Yakuza: Dead Souls, known as Ryu ga Gotoku of the End (龍が如く OF THE END) in Japan, is an action game developed and published by Sega for the PlayStation 3. The game is part of the Yakuza series and was intended for release shortly after Yakuza 4, but was delayed due to the 2011 tsunami. Dead Souls combines the Yakuza universe with a zombie outbreak scenario and is a Third Person Shooter game, unlike previous games which were beat em' ups.
Dead Souls, unlike previous games, particulary 3 and 4 received mostly mixed reviews from overseas reviewers due to genre shift and several design problems. Controls especially criticized. (for example, left stick is used for aiming gun instead of right stick like most shooting games)
It is believed that Binary Domain, another TPS released in early 2012 by Team Yakuza, is made based on experience and feedback learned from Dead Souls.
Similar to Yakuza 4, Dead Souls has 4 main characters and main story is divided between four parts, culminating in the final fifth part.
Dead Souls is considered a parody or "what-if" game and is not considered canon.
Story
A zombie outbreak occurs in Kamuro-cho. Dead rise from their graves and attack the living. Those who bitten, turn to zombies and no cure for the infected seems to be avaiable. Japanese Self-Defense Force called in and they attempt to block parts of the city in order to prevent the spread of disase further. It is eventually revealed that this is not a natural disaster, rather a well planned and executed attack on Kamuro-cho, aimed at Tojo Clan, particulary the fifth chairman, Kazuma Kiryu.
Characters
Shun Akiyama One of the main character from Yakuza 4, Akiyama continues his life as a money lender with his secretary Hana. His somewhat dull life is shattered when he finds himself in the middile of the zombie outbreak. Escaping from his office, which is in the sealed-off section of Kamuro-cho, Akiayama attempt to find a safe place for Hana who is now going down with a fever.
Akiyama's signature weapons are a pair of fast firing handguns.
Goro Majima One of Kiryu's closes allies (and a fan favourite) Goro "Mad Dog" Majima starts his part of the story in the Millenium Tower, where the office of Majima Family is located. After tower is attacked by zombies, Majima gleefully grabs his shotgun and happily joins the fight to save the Kamuro-cho from undead.
Majima's signature weapon is a automatic shotgun.
Ryuji Gohda Primary antogonist of Yakuza 2, Gohda, who was presumed killed at the end of the Yakuza 2 returns as a playable character. Kicked out of Omi Alliance after the events of the Yakuza 2, Gohda eventually settles down in Kamuro-cho as an assistant Takoyaki chef. He is involved with story when, Tetsuo Nikaido, his underling from his days as a member of Omi Alliance, visits him and asks him to join up with him again. Not wanting to go back his old life, Gohda refuses and immadiately after town is overrun by zombies. Worried that Nikaido might have a hand in this, Gohda enters the fight.
Gohda's signature weapon is his robotic right arm which can transform into a gatling gun.
Kazuma Kiryu Kiryu returns to Kamuro-cho once more when his adopted daughter Haruka is kidnapped by an unkown man. Not wanting to kill people, he eventually refuses to use guns but finally relents after witnessing the death of a fellow yakuza.
Kiryu's signature weapon is a powerful anti-materiel rifle, which he gains at the end of Part 4.
