Yakuza: Like a Dragon was my GOTY in 2020. And although I didn’t mind its change from an action brawler to a turn-based strategy, I know that a lot of Yakuza fans were put off by this change. Well, good news if you were one of them as there is a mod that turns it into a classic Yakuza action game.
Like A Brawler turns Yakuza: Like a Dragon into a real-time combat action game. This will allow Ichiban Kasuga to fight in real-time. Ichiban will now be able to perform brand new heat actions and utilize multiple styles to efficiently strike down his enemies. This is a game-changer. And yes, I highly recommend trying it.
You can download the mod from this link. You can also find below a showcase video from it.
As you can see, with this mod, Yakuza: Like a Dragon now feels and plays similarly to the older Yakuza games. I’m honestly shocked at how good it looks. It’s incredible what the modder has achieved. And yes, I’m currently downloading this Yakuza game from Steam so I can replay it. So, even if you’ve finished it, you can try replaying the game with this mod.
I also hope that Jhrino will release a similar mod for Yakuza: Infinite Wealth. Similar to Like a Dragon, Yakuza: Infinite Wealth will have a turn-based combat system. So, having the option to play that game with both these combat modes will be fantastic.
All in all, this is the perfect Christmas gift for all Yakuza fans. Again, I’m shocked at how great Like a Dragon feels with this mod. Keep also in mind that Like A Brawler is in a beta phase. As such, you might encounter some bugs or glitches. Nevertheless, this is a must-have mod.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

I wish they’d upgrade the graphics from base xbox one level
I would never want to play it this way. Neat it was possible though.
I’m still stuck at playing Yakuza 5, must gather the will to finish that game.
Hey, some SEGA news, nice.
That’s a good opportunity to screw with Nintendo and inform you that you can download Link’s Awakening DX HD on the internet archive.
That’s a fanmade unofficial PC port which has been taken down by Nintendon’t literally at the second it was released.
Not like I’m interested in playing this overrated piece of crap though.
Screw Nintendo and everybody who work for them.
Worst gaming company ever.
I SO hope that they burn to the ground as soon as possible.

whats the best way to play ocarina of time?
sadly this mod is released too late, i already finished Yakuza 7 since long time a go and not planning replay it, but if it’s released for yakuza 8 i coulde be nice
Yakuza: like anyone cares
they are pumping out yakuza games like crazy, so yes they do care.
Awesome! I’m one of those who didn’t play it because of this retärd system. Turn based games are a huge turn off for me, as they’re break the immersion.
Will undoubtedly try it with this mod. Dude’s the real MVP.
This might get me back into this after a few hours a year or so ago but idk I played 0-6 all in order and might just be yakuzed out at this point. And I couldn’t get into judgement because kiryu was a great character during his normal story arc days, not the drag out the character days post 6. Where’s waldo clownery imo. I do like the ridiculous nature of so much of it but had a hard time with the more comical type of protag in ichiban and the rest. At least the previous titles had for the most part the stern crime drama of OC and such, 7 seems to be a lifestyle change, like going from a battlefield swords warrior to a corpo boardroom warrior lol
I have been surfing online more than 3 hours today yet I never found any interesting article like yours It is pretty worth enough for me In my opinion if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did the web will be much more useful than ever before
Nice post. I learn something totally new and challenging on websites
I do not even understand how I ended up here, but I assumed this publish used to be great
