Like its Yakuza predecessors, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth breaks up its more heartfelt and dramatic moments with all sorts of weird and wonderful minigames like karaoke and darts. However, while these might seem like frivolous diversions from the main story on the outside, scratch the surface, and you’ll find something far more meaningful.
Much like how the karaoke rhythm game offers surprisingly resonant insights into the backstories of main characters, covered by the guise of an entertaining opportunity to stray from the traditional Yakuza experience, Infinite Wealth’s Pokémon parody had a great deal of hidden depth to offer, too. The minigame tasks you with collecting a squad of ‘super jittery men’ (abbreviated to ‘Sujimon) and coach them through what are, essentially, street brawls.
