Our First Impressions
At Hyped4, we’ve already had hands-on time with the game and found it to be a unique and extravagant addition to the Like a Dragon universe. As we noted in our review:
“It is a peculiar and extravagant Yakuza/Like a Dragon, just what we could expect from Majima himself. The story serves as a mere excuse to give a ship to the ‘Mad Dog’ and introduce new mechanics such as crew formation, maritime exploration, and naval combat. While not excessively deep, these additions provide a breath of fresh air to the series.”
With its larger-scale enemy encounters, ship-based battles, and classic Yakuza-style chaos, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii promises an exciting new experience for fans of the series.
