Like a Dragon is by no means grounded or realistic, but it makes the mundane fantastical in wonderful ways Plus, all silliness aside, it tells a great story packed with memorable characters, serious moments, and a ton of heart. An epic boss fight that would be against a gigantic monster anywhere else is against… a regular dude trying to kill you with a backhoe. Rather than summon a magical beast or deity mid-battle, Kasuga whips out his phone and uses the “Poundmates” app to order a pounding for his enemies from a muscular friend - or, you know, a severe pinching by a school of crayfish, or an HP-restoring egg fired from the back end of a chicken. Like many RPGs, Like a Dragon has a job system and summons, but instead of jobs like Black Mage or Mystic Knight, your party members take on more ordinary roles like Chef, Construction Worker, or Breakdancer. level now.LoginGAMERS DECIDECovering The Best Video Games, Esports, Movies and Geek CultureLoginRegisterMain menuHomeAll gamesPC Game TrailersPC Game TrailersForumNews HomePC Game TrailersNewsMenu Top Best RPGs 2018 Ranked Updated Mar 2020.

In a lot of ways, the Yakuza games have always been JRPGs masquerading as action-packed beat-’em-ups, but with this entry RGG Studios fully leaned into it. Every pixel in this 2D game is simulated by a physics engine.
Though it’s a solid role-playing game in and of itself, Yakuza: Like a Dragon is also a hilarious spoof of and loving homage to JRPGs as a genre. Noita is a rogue-lite action-adventure RPG created by an all-star team of indie devs, including the people behind The Swapper, Crayon Physics Deluxe, and Baba is You all fantastic games you can’t miss out on.
