Yakuza Like a Dragon<\/a><\/p>\n

It looks like the Yakuza series will be a turn-based RPG from here on out, similar to Yakuza: Like a Dragon.<\/p>\n

If you want a straight-up action series set in the world of Yakuza, Lost Judgment and its predecessor will have to do.<\/p>\n

“The Yakuza series has been transformed into a turn-based RPG,” said the duo. “On the other hand, over the years, Ryu ga Gotoku Studio has accumulated resources and know-how of making flashy and exhilarating action games that are effortless to enjoy.<\/p>\n

“We decided that we should let our signature action gameplay live on through Lost Judgment.”<\/p>\n

Like a Dragon is the seventh main entry in the franchise and stars Ichiban Kasuga. It was the first in the series to feature turn-based combat<\/a>, and also contains plenty of side content, mini-games<\/a>, and even underground dungeons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The game released on Xbox Series X\/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Steam on November 10, 2020 and was one of Alex’s favorite games of the year<\/a>.<\/p>\n
