8 Times Popular Gaming Series Switched Genreshttps://www.thegamer.com/famous-gaming-series-changed-genres/?Fallout, Pac-Man, Resident Evil, Yakuza...
Most of the Yakuza games are action-adventure beat 'em ups, containing compelling stories and likable protagonists. Surprisingly, after the series had been going on for 15 years, the developers decided to change things for the seventh game, Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
This 2020 title is a pure role-playing game. And rather than beat 'em up style combat, it contains a turn-based system. Luckily, it doesn't completely do away with everything that came before. For instance, the series' charming wackiness is still there. Plus, Yakuza's signature brawling still exists in the Judgment spin-off titles.
