Yakuza: Dead Souls features four playable characters, each with unique starting weapons and abilities. You'll switch between them as the story progresses. Kiryu Kazuma is a balanced fighter with a powerful shotgun. Goro Majima wields a submachine gun, excelling at crowd control. Ryuji Goda uses a powerful gatling gun, perfect for heavy targets. Shun Akiyama is agile and uses dual pistols, ideal for precision shots. While you can't freely switch characters outside of specific story points, understanding their strengths is key. Each character also has a unique 'Ultimate Heat Action' that can be devastating when activated. Pay attention to their individual skill trees, which allow you to upgrade their health, attack power, and unlock new abilities. Prioritize upgrades that complement your playstyle and the challenges ahead.
