endless mode, where we try to keep the block in order for as long as we can.
Technical aspects
One Piece Mansion features two-dimensional visuals adopting cartoonish style and extremely rich color palette. The game is complemented by a dynamic, synth-wave soundtrack.
