Yakuza Like a Dragon

Yakuza Like a Dragon — the seventh installment in the main Yakuza series. This time, players take control of Ichiban Kasugi, a character known from the mobile Yakuza Online. The game is set in the city of Yokohama, which is located south of Tokyo, and the combat system has undergone major changes and has become turn-based. There are far fewer big RPGs being made in Japan now than ever, and a rare studio dares to offer players a story about adults, not teenagers who just have to figure out what they want from the world and how they will find their place in it. Promises of a much darker and more serious plot than before so many times turned out to be a puff that now seem to be about the same formality as the tricky names that give the rules of battle, for example, in each new Tales of, and which instantly fly out of memory.

About This Game

However, the creators of Yakuza are far from new to making up serious stories. How the yakuza clans share power, how the old principles collapse with the arrival of a new generation of bandits, what social problems existed and exist in Japan all this is presented in a series both without unnecessary sentimentality, and without completely hopeless gunk, and at the same time with a share absurd humor. And as Yakuza Like a Dragon clearly demonstrates, on the basis of all this, you can make exactly such a Japanese RPG in a modern setting that the genre has always lacked.
