  • Strong, story-driven narrative
  • Lots of humour
  • Lavish presentation

A gripping yakuza crime drama set in bubble-era Japan, where brutal street brawls with switchable fighting styles sit alongside hilariously absurd side stories, karaoke and business management. Kiryu's and Majima's intertwined tales are among the series' finest.

Yakuza Kiwami 2

Strong, story-driven narrative

This remake of a Yakuza classic tells a serious crime drama about Kiryu and the Tojo clan across the nightlife districts of Kamurocho and Sotenbori. Heavy brawling is balanced by absurd side activities, and the Majima Saga adds a second playable character.

Dark Ties

Strong, story-driven narrative

A new Yakuza spin-off following Yoshitaka Mine, who falls into the underworld after losing his startup and searches for true bonds. It blends a dramatic story, boxing-based brawling and plenty of quirky side activities.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties

Lots of humour

This remake of Yakuza 3 mixes beat 'em up brawling with an emotional crime drama about Kazuma Kiryu, plus wacky side activities in Japanese city districts. Dark Ties adds a new story told from Yoshitaka Mine's perspective.

Yakuza

Strong, story-driven narrative

The series opener follows Kazuma Kiryu, freshly out of a ten-year prison term and dragged into a power struggle over 10 billion missing yen. Street brawls, side stories and minigames in the Kamurocho nightlife district blend serious gangster drama with offbeat humor.

The remake of the first Yakuza follows Kazuma Kiryu through the red-light district of Kamurocho: a serious crime drama contrasted by absurd side activities and heavy-hitting brawls.

Lost Judgment

Yakuza 2

Strong character progression

Kazuma Kiryu fights through Tokyo and Osaka in a gripping crime drama to stop an all-out gang war. Heavy brawling meets quirky side activities, offbeat substories and a serious yakuza saga.
