![]() ![]() ![]() On the other hand, mini-games in Ishin! are worth sinking your teeth into. There are some gems in these side stories that are worth the effort, but some just didn't hit the mark, as I’ve completed a couple that felt like a waste of time. These side stories are comedic 90% of the time and balance the game’s overall tone, as the main story is nothing but serious. Halfway through, I completely ignored the need to craft equipment, as it felt like the developers were just testing the waters as to how it would feel to have such a system in an action game like Yakuza. The gear I earned while going through the main story was more than enough for me to deal with all encounters on Normal difficulty. I found that upgrading weapons and armor wasn’t essential, as I didn't feel the need to grind and participate in crafting. With the right materials, you can enhance/craft weapons and armor to improve damage and defense. Since this Yakuza game is filled with samurai swords and western firearms, you can also upgrade the efficiency of your weapons through a crafting system. Most of the time, you’ll experience entertaining combat choreography that can swing in your favor if you're successful at the game's many quick-time events. The combat truly shines during the game's version of boss fights, 1-on-1 encounters with a prominent character in the game. Thankfully, the combat is fun, and it stays that way even when you reach the 20th hour. Each one is meant to be most effective for certain encounters, but most of the time, I found myself sticking to one style and using the same combo string for efficiency’s sake. In just the first few hours, the player will be given access to the game's four fighting styles, which can be switched at any time during combat. Having these characters and their voice actors featured in this game makes Ishin! a celebration of the franchise as a whole it’s an opportunity to see these characters from a new perspective, with some delivering different performances, while others act in the way you'd expect, such as Goro's counterpart being the same type of crazy we know and love from the main series.Īs for gameplay, Ishin! plays like any other Yakuza game (except Yakuza: Like a Dragon). The cast has been updated with familiar faces like Yakuza 0's Daisaku Kuze, and even Koichi Adachi, a character that was introduced in Yakuza: Like a Dragon, the latest mainline entry that took a more RPG approach. Everyone's favorite madman Goro Majima is embodied in Captain Okita Soji, and even main antagonists like Ryuji Goda ( Yakuza 2) take on different roles in Ishin!. Most of the main cast is portrayed in the likeness of characters found in the mainline series, with Ryoma being the counterpart of Kazuma Kiryu. It's a serious tale that starts slow but finishes strong, all delivered in typical Ryu Ga Gotoku fashion. Just when you think you’ve fully understood a character’s intentions, new revelations will turn main characters into possible suspects, and keep you on your toes as to whether betrayal awaits around the next corner. The dramatic story will keep you guessing. ![]() Once he joins the organization, Ryoma faces a series of mysteries and twists that kept me itching to see what would happen next. He goes to Kyo (Kyoto) in search of answers, with just one clue to go on - that the assassin used a Tennen Rishin sword style unique to a special police force called the Shinsengumi. You play Sakamoto Ryoma, a samurai ronin on a journey to avenge the murder of someone he cared about deeply. ![]() Political intrigue, revenge, and everything in between ![]()
