Streets of Kamurocho is a promotional freeware beat 'em up video game co-developed by Empty Clip Studios and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega. It is a mashup between Streets of Rage 2 and the Yakuza series, made available for a limited time on 17 October, 2020 through the Steam store to commemorate Sega's 60 years.
The game has since been removed from the Steam store, meaning it can no longer be downloaded through traditional means. Players who kept have the title listed in their library can still download it even after uninstalling. Additionally, those who wish to play can still download the game via inputting “steam://install//1368430” into their browsers.
Story[]
The death of the Tojo Clan’s Third Chairman has plunged the organization into chaos. The violence spreads to the streets, and only Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima can put an end to the bloodshed.
Gameplay[]
The game features only a single stage, based on the first level from Streets of Rage 2, with the same enemies but with Yakuza makeovers. Once the level is concluded the game loops at a harder difficulty, with the game ending once the player runs out of lives.
Players can choose between Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima initially, with Ichiban Kasuga appearing as an unlockable character. However, all three characters play the same, with their moveset being based on Axel Stone's, down to recycling the same voice clips (the same applies for enemies).
