Description
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.

LEVEL UP FROM UNDERDOG TO DRAGON IN DYNAMIC RPG COMBAT


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.

Please note that the DRM-Free version of Yakuza: Like a Dragon does not include the Pachislot machine minigame with the related items and DLC.

It's a new direction for the series, but Like a Dragon captures the essence of what came before while setting out on its own journey.

4.5/5 stars
Yakuza: Like a Dragon impressively pulls off the switch to an RPG in style, providing an excellent combat system supported by loveable characters, and a tantalising main storyline with meaningful side quests.

A fun, charming, and occasionally brilliant Yakuza game, let down by an overabundance of repetitive turn-based battles.

Introduction

My first game in the Yakuza franchise and I got to say: it's pretty fun. Wacky characters, engaging story, rewarding progression structure, and an enjoyable turn-based cobat system.

Yakuza: Like an RNG

Yakuza Like a Dragon is a game that has quite a good story, engaging characters, dark themes (with Ichiban's magical touch), and... wait where is the refined and awesome combat system from the previous entries that the series was famous for? Oh yeah, it has turn-based combat instead. If anyone here has played any Turn-Based combat game in the past you know what is coming... removal of skill based combat in favor of a combat system that is very heavily dependent on your character's level, not your skill level, plus good old RNG. there isn't even any ATB its the most pure Turn-BBased combat out there. I had to install a mod that restores the old combat system from the previous entries to make this game somewhat enjoyable, shoutout to Jhinro. I am glad the other Yakuza entries that don't follow Ichiban don't use this outdated combat system.
