Hey there, gamers! I’ve got some exciting news for you today. We’re diving deep into the world of Yakuza/Like A Dragon series to discuss the latest installment – Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. So, buckle up and get ready for some action-packed gaming goodness!
Kazuma Kiryu, the legendary Dragon of Dojima, is back in the streets of Sotenbori, and he’s not messing around. Dressed in his signature funeral attire and armed with an arsenal of gadgets like exploding cigarettes and rocket shoes, he’s ready to take down any goons that stand in his way. And let’s not forget those sunglasses he refuses to take off. He’s got a new identity now – Joryu. But what does it mean? Only time will tell.
After faking his own death in Yakuza 6, Kiryu finds himself as an agent of the mysterious Daidoji Faction. They’re the ones who helped him disappear from the public eye. But even in his new life, things haven’t changed much. Bad guys still need a good beating, schemes are everywhere, and the people he cares about are in danger. It’s time for Kiryu to do what he does best – fight his way through the underworld.
In Like A Dragon Gaiden, you’ll have the option to stick to Kiryu’s classic dragon move-set or try out being an agent with all sorts of cool gadgets. Imagine being a costumed crime fighter with an arsenal of spy gear that would make James Bond jealous. Rocket shoes, monowires, cigarette bombs, and an army of drones – it’s like a superhero’s dream come true. Sure, it might be a bit unfair to use these gadgets to soften up your enemies before giving them a good thrashing, but who said gaming had to be fair? It’s all about having fun, right?
And that’s exactly what Like A Dragon Gaiden is all about – pure, unadulterated fun. It’s a concentrated dose of everything that made the Yakuza series so beloved by gamers. From high-intensity drama that can go from light comedy to serious emotion in the blink of an eye, to quirky side characters that add a splash of color to the urban jungle, this game has it all. And let’s not forget the satisfaction of slapping a goon’s body against the window of a mini-mart you just raided. Talk about catharsis!
If you’re in the mood for some side activities, Like A Dragon Gaiden has you covered. You can become the world’s best large man with a tiny racing car, master the art of pool and darts, and of course, belt out some tunes in a thrilling karaoke session. And hey, if you’re lucky, you might even get to do a duet with other suit-wearing Yakuza tough guys. Who knew they had such pipes?
So, my fellow gamers, it’s time to jump back into the world of Yakuza and rediscover the magic that made you fall in love with these wacky masterpieces in the first place.
