An old-school shakedown.
Between karaoke, crime drama andshareholder meetings, it’s safe to sayYakuzais about so much more than just fighting. But you do punch a lotta blokes in those games.

The demake is another part ofSega’s big 60th birthday eventover on Steam, and is only one of many demakes coming out from the publisher’s various studios.Endless LegenddevsAmplitudehave released arcade shooter Endless Zone, while the RTS buffs at Relic have created top-down Company Of Heroes tank battler Armor Of Heroes.

You’ve only got a couple of days to snag the side-scrolling Yakuza demake, mind. Streets Of Kamurocho will only be available onSteamuntil 6pm UK time on Monday, at which point Sega close the curtains on their big birthday bash.
