Story:Ryuu ga Gotoku Ishin! is a historical action-adventure game developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega. Released exclusively in Japan in 2014 for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, it is a spin-off of the Yakuza series, set during the Bakumatsu period of late Edo-era Japan (mid-1800s). The game follows Sakamoto Ryoma, a samurai modeled after series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu, as he becomes embroiled in political turmoil and seeks revenge for his mentor's assassination. The gameplay combines the brawler-style combat of the main Yakuza series with swordplay and gunfighting mechanics. Players can engage in the main story, participate in side activities, and explore the historical setting of Kyo (based on Kyoto).Show more

The version of this game on steam is very bad and has Denuvo. On top of that it isn't a very good port as they changed the visuals and characters a lot to be more recognizable with fans of 0. While I enjoy 0 I think they should just release the original game as it was. Please consider voting for this if you are a fan of the series.
Much better than the terrible Kiwami version that was released in 2023. Ishin Kiwami ruined the combat and removed content among other completely baffling changes such as the awful blacksmith rework and turning Amon from one of the hardest fights in the series to a total joke of a superboss. The original Ishin is in a pretty bleak spot right now as the original game was de-listed from PSN in favor of the inferior Kiwami version, and the fan-translation project was cancelled. I would love to see the original Ishin get properly re-released and translated one day, but it may never happen at this point. I can dream at least.

Players will be able to ride on the 500 different monsters that populate the game world. The monsters come in either land, sea, or sky varieties, meaning that different types monsters are required to traverse different paths.
