The story
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a turn-based role-playing game developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega. It follows dual protagonists Ichiban Kasuga and Kazuma Kiryu, with the narrative set primarily in Japan and Hawaii. The game uses a party-based combat system that builds on previous Like a Dragon entries, incorporating positioning and environmental interactions. Players engage in main story missions alongside a wide range of optional activities and side content. The title combines narrative-driven progression with exploration, character development, and minigames typical of the series.
What it’s like
Bright tropical sunlight bleeds into hazy Honolulu streets, all saturated palm greens, turquoise shallows and sun-faded pastels, then cuts to the crowded neon and paper-lantern glow of Kamurocho and Yokohama after dark. The camera stays close and mobile, cutting between pulpy cinematic set-pieces and tableau-style conversations framed like stage scenes, while the soundtrack swings from lazy steel-guitar island grooves to brassy city funk and sudden orchestral swells. Combat is turn-based and theatrical, with flashy special moves and crowds of bystanders to exploit, so it reads more like a comic-book brawl than a grim fight. The vibe is warm, goofy and openhearted, with a sly undercurrent of melancholy around ageing, loyalty and second chances. It suits long weekend sessions, a comfortable evening on the couch, or a playful companion for a commute on a handheld. Violence is frequent and stylised, with exaggerated hits and bloodless knockouts, plus crude humour and some adult themes. It is best for players who enjoy big-hearted, talky characters, lots of side activities and a playful take on yakuza melodrama.
