Like Ishin, Kenzan is set during the time of Feudal Japan in the Edo period, however the game takes place in 1605 with players playing the character of Miyamoto Musashi.īoth Yakuza Kenzan and Yakuza Ishin are classed as being ‘ jidaigeki‘ games, which mean ‘period dramas’. Yakuza Kenzan, also known as Ryū ga Gotoku Kenzan in Japan, is also a spin-off game of the Yakuza series. While it wasn’t released worldwide, it did well in Japan and scored favorably with website Famitsu. Unlike the self-assured Kiryu, players will play the character of Sakamoto Ryōma, a low-ranked samurai. The game is set in the Bakamatsu period, which refers to the final few last years of the Edo period. Yakuza Ishin is a spin-off game from the Yakuza series that was released only in Japan, 2014 for the PS3 and PS4. It’s a fair question, but an even fairer one would be: What are Yakuza Ishin and Yakuza Kenzan in the first place? What are Yakuza Ishin and Yakuza Kenzan?
It has earned so loyal of a fan-base that some gamers are wondering when Yakuza Ishin and Yakuza Kenzan in English will be coming to the West to join games like Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami 2. There’s no need to debate which game to start with: pick up Ishin, and go from there.To say that the Yakuza games have done well in the West is a huge understatement. It’s not really a mainline game, while still having kinda familiar characters, which only makes it a perfect entry to the Yakuza series without getting overwhelmed by the number of other releases available. I’m sure some people would think a Yakuza game with a different skin would make it sound “bad”, but as mentioned, RGG are just that good at it. Don’t overly keep those cards too close to yourself as you WILL need to use those troop cards to make it through the battle, whether it be healing up or firing off attacks when they’re vulnerable. The demo caps off with an intense bossfight.
This combo grants you a moveset with a really good dodge and the ability to shoot downed opponents, as the sword has no such “finisher” option. The gun (pistol)/sword stance feels like the studio’s subtle nudge as the best combination, due to its incredible versatility. “Random” encounters can occur when you bump into people, with the other option being simply rushing right away to the boss.
It’s just fun, that’s what it comes down to.Īs Sakamoto Ryoma, the demo led us to stalk a bounty in the night to reach them before other members of the Sixth Division do. The Yakuza cast are incredibly iconic, with the mainline games’ themes of loyalty and camaraderie also present in Ishin, with the alleged-isekai offering a chance to see them in a different setting. Not-Kiryu and Not-Majima are playing “roles” in this Bakumatsu era, which plays into the studio’s strength.
Follow the heavens that RGG will finally bring over Ishin, because the world needs samurai Yakuza.
