Matricule77: Dragon Fist by Sniper77 aka Kazuki (french)

 
Matricule77: Dragon Fist is a project that has been in development since 2002. It's a game set in a tough neighborhood in Japan where two gangs are at war. You play as Kazuki Sawada, who must avenge his brother's death at the hands of the Yakuza. But to see the gang leader, he must become a member himself. That's why he joins the Yakuza, a rival gang of the Kengukai. 
 

Matricule77: Dragon Fist is an adventure with real-time action battles. It's pretty violent and realistic, offering a grim urban setting and some really excellent custom graphics, starting from a pretty impressive intro. The game is pretty much open, in the sense that you may freely wander around the city.
 
Award-winning game at the 2006 Alex d'Or:  
- Best Universe (Bronze) 
- Best Longevity (Bronze) 
- Best Immersion (Bronze)  

 
Random Fact: this is the only released game made by Sniper77 aka Kazuki alone, all the other games released by this author were in fact collaborations with at least another developer involved.
 
 
Final Verdict: this game offers action, a unique atmosphere, well-chosen music, and superb artwork by Kanshin. It's a demo, but surely worth checking it out.
