Introduction to the Madness
Yakuza in Hawaii is the next chapter of the long-running franchise that has fans buzzing with excitement. If you thought you knew what to expect, think again! With Goro Majima at the helm, this game looks set to deliver a mix of zany antics reminiscent of a Ryu Ga Gotoku take on Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag.
Majima’s Dual Combat Styles
In this latest installment, Majima won’t just be throwing fists; he’ll transform into a dashing pirate too! Featuring two combat styles, ‘Mad Dog’ nurtures his classic reflex-oriented Yakuza skills while ‘Sea Dog’ unleashes a whole new world of cutlass-swinging excitement. Fancy a brawl with a twist? Activate Majima’s ‘madness gauge’ to summon bizarre spectral instruments that bring in mythical companions. A man-eating shark? Check. A sadistic ape? Double check. This gameplay marries chaos with creativity in a way only the Yakuza series can.
Exploring Naval Combat
The thrill intensifies as players dive into naval combat, which promises to be more sophisticated than a casual throwback. Navigating the sandy shores of Hawaii, Majima battles legions of oddly-suited foes, reminiscent of moments in classic pirate lore. With ships reminiscent of Black Flag, the sea battles reveal unexplored depths of tangled combat never seen before in a Yakuza game. Get ready to hoist the sails and engage with unmatched intensity!
As Yakuza in Hawaii launches next month, the hype is undeniably real. After witnessing the 15-minute presentation, one thing’s for sure: we’re in for a wild time channelling our inner pirate and punching ‘suspicious men’ to our heart’s content.
