Preview: 'Like a Dragon: Ishin!’ brings an old formula into the past


Players can choose from four different fighting styles that have their own strengths. Using the Swordsman is straightforward but fairly slow and defensive while the Wild Dancer uses the sword and gun. — Sega/TNS

The Like a Dragon series is no stranger to spinoffs and fresh takes on the series. It’s been through a zombie apocalypse and a story focused on the other side of the law. It has revamped its combat system and introduced new main characters.

The upcoming entry offers yet another approach to its style of storytelling, but the series formerly known as Yakuza takes place in 1866. Like a Dragon: Ishin! follows the exploits of Ryoma Sakamoto, who is on a mission to avenge his master after a mysterious assassin kills his mentor and gets him in trouble with the authorities.
