In the latest issue of Japanese exclusive magazine Famitsu, a whole heap of new details have been revealed regarding Yakuza: Like A Dragon’s (formerly known as just ‘Yakuza 7’ in the west) combat system and minigames.
Yakuza: Like A Dragon To Have Summons, Karting, Pachislot & More
Ranging from being able to summon allies to help you in battle (encompassing everything from longtime series brusier Gary Buster Holmes to a crayfish. Yes, a crayfish), a karting minigame that takes place on the streets of Yokosuka and a minigame where you have to stop main protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga, from falling asleep during a movie, Yakuza: Like A Dragon looks set to provide a whole heap of new things for players to get stuck into.
You can catch the full blurb from Famitsu below:
Characters
- Saeko Mukouda (voiced by Sumire Uesaka) – Cabaret hostess.
- Kouichi Adachi (voiced by Akio Ootsuka) – A former detective. He has received an unreasonable demotion by Horinouchi, the Superintendent General of the Metropolitan Police, for revolting against him. He is working with protagonist Ichiban Kasuga to get closer to Masumi Arakawa, who holds the evidence.
Live Command RPG Battle
When a battle begins, the regular people and those wearing delinquent-like outfits on the field will transform into RPG-like enemy characters with mohawks, or be half-naked, and have weapons.
Summons
By paying money on your smartphone in battle, you can summon help. A large number of characters can be summoned, including Gary Buster Holmes, Gonda Wara, a crayfish, and more. Summons can support you in battle through attack, recovery, and more.
Play Spots
Dragon Kart – A racing game set on a course in the streets of Yokosuka. Pick up boxes to obtain weapons like a rocket launcher or Gatling gun.
Traditional Movie Theater – Ichiban Kasuga always falls asleep in the middle of a movie. This is a button-pressing (rhythm game?) where Kasuga battles the temptation of a sheep man in order to overcome that sleepiness.
PachiSlot – PachiSlot games Million God: Kamigami no Gaisen Another God Hades: Ubowareta ZEUS Ver., PachiSlot Fist of the Blue Sky: Houyuu, and PachiSlot Moujuuou: Ouja no Houkou appear. Settings do not reset when you leave the parlor, but rather change with specific timing. Machines located closer to the entrance have higher rates, which reflect the settings of real life parlors. This is the only PachiSlot simulator running on PlayStation 4.
