It's an over the top turn based RPG. It is filled with mini games and heavily story driven with a ton of sidequests.

In combat, you can't actually move, everyone runs around on their own. However, if you select Enemy B, and Enemy A is between the two of you, they will slap you and prevent your attack. This works both ways, as well as for objects on the ground that get used as weaponry. In past Yakuza games, the real-time fighting meant you had to run around and grab trash cans etc. Since you can't do that here, instead if you are near them (mostly Kasuga, maybe others depending on what job they are, I haven't unlocked job switching yet), you will grab the object or kick it at the enemy before rushing in for the standard attack, and others in the way of the target could take the hit instead if the object is thrown/kicked.

Sometimes you can stun or knock an enemy down, but even though the game is turn based, knocked down enemies will get up soon even if you're dallying in menus. Stun sticks until their turn, but a simple knockdown won't. Knocked down enemies take extra damage since you'll curb stomp them or something in place of a standard attack. I guess you could consider this to be a bit similar to the Press Turn system of Persona for hitting weaknesses.

You also have actual special moves and abilities that use MP, and yes you have a Magic stat even though this game takes place in modern times XD. Summons as well, because Kasuga loves Dragon Quest and they use that as the entire excuse to have made the game turn based, and even talk about DQ in-game. Even the enemies have really goofy and insensitive names like Hungry Hungry Homeless Name. It is a bit jarring to see the exact same face/outfit on enemies in battle but whatever, you're about to smash them in.

As someone that has felt the series was beyond stale for awhile now, I am totally loving this.
