Yakuza 0

The Yakuza is Japan's largest mafia group that rules everything that can be taken under control. Role-playing game with a lot of dialogue, revealing a deep plot, Yakuza 0 claims to be a game that combines friendship, self-love, the search for a true vocation. Events begin in 1988, when two Yakuza characters, Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima, take part in a battle for a small industrial site in the center of Kamurocho. Empty land rightfully belongs to no one, so all groups in Japan come to seize this place at any cost. However, our heroes are loyal to their clan, despite the fact that Goro was exiled and Kazuma is the lowest rank.

The first scene shows the "quiet" war of the Japanese mafiosi. Kiryu beats a man in a back street, demanding the return of debts, and then the nameless is killed, leaving him to rot on "empty land." Because of such cases, Kiryu leaves the Yakuza knowing that the Tojo clan is preparing a major attack. After that we fight with one of the brightest representatives of the clan - "lieutenant" - and begin our criminal activities with Akira Tachibane.

The RPG combines two modes. The first is adventure. You calmly roam the city, explore the area, talk to people, buy things, play mini-games and call the phone sex service. The second mode is combat. In it, you have to fight rivals using special techniques that must be bought for money (inside the game). There are 4 fighting styles available in Yakuza 0, which you can switch between at any moment. Playing as any character, you can choose a style, but remember about the "Dragon Style", which becomes available after a while.

There are two cities in the game - an analogue of Tokyo's Kabuki-Cho - Kamurocho, and Osaka's Dotonbori - Sotenbori. In both cities we will play as Kazuma and Majima.

The main part of the game is made up of side quests that help the story unfold.
