What Is Stranger Than Heaven?

Stranger Than Heaven kicks off in San Francisco in 1915, when our (anti)hero Makoto Daito is a child. Born of an American father and a Japanese mother, he doesn’t fit in with the rest of the kids. After losing his parents, he travels to Japan in hopes of a better life.

From here, the game follows Makoto throughout his life, as he discovers a talent for music and entertainment, which has him travel from city to city over the coming years. You’ll get to play through Fukuoka in 1915, Hiroshima in 1929, Osaka in 1943, and more. Each city is depicted in its era, while Makoto finds accompanying musicians, writes new songs, and brings shows to the masses.

This is a Like a Dragon spinoff, so you’ll have plenty of enemies to fight along the way. Though the combat takes place in real time, it’s quite a bit different from the typical brawler-style fights in previous Like a Dragon games. It’s slower, more methodical and strategic. You control each of Makoto’s arms and legs separately, with punching assigned to the bumpers and kicking assigned to the triggers. You can also pick up weapons and use them, and fend off enemies with one hand while holding onto one with the other. There’s a lot going on combat-wise in this game.

You’ll also encounter Snoop Dogg and Tupac on your journey, so check out our hands-on preview for more info.
