Yakuza: Like A Dragon [Day Ichi Steelbook Edition]

Ten years later, Kazuma returns to his home town Kamurocho.

He finds out that Yumi Sawamura, a young woman he grew up with in the orphanage, has disappeared.

Ten billion yen has been stolen from the Tojo Clan, and various yakuza groups are searching for the money everywhere.

Against his will, Kazuma becomes involved again in the struggles and intrigues of the yakuza world.

Yakuza is a hybrid game that contains elements of free-roaming exploration, hand-to-hand fighting, and role-playing.

In the exploration mode, Kazuma explores the Kamurocho district on foot.

The game's structure is mission-based: the player can, for the most part, explore the town, entering some of the buildings, shopping, or participating in various mini-games, such as UFO catcher, batting cage, slot machines, blackjack, and others.

Beside plot-advancing missions, the game also features side quests, which can be triggered by interacting with some of the characters roaming the town.

Hostile yakuza will often approach Kazuma on the city streets or during the missions, which leads to combat sequences.

The battles take place on separate screens; Kazuma must eliminate all of his enemies to achieve victory.

Though guns can be used by Kazuma or his opponents, the vast majority of the fights involve melee combat.

Kazuma can fight bare-handed, and is able to execute a variety of moves - punches, kicks, grabbing, throwing, and combinations thereof.

In addition, the player can interact with many objects seen on the battle screen and use them as weapons.
