For newcomers to the Like a Dragon/Yakuza series, Yakuza 0 serves as an ideal starting point, being chronologically the first game in the saga.
The Director`s Cut of Yakuza 0 retains all the action and drama of the 2015 original, enhanced with exclusive new scenes and a fresh English voiceover. Additionally, it introduces `Red Light Raid` mode, allowing players to engage in online co-op battles globally to conquer the game`s notorious underworld districts.
It`s important to note that Yakuza 0 and other Sega Switch 2 titles are distributed as `Game-Key Cards.` This format requires a download to your Switch 2, with the physical cartridge serving as an authentication key. Unlike digital purchases, Game-Key Cards are not linked to a specific Nintendo account, allowing for resale. An initial online connection is needed for the first boot-up, after which offline play is fully supported.
Yakuza 0 stands as one of Sega`s most acclaimed titles. Set in the prosperous Japan of 1988, it unfolds the origin stories of iconic Yakuza figures, Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima, detailing their transformation into the legendary Dragon of Dojima and Mad Dog of Shimano. The game is fundamentally a 3D beat-em-up, deeply interwoven with a compelling narrative that unfolds like a crime drama series.
Beyond its excellent main campaign, Yakuza 0 offers a wealth of captivating optional content, from diverse side stories to engaging minigames. Approximately a third into the main narrative, players unlock `Real Estate Royale,` a substantial side activity where Kiryu manages property and confronts rival moguls. Goro, too, gains a unique side business: managing the `Sunshine Cabaret Club.` Both modes ingeniously blend the game`s signature beat-em-up combat with intricate management simulation elements, offering surprising depth that could easily stand alone as separate games.
