Mechanically speaking though, Like a Dragon: Ishin plays very similar to other games in the franchise and will feel very familiar. With this backdrop, Like a Dragon: Ishin is a wholly new experience in the franchise, especially for western audiences. The British are attempting to find inroads into Japan to ultimately colonize it, and a brutal class system strangles the people of Japan under its heel. Ishin is set in 1867, during a time of political strife and unrest. What ensues is a plot that has consequences for the entirety of Japan. Ryoma is framed for the murder and thus sets out to the land of Kyo (now known as Kyoto) in order to find his mentor’s killer. You play Sakamoto Ryoma, a samurai who returns to his homeland just in time for his mentor to be murdered. ![]() The version that has been released is an enhanced, reworked, and remastered version of a title with the same name that was released in 2014, exclusively in Japan. ![]() Technically, Like a Dragon: Ishin isn’t new.

The first is a Yakuza/Like a Dragon title featuring a female protagonist, showcasing Japan from a female view. As some of us have talked about the franchise, I mentioned that I was interested in two differing options for spinoff games. It’s no secret that those of us here at Phenixx Gaming are fans of Ryu Ga Gotoku’s Yakuza (now renamed Like a Dragon) franchise. ![]()
