Pirate Yakuza Adventure Ahoy!
Goro Majima, a notorious ex-yakuza suddenly finds himself shipwrecked on a remote island in the Pacific. Unable to remember even his own name, he sets sail in search of clues to his lost memories, accompanied by a boy named Noah who saved his life. Before long, theyâre caught up in a conflict between cutthroat criminals, modern-day pirates, and other scoundrels over a legendary treasure.
Get Your Ship Together
Assemble a one-of-a-kind crew while upgrading your ship as you explore the open sea and forge your legend in the cannon fire of foes, unexpected friendships, and immense riches made along the way.
When an enemy pirate ship catches you in their sights, an exhilarating real-time cannon battle breaks out. Quickly maneuver into position while avoiding fire, then deliver devastating damage to board the enemy ship and take down the captain in all-out crew vs. crew brawls. Conquer the seas, discover hidden islands and acquire loads of loot like a true yakuza pirate!
Kick Arrrss With Creative Combat
Dynamically switch between the âMad Dogâ and âPirateâ fighting styles to mix-up attacks and deliver explosive combos, juggles, and aerial takedowns that reward your creativity with over-the-top action.
With âMad Dogâ style, utilize speed, agility, and flair to deliver precise yet powerful blows that stun your enemies into submission.
Or make enemies walk the plank with the âPirateâ style that has you dual-wielding short swords and deploying tricky pirate tools to kick some serious booty.
Story
After losing his memory, Goro Majima, a once-feared legend in the yakuza world, sets sail in search of treasure.
Half a year ago teaming up with Kiryu for a massive battle in the Millenium Tower, Goro Majima washes up with the wreckage of a boat on the shore of a remote, sparsely populated island. With no memoriesânot even his own nameâMajima joins forces with Noah, the young islander who saved his life, and embarks on a search for clues to his forgotten past. However, what waits for them is a powder-keg world where scoundrels vie for a legendary treasure.
Battle
Push Combat to the Extreme with Two Battle Styles
In addition to his signature Mad Dog style, which is all about speed, Majima can also use his new Sea Dog style to wield a cutlass and other buccaneer gear. Pick the style that works for you to kick, pummel, and slash your way through the filthy bilge rats who stand in your way!
Adventure
Go wild and unleash chaos around the waters of Hawaii as Goro Majima!
Rich Island
A remote island that an amnesiac Goro Majima washes up on. Noah and his family are some of the islandâs few inhabitants. Despite fishing being the mainstay of the local economy, pirates reminiscent of the Age of Discovery can be inexplicably seen sauntering around.
Madlantis
A secret island where multiple criminal organizations coexist. In a cave on the island hides a sprawling pleasure district built around a fleet of massive tankers. The Piratesâ Coliseum, a hub where pirates constantly engage in naval battles, is here.
Nele Island
A holy site of Palekana, a long-standing religious group based in Hawaii. The Haku, the most fervent believers of Palekana, inhabit the island. The island is notably larger than Rich Island and has a proper harbor.
Hawaii
One of the worldâs most famous tourist destinations. You can learn a lot about Hawaii from the owner of a bar called Revolve in Honolulu City.
