Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

Tactical Synopsis & Narrative Worldbuilding

Sprawling dual-protagonist turn-based JRPG uniting Ichiban Kasuga and Kazuma Kiryu across Honolulu, Hawaii and Yokohama with dynamic Live Command battles.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a monumental turn-based crime drama RPG developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by SEGA. Bringing together eternal optimist Ichiban Kasuga and legendary Dragon of Dojima Kazuma Kiryu as dual protagonists, the story spans the neon streets of Isezaki Ijincho in Yokohama and the sun-drenched tropical expanse of Honolulu, Hawaii. Its "Live Command RPG Battle" system upgrades turn-based combat with free movement positioning: maneuver characters inside circular range rings to knock enemies into explosive street props, trigger Smackdown instant-wins against weaker foes, chain tag-team combo attacks with party members, and unleash Kiryu’s Dragon’s Resurgence to temporarily break the turn-based rules for real-time brawler combos. Outside the main story, players can spend dozens of hours rebuilding Dondoko Island or collecting Sujimon.

Core Gameplay Mechanics & Tactical Depth

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth distinguishes itself through committed mechanical cadence and dynamic subsystem interaction. Rather than relying on simple stat bloat, survival and mastery require keen spatial awareness, defensive timing, and synergistic loadout planning:

  • Input Responsiveness & Animation Recovery: Every offensive strike and evasion tool possesses explicit startup and recovery animation frames, penalizing mindless inputs while rewarding calculated counterplay.
  • Subsystem Progression & Build Agency: Character upgrade paths provide meaningful mechanical modifiers that dramatically reshape combat dynamics and resource regeneration.
  • Encounter Design & Adversary AI: Boss encounters and elite encounters feature multi-tiered attack phases, shifting hitboxes, and environmental hazard manipulation.
