Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a turn-based JRPG developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega, released in January 2024. As the eighth mainline entry in the beloved Yakuza series, the game features an unprecedented dual-protagonist structure, following both the optimistic Ichiban Kasuga and the legendary Kazuma Kiryu as their stories intertwine across the vibrant streets of Yokohama, Japan, and the sun-soaked shores of Honolulu, Hawaii.

The game builds upon the turn-based combat system introduced in Yakuza: Like a Dragon, refining and expanding it with new job classes, environmental interactions, and tag-team attacks. Players can position their characters on the battlefield to maximize damage, knock enemies into environmental hazards, and execute elaborate combination attacks with party members. The job system offers tremendous variety, with classes ranging from the hard-hitting Samurai to the support-focused Geodancer.

Hawaii serves as a stunning new setting, offering a massive open world filled with activities, side stories, and secrets to discover. The Dondoko Island mini-game alone is a full-featured resort management simulation where Ichiban transforms a trash-covered island into a thriving vacation destination. The game is packed with an extraordinary amount of side content including karaoke, Sujimon battling, photography challenges, and dozens of deeply crafted substories that range from hilarious comedic vignettes to genuinely touching human dramas.

At its core, Infinite Wealth delivers an emotionally powerful narrative about friendship, mortality, and finding purpose. Kiryu's storyline in particular carries tremendous weight as the aging dragon confronts his legacy and mortality. With over 100 hours of content, breathtaking production values, and a perfect balance of comedy and drama, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth stands as one of the finest JRPGs ever crafted.

Tips for New Players

• Talk to everyone and explore every street — substories (side quests) are among the game's best content and are easily missed if you rush through the main plot.
• Invest in the Dondoko Island mini-game — the resort management mode provides excellent rewards and is a surprisingly deep experience on its own.
• Level up multiple job classes — switching jobs carries over learned skills, letting you build versatile characters with powerful cross-class combinations.
• Use environmental attacks in combat — positioning matters; knock enemies into traffic, walls, or each other for bonus damage and crowd control.
• Don't ignore Sujimon — the creature-collecting side activity unlocks powerful summons and entertaining storylines.
• Keep a balanced party — having at least one healer and one tank-type character prevents most difficult encounters from becoming frustrating.
• Save frequently before major story beats — some choices affect the narrative, and you may want to revisit key decisions.
