Game Summary:
Yakuza : Dead Souls (OF THE END. ”Like a Dragon Of the End”)is an action-adventure video game, developed and published by Sega exclusively for the PlayStation 3. The game is the sixth installment in the Yakuza series. The game’s concept and keyword is ”destruction”; a promotional image for the game showed the series’ main locale, Kamurocho, in ruins. Leaked scans of the Famitsu issue released on September 16, the first day of the 2010 Tokyo Game Show, revealed that the game would be set during a zombie outbreak in Kamurocho and reportedly after the events of Yakuza 4. The game was originally scheduled for release in Japan on March 17, 2011 two days after the release of Yakuza 4 in North America; however, after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, the release was indefinitely delayed. A new release date, setting the game’s release for June 9, was announced on April 7. The game will also be released in North America and Europe by Sega in March 2012
Reception
PlayStation LifeStyle’s Heath Hindman called the game ”OK for what it is” in his review, praising the story and boss fights, but didn’t like the dwarfed exploration and how dull the combat became as the game went on, saying, ”Yakuza: Dead Souls isn’t going to bring in any new blood to the Yakuza series, but for its existing fans, it provides an interesting story and gameplay elements that haven’t been explored previously. Combat against the common zombies gets old fast, but there are some great boss battles to balance it out. As a huge Yakuza fan myself, I somewhat enjoyed the game, but wish there would have been a little better pacing and more chances to explore.”
