Become Ichiban Kasuga, a low-ranking yakuza grunt left on the brink of death by the man he trusted most. Take up your legendary bat and get ready to crack some underworld skulls in dynamic RPG combat set against the backdrop of modern-day Japan.



RISE LIKE A DRAGON


Ichiban Kasuga, a low-ranking grunt of a low-ranking yakuza family in Tokyo, faces an 18-year prison sentence after taking the fall for a crime he didn't commit. Never losing faith, he loyally serves his time and returns to society to discover that no one was waiting for him on the outside, and his clan has been destroyed by the man he respected most.
Ichiban sets out to discover the truth behind his family's betrayal and take his life back, drawing a ragtag group of society’s outcasts to his side: Adachi, a rogue cop, Nanba, a homeless ex-nurse, and Saeko, a hostess on a mission. Together, they are drawn into a conflict brewing beneath the surface in Yokohama and must rise to become the heroes they never expected to be.

Experience dynamic RPG combat like none other. Switch between 19 unique Jobs ranging from Bodyguard to Musician, using the battlefield as your weapon. Take up bats, umbrellas, bikes, signs, and everything else at your disposal to clean up the streets!

ENTER THE UNDERWORLD PLAYGROUND


When you're not busy bashing heads, relax by hitting up the local arcade for some classic SEGA games, compete with locals in a no holds barred go-kart race around Yokohama, complete 50 unique substories, or just take in the scenery of a modern-day Japanese city. There’s always something new around the corner.

Buying for 2nd time because GoG is love!

Yakuza LaD on GoG without Denuvo!?!? I already own this game on Steam, and I happily purchased it for a second time to have it here on GoG. Pretty much the entire Yakuza series is here now, it's amazing! Life will be great if we could get Like a Dragon: Ishin! The switch to turn based combat, I love it. I grew up with turn based combat on Final Fantasy 1, 2, 3... I love it in Persona, and now I can love it Yakuza. I could die happy today after getting this. Thank you GoG!

One of the Best JRPGs in Years

No you did not misread that, this game is a JRPG combined with a Yakuza game. And it's probably one of my all-time favorites. It's still very much a Yakuza game with a plethera of minigames including Mahjong, Karaoke, and Batting Center, a ton of well-written Sub Stories, and two major side stories called Business Management and Dragon Kart (a straight-up Mario Kart clone). One of the biggest changes you'll notice if you've played any of the games is the combat, which has been changed from real-time combat to a turn-based one based a party of four and the Job class system from the early Final Fantasy games. And this is maybe one of the best parts of the game as it's classes like Break Dancer, Pop Idol, and Riot Squad that each have their own specializations and Heat Actions that have been reimagined as special moves. You also get Summons in the form of a Smartphone app where you use your money to summon random bodyguards such as a crayfish rainstorm, a little girl with a donation box that sucks money out of enemies, and, later on, legacy characters from the series. The main story is probably one of the series' best as it revolves around a new protagonist, Kasuga Ichiban, and his misadventures through Yokomama. Unlike other protagonists, he's not a high-ranking official but a low-rank grunt that usually on the recieving end of Kiryu's punches. But I wound up really liking him as he's optimistic, hilarious, a bit naive, loyal to a fault with his friends, and never lets anything get him down. Oh, and he suffers from an overactive imagination and is a megafan of Dragon Quest. And the rest of the supporting cast is equally great and likable enough to where you actually cared about what happened to them, which is highly important in a JRPG. If you are wondering about the DLC, you don't need it. I haven't played it but I heard the two classes you get only one of them is worth it. But you can stick with the base game and the same fantastic experience. Recommended.

Turn Based RPGs are back

Final Fantasy, take notice, this is how you make a JRPG.
