Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is tagged as an action and adventure game, developed by RGG Studio and published by SEGA. It is a single-player game told from the viewpoint of Kiryu, the former legend who gave up his name and faked his own death to protect his family. The story fills the blank period after the events of 人中之龍6 生命詩篇。 Kiryu now serves in a secret role for the Daidoji faction, a group that once operated as a white-glove front in Japan, and he must never let anyone outside the organization learn he is still alive. Life under that arrangement is quiet and confined, and the store description suggests that a presence is closing in on him, which drives the plot forward.

Combat is the core loop. During fights, Kiryu can switch between two styles. Dragon style evolves the series' flashy, satisfying street-brawl action, while Agent style combines fighting techniques from across history with specialist tools such as restraining wires to subdue enemies quickly. The store page frames the choice as a tactical one: you pick power or speed depending on the situation and mix both styles to take control of a battle.

Between story missions, the game leans heavily on its entertainment venues, which the description calls a central part of the series. The arena offers a crowd of strong opponents, the Public Relations Club uses live-action video for an intense atmosphere, and karaoke, a rail-car attraction, and dart throwing return after major upgrades. The venues are meant to be played freely, so the side activities are a big part of the appeal.

The store description also mentions a Like a Dragon 8 Special Trial that unlocks after you clear this game. It includes scenes not found in the main Like a Dragon 8 and requires an internet connection. The add-on is planned for release after launch, so treat it as a future bonus rather than something available on day one.

Steam rates this game Overwhelmingly Positive (壓倒性好評), with 95% of reviews positive. The review volume is in the tens of thousands of reviews, so the rating rests on a large pool of opinions rather than a handful of early players.

Overwhelmingly Positive is the top tier of Steam's review scale, and with a volume this large the percentage tends to be stable, which makes it a useful signal of how most players feel. Smaller titles with few reviews can swing sharply, so the label carries more weight here than it would for a brand-new release. Keep in mind that Steam labels reflect player sentiment rather than an objective quality score.

All prices in this section are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. The game currently lists at NT$ 1190 with no discount applied, and that is also its regular price on record. Our price record is still short, so the verdict below is tentative.

The lowest paid price we recorded is NT$ 297, which appeared on the first day we tracked the game. The game is discounted often in our records, with a deepest discount of 75 percent, and the highest price we have recorded is NT$ 1190.

The game has never been free to keep in our tracked record, so there is no free offer to wait for. Because the current price sits at the top of our recorded range, it is a reasonable time to wishlist the game and wait for a sale rather than buy at full price. If you want a price closer to the lowest we have seen, be prepared to wait, since our short record cannot tell you when the next discount will arrive.
