Bruiser is the first available style and pairs punching with an awesome parry that when timed correctly leaves enemies open to a beating. Instead of the three fighting styles Yagami has in the core experience, Kaito has two – Bruiser and Tank. In terms of gameplay, it essentially plays exactly how it does in the base game of Lost Judgment. They are fantastic to look at though, with impressive visuals accompanying a quality soundtrack that contains both new and original Lost Judgment tracks. It’s serious and emotional throughout, yet still manages to have zany and bizarre moments as is standard for the Yakuza series.Īs Lost Judgment was, The Kaito Files is largely made up of cutscenes, something I personally feel is acceptable given the quality of the narrative, but those who aren’t a fan of lengthy cutscenes beware. ![]() All in all, the story of The Kaito Files and the way in which it is presented is stellar. While I’m sure most purists won’t give the English dub the time of day, I was again wowed by how good the vocal performances are across the board. Getting to witness Kaito in his Matsugane Family days and see how his unbridled dedication to the Yakuza led to the downfall of his relationship with Mikiko and more than a decade of subsequent regret is as awesome as it is devastating, in turn making the already mysterious case at hand even more interesting given their past history.Īlso impressive is how well the writing team succeeded in building up the primary antagonist (as they did in the main story), making for a character I couldn’t wait to beat down with my fist as soon as I finally got the chance.Įvery character’s performance is not only amplified by top notch writing and dialogue, but also solid voice acting across both the Japanese and English dub. As to be expected, most of the story focuses on Kaito given his role as the player character, a decision I adore given how much I fell in love with him throughout Lost Judgment.
