The developer Ryu Gotok Studio (RGG) pledged to a twisted pace for his Dragon series, because eventually began to find a global audience and the results were consistently impressive. After disclosure, it seemed that the dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii could be a smaller side ground floor, which takes place next to the main franchise. This is generally true (do not expect any gigantic apparitions of the character or history), but the adventure of the hero Goro Majima is deeper and denser than I expected when I started. Pirate Yakuza will be known to those who previously played like Dragon games, but fortunately colorful are on several valuable lines.

I am one of many who have only recently appreciated like a dragon. My main contact point is the modern hero Ichiban Kasuga, who appeared in Yakuza: like a dragon and last year’s infinite wealth. I met Majima, but he is a friend of a friend. I don’t know him. At Pirate Yakuza, it turns out that not when he wakes up on the beach with amnesia. This is a well -known and humorous trail, but it works here for the audience, RGG tries to the court. Finding out who Majima is is a pleasure for newly arrivals like me. Amnesia stops him from fully revealing, so he felt a bit like a friend to the end, but I appreciated why he was a favorite of fans.
Pirate Yakuza retains fun, often absurd, but high -quality writing of previous games. I did not play the whole game Dragon, but I suspect that it may be a claimant for the most vital entry. Majima becomes a full -fledged pirate captain with her own ship, before he leaves the first chapter, explodes with a song to explain his pirate goals, and even manages a tiny zoo. But even with all this absurd table setting, the narrative is able to find a heart. We have the emphasis on how to make the dreams of a juvenile boy who saved his life when he washed ashore on the beach, is worthy throughout the game.
Where history stumbles a bit in her place in a larger, like a dragon fairy tale. Until the end of Maym, he is more or less where he finished, and the main question, to which the conclusion, to the fact that I forgot even when I finished the infinite wealth. There are several very airy nurses for the future, but they are far from revealing or surprising. Pirate Yakuza did not excite me with the future as the dragon as much as it casually confirmed that yes, he would continue.
Where Pirate Yakuza stands out from other games in the series, he is in the fight and fight of ships. The first one is known to those who played non -rotating RPG entries, but Majima moves faster and has modern humorous tools at his disposal. I particularly liked the hook, which can be used to throw Majima on the battlefield to attack distant opponents. I was never afraid of fighting when Majima, which I admitted, happened to me in 2023, like the Gaiden dragon: a man who erased his name.
The fight of ships, alternatively, is completely modern in the series. I liked traveling around the ocean and take opponents to find a treasure. The fight for gigantic ships and setting cannon shots is more monotonous than fighting the “A ** Holes” groups on the streets of Honolulu, but maintains a tone resembling an arcaded one, especially when it takes his hand off the wheel to shoot a rocket launcher, is a completely profitable option.
The Navy war takes up a lot of side space, so to speak, but there are some distinctive tasks on the path. The surprisingly good racing game Dragon Kart returns and I tried to recruit as many crew members as possible in various missions. However, my favorite side Queest comes from your chef’s ship, Masaru Fujita. When he asks for facilitate in getting to know women, I highly recommend it, especially if you are a fan of reality dating.
Pirate Yakuza may not be the best entrance to the introduction of players with the ongoing narrative of the dragon. I was more delighted with the Majima Improving Loop and his ship and recruitment of modern crew members than in this story, but it provides everything that the series became known. The absurd tone with surprising pockets of earnest pathos, humorous figures and bombastic action are present and included here.
This 2025 review reflects our thoughts on the current state of the game in the publication. Therefore, updates after taking into account were included in the final result.
