Game Overview
Like A Dragon: Ishin! is a modern remake of Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin!, a spinoff title of the acclaimed Yakuza series of action-adventure games.
As the original version was previously only released in Japan, Like A Dragon: Ishin! marks the game’s localization for Western audiences.
|
|
Set during the closing years of the Edo period known as the Bakumatsu, Like a Dragon: Ishin! follows the exploits of Sakamoto Ryoma, a samurai on a mission to find his master’s killer. Assuming a fake identity, he joins the Shinsengumi to scour the dangerous streets of Kyoto and fight his way to the truth.
Characters from the Yakuza Franchise Appear
|
|
Like A Dragon: Ishin! features several characters from the Yakuza franchise who have been adapted to the game’s setting with key roles in the story. Sakamoto Ryoma is modeled in the character of Kazuma Kiryu, the iconic protagonist of the franchise, while Shinsengumi captain Okita Souji is based on Kiryu’s rival Goro Majima. Familiar friends and foes alike also appear with major and minor roles in the game.
New Features
New Characters
Like A Dragon: Ishin adds several characters from Yakuza 0, Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, and Yakuza: Like A Dragon. The overall casting has also been significantly changed so players can expect to interact with new and familiar faces throughout the game’s main story events.
New Sub Stories (Side Quests)
More Sub Stories (side quests) are included in Like A Dragon: Ishin that are not found in the original Japan-only release on the Playstation 4. These optional missions will also introduce new characters with unique minor story events to significantly add more play time to that of the original game.
New Music (Karaoke Songs)
New music through the Karaoke mini game will also be added to Like A Dragon: Ishin. Among the tracks confirmed in the game is a special version of the iconic song Baka Mitai which has been rearranged to fit the setting of the Edo Period.
Photo Mode
Like A Dragon: Ishin’s new Photo Mode will give players options to edit and adjust photo position, add stamps and color filters, and even have characters adopt specific poses and expressions. Photo Mode can also be accessed immediately at the start of game so you can start snapping pictures as you begin the main story.
New Collectible “Notes”
A new type of collectible items simply called “Notes” will also be introduced in the game. These items are found all throughout Kyoto and can be given to a character named Sato to obtain insight text written on each collectible found.
New Ishin Difficulty (Hardest Difficulty Mode)
Like A Dragon: Ishin also features a new difficulty mode called Ishin difficulty which is even more challenging the original release’s EX Hard mode. Players can unlock Ishin difficulty by purchasing the Like A Dragon: Ishin Deluxe Edition which includes exclusive character skins, weapons, items, and the privilege to play the game three days earlier than its regular worldwide launch.
