Yakuza: Like a Dragon is the newest title in the series and is known as Yakuza 7 in Japan. The game stars a new protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga, who is released after taking the fall and serving a prison sentence for someone else but finds himself abandoned by his former allies in the yakuza. As opposed to the action combat of previous entries, Yakuza: Like a Dragon features turn-based battles, as well as a job system.
