About the Games
'Ryu ga Gotoku Kiwami 3' and
'Ryu ga Gotoku 3 Side Story: Dark Ties' collectively redefine the narrative landscape of the series. Released in 2009, 'Ryu ga Gotoku 3' is now given new life as Kiwami 3, while 'Dark Ties' introduces an entirely original storyline. Both experiences are richer and more engaging than ever before.
In 'Ryu ga Gotoku Kiwami 3',
Kazuma Kiryu, the main protagonist, battles to uphold the bonds he cherishes while navigating the vibrant streets of
Okinawa and
Tokyo. The game boasts enhanced battle sequences and enriched story scenes alongside numerous engaging side activities, elevating the overall gameplay experience.
On the other hand, 'Dark Ties' focuses on
Miné Yoshitaka, a formidable adversary to Kiryu. The game's narrative delves into how Miné transitioned from a venture capital leader to a figure entrenched in the yakuza underworld. This narrative exploration adds depth to his character, providing a dual protagonist experience that intertwines both stories seamlessly.
