Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Gameplay

In the game Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, you get to control characters like Ichiban Kasuga and Kazuma Kiryu, along with their friends, as they explore the Isezaki Ijincho district in Yokohama and Honolulu City in Hawaii. The Kamurochō district, known from previous Like a Dragon titles, is also a featured location. The game uses a turn-based combat system for all characters, similar to Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Each character can pick from various "jobs," which are like classes giving them special abilities and playstyles.

Kiryu's unique job, "Dragon of Dojima," lets him switch between different fighting styles and even do real-time combat temporarily, like in the previous games. The Poundmates summon system is back, where you can call on various characters from the franchise, such as Shun Akiyama and Kaoru Sayama.

There are familiar minigames like Karaoke, Darts, Mahjong, and arcade games like Virtua Fighter 3 TB, Sega Bass Fishing, and SpikeOut. New minigames in Infinite Wealth include Crazy Delivery, a food delivery game inspired by Sega's Crazy Taxi; Sujimon Battle, a game parodying Pokémon; and Miss Match, a dating app for Kasuga. A significant side activity, Happy Resort Dondoko Island, has Kasuga managing his resort island, involving tasks like resource gathering, crafting, and social interactions. Kiryu has his side activity called Bucket List, where he reunites with old friends from previous Like Dragon titles.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Plot

Three years after the Tojo Clan and Omi Alliance dissolve, ex-yakuza Ichiban Kasuga works at Hello Work, aiming to help former yakuza find legitimate jobs. His attempt to propose to Saeko is gently rejected, leading to a year of silence. In 2023, false rumors about Kasuga forming a crime ring surface, causing him, Nanba, and Adachi to lose their jobs. They discover the Seiryu Clan is recruiting ex-yakuza and uncover a plan to disband remaining yakuza clans. Kasuga learns his mother, Akane, is alive in Hawaii and heads there.

In Hawaii, Kasuga encounters challenges, including a robbery, and befriends engineer Eiji Mitamura. They discover Akane's disappearance involves gangs seeking her. Kasuga reunites with Kazuma Kiryu, who reveals he has cancer. Together, they uncover a conspiracy involving a powerful figure, Bryce Fairchild, seeking Akane for her knowledge of a child named Lani. The story unfolds with battles, alliances, and revelations about the underworld's schemes.

As Kasuga's team works to save Lani, Kiryu faces challenges in Japan. They eventually confront the mastermind, Bryce, and reveal his nefarious plans. Kasuga and Kiryu's teams dismantle the conspiracy, save Akane and Lani, and ensure justice is served. In the aftermath, characters embark on new paths, and Kasuga attempts to express his feelings to Saeko. Kiryu, no longer needing to hide, reveals his true identity to his family.

The game concludes with characters finding closure, redemption, and a sense of moving forward after facing the complex web of criminal activities and personal challenges.
