Dragon Craise: Yakuza shorts in Hawaii

Goro Majima is the protagonist of the new adventure of the saga as Dragon.

In recent times, it seems that Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio decided to bet on the annual launch of its popular franchise like Dragon or Yakuza (and a few years, even two of them). Although they dominated the art of recycling of resources, it is always a titanic effort to launch a game of the main saga and that is probably why they started to make shorter titles as a Like a Gaiden dragon: the man who erased his name o spin-offs like a dragon: Ishin!

Like a Gaiden dragon: the man who erased his name told us a story of about 15 hours which served to fill the narrative holes that had not been told in the main game. Now RGG returns to his last Gaiden, like Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.

Hawaii is in crisis. Pirate ships sail on the high seas. Corsair bands travels the islands in search of pleasure, fighting and loot. In the middle of this chaos, a young man, Noah Rich, finds a man half excluded on the beach of his small island town. Tattooed and with a patch in the eyes, this foreigner does not remember his name or his past, but trusts his muscle memory to save him as well as Noah of a ruthless band of pirate candidates. We know this man like Majima, Shimano's crazy dog, but it is a Majima who has lost all his memories. One of Yakuza Pirate's best things is that This is the first match with Majima as a playable protagonist of Yakuza 0Since his charisma permeates the minute game 1.

The last episode of the main series, Like a dragon: infinite wealth, led us to the new and wonderful environment of Honolulu, Hawaii. Pirate Yakuza sends us back to this place, using Majima's Pirate adventure to attach the cowardly ends in the plot. Although this approach could have left the game as a reshuffle rather than a unique experience, there are elements that make the gameplay remain fresh.

The first is the return of the real -time combat system of the first deliveries of Yakuza and the judgment. Crush the buttons to cross Hawaii gives the game a very different flavor of the action in turn of infinite wealth. Unlike Yakuza 0, where Majima had four different combat styles, RGG reduced it to two. The first is his classic crazy dog ​​style, which incorporates a ruthless knife, acrobatic movements and complete madness to overwhelm small groups of adversaries with style and violence. Now that Majima has become Captain Pirate, also has a new style: Sea Dog. Here you use pirate weapons such as sabers and pistols to make their way between a multitude of rascals

Speaking of great battles, we have another of the great news of the game: the fight of the boat against Barco. While sailing in the Hawaii islands, from time to time, you cross other hacked ships, They throw you out of the high seas with cannons, machine guns and even a launcher. The fight itself is not the most original in the world, but it is fun and brings a variety to it.

If you want to succeed as a pirate, you must bring together a crew. As you know people from the islands, you can ask them to join your ship, normally ending a secondary story. You attribute the members of your crew to several positions, such as the management of cannons, the shooting of machine guns, the repair of the ship or the membership of the approach group.

Some of the new secondary characters are fantastic. Noah could have been a boring companion, but his enthusiasm for the adventure makes him quite endearing. In addition, he has a baby tiger called Goro who follows and attacks your enemies. His father Jason, your browser, also joins after spending years on an isolated Hawaiian island trying to drink until his death. With the help of Majima, he finally begins to open his son, and it's nice to see how this dynamic develops. The chief of the ship, Masaru Fujita, is another great character, also being a well -known face of Japanese television.

At the sound level, Japanese dubb. As per usual, Spanish translation work is fantasticWonderly adapting the original meaning of what is said.

Conclusions

Like a dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is not the best game in the saga like Dragon, nor hackers in general, but offers a solid representation of the two. He presents one of the best protagonists in the series, tells a fairly convincing story and filled with many holes left by infinite wealth.
