As a longtime Yakuza fan, I admit that I could never get into the previous Ichiban game . It turned the yakuza format into something strangely new and I wasn't entirely on board with it. When I wanted to just hammer the square button and destroy every enemy Kiryu was facing, it was very tough. Thankfully, Infinite Wealth made some distinct improvements from the last game in the next fight, and I enjoyed it more this time around. Kazuma Kiryu Image Source: Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio via Twinfinite Like Dragons: Infinite Fortune takes place four years after the events of Ichiban's first adventure, with the aftermath of the Great Dissolution still very fresh.
Ichiban actually Fax Lists works with Hello Work to help displaced yakuza find gainful employment and new meaning in their lives. But a nasty rumor spreads that misrepresents what he's up to, and Ichibon finds himself out of a job. Although this means he can no longer help his Yakuza brothers, it frees him up to take on another mission. At the invitation of his former captain, Sawashiro, Ichiban is tasked with finding a woman who is related to himself and his late family patriarch. This quest takes Ichiban (and the series) from Japan to the island paradise of Hawaii for the first time.
From here, it's the traditional Yakuza/Dragon-like story you might expect, full of betrayal, unlikely allies, and lots of fights. I will say that while it hits plenty of familiar notes, I was still glued to the story from start to finish, like a horror soap opera. One of the most amazing parts of the new location is that of course it follows other currencies, so your earned Yen will be converted to US Dollars upon arrival. I have to say, putting the money earned from fights into context has completely changed how I spend what I've earned. During the previous episodes of Hawaii, I felt like I was on the money for the first time in the series. It's also funny to win a fight for only about $5 and it made me laugh a little.
