Streets of Kamurocho It is a love letter to both the yakuza series as well as streets of rage combining both into a simple and small fun promotional game.
And as the title of the game implies, you pretty much go through the entirety of kamurocho fighting a bunch of yakuza henchman, as well as punks and Chinese mafia members.

Considering that the game mostly resonates and is in line with the 1st game/Kiwami, you fight a bunch of enemies with the background being a 16 bit rendition of the battle encounter theme, and fight 3 bosses from Yakuza 1/Kiwami being Lau Ka Long, Koji Shindo, and finally Akira Nishikiyama.

The levels are short and sweet and have essentially taken the area of kamorucho and made It into a beat em style game.

If I do have some critiques, in terms of it would have been cooler if they added more bosses from 2-6 rather than just the first game, they could repeat the round system but every new round would have a different final boss, like for example:

Round 1 -Akira Nishikiyama
Round 2 - Goda Ryuji
Round 3- Mine
Round 4 - Saejima (hes not a villian but would be a lit boss fight in terms of representation for Yakuza 4)
Round 5 - Aizawa
Round 6 - Iwami or Someya
Round Bonus - Kuze or Shibusawa

And then have the rounds repeat just having them get gradually harder.
Or they could've just had different bosses for Majima and Ichiban.
The 3 characters to play as are:

KIRYU KAZUMA
GORO MAJIMA
ICHIBAN KASUGA

Each play similary but all have unique sprites and voices and your basic punches and heat actions however the heat actions when use cause you to lose health upon usage so use them carefully.

The game is free (though unlisted if you search it via steam however if you search via Google and find the page you can still play it) so even though i have issues, I enjoyed my time with it 😁👍🏻
