Features:
- Law and Disorder: Lost Judgment puts players in the footsteps of a lawyer, Takayuki Yagami, who turns into a beating detective. Together with their partner, the ex-yakuza Masaharu Kaito, the duo is set on a supposedly perfect crime, the main suspect of which seems to have a perfect alibi. What begins as a story of revenge leads to a fabric of conspiracies in which various factions want to take advantage of the broken legal system. But as the number of victims increases and Yagami gets closer to the truth, he increasingly has to choose between law and justice.
- Freeform Combat: Yagami’s fighting skills make it possible to deal with any situation in style – whether against groups or hand-to-hand. Various arts are available to him, Harness Crane, Tiger and the new Snake Style, a graceful fighting style that can be used to deflect enemy attacks and direct them against yourself.
- Investigative Action: Yagami’s arsenal of detective tricks is expanding with new gadgets, the secret tracking of suspects and sophisticated infiltration methods. In order to get closer to the truth, Yagami leaves no stone unturned.
- No better place – players experience an authentic setting in the bustling inner cities of Tokyo and Yokohama that only RGG Studio can bring to life. The next favorite meeting point can be found in Club-SEGA and cases from regular guests can be taken over.
