[[caption-width-right:342:The legend of Ryoma Sakamoto unfolds.]]
''Like a Dragon Ishin!'' known in Japan as ''Ryu ga Gotoku Ishin!'' (translates to "Like a Dragon Restoration!"; [[FanNickname unofficially]] known by fans as ''Yakuza Ishin'') is the second samurai-based SpinOff of the ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'' series. It was released on February 22, 2014, for both the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 and UsefulNotes/PlayStation4.
Like its predecessor ''Kenzan'', ''Ishin'' takes place in feudal Japan, this time during the 1800s (during the Bakumatsu period, to be exact, between 1853 and 1857) and focusing on the life of Ryoma Sakamoto, another real-life figure in Japan's history. After the murder of both his mentor and father figure, Sakamoto goes undercover to find out the identity of the swordsman who took them down. Under the name Saito Hajime, he infiltrates and joins the Shinsengumi, a police force organized by the government at the time, in order to get to the bottom of his predicament.
The combat expands upon the HackAndSlash-based system of ''Kenzan'', but with several new elements including the addition of more special weapons, including spears and axes, as well as the addition of gunplay with the ability to use a pistol, either on its own or along with your sword to allow for more combo variety. Due to the universe of ''Yakuza'' expanding drastically since ''Kenzan'', the open-world gameplay also received an overhaul, with a larger map, more substories and characters, and more of the quirky minigames that the series is now famous for, including fan dancing, chicken racing, and even raising a farm. Also included is the Battle Dungeon mode, which allows you to traverse several halls of enemies with the assistance of Soldier Cards, which give you a boost in a certain stat during combat; playing this mode allows you to gain rare items to craft better weapons and gear.
The [=PS4=] version was a launch title for the system in Japan, making it the first game in the series to release for the eighth generation. As ''Kenzan'' launched when the series was still relatively new, ''Ishin'' boasts a much larger cast of familiar characters to model its own after, due to the series increasing its cast significantly since then.
Just like ''Kenzan'', ''Ishin'' also only came out in Japan, with Western players able to buy an imported copy to experience it for themselves on either platform, due to the [=PS4=] being region-free as well. If you don't speak any Japanese, [=KHHsubs=] once again has fans covered, with [[http://www.khhsubs.com/projectsrggishin.html an in-depth, translated guide]] for the game, including a full text walkthrough, a downloadable [=PDF=] guide, help with weapon forging and substories, a translated video walkthrough in the works, and more. While Sega initially stated they had no plans to export the title, they revealed in August 2019 that localization was under consideration.
On September 2022, during the Sony State of Play, a remake of ''Ishin'' was announced. Titled ''Like A Dragon: Ishin!''[[labelnote:JP]] 『龍が如く 維新！ 極』 ("Like a Dragon Ishin! Kiwami")[[/labelnote]], the game is scheduled to be released worldwide for the [=PlayStation=] 4, UsefulNotes/PlayStation5, UsefulNotes/XboxOne, UsefulNotes/XboxSeriesXAndS and {{UsefulNotes/Steam}} on February 2023.
[[https://youtu.be/iWCjnYx7Ytc Teaser Trailer (Remake)]]
!!''Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin!'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* AdaptationExpansion: As shown by the Ambush Trailer, the remake will feature [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute counterparts]] of characters introduced after the original release, such as [[VideoGame/Yakuza0 Kuze]], [[VideoGame/Yakuza6 Joon-Gi Han]], and [[VideoGame/YakuzaLikeADragon Zhao]].
* AnachronismStew: ''Yes'', '''''Don Quijote''''' exists here in feudal Japan, abeit a fittingly historical adaptation of it that uses ''hiragana'' for its storefront logo.
** Somehow, karaoke exists in the ''Ishin'' universe, at least a century before it was invented.
* BathhouseBlitz: A fight against Saigo Kichinosuke (who's [[VideoGame/Yakuza2 Ryuji Goda]]'s counterpart in the game) takes place in a bathhouse.
* DemotedToExtra: Haruka had a large role in ''Kenzan'', being one of the central figures in its plot. In ''Ishin'', she not only has much less screentime, but doesn't even contribute to the main story. Instead, she's the focus of the entirely optional Another Life sidequest. That being said, doing it will still allow you to build your bond with her and become her parental figure as you'd expect.
* ExcitedShowTitle: ''Ryu ga Gotoku Ishin!'', similarly to ''Kenzan'' before it.
* FullFrontalAssault: A boss battle between Sakamoto and Saigo Kichinosuke takes place [[BathhouseBlitz in a bath house]], and both characters fight entirely in the nude, with only CensorSteam hiding the naughty bits.
* {{Jidaigeki}}: The game is set during 1800s Japan, during the Bakumatsu period.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: The game has you play as Sakamoto Ryoma (modeled after ''Yakuza'' protagonist Kazuma Kiryu), and also features other Japanese historical figures of the time.
* OnlyAFleshWound: Like its predecessor ''Kenzan'', having the ability to use weapons at will turns the ridiculous durability of enemies during random encounters even further. Even by the series' standards, it's quite baffling to see people survive getting shot at point-blank range multiple times with a pistol, sliced up with a sword, or both.
* OrphanedSeries: Possibly. At the moment, the samurai subseries of ''Yakuza'' is likely done, as the gap between ''Ishin'' and ''Kenzan'' was 6 years as it was, and in the time since then, the main series moved away from action to turn-based [=RPG=], with ''Judgment'' serving as a continuation of the brawler format. Unless the duo does get localized, it's likely to remain as such. With a remake coming in 2023, however, there is a possibility for the spinoff series to continue.
* ReusedCharacterDesign: Protagonist Sakamoto Ryoma is clearly modeled after series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu, and many other characters' designs are similarly based on existing ''Yakuza'' characters.
* SadBattleMusic: While the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G25zh83_gvc first]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOM_8Dfc7tI two]] phases of the FinalBoss theme start off bombastic... the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KB6f5fQn0Y final phase theme]] however takes on a very melancholic tone compared to the other two.
* SecretIdentity: Sakamoto Ryoma takes on the alias "Saito Hajime" while living undercover.
* SpiritualSuccessor: Was officially considered this to ''Kenzan'' upon its release due to its unconnected story, but fans considered it to be a sequel overtime due to sharing a historical setting and the incorporation of swordplay. The studio has more or less adopted this stance as well, always discussing the two as a duo on the occasions they've brought it up.
* StanceSystem: Just like its predecessor ''Kenzan'', this game has a stance system, this time more diverse than ''Kenzan'', and you unlock more styles as you progress.
* SwordAndGun: This is one of the fighting styles you can use, called Wild Dancer. While fast and able to dish out extreme amounts of damage, [[FragileSpeedster that speed]] and [[GlassCannon power comes at the expense of being unable to block.]]
* VariableMix: The normal battle music subtly changes in instrumentation when Ryoma switches between his four stances.
