Yakuza: Like a Dragon is a groundbreaking entry in the long-running Yakuza series, developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by SEGA. This title redefines the franchise by introducing turn-based RPG combat while maintaining the emotional storytelling and intense crime drama the series is known for. It is one of the most popular modern Japanese RPGs, blending action, humor, and drama in a vibrant open-world setting.
The game follows Ichiban Kasuga, a loyal yakuza member who takes the fall for a crime he did not commit.After spending 18 years in prison, he returns to a world that has completely changed—and finds himself betrayed by the very family he once served. Stripped of everything, Ichiban begins a new journey in Yokohama, forming a party of misfits including a homeless ex-nurse, a disgraced cop, and a tough hostess. Together, they uncover corruption, criminal conspiracies, and the truth behind Ichiban’s downfall.
Unlike previous Yakuza titles, Like a Dragon introduces a dynamic turn-based combat system. Players can form a party of up to four characters, each with unique abilities and “jobs” such as Bodyguard, Idol, Chef, or Host.The combat is strategic, colorful, and highly interactive, making it one of the most innovative JRPG battle systems in recent years.
The game takes place in the richly detailed district of Isezaki Ijincho in Yokohama.

From karaoke battles to managing a business empire, the world is packed with engaging content beyond the main story.
