stupid job
In Yakuza: Infinite Fortune, jobs are like careers, giving your characters hilarious powers in a turn-based combat system.
Kasuga Ichiban can play as a scuba diver, fire dancer, cowboy, and samurai in his adventures. The unlockable scenarios for each job are huge highlights and help to add variety to the vast array of battles.
There is an Elmo mascot full of tenacious energy
One of the big new additions to Infinite Fortune is that part of the game’s story is set in Hawaii, marking the first time the series has left Japan. One of the additional elements is a massive new mini-game called “Dondoko Island”, where you clean up a tropical island and turn it into a tropical paradise; just like Animal Crossing.
But the best part of Dondoko is a giant, Elmo-like mascot named Mukku, whose fierce, staring eyes and expressionless mouth are strongly reminiscent of the legendary Philadelphia Flyers Gritty, the team mascot, makes me smile every time.
The feud between Sega and Nintendo breaks out again
It’s not just Animal Crossing: There are tons of parodies in Infinite Riches, many of which happen to be related to Nintendo. In Yakuza: Like a Dragon, you filled out the “Sujimon” database like a Pokedex, but in Infinite Fortune, there’s a full combat system.
This is just one of those cases that goes to show that RGG Studio isn’t content with simply making up numbers and using the same old systems in every game, instead trying to iterate on them to keep things fresh.
you have a segway
Another example of RGG’s commitment to expanding systems and intelligently improving quality of life in Infinite Fortune is the addition of the greatest form of transportation known to man: the Segway.
The city of Honolulu is the largest environment in a Yakuza or Enter the Dragon game, so driving around the larger streets is not only silly fun, but also more convenient from a gameplay perspective.

Kiryu is sad
For all its generosity, “Infinite Fortune” features not one, but two protagonists.
Throughout the game, you play as Kasuga Ichiban and Kiryu, the original protagonists of other Yakuza games. Most of Kiryu’s story takes place in Yokohama, a port city south of Tokyo, Japan, but Kiryu feels very nostalgic because of his environment.
Scattered across his map as collectibles, you can find flashbacks to dramatic moments from previous Yakuza games – which can serve as a solid history lesson if you’re lacking in background knowledge; if you’ve played every minute of it, Get a little super fan service, too.
