Yakuza: Like a Dragon
About
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.
Confused and alone, he embarks on a mission to discover the truth behind his family's betrayal and take his life back, becoming an unlikely hero for the city’s outcasts on his journey.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon reviews and comments
An amazing party going through a great story, wonderfully implemented combat mechanics and job system and a banger of a soundtrack.
This is for everyone
Go play this masterpiece - even if you've never touched Yakuza before, it works as a great entry point too
Turn-based combat but with active defence prompts and enemies moving on screen making use of aoe abilities a rng event.
PROS:
- Likeable main character
- Companions
- Job/class system
- Combat
- Soundtrack
- Visuals
- Minigames
CONS:
- Story coincidences
- "Yakuza-honor-family"
- Cheap, boring and empty sewer/dungeon
- AI pathing around objects
- Aoe abilities missing do to moving targets
- Lack of verticality makes the city feel flat and repetitive
- Annoying management minigame hiding an optional companion
- Massive spike in difficulty midway through, forcing grind via basic arena spawns
