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.
I was a bit leery when I'd heard about the combat system for this game when it was still in development, and it is kind of a pain in the ass. This installment of what had up to this point been an excellent open-world Brawler series is a straight-up JRPG, and yet, it's still very much a Yakuza game. The battle system is like Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, and some kind of reverse Earthbound thrown into a blender; everyone's always moving around, and there are area attacks, but your character attacks when their turn comes up (it's not ATB) and many of the special attacks have timing elements. When you knock an enemy down, there's a mad scramble to have your next character hit them before they get back up in real-time for some extra damage, but if they run too close to another enemy, they'll get kicked and lose their turn altogether. If there are obstacles between you and your target, you'll kick them (sometimes into your own party) or just pick it up and wield it like in the other Yakuza games, and yes, the bicycles are still absolutely broken as secondary armaments.
And that brings us to the writing, which is right on par with the rest of the series. You've got all the usual melodrama, but with a brand new character, and he's a dork. No, really; one of the first things you learn about him is that he really likes Dragon Quest, and that's why combat is turn-based: he's pretending to be a legendary hero. Now, I usually hate "the nerd character" in any game, but Kasuga is an example of this archetype done right, by having traits beyond "likes video games and makes sound effects a lot". He's very excitable and emotional, and while he's maybe not all that intelligent, he is very smart; those antagonists you love to hate because they've got you by a technicality and there's nothing you can do about it are verbally eviscerated by the man, and he does it all on the fly. Since this is a JRPG, you have a party of characters, and they're all just as likable.
In "Yakuza: Like a Dragon," you step into the shoes of Ichiban Kasuga, a Yakuza with a heart of gold. In this new story he is driven by his ideals and circumstances, making him a truly lovable character. The game is designed to be accessible for newcomers, so you don't need to have played the earlier games to enjoy it, though you might not catch a few references that add extra flavor.
Be prepared for a slow burn; the game demands patience with its lengthy cutscenes and gradual story development. It took me around 10 hours to write a proper review because the beginning unfolds at a deliberate pace. However, this methodical buildup pays off, introducing game mechanics organically along with the pacing of the story.
Having played the previous Yakuza games, I understand that the new turn-based combat system might concern some fans. However, it successfully keeps the gameplay fresh while serving as an exciting spinoff in the franchise. It may take some getting used to, but once you're immersed in the game, there's no turning back – it's super fun. The game, like any Yakuza title, brilliantly captures both its serious and comical sides in equal measure.
As a self-proclaimed completionist, I've spent a considerable amount of time diving into side quests and mini-games. While some players might progress faster, I found that these additional activities greatly enriched my overall experience.
Thank you so much to Sega and RGG for bringing this game over to GOG!
I've played through most of it on Xbox already, but decided to pick the game up here just to support it.
I've been playing through it again here, and it's an absolute blast! I usually have difficulty retaining interest in single player games personally, but I find myself continuing to come back to it which is super good :)
Please consider bringing other Sega games to GOG as well! I would love to see some of ATLUS' games make their way here too 👀
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
