Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name

Joryu (Kiryu) fights through 1-on-1s, team battles, survival, and weapon matches in the arena, using gear and accessories. Clearing Bronze, Silver, and Gold to hit Platinum Rank unlocks the 'Four Kings of the Coliseum' substory.

• You can't use healing items inside Coliseum matches — upgrade your Health and Attack abilities before entering.
• Use the Agent style's wire/electric devices to lock enemies down, and lean on AoE moves to thin out crowds in team battles.
• The Four Kings are item-banned boss fights — go in with the Yakuza style's heavy combos and clean guard/dodge timing.
• Team battles and survival are "damage is king" — equip attack-boosting gear over defense and pack your ally slots with attackers, mixing in one or two who have self-heal abilities. Buy top gear from Mizorogi's Shop / the Castle Boutique and raise allies to max Level/Bond (Lv.20, Bond Lv.3).
• Swap in resistance gear to match the arena hazard (fire/electric) and fill your Heat gauge before the match starts (no items mid-match). The fastest crowd-clear is Agent style's Extreme Heat Mode light attacks (they launch enemies) plus the Serpent/wire gadget; for weapon matches, spam heavy attacks with the infinite-durability weapon to stun-lock the opponent.

A cabaret club where the hostesses appear as live-action video. A session is ordering drinks, answering conversation prompts, then an optional gift, all to raise Affection. Club Heavenly has two hostesses, Kei and Ayu; maxing Affection unlocks their special events.

• Each visit costs ¥10,000 plus drinks and gifts — bring plenty of cash.
• Pick the most affectionate, empathetic answer and Affection usually rises — use a per-hostess answer cheat sheet if you get stuck.
• Equip 'mini-more Perfume' type gear for a bonus to Affection gains.
• Kei rewards blunt, honest answers over polite hedging. Sample best picks: 'someone who does live broadcasts online,' 'to become a legendary Streamer,' and finally 'I believe in you.' For Ayu, expensive drinks/gifts raise Affection on top of answers; sample best picks are 'the ability to resist temptation,' 'they should be a role model,' and finally 'Congratulations. Let's raise a glass to you.'

The second cabaret club, located at the Castle, with its own hostesses including Ai, Kaname, and Kokoro. It works the same as Heavenly — drinks, conversation, gifts to raise Affection — with Castle-exclusive events.

• You get free run of the Castle later on, so it's fine to tackle the Castle hostesses after Heavenly.
• Each hostess has different preferred gifts and right answers — check the Affection threshold marker before you respond.
• For the highest hit rate, follow a per-hostess best-answers guide.
• Castle hostess best picks — Kaname: 'no need to be so polite,' 'you have my support,' finally 'just be your usual self, and you'll be fine.' Kokoro: 'kids are great!,' 'yeah! Let's have a blast tonight,' finally 'don't give up.' Ai: 'overcoming stress together creates passion,' 'I'd like to,' finally 'you're everything to me.'

The return of the build-and-tune mini RC racer. Assemble motors, gears, tires, frames, and batteries to suit each track; during a race you only control when to fire Boost.

• Each track wants a different setup — speed builds for long straights, slow/stable builds for tracks full of sharp corners so you don't fly off.
• Spend Boost sparingly — before corners or when you risk falling off — overusing it throws the car off the track.
• Collect parts around town and shops; copying a proven recommended build (e.g. Golem Jaguar + slim tires) reliably wins even the late cups.
• Late-game (Masters Cup) build: Ultra Godspeed Motor + Ultra Boost Gears + Ultra Spiked Tires + Ultra Balanced Frame + High-Speed Battery + Heavy Suspension + Rainbow Wing. Early on, High Torque Motor Mk.2 + Balanced Gears + Slim Tires + Rocket Frame + Regular Battery is enough.

Retro games on the old CRT and SEGA Mark III (the Master System in the West) in a side room of the Daidoji hideout. There are 12 total — four (Fantasy Zone, Secret Command, Penguin Land, Maze Hunter 3-D) from the start, the other eight obtained out in the world.

• The trophy/achievement only needs five games played — the four starters plus any one more earns 'Retro Gamer.'
• To fully complete the Akame Network log you must obtain and play all 12 at least once each.
• Game ROMs are scattered on umbrellas, at Ebisu Pawn, the Castle casino, and more — follow a location guide to collect them.

Standard Japanese riichi mahjong — tricky if you don't know the rules, but one pattern is enough for completion.

• Keep your hand fully closed (never call Pon/Chi) so you can declare Riichi.
• Chase Tanyao (only simples 2–8); declare Riichi at tenpai and a yaku attaches automatically.
• Completion only needs wins, not big scores — prioritize fast hands.

Japanese chess. Its defining 'drop' rule lets you redeploy captured pieces as your own; a single win against the AI is enough for completion.

• Lean on drops — redeploying captured pieces onto empty squares ramps up your attacking pressure.
• Castle your king behind golds and silvers first to lock down your defense before attacking.
• If the rules feel alien, pick an easy opponent and grab the one win you need.

A traditional Japanese card game where you form 'yaku' combinations from hanafuda cards. After completing a yaku you call 'koi-koi' to gamble for more, or stop to bank your score.

• Match cards of the same month from the field to capture them — always track which yaku you're closest to.
• Once you have a yaku, banking it is the safe play — calling koi-koi backfires badly if the opponent finishes first.

A baccarat-like Japanese gambling game where you aim for a card total whose last digit is closest to 9. Simple and luck-heavy; completion is about hitting a winnings target.

• The closer your last digit is to 9 (kabu), the stronger your hand — decide whether to draw a third card by that digit.
• It's swingy — bet small across many rounds to grind your way to the target safely.

Play poker, blackjack, and more with chips at the Castle casino. Chips trade for exclusive prizes — including retro game ROMs — which makes the casino useful for completion.

• In blackjack, sticking to basic strategy against the dealer's up-card (e.g. stand on 17+) gives the steadiest returns.
• In poker, play conservatively — raise only on strong hands rather than bluffing — to limit chip losses.
• Once you've banked enough chips, prioritize prize-counter items like Master System ROMs that feed completion.

301 and Count-Up modes — time your throw as the swaying reticle crosses the target.

• Release the instant the reticle crosses your target (bullseye or triple-20).
• In 301 don't force triples — steady 20s and bulls that bring you to exactly zero win it.

Pocket billiards (nine-ball, etc.). Aim, adjust power and spin, and sink balls; completion just wants a clean win.

• Control your power with the next shot's cue-ball position (position play) already in mind.
• A touch of english to steer the cue ball makes stringing pots together much easier.

A timing rhythm game with series classics; aim for a target score on each track.

• Input exactly as the note overlaps the ring — trust the on-screen cue over the music's beat.
• For stubborn songs, memorize the pattern from a full-combo video for a steady high score.
