  • JRPG
  • Turn-based
  • Crime drama

Ichiban Kasuga walks out of prison after 18 years to find his clan has fallen. In Yokohama, street fights become turn-based battles with jobs and objects from your surroundings, mixing mob drama, absurd humour and minigames.

Why play it now

When you want a turn-based JRPG of around 50 hours that blends mob drama with wildly silly side content.

Who it's for

For Dragon Quest fans or Yakuza series fans; you don't need to have played any of the earlier games.

When not to pick it

If you hate grinding: mid-story difficulty spikes force you to level up.
