Comprehensive Review & Analysis

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth fixes every mechanical rough edge from Yakuza: Like a Dragon’s first foray into turn-based combat and wraps it inside an unforgettable dual-protagonist epic. By letting you move Ichiban Kasuga, Kazuma Kiryu, and their party members freely within a movement circle before selecting an action, positioning becomes paramount: line up a bowling-ball Knockback attack through three thugs, kick a flaming bicycle into a boss, or move next to an ally for an automatic follow-up strike.

While Honolulu offers sunny beaches, crazy delivery minigames, and a full Animal Crossing-style resort builder on Dondoko Island, the heart of Infinite Wealth belongs to Kazuma Kiryu. Walking down memory lane through Kiryu’s Bucket List Memoirs of a Dragon while battling alongside a party that genuinely loves him delivers one of the most heartfelt send-offs in RPG history.

The Highlights

✓ Positional Live Command turn-based combat makes every street brawl fast, kinetic, and tactical
✓ Deeply moving dual storyline celebrating both Ichiban’s warmth and Kiryu’s decades-long legacy
✓ Massive Honolulu map packed with creative Jobs (Samurai, Pyrodancer, Desperado, Linebacker)
✓ Dondoko Island resort sim and Sujimon League could easily be standalone games

The Lowlights

× Mid-game chapter splits require keeping both Yokohama and Hawaii parties properly geared
