Yakuza: Dead Souls is an action-adventure video game set in the crime-ridden streets of Kamurocho. The story begins as usual until a zombie outbreak turns it into a quarantine zone, walled off by the Japanese Self Defense Force and gradually expanding as the story progresses. Players can recruit locals to fight alongside them thanks to the new "Buddy" system, while corporate tie-ins including stores from RYU-GA-GOTOKU series contribute to a more realistic experience. There are two versions of Kamurocho available for exploration - one with its red light district and neon lights, and another depicting desperate squalor within the quarantine zone.
