Like a Dragon: Ishin has received a new combat trailer showcasing the many ways in which protagonist Sakamoto Ryoma will be able to dole out justice early next year. Focusing on four different combat styles — Swordsman, Gunman, Brawler, and Wild Dancer — Ryo will have plenty of vicious options “to change the course of Japan’s history forever.”
The trailer also reveals that you’ll be able to change between each style during combat, adding strategic layers to each encounter. Particularly impressive is the Wild Dancer style, which appears to incorporate attacks from the other styles in a roiling tornado of blades and bullets. Check out the trailer above to see it in all its glory.
Developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios and published by SEGA, Like a Dragon: Ishin is set in 1860s Japan and is a full remake of the 2014 title of the same name, which was originally released on the PlayStation 3 and PS4. This marks the first time the spin-off has made its way West.
