SEGA has done another deep dive on Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, showing off the various ways Kiryu can have fun in the upcoming title.
The full press release is as follows:
The Coliseum, One of the Main Draws at The Castle
The Castle is an adult theme park only open to a handful of VIPs. Its showcase event is the Hell Arena where a wide range of combat spectacles are held in the Coliseum.
The Hell Arena is packed with every type of combat entertainment imaginable, such as team battles and combat with special rules, to whet the appetites of its discerning clientele. Take control of your allies in addition to Kiryu and conquer the arena!
There are four different types of battle modes at Hell Arena. You can participate in one-on-one tournaments, face off against a horde of fighters in Hell Rumble, or even take part in massive team battles in Hell Team Rumble. Occasionally, there will also be special event matches.
In Hell Team Rumble, it is essential that you adequately organize your team and train them. Your more resilient allies should be placed on the front line, while your support members and allies with ranged weapons should be placed in the rear. Try to come up with your own strategies to capitalize on your team’s individual traits!
