As SEGA's most anticipated modern underworld-themed JRPG series, "Like a Dragon" has already brought players one wonderful classic story after another, and its production scale has also continued to expand, gradually popularizing around the world. From Kiryu Kazuma's street fighting to Kasuga's revival strategy, "Like a Dragon" is no longer a monotonous and rough action IP, but has long developed into a complex narrative that reflects the microcosm of society and the life of Baiwei.
The new game "Dragon Among Us 8" brings a richer culture and world view, providing players around the world with a broad stage from Yokohama to Hawaii. While maintaining the series' consistent hardcore combat style, this game incorporates more character depth and story breadth, bringing players an unprecedented gaming experience.
The story continues the usual depth of the series, and in Dragon Among Us 8, players will embark on a new adventure from Yokohama to Hawaii. In the process of realizing the revitalization plan, the fates of the two protagonists are once again intertwined as Kazuban Kazuma Kazuma Kiryu is encountered by chance while chasing an important clue, and this work also deduces the largest narrative scale in the history of the series. But even before heading to the beach, the Injincho area has plenty of daily events to do. Outside of the main story, each character in the game has their own growth line and backstory, and players can gradually unlock new story chapters through different missions and adventures.
In terms of mission design, from the simple street brawls of the beginner's tutorial to the complex organizational infighting in the later stage, every step is closely related to the main quest. As the game progresses, players will face more diverse and challenging enemies, and will need to constantly improve their combat skills and strategies to deal with these new level designs. In addition to the main story, the game's side plots and collectibles system are also very interesting, from noisy neighborhoods to gorgeous beaches, each location is full of quests and activities, which greatly enriches the player's daily routine.
The game's combat system continues to follow from its critically acclaimed predecessor with an improved half-real-time, half-turn-based operation mode that allows players to customize their own skills and fighting styles, such as Kasuga's direct attacks and Kiryu's skill support, and adjust tactics in real time during combat to respond to changing enemies and battlefield environments. The QTE that is unique to the series has also been retained, and the scene of tables, chairs, benches, and water pipes and bricks going into battle continues to amplify the melee fun of this game. In addition, the new level and equipment recommendation mechanics in this game can also better guide players to find suitable opponents. It can be said that "Dragon Among Men 8" has a wide audience, and it is currently the most suitable game for novices to enter the series.
Similarly, the map design of this enhanced version is even more impressive. The density of shops and interactive NPCs in the game has been greatly increased, and the prompt signs on the large map are also easier to observe, and you will always find familiar faces to greet each other when passing by the street, which makes the realism of this game a significant improvement compared to the previous game, and the smartphone menu, as well as the addition of taxis and balance cars, also make the game's urban flavor more prominent and more modern. In terms of the quantity and quality of mini-games, such as traditional karaoke, dating, fishing and the newly added construction of Taiko Island, etc., this game is even more super-amplified, making it impossible to distinguish between the main game and the casual game.
In addition, with the successful testing of the previous work in international production, this game also introduces a full range of Chinese localization production from interface to voice for the first time. In terms of dubbing, although the full screen of strong muscles and the new vocal style will make players feel unaccustomed at the beginning, but overall, the dubbing quality of this work is still first-class in the industry, and even in the song ordering column, the production team has also thoughtfully redone the Chinese lyrics for the soundtrack. Presumably, through this alone, players can feel the care of this work.
Whether it is the delicate portrayal of the characters' expressions, the fine presentation of the texture of the clothes, or the interactive details in the environment, as well as the real-time calculation of the background character behavior, etc., the quality of the picture details of this work has not cut corners, and the overall cultural reproduction of Japan and Hawaii is also very detailed and full of characteristics. Even though the game genre has changed dramatically and encountered various difficulties in the development process, the latest "Dragon Among Men" still does not compromise on the polishing of details, and such efforts will naturally gain the recognition of players.
All in all, whether you're a series veteran or a newcomer looking to broaden your playstyle, this game will bring you a high-quality comprehensive experience. Whether you're picking up trash on a glittery city corner, or fighting on a heterogeneous golden beach, it's up to players to experience for themselves whether the story of Big Brother Kiryu will be another glorious one, or whether it will finally come to an end.
