Chief producer of the Yakuza series wasn’t worried about going turn-based back in Yakuza: Like a Dragon, saying, ‘we are confident that we can make an enjoyable game, even if it is in a genre we have never made before’
The Yakuza/Like a Dragon video games are an annualized collection, a brand new entry showing yearly since 2014, and generally two per yr—as was the case in 2023, when Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio launched each Like a Dragon: Ishin! and Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Identify. With so many video games popping out, ensuring they really feel a minimum of just a little completely different, with altering protagonists, areas, and time durations, is important. Altering the fight system was one of the vital stunning shifts.
When the turn-based JRPG fight of Yakuza: Like a Dragon was first revealed in a trailer on April 1, 2019, some gamers assumed it was an April idiot’s joke and it might follow the collection’ brawler-style fight. However RGG was severe, and the mainline collection is staying turn-based for subsequent yr’s Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
